1. Got an Internship with the Public Defender's office in Naples, FL this summer. I drive down tomorrow and start on Tuesday!
2. Veronica got a job doing just what she wanted to do, as Mediation Coordinator at a non-profit called Deep River Mediation!
3. Had a kickass time playing in a by-the-seat-of-his-pants one shot Aberrant game run by JJ last week. It was me, Annie, Veronica, and Veronica's volunteer supervisor Dishon playing, and among other things that were fun about it Annie was playing... well imagine a female Superman, with a unibrow and an IQ in the single digits.
4. Watched the midnight showing of Indiana Jones last night and I have to say I enjoyed it quite a bit. I don't want to spoil it but I do want to say that this is not exactly the same as the earlier movies. Oh the shooting and the feel and the music all are, but while the first three movies were very solidly 1930s pulp exploration adventure (with some fantastic elements) inspired, this movie is mostly 1950s science fiction adventure inspired with some pulp exploration adventure overlap.
It's moving into a new era of popular fiction in the Indy timeline, and the movie reflects that.
