Happy third day of Chrismahannukwaanzadansticeule! (christmas+hannukkah+kwaanza+ramadan+solstice+yule, if you were curious) There is nothing like capitalism to brighten one's day... or something. =/
Regardless, I am still in a good mood. Went to the bookstore last night and picked up Anansi Boys, which I'm having trouble getting into because I'm not in a very Douglas-Adams/Neil-Gaiman mood. This makes me sad.
However, I am in a very Indiana Jones mood, for which I am happy! Though it puts increasing pressure on my wallet to fork out for a nice hat... *twitch*eheh... Anyway, the Indy legos which weren't due until January are hitting some Toys 'R' Us shelves, though I refuse to look there. Plus the legos are kind of crappy... I just want the Indy and Henry ones. =D (Marion looks like she has a freaking moustache.) They're all mostly specialized parts meaning there's not much room for reinventing them, and that makes me cry, as that is one of the best parts of legos! Augh.
In addition to Anansi Boys I got a Victorian lifestyle magazine as well as a "mysterious places of the world" calendar, filled with gorgeous photos for me to stare at. =^O.O^= <3 Sadly I must also go back to the bookstore to buy a book called The Medusa Stone which looked interesting and is also by an author of a book I previously enjoyed and had been looking for again called River of Ruin. If you like Indiana Jones I recommend it. =D Also to possibly pick up Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo (possibly) and a GORGEOUS $30 leather journal that would be perfect for keeping track of my code collection in.
I've been getting some interesting proposals lately... people both my dad and my grandpa know have offered to sort of show me around what they do in regards to architecture, which is pretty sweet. My dad's friend would be more likely, since it's in Louisville near Lynn's Paradise Cafe. But being sent to New York City to travel up to the uppers of a skyscraper to see a guy who works for I. M. Pei... that kind of boggles my mind. I don't know if I'll get to New York in the next few years, though.
So, DAMN! All this Indy stuff makes me happy inside. I am such a dork. =P There are great standees up in Madrid for the fourth movie, and I am so jealous: http://www.indianajones.es/comentarios.php?id=732 I need to sit down and translate that site. I also got a good jump on information regarding Kipu falls in Kauai (where part of Raiders was filmed) which makes me immensely happy. *glee* Apparently there's still prop styrofoam left there, too. Which is yay for collectors but bad for the environment. So yay for collectors picking it up? =D I think most of the big pieces have been taken though. =/ I'm just surprised that going on 30 years later no one's picked it up (other than indyfans), but then again styrofoam does not break down barely at all. So... I am *glee*ing all over the place about going to Kauai over spring break, and also the Paramount peak is very easy to find so I will add yet another *glee* to my pile.
So, does anybody particularly like Dr. Pepper? Can't remember if I posted about this, but they've got some of the Indy IV advertising rights. ='( I hate the stuff. If I buy it will you drink it and give me all the packaging? Sad, I know. (Why not Mountain Dew? Paramount logo, anybody? I know, I know, Dr. ____.)
Aaaaaand time for your twelve days part of the post!
On the third day of Christmas, the LJ gave to me--Straight No Chaser singing,
God Rest Ye lights a-blinking,
and a "happy holidays" so merry.
(I know. I changed it. I was singing the wrong melody in my head yesterday, and also I'm too lazy to go find the post to see what I put specifically.)
