today was a good day. first day off after finals. amber and i went to the la natural history museum (which i have not set foot in since elementary school) and we saw a lot of cool displays and stuff. granted, we got there like 2 hours before they closed so we weren't able to take our time. apparently samuel oschin and his wife donated money to this place too, the african mammal wing is named after them. samuel oschin and his wife donated money for the planetarium at the griffith observatory. super cool. they have an actual megamouth shark and an oarfish preserved in what i'm assuming is formaldehyde or something. so crazy! i wonder what a giant squid looks like in person. even better, a colossal squid! not that many of those wash up or anything, they are super deep water dwelling creatures. i really liked the museum. it reminded me a bit of the santa barbara natural history museum, but on a grander scale. a huge portion of it was under renovations, so a good portion was cut off. the usc stadium was right across the way from the museum, that was kind of neat. it was super huge. after we left the museum, we were headed to wacko to see if we could find any cool gifts for christmas presents (and for my sister's birthday). there was a record shop on that street called vacation, i definitely want to go back there soon and check it out a little bit more thoroughly. they had a bigger selection of heavier stuff there. i liked the way that everything was organized there.
after we left wacko, we walked up the street to cruzer's. i haven't been back here since allie and i came before we went to the griffith observatory, and that was in august. but since then, they've become the first all vegan pizzeria in california. i wasn't too hungry, but i wanted to show my support so i got a calzone with daiya cheese, green peppers, mushrooms and pepperoni in it. delicious! amber and i split one and we killed it in probably less than 5 minutes. we left cruzer's and went to scoops for ice cream afterwards. i haven't been to scoops since dan lee and i went that one day, and that was also awhile ago. actually, i think it was recently after my birthday because i remember him buying my ice cream and pure luck on that day. so july-ish. i had a scoop of vanilla oreo and chocolate hazelnut. super good. i had a really good time hanging out with amber. i think we are both super relieved to be on winter break right now. we are gonna go see the room on saturday at midnight. excited.
i may have to go to target and buy some wrapping paper and a tall box now. get my shit wrapped together before i gift them and stuff, you know.
