Mom's going to Anchorage next week for work..I can't go cause I have to work. Aw mannn haha. And she's flying during the day so she may see Mt. McKinley and stuff (yeah I know I've flown up there twice but still :P). When mom's gone Jackie's gonna eat dinner with me and take me/pick me up from work

Jamie came to work today! He was working on something and we talked for a bit. Only in Alaska do cartoonists come to my work and hang out with me haha (he came last year for the work anniversary big sale too). Here's some of his work: http://www.newsminer.com/photos/galleries/freeze-frame/ and http://www.newsminer.com/photos/galleries/nuggets/

( and a survey )

Galloping glacier: Most glaciers move at speeds that make snails look like sports cars. But glaciers sometimes gallop, or surge. The fastest was clocked at 1,000 feet a day (Uhh apparently not..the record for the fastest glacial surge goes to the Kutiah Glacier in Pakistan. In 1953, it raced more than 7 1/2 miles in three months, averaging about 367 feet per day). Oooh and some of Jamie's work is in this book! I told him and he was like "that was awhile ago" haha

Movies watched this week: LOTR: Return of the King

OMG last night after skiing mom and I went into this building and this guy came up to me and was like "I swear I've seen you before" and then he realized we were on the tour boat in Valdez!! His sister was there too! I met them getting boarding passes the day before the tour and they said they were from Fairbanks. They're reaaally nice and I hung out with the sister (I don't know her name! Oops) a bit on the boat. I was wondering if I'd ever see her again or meet her randomly in town and I did!! Haha we exchanged email addresses this time. Haha wowww

Work is having a party today cause it's their 30th something anniversary (we're having cake at 2 :D). Yesterday we guessed how many people would sign the guestbook and people earlier were like "OMG SIGN THE GUESTBOOK!!" haha. Also guess who is here?? I have these books from a cartoonist named Jamie (I looked at his books when I first moved here..one cartoon is a guy pointing a hairdryer at a glacier and the caption says something like "he sped up global warming by personally receding a glacier" haha). He lives in the area I do (Goldstream) and I kept looking at houses wondering which was his. Well JAMIE IS HERE!! Earlier someone said a cartoonist was here and I went to look at his work and I was like "OMG I recognize this!" I talked to him and he shook my hand :D He has a nice voice too hehe

Yesterday I was pricing books and I found a 1911 version of Phantom of the Opera!! It was signed by the previous owner in the 1920s or something in REAL ink (like quill and ink ink)! I totally bought that haha

Today's stupidest quote: I'm sounding worse than Jessica Simpson right now. She's looking like a rock scientist (actress Tara Reid)
