Apr. 6th, 2008 02:58 pmSo, I feel kind of bad I haven't been updating on schedule like I promised, but after that huge Indyspam I kind of ran out of things to show for a bit, and I haven't been in the mood to dredge up trivia.
BUT! I am trying to get myself back on schedule, and I STILL need to post my vacation photos to flickr! And I come bearing good things:
I found another good webcomic! w00t w00t! I think the best description of it would be a mashup between Cyanide and Happiness and xkcd: http://warehouse.carlh.com/comic/
45 days until Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! I'm SOOOOOO EXCIIITEEEED. (I'm also fearful of how much money I'm going to be dropping on this hobby over the year. Good for the economy, bad for my bank account.) Anyway, I think you should check out this totally awesome background info from the guy who did a few banners for The Raider. And if that's not enough, here's some more awesome.
I'm not sure how I feel about an Indy cartoon. First of all I am like 90% opposed to fanfic as it stands, and I am afraid that the cartoon would come off the wrong way, with people changing the character a bit too much to be what they wanted to be, or misinterpreting it. =/ On the other hand, it could be totally bitchin'. I think that the main reason I'm afraid it would sort of pervert the fandom is 1) look what happened to Star Wars and 2) would Lucas AND Spielberg AND Ford be involved? Probably not, and they're pretty much key to the character, in my opinion. (Then again, after Indy 4, there's a good chance I'll come out ranting and raving about how much George Lucas ruins everything he touches. Good 50/50 chance on that one. I'm either going to love it, or I'm going to loveit-hateit.)
I keep having this fanfic discussion with people on different subjects, and it just reminded me of the ONE attempt I had at it, when I was first kind of discovering what the internet was and how much it was a fandom tool (and what fandom was). I think I've posted about this before, but it made me really happy thinking about it last night. I only had about a chapter but Marion had come back and Indy was going to the South American pyramids... hehehe.
In other news, who's ready to panic about the economy?! WOOO! I suck at following news and politics and everything like that, but the fact that we talk about it almost every history class, and I've been seeing so many people in debt for so long (just... our modern culture in general), and the fact that SKYBUS CLOSED THE OTHER DAY, RIGHT AFTER ALOHA AIRLINES AND ATA!!!PANIC!!! yes. I think I am nervous because I don't know what all that means. I mean we're not going to have a Great Depression, are we, just perhaps people being more considerate (god forbid) of their actions? THAT WOULD BE NICE.
In the meantime anyone hear about that plant they found that makes diesel? I mean yay for convenience but boo on green revolution. =(
