up…date…
so i’m blog-lazy… but have been busy with other stuff!
got a car and started driving all over the place to check out the town! then i got a waitressing job… should’ve waited another week– i was hired and started the next morning!
then i cut off my fingernail and all skin underneath it in a freak watermelon-cutting accident. so basically, things are back to normal! lol!
eventually i’ll post more photos, but the finger thing makes typing difficult. and that, my friends, is a good excuse!! ;)

look out, anchorage!!
i’ve arrived! it’s beautiful!!
leaving lax, though… first, they said my carry-on was too big (the same carry-on i’ve been carrying on for the past 7 years without incident). then bijou escaped from his carrier and took off into the airport. thankfully, i’d doubled his dose of doggie valium, so he was pretty easy to catch ;)
then the airline bitches made me buy a new carrier for him!! they said he has to stand up and turn around. seriously. the dog is heavily sedated and sleeping!!! come on!! additionally, the carrier they made me buy was barely 3 inches longer than the other one. that’s right- longer, not taller.
they had to hold the plane for an hour because of this. i’ve never felt like more of an ass! though, as i trudged my way back to row 45 (yes, the LAST row!), everyone who’d seen the bijou/airline bitches exchange offered their condolences. i was worried i’d be mobbed!!
the flight over was good- they played the last mimzy, which i didn’t get the headphones for, but looked pretty awful even without sound.
since we flew due north and left around 8:30 pm, it appeared as if the sun was setting for 4.5 hours!
it got dark for a little while, but just before we got to anchorage, it looked like morning… at midnight! there was a heavy cloud cover, so that’s all i could photograph as we came in!
there’s been a lot of rain! but last night, i was waiting for my roommate to pick me up from the grocery store and was treated to this at 9 pm:
and just cos it’s cute, here’s bijou looking out our front door!
today, we’re going for a hike! yay!
