Summer Bummer

Posted by Exer on Thursday, July 1st, 2010

We’ve been having rain, rain and more rain the past couple weeks. Looks like it may be a typical wet Alaskan summer. Not that I should be all that bothered by it, since I’m not actually working outdoors at the moment. What do I really have to complain about, mowing the grass too often? I [...]

Distant

Alaska isn’t always a winter wonderland, covered in feet of snow. We are a green, green state, for a few amazing months of summer.

Puppy Tales

Posted by Exer on Thursday, June 10th, 2010

OK, well he isn’t exactly a puppy anymore, but that doesn’t stop me from calling him “pup” every now and again. Whenever my mom stops by to visit she calls him “grandpa”, but that’s just because she is evil and likes to pick on helpless animals. Yup. Anyway, here is my PUP out enjoying the [...]

Don’t Bug Me

Posted by Exer on Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

This little lady decided to land on my brothers hand while we worked on his car in the driveway. She wasn’t in any hurry to fly away, so we grabbed a camera and decided to try out the macro lens.

If You Musk

Posted by Exer on Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Every day is a lazy day for a muskox at the Alaska Zoo. It must be a lonely life. I went with my cousin, who kept saying things like “They want to be free!” every time we would reach a new exhibit. It annoyed me at the time, but looking back on the photos I [...]

8 Days

Monday, January 4th, 2010 - Blog

Only 8 days left until the big layoff at work. Sad days indeed my friends. It took me a couple years to learn how to avoid the crazy people at my current job, now I have to figure out who the crazy people are at a whole new company! That isn’t as easy as it [...]

Wacky Christmas

Sunday, December 27th, 2009 - Blog

So this Christmas my Uncle had somehow got the mistaken impression that everyone was simply giving out money and gift cards. I think it might have had something to do with my brother asking just for money. Whatever the case, his thought was wrong, we were indeed giving out gifts this year. I think he [...]

Clash Of The Titans

Saturday, December 19th, 2009 - Entertainment, Movies

Yeah I want to see this one.  I watched Terminator Salvation the other week and you could just tell that Sam Worthington guy was going to be the next “new” action star (even though a quick look at IMDB shows that he has been acting in movies and TV for the past 10 years).  Sure [...]

White Christmas Anyone?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 - Alaska

Well if you are one of those people who dream of a white Christmas, it seems you should live in Alaska.  According to the National Climatic Data Center, based on collected data from 1988 to 2005, Fairbanks, Alaska has a 100% possibility of seeing snow on Christmas day.  Anchorage (where I live) is pegged at [...]

What Time Is It?

Monday, October 19th, 2009 - Blog

So I stopped into Burger King today wanting some onion rings, one of only two things I eat at that place.  The young girl at the counter looked at me a little odd (like they always do) when I told her all I wanted was the rings.  Probably the same look they give the people [...]

World of What?

Sunday, October 18th, 2009 - Games

Overheard a conversation while standing in line at a store, it went a little something like this: Woman:  “So your daughter still play that World of World, and not socialize with any real people?” Man:  “Yeah.  I tried getting her to go out, do some things.  Meet some people.  She don’t listen to me though.” [...]

RIP Grandpa

Friday, October 2nd, 2009 - Blog

Wednesday night my Grandfather died.  I didn’t know him well, we had only met 3 times my entire life, but his passing still hits hard in the fact that he was my last living grand parent.  The circumstances of his passing, and the decision and/or timing of the decision to take him off life support [...]

Witnessing A Crime

Monday, September 21st, 2009 - Blog

Just had a cop in my house.  My brother made the mistake of running his mouth about that shooting, and the fact he had photos of the scene.  His second mistake was the fact he did this at school, while in class.  His teacher overheard and called the cops.  They pulled my brother out of [...]

May I Have A Sip Of Your Salt Lick?

Saturday, September 5th, 2009 - Blog

Eating healthy can be a dangerous thing, especially when you just assume that what you are having is a healthy item.  I don’t mind admitting that I’m a soda junkie, Mountain Dew especially.  I have a few of them a week, probably my biggest vice (aside from pizza, but that is for another day).  So [...]
