The Daily Adventures of Mercat

BREAKING FUCKING NEWS

ADVENTURE IS OPEN AGAIN

GUYS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THIS

THIS IS THE REASON I EVEN KNOW INDIANA JONES EXISTS

THIS IS THE REASON I WANT TO WORK FOR DISNEY OR THE COMPANY THAT DESIGNED ADVENTURE, ROTO STUDIO

I KIND OF CONSIDER IT THE DEFINING MOMENT OF ME BEGINNING TO FLUSH OUT MY OWN INTERESTS, THAT IS, THE FIRST THING OUTSIDE OF WHAT I GREW UP BEING FAMILIAR WITH (READING, CATS, BICYCLING, ETC.) THAT MADE ME THINK "A-HA! THIS HAS TRULY BLOWN MY MIND"

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT CHECK OUT THESE PHOTOS FROM ROTO STUDIO (MUCH BETTER QUALITY THAN THE ONES I'VE EVER TAKEN):



PARDON THE HORRIBLE GIF COMPRESSION BUT DOESN'T THAT LOOK LIKE AN INDIANA JONES ADVENTURE? YOU'RE DAMN STRAIGHT IT DOES. CODES, TALKING IDOLS, THIS SHIT IS MY LIFE

I'M KIND OF NOT KIDDING

ANYWAY, YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED TOO. AAAAND WE SHOULD GO. SO I CAN FINISH CRACKING CODES AND BREAK THE SECOND LEVEL. HELL YEAH

Info from the article:

"Adventure: In the Valley of the Unknown
Embark on a quest for knowledge chasing clues, solving puzzles, and conquering mazes in order to crack an ancient code, open the Observatory, and obtain the legendary Treasure of Knowledge. This mysterious 10,000 square foot exhibition will be open at COSI from October 2, 2010 - September 5, 2011."

Ohhhhhhh gooooooooooood I am bouncing off the walls. Not very literally, just, AUGH my stomach is doing backflips.

I was nervous and now I'm excited and just omg omg omg. I have sooooooo much pent up energy and I don't know what to do with it! I hope I have a good, animated, cheering audience TOMORROW NIGHT because I don't think I'll be able to keep quiet.

Seriously I feel like I should be peeing my pants in excitement any moment now.

and yes I have of course already encountered the obvious "giddy as a schoolgirl" reference, lol

I'm forcing myself to run errands tomorrow to keep myself busy. I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight!

...Plus I have to find the bug candy I got. (The Dollar Tree is awesome: they had/have big black plastic beetles with green candy guts. I'm sure you can guess what I'm going to do with them.)


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NERVES omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg

Much love to astrid087 for doing all the cropping and editing because Paint sucks! <3

OMFG SEVEN DAYS THAT IS ONE WEEK PEOPLE

Aaaaand since I couldn't dress up for hat pics today, I made you all this still life:

Lots of exciting detail discussion posted over there. E];D Enjoy!

HOLY SHIT GUYS I'm going to have a heart attack when I see IJ4. Even though I saw the trailer like twenty times yesterday and was super excited and hyper all day and everything.

And then I finally convinced my roommates to go see a movie tonight, and I figured if we were late for Spiderwick it would be okay because I could go out and see it tomorrow because I would know where the theatre was then. But best of news! Over on i_jones I found out a guy from Madison who saw it with Jumper and said that it came out with Spiderwick, Jumper, and Definitely, Maybe in Madison. Awesome because my roommates wanted to see Definitely, Maybe! =D We ended up seeing Jumper and let me tell you, this is my new favorite mall. THEY HAVE A TACO BELL AND A BARNES AND NOBLE. I could actually live in that mall.

So I was hoping I'd be excited even though I pretty much knew the trailer by memory, but OH MY GOD. I DID NOT EXPECT MY STOMACH TO LEAP INTO MY THROAT AND IT WAS AWESOME. There's no way I'm going to survive seeing the movie. Blaaaaw !!!! =D =^n.n^= I... really... find it hard to express how happy that made me. Blaw is my new feeling for it; like riding amusement park rides. Adrenaline and your heart in your throat but you're not sick you're excited. Like riding Drop Zone and Tomb Raider and Face Off and everything. BLAWWWW!

It was also the most comfortable theatre I've ever been in. Not too hot, not too cold, woohoo! Even the two huge groups of chatty teenagers who walked in at the beginning weren't making noise. And Jumper wasn't bad either, Hayden Christenson has learned a couple new emotions since Star Wars (I'm sure NOT having Lucas helped fo' shizzle).

ANYWHOZLE!

96 days until Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Today's trivia: Lucas has wanted to make the fourth Indiana Jones about the crystal skulls for a long time. When he brought the Disneyland ride (Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye) to Tokyo, he changed it to make it mesoamerican because he like the crystal skull idea and it would be more adventurous and mysterious to the Japanese. (I believe both Disneyland and Disneyland Paris are of "Indian" origin.)

If you haven't seen the trailer yet, you can find it in HD on Yahoo Movies. DO IT

Hm. I really can't decide whether I want to call it IJ4 (like I have for years) or KotCS? I think I like IJ4 better. =)

Hmm, I promised you a countdown, now, didn't I? =D I love making up "events" for my LJ.


INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL COMES OUT IN ONE HUNDRED DAYS PRECISELY

One hundred days to go, today's trivia: Did you know that foam used for the original set for the scene at the beginning of Raiders can still be found at Kipu Falls on the island of Kauai in the state of Hawaii? (You know the falls, it's the in the background the first time you see Indy in Raiders.) And yes, we're going there over spring break, and yes, I'm going to do my damndest to get some of it.

=D

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW EXCITED I AM RIGHT NOW


[fakeEDIT] Hee, I think that's big enough, now that I've successfully f'd up your friendslist =^n.n^=

One hundred days' love from the mercat~
