Default A/C problems

For some reason, the AC in my 2K coupe doesn't want to turn on. I hit the AC button and after a second or so, it just goes out. I can turn the automatic climate control on and it won't blow cold either. I just got this car a month or so ago and haven't yet had a chance to look at it (just figured this out on the way to work). Any ideas? Maybe system needs charged??

when you do that, is the green light flashing? If it is, the first thing to check is the R134A charge level.

Nah, it isn't flashing, it turns on for a second or two and I hear the compressor kick on and after a second or two, the light and the compressor goes back off. I checked the pressure at the low-side valve and it was showing almost 70 psi?!?!? Shouldn't it be closer to 25 or 30? I thought maybe I was checking the wrong place or something, but the guage only fits one way and it was the valve between the compressor and the condensor.
