"Everybody Loves Whales"

Well, some people love whales, and 'round here some people love whales - to eat. Either way, Hollywood is in town filming "Everybody Loves Whales" with the iconic Drew Barrymore, the iconic Ted Danson, and that guy from The Office who needs a haircut.



Every once in a while they commandeer the far corner of my work parking lot. They also brought along Hired Goons, seen in the foreground, to harass locals. "Can I help you sir?" "I don't think so, with what?" "They prefer you don't take pictures." OK, OK - no more pics of your precious rented RV's Universal Studios! Spoiler alert - apparently they wear white parkas at some point in the movie.

Granted, the "actual" events took place in Barrow, and they are using Anchorage instead, but at least they are finally filming a movie about Alaska in Alaska. Most of the movies about AK are filmed in British Columbia.

Missed Drew by about 10 mins at lunch the other day - that would've been cool - but not as cool as meeting Sam Malone.

I keep going back to the amazing photo of the Wrangell mountains. It makes me breathe differently just looking at it. Must make it easier to ignore rude men in white coats.
Holiday plans? We'll be looking back on your Running of the Reindeer photos :)
