First few days in Anchorage

Weather in Anchorage on Thursday was beautiful! It was about 50 degrees,sunny, and there was no snow to be seen. I was able to go shopping at Costco and Fred Meyers, pack all my food into boxes and mail it. I was amazed that the food, the boxes, and shipping only cost me about $350. Not too bad at all. Of course I still have a few things to buy, but hopefully it won't put me over $500. I have no idea if it will yet. I'm crossing my fingers. I'm running out of $$ for this job... geeze! I suppose my problem is that I have no idea what I'm doing. I have no idea how to live in the bush of Alaska! It's going to be such a crazy adventure! :-)

Well, overnight the temperature dropped. By Friday morning it began to snow. A total of 17 inches of snow fell on the Anchorage Airport by Saturday morning. Welcome back to winter! The people here are not happy about it at all. I don't blame them, but it does look a bit beautiful in my opinion.



Friday evening was quite warm though when Amanda, her friend Melissa, Melissa's friend Brandon, and I went to Techno and Wine Tasting. It was awesome! Great music and wine! I was a bit tipsy by the end of the night. It was excellent to pass out at 11pm as a matter of fact.

Saturday was a hang-out day. Amanda and I have spent way too much time on our computers. We did however get out of the house for a little while to see a dancing show. It was interesting. My favorite was the hip-hop... and my least favorite was structured improvisation. I just didn't get it at all. I'd probably scratch my eyes out if I ever had to watch it again. I'm also not fond of modern dance. I don't understand how it's entertainment at all.

Oh yeah, on Friday I also visited the Alaska Public Lands and Information Center to see about a job come September, and I found this imprint of a Grizzly Bear's paw. Good times!!



I am very distracted now by Coupling (what an awesome British show!!), so I need to stop writing. My blog is now updated anyhow.

Signing off for now!
