what a maroon…
i just ordered a SAD light… which i am so unbelievably excited about since i’m already going nuts… and realized i paid last month’s credit card bill with the old bank account i forgot to close, causing an overdraft. i don’t remember seeing “sheer idiocy” on the list of symptoms… but check it out, it’s pretty badass & has negative ion therapy, too!

actually…
now it’s snowing! my fear of living under constant, secret influx of petrochemicals has been corrected. talk about instant gratification!
snow fairy?
so this is the second morning in a row, third morning total, that i’ve woken up to snow. however, i have yet to see it come down… i’m beginning to wonder if the snow fairy is crapping on us silently in the night, or if we’re just under the crop-dusting flightpath?
we’re down to like 9 hours of sunlight a day.. which sounds pretty normal- but trust me, it isn’t!!!!! i need a sunlight machine and a tanning bed, stat!

ketchup!
well since i’m clearly never going to have the time to write in detail about alaska and all the beautiful, fun, and (obviously) time-consuming things i’ve been doing and seeing, i’ll list a wrap-up ;)
during the slice of summer i had here, i hiked little o’malley:
went to whittier, explored the abandoned hospital and was chased by the cops:
found potter’s marsh:
went to the museum:
saw two moose:
{no photo available}
saw beluga whales:
{not an actual whale}
fell down, hit head, bruised bones, made friends at local er:
{thankfully, no photo available}
painted a spiderman:
additionally, the trailer for the moonlit road was finished! i’ll post that separately.
i went back to l.a. in the beginning of september to work on my sweetheart’s film (i’ll post separately about that too)…
and i swear to god it was summer when i left– though i needed my coat! i got back and there was termination dust on the mountains and a bitter effin chill in the air!
i woke up to a snowy ground the other morning:
bijou stopping dead in his tracks to figure out what’s on the ground
and this morning it was 18 degrees. my ass (literally) has been cold for about three weeks, i find it perfectly acceptable to wear uggs 24/7, and i’ve taken to slathering my wind-bitten nostrils with vaseline four times a day!!! it’s gonna be a long winter!
school is absolutely insane!! i was trying to be a superhero and take five classes… what a moron. never again! if i make it through this semester alive, it will be a miracle! working 3 or so days a week was also a mistake!!
i saw the northern lights!!!! from my backyard, through heavy fog… but still!!!!!!!!!!!! i almost shit myself!
fabien got into the anchorage film festival- YAY!! so he’ll be here for that, and emma and dan may come as well!! there will be a mob of alaskans and angelenos at the giant ice wall!
okay, more later… but now i must go plug in my jeep. how do i know if the heater’s on?
p.s. sign of acclimation: mom and dad are getting me auto-start for christmas… and it may just be the best christmas ever!!!!!
