Movies: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Books: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Travel: Anchorage, Fairbanks, Wasilla, Eagle River, Delta Junction, Paxson, etc

The trip was a good time - way too short, though, especially in Fairbanks. It was awesome to get to have a weekend at home before returning to work, so it's a give and take, but it would have been nice to have a little bit more time there. It was awesome to see my sister, and awesome to have the free time to read Harry Potter!

Hahaha!

My dear friend Dave Gilmartin's book has been picked up by the press in my home town and they quoted my passage in the book! I am getting all sorts of irate emails from old friends, it's pretty funny.

I IM'd the author of the article (he's an old family friend, though I've never met him), and he e-mailed me back. It's pretty awesome. Like I love how he doesn't even refute the charge of Fairbanks being a miserable place to live, and I love what he says to stick up for it in his email to me:
