round 8 of pics
Mood: a bit tired.

high points:

-I know have enough saved up for a pass for the market in Gaia (though it will wipe out my savings and i'll have to save up again.

-the weather today was much cooler, so today we went out for breakfast (that is, my mom, my brother, and me).


Onto pictures!



some of the waiters posing for my mom




Here we are in Juneau.




A bus. ;)




a metal statue...for an indian tribe.




the Red Dog Saloon.




'Tis me, out in the drizzling rain and bundled up in a sweater and ear muffs (kinda like a naruto headband).




My mom and I stopped by a little place that made chocolate and fudge. this is one of the workers cooling it down.




Cool huh? same place.

Round 7 of pictures
Mood: happy
Music I am listening to: Linkin Park, Points of Authority.

high points:
-Played lots on Gaia
-am about halfway through pictures (i never imagined i would have this many!)

Gripes of the day:
-character bashing

I have seen so much of this today it sickens me. Everyone has characters they don't like, but don't put down others just for their beliefs. Play nice, thats what our teachers taught us in kindergarten.

Take the advice in the movie Bambi: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

-the lack of basic grammar and spelling

It is an epidemic that has swept over the nation. I'm not sure if such people leave their good grammar at the door of the 'net or what, but it makes no sense. At the very least you could transform that sentence long paragraph into something readable.

*takes a deep breath*

ok...now I'm ready for pictures.


one of the buildings at the old movie set was rented out to a Brewery. They gave us 5 small glasses of beer(whee! it was a wonder i was able to stand at all afterwards after 2 glasses).

*ahem* so yeah...i kinda got tipsy...i hadn't regained my land legs either....




Same place.




me drinking...it was really grainy.



A growler of beer we got for a friend.




a welcome sign. duh.




As if my plight weren't enough, we went to Dejon Delights where we sampled some salmon and halibut (why they had this AFTER beer sampling is beyond me).

I went back to the ship after this. ;)


Tracy Arm, a fjord.




Tracy Arm again.


Response to last post: yes, I do like eagles...my mom took a lot of pics of them, since they just stayed there for the most part.

Round 6 of pictures
I have been indoctrinated into Gaia Online...its really a lot of fun! on the first day, i gained 2 friends.


onto pictures...


an eagle flying.



On our tour...it was breathtaking!


Little birds (so i think) on the water)



another picture of an eagle.



A little coffeeshop...with a footstool!!

This has a little story behind it. Ever seen the movie White Fang? If so, this is the set. after teh movie company was done, they planned on burning it, but the city didn't want it, so they moved them to their fairegrounds.




another pic of the set.




yet another one..cool huh?

Round 5 of pictures
Hello everyone!! how is your day?

Oh, remember SessLover18's contest I advertised? I'm in it...so vote for me if you wish XD


The tender (the ship that would take us from the ship to land)


Just before we left Sitka.



A shirt i picked up in sitka...it reads "i don't suffer from insanitg...i enjoy every minute of it"



In Haines!



Haines was originally a military town...this was the training ground.



An eagle perched on its tree..not too unlike Hiei (from Yu Yu Hakusho). they pick a tree and keep it as their 'home' for years.



Another picture of the same eagle..its clearer I hope.

I'm dissapointed that I only got 2 comments yesterday....

Oh, Lord Sesshomaru, thanks for the help re: avatars.

Before i post more pictures, I want to alert you all to SessLover's contest...look in my friends list for the site, as i have no idea how to link here....

On with the pictures (if you didn't have a chance to see the prior days pics, feel free to do so.)




A real cool sign in Sitka.




A real radio establishment, called Raven Radio. Cool eh? (its a tribal thing, the Raven tribe). Its not very clear, but as clear as i could get it.




A statue of a miner.





There is a picture of a really cool totempole in the backgrond




An old building right on the dock..you can see the wooden foundations holding it up.




3 of us sitting on a log by the dock. Real picturesque spot.




A shack of a house that fell apart awhile ago.



There seemed to be alot of churches at each stop. too bad we never went inside, i love the inside of churches.

Notice anything different?
Today I was quite busy!

1. Notice the new golden and navy blue theme? Thats in honor of my new interest, Chrono Crusade. Like it?

2. the new font color is purplish, yet readable. The subject heading is bigger too.

3. New avatar, curtesy of tuathafaerie.

Oh, and I was scanning pictures from manga and my Teen titans comics, so i'll be posting my amateur attempts among with cruise pictures. I'm proud of myself.

*breaths* okay...now that thats out of the way, I'll have a new round of pictures up tomorrow.

Oh, on your way out, be kind and offer me your opinion on the quasi new theme.

The formal eating hall




Reading out on the Lido deck. I believe it was Pretear vol 1 then.




More reading....




I think this was by the Palm Court a formal night or something..cool huh?




Us 3 (with the exception of my mom, who takes most of the pictures) out on a cloudy day.




getting ready for the first formal night with mom.




My bro getting ready.


In other news.....

I got some more manga (as if I need it), the first volume of Chrono Crusade. The beginning had me hooked! Now I get why Elvesatemyramen likes it so much. *sighs in bliss* Miraculously, i haven't finished it in one day, as I also bought a teen titans comic (with emphasis on Beast Boy).


Ah...I am very happy.
