Damn, time flies really fast when you're distracted.

Also; DAMMIT, RE: Thirsty. I AM DRINKING LIQUIDS LIKE A MADWOMAN
WTF WHY AM I SO THIRSTY
I AM GETTING PLENTY OF SLEEP
DAMNIT I BETTER NOT BE GETTING SICK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

Btw, poor Leigh! She punctured/ruptured her ear drum and has been out on vicodin all week. Had hearing loss and severe pain, so hopefully it's a wound that will start to heal by this week. What misery for her =(

35 days! woohoo! So... Kate Capshaw used to be a Scientologist, huh? this explains so much

In real news, my Indiana Jones spoon is fucking rad.

Okay, in REAL real news, a while back when I was hunting for evidence (but not spoilers! The kind of stuff I mean is like the fact that their store and the spoon I got has ants on it. HMM, I WONDER WHY), I noticed that at the top of the frame on the official webpage there is a really weird looking head with three layers. (Ogres? I think I'm tired) Because the MacGuffin (supposedly, and also I hate that term) is a skull, I was like, hey, I wonder if that is going to have to do anything with the plot? (I am insane on details like that sometimes. Too many years of reading Hardy Boys novels)

Well, I don't know, it still might, but I doubt it, because the images are blatantly ripped right from this site and also if it were highly relevant to the skull I don't think they'd put it so centrally on the website. Or would they?! (Kind of anticlimactic, though.)

HOWEVER. Since I no longer support the theory that it's part of the plot, AND that the images appear to be 100% copypasta'd from that eMuseum website, I'm thinking some ethically questionable webdesigner might have taken those images figuring no one would notice or whatever. (Sadly, as evidenced in my engineering ethics class, there are too many people who don't give a damn about professional ethics.) I mean, I'm not saying they did, but with the way that LFL's lawyers hammer down on the slightest slightest thing (and I can back that up, but I'm not going to tell the story here), it just makes me think it would be such delicious irony.

Or maybe I should submit it to www.youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com? I don't want to be the one getting out bad press on Indy, though (and if it turned out they did have permission, then making myself look like a fool).

ANYWAY. Thoughts?!
