a classic "what I have been up to" blog post

2008-09-04T07:42:00.002-08:00

Hello, It has been quite a while since I wrote one of my classic what I've been up to posts but, here it is: Saturday I went to a fashion shoot which mainly involved me carrying model clothes and equipment around. It was actually quite a bit of fun believe it or not. Sunday I went shopping and got various stuff done. I went to Fairway and IKEA both places I like a lot. It is really nice to

politics from Myron

2008-08-30T19:18:00.005-08:00

This presidential race has gotten very interesting lately for me (as an Alaskan) because of Sarah Palin's sudden entrance into the race. Generally Alaska just votes Republican... always. Mainly because Democrats in the lower-48 always seem to meddle up here and don't really care about local politics in Alaska. This year it was very interesting because McCain got around 15% of the vote in

I want to go to Coney Island on Saturday

2008-08-21T06:34:00.004-08:00

I talked to this old lady on a bench and I've convinced myself with her help that I need to go to Coney Island for the day. (This Saturday). But I think I'll have a lot more fun if I go with someone to enjoy the fun so... I'm going to post an add on craigslist looking for a recruit! (I'll post the link to the craigslist ad here shortly). Maybe if things go well on Saturday August 23rd I will

finally a posting about my time in NYC (and to let people know I'm alive)

2008-08-19T07:34:00.004-08:00

I've had a tough time so far. I've had some fun and have done quite a few things though. Here is a list of differences I have found: Juneau: People smile and talk to you in the elevator NYC: People ignore you and keep straight Juneau: You always look at people and smile at them NYC: People ignore you even when you look at them Juneau: Garbage cans are all bear safe NYC: Garbage cans are NOT

Apartment hunting trip NYC July 7th - 11th

2008-07-12T23:00:00.001-08:00

Before I move to NYC I needed to get an apartment, so I went on an apartment hunting trip. Sarah didn't think it was a good idea for me to go by myself on the first trip by myself and I truly welcomed her company. I packed a bunch of luggage and then my Mom drove over to Sarah's place we picked her up and went on our way. Sarah is a much better traveller than I am, having I am sure spent more

Why are all of these scams?

2008-06-05T07:55:00.003-08:00

Soo.. I've been looking for a place in Manhattan and whenever I come across a good deal. It's a scam, and these people are pretty good at it too! Here is one site http://square4realty.com What is wrong with the site... well the following doesn't make it jive. The site says they have been in business since 1998 but the whois record only shows october 2007. A history at archive.org shows...

Moving to Manhattan

2008-05-29T07:53:00.002-08:00

Yep in the next 1?-2? months I will be living in Manhattan, I got what looks to be a fantastic job working with some really great people! I am EXTREMELY excited about this because it will be really fun adventure! I am going to enjoy Juneau as much as possible to do stuff before I leave but the clock is ticking down now! Also I dropped my phone into the ocean last weekend. And that was the

She could be right... Okay I'll be short then... I think I found my NEW favorite climb. "The First", it is a new one at the rockdump... I am looking forward to doing it tomorrow!!!

I think my Mom is fabulous!

2008-05-01T22:26:00.002-08:00

Yep, my Mom is great. I am pretty lucky that I got my Mom instead of someone elses! So here is something I'm getting my Mom because she is so cool! I bought her a cool aopen MiniPC MP965, you can take a look at a picture right here: http://minipc.aopen.com/Global/spec.htm. It's 3.2 pounds and it is 6.5" x 6.5" x 2". Now is that cute and small/tiny or what! And it is really quiet too!!! I'm

My birthday

2008-04-22T23:50:00.003-08:00

I'm posting this a couple of days late. I've been so hectic in the last week I haven't had time to do anything. Also the temperature has been fantastic lately and it is not conducive to blog writing. But here goes: the last few days before my birthday I've been to the Spring Formal, dance lessons, rock climbing, this and that. Lets just say.. I've been busy. So I'll write about my Birthday.

at anc airport plane delayed by two hours

2008-04-16T18:20:00.001-08:00

Once again I'm on my nokia n800 writing a blog. I stayed at the captain cook hotel in anchorage which is pretty good. After work on monday I went shopping buying three new shirts and three new ties along with dress socks and other necessities as I managed to leave everything in juneau. Have you ever known any girls who get stuck on shoes? I'm wondering if I might have the same deal with ties.

