thanks for the reminder, mets. i realize it is a different mindset and i am totally trying to take it on as an ethnographer would and just observe, smile, and nod; however, some days it's rough.

being a homebody i'm kinda looking forward to being holed up in me house.

ghost - i looked up dutch harbor on google maps. how cool is your longitude and latitude, dude? everyone thinks there town sucks btw

OK, now I have to look up Dutch Harbor as well!

Just look up the deadliest catch on the discovery channel, thats about the jist of it here.

but it looks cool on a map! you're like on the tail of alaska. how exotic. heh heh unalaska, alaska.

i've always wanted to head that way to glimpse aurora borealis. heard it sho is purty.

It is pretty, I've only seen it a few times here in Dutch because we are a bit south, but the last time I was up north I braved two hours of sub zero winter temps with my cousin to watch the best and biggest light show on earth.

sounds amazing. thinking of heading up to scandinavia to check it out but bf loathes the cold.

Ooooh, it is so fabulous. I saw it once in Montana: unbelievable. Bundle up and go! (You can always cuddle ; )

Hey hey. So today I got an email I've been anxiously awaiting...it went a little something like this:

MeowKat! I cant wait to see you on TV! I used to live in T-town (38th and East I street) about 10 years ago, man has it been that long?! What parts do you live around? They've got great walking along the sound and I love that park in the middle of town, forgot the name, with the arboritum.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
