I didn’t see a polar bear. And I didn’t see the northern lights. Actually, that’s not true: on Alaska Airlines flight 52 from Barrow to Fairbanks I saw a thin band of glowing light out the window somewhere around Anaktuvak Pass that I think were the northern lights, albeit in a muted form. I am back in Seattle now. It is warm. I can go outside and pee on things and my wiener will not fall off. Praise Jesus.
Some photos from my last day in Barrow:
Home away from home, sweet home.
View from in front of the Airport Inn facing south.
Air conditioning.
Hypothermia ain’t shit when you got myrrh.
You know when you go to go down the slide and you realize your ass cheeks are literally frozen together? Special feeling.
Chukchi Sea. Miles and miles of desolate wasteland.
A few minutes with the ice scraper and she should be good to drive.
Frozen Chukchi bluffs.

It pays to have talented friends. Greg Miller is an extremely talented photographer. He takes pictures of goats licking up pee and warms up his battery using his belly so he can take 30-minute exposures of the stars in the Enchantments near Leavenworth. That’s called dedication. I had never had the honor of getting my portrait taken by Greg until a week ago — the very last night he had his studio in downtown Seattle. The whole thing was so easy. I stood for about two seconds on a piece of white paper while Greg snapped photos for what seemed like 1.5 seconds. A few days later he sent me the results, and I was stoked out of my mind.
Thanks Greg — shit’s sick! Check out more of Greg’s photos at frostlinephotography.com

Just so everyone knows, Chipotle on the Ave will be closed this Easter Sunday. I repeat: CHIPOTLE ON THE AVE WILL BE CLOSED THIS EASTER SUNDAY. If you’re like me and were planning on leaving your family brunch a little early to squeeze in a quick chick burr before Masters coverage then you’ll just have to postpone those plans till Monday. Hope everyone has a good weekend regardless.

REBLOG ALERT! We’re getting hecka unoriginal around here, but it doesn’t matter: Lady Sovereign’s voice must be heard. Usually when people sample a song I love I hate them for it, but I love Lady Sovereign for sampling “Close to Me” by The Cure.
Party.