I am on a plane at 35000 feet using MaemoWord

2008-04-13T22:24:00.001-08:00

I'm writing my blog on my Nokia N800 on the plane and at the airport. Today my day involved going to church in the morning then stopping by costco. Where I bought some ice cream. probably not the best for me and it'll take awhile to eat it but still... I probably should cut out ice cream. I picked up a costco caesar salad for lunch and a hotdog for lunch. I spent a decent amount of the

Here is a blog Friday and Saturday

2008-04-12T23:30:00.004-08:00

So... I haven't been too good at blogging lately but here is what I did friday and today. Friday: I was exhausted when I got home, so I took a 10 minute nap and felt absolutely terrific! Then I went down to the lobby and waited till Amanda and Chris and Sarah walked by and we all walked down to El Sombrero. I had a good time at El Sombrero, we had Aubrey as our waitress (a DEC employee soon

really bad at blogging lately

2008-04-11T12:41:00.002-08:00

I've noticed that the more light I have the less time I do blogging. If you look through my past years of blogging you'll notice that not much happens during the summer events. It isn't because I'm not DOING anything it's more like I'm so busy that I get home late and I just don't blog about my day. I've noticed this is happening... yet AGAIN. We are getting more light during the day and I

And the drum beat of life beats on!

2008-04-01T22:50:00.004-08:00

Okay so here I am posting on a tuesday night. Now you can compare how my plan was on how things actually ended up. Saturday: 8:45am went up to the slopes with Brenda. The whole day was sunny and Brenda generously applied sunscreen to protect my white face. The weather was great, I ended up taking off a layer of clothing because it was warm. So we snowboarded for a while then I we went to

Snowsun and how plans don't always work out but that is okay

2008-03-28T23:08:00.003-08:00

I make plans. But sometimes fate just has a way of changing them.. you'll see my last plans from my last blog are completely messed up! No Torsten's Bonfire was not on friday... so because of that my plans were open... and open plans... well lets see what happens with open plans. So this is how things REALLY go down: Thursday: Get out of work a little later after some emergency happens,

Spring is in the air (even though it DID snow yesterday!)

2008-03-26T20:30:00.002-08:00

Hi Everyone... today was sunny!!! And everyone knows what that means.... HAPPY ME! Okay, the sun always makes a huge difference in the well being of everyone. So whats been going on? (this is a question by me for me!) Yesterday I went climbing for 2 1/2 hours or so, doing some routes with Gary then doing a lot of slack-lining. Yes the Rock Dump put up a slack-line! Tried to do some

I outsmarted a Chimichanga!!!!

2008-03-20T23:39:00.002-08:00

Everyone knows that I've been sabotaged by food before but... I have LEARNED to not be tricked by these tricky food items! I eat a lot of chimichanga's because when I like something once... it MUST be good twice! So when I was sick I ate a chimichanga and I put another one in the microwave... well I decided that I didn't like chimichanga's because I felt sick. So I never went to the microwave.

End of the weekend

2008-03-16T21:59:00.003-08:00

So Friday I went to a "Pre Patty's Day party" at Ashleigh's and Nicks. Bunch of people showed up; everyone was wearing green! Although I got a few complaints that the color wasn't really that "green". But nevertheless it seemed okay! Saturday was a party at Chris's hotel. The party was called a "Kristoffer Party". This was a lot of fun! Amanda posted an album on her facebook profile of

I'm getting better!

2008-03-13T22:17:00.004-08:00

Next blog will be longer and more interesting (I hope). After my fever lifted I was still sick... cough and I was still tired and didn't feel very good. Went climbing on Tuesday and Thursday last week but I didn't go to Dance lessons because I wasn't feeling too hot. Neither was Debbie. I went snowboarding on Saturday but I didn't do super great. But at least I made it up there. Tuesday I

Fever lifted

2008-03-03T19:41:00.002-09:00

My weekend of hell ended sometime ~3-4am monday morning when my fever appears to have lifted. I woke up completely exhausted but the fog from my brain was lifted. I didn't go to work today. Tomorrow I'll go to work and hopefully my cough will be less, talk about a weekend ruined! I'm not quite fixed completely yet but at least I know I have gotten over the worst stuff.

I feel terrible

2008-03-01T11:10:00.002-09:00

So lastnight I took my little brother from BBBS up to eaglecrest and I was feeling SOO badly. Whenever I stood around I just got exhausted. I ended up staying in the lodge and sleeping with a terrible headache and generally feeling miserable. When I was driving home it felt like I was in a fog, I made it home about 8:30 and just plopped down on my bed without undressing or anything and

Yet Another Blog (short update)

2008-02-29T15:16:00.003-09:00

The last few days have been pretty good. Tuesday I went out climbing with Matt and Torsten I got 4-5 climbs in. I did some 5.7's some 5.8's and a little bit of a 5.9. After climbing Torsten wanted to get one of those specials at Domino's so we stopped by there. I said why don't we eat it at my place and everyone seemed to think that was a good idea. Then Matt wanted to call Amanda, so he
