Okay. Liiiiike it?! I lurve it. Credit goes to rosesnrubies. Lovely timing! I was hoping to have it by the 100-day mark, but it's cool, we're at 95 now.

Went to the mall today, didn't really buy anything (though I saw some silver heels that were NOT TALL so I might go back and grab them... I tend to jump on that style of heel when I can, because there aren't many chances). We were there so Myla could pick up job applications, and I convinced her not to spend any money. (She's a Daddy's girl, very spoiled. But I like her.) Ended up spending a small fortune at Barnes and Noble (is that any surprise?), but THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE FEBRUARY ISSUE OF EMPIRE. I understand it's a British magazine and that you get it late. But PLEASE! This is a bit ridiculous. I ended up buying a book of Hawaiian myths and a book about Atlantis, and I almost bought a book about codes and ciphers. That bookstore is going to prove to be very dangerous.

Last night I got Myla and Ashley to watch Raiders, and then this morning I watched Last Crusade. When we got back tonight Myla wanted to watch Temple of Doom, so we did. I love it! =D I am so psyched for the next one... blaaaaaw. I didn't realize I know quite so many of all the lines in the movies. Heh.

I have many things to do tomorrow. Perhaps order my NEW FEDORA (it will put a dent in my wallet I assure you) and send away my Phi Rho money (more money) and then send away for part of THE fedoras from the fourth film.

That's damn straight, the guy who got the contract for the hats saved all his trimmings from making them and is offering them to the members of a forum I'm a part of. (It's pretty awesome, he's a regular member there and everyone's practically like family. It's very atypical of the internet, really.)

95 days to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Today's trivia: Did you know Dan Aykroyd is in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? (I think I might have mentioned this recently while discussing Ghostbusters. Or, I meant to, and it's sitting on one of the stickies on my desktop. Which is another thing I need to do tomorrow...) He's the guy who's talking to Indy after the Club Obi Wan fight/escape, telling them he secured a plane. Hee. Dan Aykroyd is so awesome.

Hm, this reminds me of the game I played with Kondwani and Weebl in chemistry sophomore year, "six steps to Indiana Jones" (yeah, like the Kevin Bacon game). You would name something and I would connect it to Indiana Jones as simply as possible. It's really funny on some stuff, honestly. (Feel free to challenge me IF YOU DAAAAARE) ;D

[EDIT] Let me know if it suddenly switches back to my normal icon. I don't know what happened, but suddenly it switched without me doing anything. =^0.o^=

So, not only has reading about all that scientology stuff really been pissing me off, but today was not the best day.

The IJ4 trailer will premiere on Good Morning America. Good Morning America. WTF?! Originally I thought that "it will be on between eight and nine and then will be online" meant I could wait until four in the morning on Thursday and watch it online. But NOOOOO. I think I have to wait until 8-9 AM Pacific Time. ='( SCREW YOU GOOD MORNING AMERICA. However, this opens up Thursday evening for more studying for history tests and Friday for more going to see Spiderwick.

AND THEN! I am involved in an alcohol incident for our room and have to go make a statement. What happened? I was sitting in my room on the computer, not paying attention to anything, like I generally do. My roommate's friends brought in beer without her knowing anything and all of my roommates were in THE LIVING ROOM while I was in THE BEDROOM paying attention to FUCK NOTHING. Apparently these guys made no attempt to hide the beer and the RA saw them come in, so he promptly followed them down and marched in right as they had handed out the alcohol. So, my second roommate gets caught holding a bottle (CLOSED) and the roommate whose friends these are gets blamed for most of it even though SHE WASN'T DRINKING (neither were the guys who brought it) and NONE OF THEM WERE OPEN BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO OPEN THEM. And in the meantime of the RA telling them to open the bottles (with WHAT?!) and pour it down the drain, all he said was "hi" to me. That's all. "Hi." THAT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF. You can't just say "hi" and then send a letter "OH HEY by the way you're involved in an alcohol incident." Fuck them. And fuck the RA, too, who I'm pretty sure parties pretty hard in his room considering that every thirty seconds it sounds like they're dropping a bowling ball on the floor for fun. (I'm not even kidding--this goes on every 15-20 seconds or so, followed by hysterics, for MANY hours almost every night. And it's a heavy, percussive sound, too. ARRRRRGH.) I also MUST set up a meeting in the next three days. FUCK YOU GUYS! I don't have the time to have a meeting because I have a lot of tests and I'm damn busy. And if this even becomes a big deal and something goes to UD I'm going to be so pissed it's not even funny.

Also, who the hell bets eight times in a row--AGAINST THEMSELVES--on ebay?! These awesome boots were inching toward $20, and then suddenly whoever I was bidding against just went insane. My last bid was $16.50, and this is what she did (all within 20 minutes): $17.50, $18.50, $19.50, $21.00, $23.00, $30.00, $35.00, $40.00. Seriously?! This lady is fucking nuts. So now the boots are up to $51 fucking dollards because the next guy made a $10 leap and SHIPPING IS $9 WITH A $2 HANDLING FEE ON ITS OWN. FUUUUCK YOUUUU GUYYYYYS. And they don't even have enough information to let me know what brand it is or anything so I can look for it later. Arrrgh. It's just some kind of PERFECT LOOKING "hippie campus leather riding boot sz 9." 9 could be a bit big but THEY LOOK SOOOO PEEEERFEEECT.

Damnit humanity, sometimes I fucking hate your intelligence.

99 days until Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Today's trivia: The swordfight scene (possibly the most famous shot from Raiders of the Lost Ark in terms of comedy) was originally scripted as a complicated choreographed swordfight. However, most of the crew was sick with digestive problems, and Ford suggested the scene as it occurs in the film today to decrease the length of filming time required.

A very good change, in my opinion. =) I think humor is a pretty critical part of the series.

[EDIT] Hey, also, do you guys know any LJ people who take icon requests? I made a request to a few communities but it seems no one wants to take it on. =/ And I'd really like it soon so I can start using it for my IJ4 posts.

The closer it gets the more excited and the more nervous I get... It could be so awesome or Lucas could totally ruin it... *nervous faces*
