theses are the pictures i just submitted to this year's national wildlife federation magazine photo contest. i took them all in alaska. i don't have the highest hopes of winning but i figured i had some really nice shots again this year so why not try. we finally have our own internet so it's nice not having to constantly connect and lose what i was working on. my webshots album is still giving me problems though. it wouldn't let me look at all the ones i ended up reuploading. and now i still can't see half of those. and it won't let me rearrange them so they're in the correct order. grrr. i hope to eventually have those problems worked out so i can move onto the next segment of my trip. there's so many more pictures i have to put up. as you can see from the collage. then there's the story i want to eventually get to work on. i found a great green travel book i want to get. it gives tips on how to travel environmentally friendly. that's what i want my article to say with specifics on how to do it in alaska and the great sights i saw on my trip. it's just been a busy summer so far. haven't had a chance to look for another job lately either but got some good news at the bbuster. our district manager left and we got the one gareth had at his store. any district manager's job is to get on us about sales and whatnot but at least she's not a complete jerk about it like our last one was. so that makes me happy for now. gareth and i had a good day off together yesterday. we went to maymont and walked around the whole park. it was a sunny but not too hot day and it was pretty packed but still fun. afterwards we went by my store and picked up the watchmen. then we ordered a pizza and went to pick it up. and when we got there i managed to leave the keys in the car with it on and lock us out. wow. i'd never done all that before. it took aaa over an hour to come and let us back in. just an inconvenience though. nothing horrible happened and we got back to our place a little later and enjoyed the pizza and movie. we have another day off together tomorrow. then he leaves for five days to go to north carolina for a music festival. i'll miss him like he missed me when i was gone but i'm sure he'll be having a good time away like i was this time : ]
