Eriq’s Blag

The new Indiana Jones with an unbelievabley long title came out today; I wore my hat and whip to celebrate. Lots of people were busy today (damn them and their schedules), but I got Alex and Harlan to go with me. Ignore all those bad reviews you’ve read. The new Indy movie is pretty kick-ass. I’d say the writing it better than that of the first 3 even though the plot is much, much stranger. Although, I’m ashamed to say, it did not kick as much ass as Iron Man.

Yeah, I’m really getting PISSED now. Anyway:

So the Halloween dance was last week. My class hosted it and we raked in $ 1100. It wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t great could have been better…was going to be better…grr. I managed to get Bohemian Rhapsody played even though Aza (who was running the music) was being a little bitch, not that that’s unusual. My friend was sick and I think I caught whatever she had just from proximity. So, I was sick on Halloween, but like hell I was going to let that stop me. I went to the party that’s held by my classmate every year. A lot of people cam drunk and were either being jackasses, idiots, or both. Some were just loud and obnoxious and others felt the need to body surf down the stairs…repeatedly…at the same time. They also managed to tip the bathtub. Overall it was pretty funny, but this is my reasoning for having no desire to drink because I don’t really feel like making a complete fool of myself.

Oh yeah, can’t forget this:

I am Indy

I just made myself a nice ducted tape whip holster. Pics…sometime.

So, I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade tonight…again. Not such a great idea because this time around I realized how cheesy it really is, but who gives a fuck, Indiana Jones kicks ass. Also, at one point Indy throws a Nazi out of a zeppelin window and when all of the passengers looked at him in surprise he says: “No ticket.” I wonder if that’s where Kevin Smith got the line he used in Dogma; he does just about the same thing with either Bartleby or Loki and then when he notices a man watching, he shrugs and says the same line.

So, the other night I went on Ebay to see what bullwhips were up for auction. There was an 8 foot one for $13ish with no bids and only 5 minutes left. What the hell, right? RIGHT! Got it for $13ish…of course shipping was $9.95ish; so it ended up being $24, but now I have a bullwhip! Here are the updated shots:

Also, my friend Alex just informed me that we’re going to see Coheed and Cambria in SF in November. Fuck Yeah! If you haven’t heard of ‘em I suggest you look here. SciFi and rock? Epic.

So today there was form filling, book buying, locker finding, picture taking action at my school. I did all of it in my hat. Yes even the picture. The best part is, I walked in the door an was immediately greeted with “Hello Indiana Jones.” The hat works!!
