For a weekend trip you can check out either Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion or Arches National Monument.
Yosemite and Seqoia National Park is a great weekend trip as well. On the way back from Yosemite you can take Tioga Pass (12000 feet and open a few months during the summer) to Mammoth.
You can do Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon and Zion in a fast paced long weekend.
Locally you can check out Huntington Library, Gettys Musuem, Ronald Reagon Library or take a 3 hour trip to Solvang.

Bike riding and kayaking mostly, or stuff with friends. The dog runs my life now, so late nights out partying aren't really possible... not that I'm inclined to want to anymore.
You can rent a couple of kayaks for an hour or two to give it a try; there are lots of rental places locally, but I like Southwind 'cause they keep their kayaks in great shape. They have rental stations in Newport Back Bay and Dana Point.
Really though, what ISN'T there to do in So Cal? It isn't like where I grew up, when sitting on the porch watching the lightning bugs was entertainment. Around here its harder to pick among your choices than to find something to do.
What are you thinking about? Sports? Day trips? Evenings out?

Is it a river kayak or a sea kayak or a recreational kayak? Most any kayak will work on the calm bay areas; if you want to go out into the surf you need a kayak that can handle it. (Conversely, you can't take a 16' sea kayak on a whitewater river. Too bad there's no whitewater around here; I'd like to try it.)

I like to snowboard during the winter.
If you run out of things to think of just grab a tourist handbook at the book store and start going down the list.
