Home with the Family

My return to Alaska after being outside for about a year and half was unfortunately unaccompanied, as Alaska Airlines has no idea where my bag must have walked off to. Now this wouldn’t really be a problem accept for the fact that I donated all of the clothes that I had kept at home. Which, of course, wouldn’t really be a problem if I hadn’t slipped in the driveway and split my only pair of pants from seam to seam. So I’ve been spending the last couple of days swimming in a pair of my dad’s pants. Oh well, there was nothing major in the bag, just my clothes, so if I have to replace those it isn’t the end of the world.

So far, being back in the AK is fantastic; it’s great to see the fam, and somehow reassuring that not much has changed here. That’s excluding of course the sweet new HDTV and the obnoxious new puppy, but overall not much feels different. Kenai is actually pretty cute, just a total spaz. Tonight I’ll get to reacquaint myself with the part of home I miss the most: steak dinner!

Tomorrow morning, Mom and I and, I’m assuming, Kaitlin are going to go into Anchorage so she can do the last of her shopping and I can do the first of mine. I had no idea what I was getting people when I left South Bend, but an hour at Fred Meyer’s with Kaitlin took care of all of my ideas, so I think I’ll be good for Christmas.

I don’t have big plans for my time in Alaska, hopefully something will develop between now and when I get my wisdom teeth out (New Year’s Eve). Otherwise I’m more than happy kicking back with the family and reading the Physics of Superheroes, my Christmas gift from Jane. At some point I have to do some Loyal Daughters and Sons stuff and prepare for spring auditions but for now I’m straight lounging.

Go Irish, Beat Warriors!

Fall Videos

Here are some videos that I was in this fall. The first is a student film entitled Sink, and the second is an episode from On Campus, a student run TV show at ND:

Sorry for the short post, but I’m about to board my flight to Anchorage.

Holla!
