Eskimo to the World

I am Trina Landlord and this is my blog. In a past life, Eskimo to the World documented my adventures in New York – where in minute everything can change. Much like my life changed when I moved from Alaska to the 'city that never sleeps'. From the biggest state in America to the most populous city in the United States. From the immaculate nature of the Chugach Mountains, Yukon River and Bering Sea to the urban tundra of sky scrapers, enclaves of business and cultural capitals and the nation's foremost trendsetters. From 'the great land' to arguably the 'greatest city on earth'. I made a 5,000 mile prodigious leap from Anchorage to New York City – AND BACK TO ALASKA. The determination of Yup’ik peoples to survive in harsh Arctic conditions had given me the foundation to survive on streets of New York, I will continue to chronicle the parallels of both worlds.

Ira Glass is da Bomb Today, I went to see Ira Glass, a public radio personality, and host and producer of the radio and television show This American Life, at the Alaska Performing Arts Center. Ira started working in public radio in 1978, when he was 19, as an intern at NPR’s headquarters in DC. He talked about the importance of narrative, among other things, like playing clips from the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, Hurricane Katrina, other stories and Fine Print. He had some great tips that can be applied to writing. He was HYS-terical.
