^If you get it, well, that's why I've been a terrible procrastinator lately.
Honestly I have lots of stuff to post about last week and adventures and whatnot, buuuut today was weird. Well, fuck it, these past few days have been weird. Completely intangible emotional rollercoaster and today I'm veeeeery tired. But I got a lot of good stuff done; picked out my classes (thank god it mostly all fell together with little effort... now I just have to be awake at 2 am Thursday to register), got Phi Rho stuff done (fees, planning, whatnot), got the phone numbers to call (TOMORROW YOU FUCKING PROCRASTINATOR) about the PEP presentations, looked at plane tickets to Maui (which are much more accessible than I thought they'd be--probably because Aloha airlines went down the tubes as of today?!), all sorts of responsible things for two hours.
Yeeeeah, and since then I've been dicking around on the internet, just like I did ALL weekend. (Literally.)
However I'm going to save the emotional crap for a friendslocked post and also for tomorrow. Instead here's my 51 (!!!!) day backlog:
The new Indiana Jones shop is up! And it's tempting my wallet some more, with shinies such as this and this. Curse you market! I am a saver. This year will drop so much cash from my wallet... D=
I figured this out awhile ago, but if you "become a fan" of IJ4 on facebook you can whip people with superpoke. Until the time in which this disappears, it will take the place of me fishslapping everyone in celebration of major holidays. (No, I'm not strange at all.)
ANOTHER ISSUE OF EMPIRE Augh, seriously. 1) They are expensive 2) They are late coming overseas and 3) You're never sure if you can get a hold of a copy. Grrr.
George Lucas talks Indiana Jones, it's pretty much what he said in teh Vanity Fair article.
SOME FRICKIN' AWESOME NEW PHOTOS
aaaaaand 5 seconds of new footage (w00t)
Harrison Ford interviewed in National Geographic. You know, I am not only glad that he's not an asshat but also a pretty cool guy in general. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page it looks like it's not specifically Ntl. Geo. but Ntl. Geo.: Adventure magazine? It's a good interview, though personally I was surprised he said he'd never flown to Alaska. Like, never been there, or, never flown there piloting the plane? Second seems more likely, because, there are just so many pilots and open spaces in Alaska it seems like a place you'd go pretty early on. But that could also just be because I've been there and totally ignoring the fact that most people don't go to Alaska for family vacations. Or am I wrong? Has anyone else out there been to Alaska?
Some more sketch cards and more sketch cards. I think I might have all these favorited on my DA account. There's tons of 'em over there. I just really want to get my hands on one more than anything =(
Discussion of some of the Indy books coming out
Some comic I've never heard of has been running an Indy parody for a few weeks. That's the first one.
So that, like, exhausted all my Indy links for awhile, lol.
Aw, shit, guys, somebody stole my idea: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23851011/
Cops bust teens' root-beer kegger: Dozens of high schoolers forced to take breath tests
(AP) March 28, 2008
WAUSAU, Wis. - Cars lining the street. A house full of young people. A keg and drinking games inside. Police thought they had an underage boozing party on their hands.
But though they made dozens of teens take breath tests, none tested positive for alcohol. That's because the keg contained root beer.
The party was held by a high school student who wanted to show that teens don't always drink alcohol at their parties. It has gained fame on YouTube.com.
Dustin Zebro, 18, said he staged the party after friends at D.C. Everest High School got suspended from sports because of pictures showing them drinking from red cups.
The root-beer kegger was "to kind of make fun of the school," he said. "They assumed there was beer in the cups. We just wanted to have some root beer in red cups and just make it look like a party, but there actually wasn't any alcohol."
Zebro purchased a quarter-barrel of 1919 Classic American Draft Root Beer, and by 10 p.m. Saturday, the scene outside his rural Wausau home had all the makings of a teen drinking party — cars, noise and kids.
Kronenwetter Police Chief Daniel Joling said an officer was dispatched to the home March 1 on a complaint of cars blocking the road.
Juveniles began coming out of the house after the officer used his squad car's loudspeaker to warn that cars would soon be towed, Officer Jason Rasmussen wrote in his report.
Nearly 90 breath tests were done, and officers even searched locked rooms for hiding teens.
"It was a tremendous waste of time and manpower, but we still had a job to do, and our officers did it," Joling said. "If one kid had come there, even hadn't drank there, but had come there and had been drinking and had left and crashed and burned, then what would the sentiment be? Why didn't the police check everybody out?"
School Superintendent Kris Gilmore did not immediately return a message Friday.
Side note: The Fall got rescheduled for a May release? Anyone else hear anything? DO WANT (to see)
[EDIT] Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat. Again? Presto! Let's see how many times I can edit this for errors because I'm half asleep.
