Had to go to the OB/Gyn today for a recheck on some stuff. An hour and a half I waited (for Ob/Gyn and Orthopedics I KNOW I'll be waiting due to the nature of the practice so I go prepared with books) for a five minute talk. Yep, the new hormones are working but they're giving me vivid dreams. 'Ha! Write them down and make a movie!' Way ahead of you doc. She showed me the mammogram report which had errors (that she pointed out) but it's basically a nodular tumor in my right breast. I go again in a few months for a second boob squishy. Basically my whole female line, me included, has fibro-cystic breast diease so no one is too worried. She seemed a little put out that the endocrinologist hasn't followed up more on that adrenal tumor (she's quite excited about it) I think that's a good hint, get a second opinion.

Drove up to my office to find out they put Microsoft 2007 on my computer. What a piece of shit that is! Best part is my computer is now so slow that 40 minutes after turning it on it still hadn't managed to pull up stuff. Um dudes...i think there's a problem. I had those 40 minutes to start emptying out my file cabinet into shredder boxes then went back to Gallipolis to go see Indy.

On the way there I saw a sign on a church that had a saying that I really liked. 'Lord, let me have the temerity and determination of a weed' That's going to be my new motto.



Okay it was good but not great. I had the same problem my parents did, sorry, Harrison I do love you but you were just too old. You looked as pathetic as William Shatner in the last ST movie or Sean Connery when he came back in Never Say Never Again well at least they put you with an age appropriate woman. Once I accepted that yes, he was going to do most of the action I enjoyed it but it was rough going at the beginning.

I damn near got up and walked out in one scene (it must be the one mom was ranting about without actually telling me) The fridge scene. Utterly ridiculous and added nothing.

I'm still iffy with the idea of Indy as a gov. agent at some point but okay whatever. And the McCarthyism made me uncomfortable just because I see certain segments of this country going that way again.

I absolutely loved Shia LeBouf in this. He did it very well (is it wrong to love him trying to shield his crotch in the jungle scene?) But come on, MUD? seriously, MUD? of all the retarded nicknames you could pick...

I loved that they even got the duck tail hairdo down. But plot points that bothered me, Indy NOT twigging on the name Marion Williams when he was later SO hung up on Marion that he never really loved anyone else (though I can believe that) and the surname Williams when he introduced Marion to Collin Williams. Hello the man can put together sphinxian riddles but he can't do that math? Also if Mud's named really was Henry Jones III then why is it such a surprise to him who daddy was? Unless he's never seen his birth certificate..

still that's all minor. Was I the only one to be screaming Nasca lines and alien technology while Indy was still reading Ox's letter?

Oh and I did like Olivia Armstrong...um Irina. A lot. I was almost sad to see her die.

Oh and I know no one knows this but, my Catholic confirmation name is Marion and I picked it because of Marion in the first movie, I loved her character so much. Mom and grandma were made I didn't pick their confirmation names. Um mom, your name is LUCILLE. I'd be Sister Lucille should I have taken holy orders. Thank you no, Sister Marion had such a nicer ring.

got home to find out i DID get my 600$ check from the government only to have my student loans snatch it. Sigh. No 600$ for me. But I expected that. Guess I won't be goosing the economy (not that I planned to. I was gonna put it in the bank with all my money. My savings account is a black hole, once money goes in it never comes out)

and I'm buying skull and crossbone capri pants from Roamans for the pirate wedding. Here's hoping they fit!

I freaking LOVE that your confirmation name is after the character Marion. Mine is Anne because of Anne of Green Gables. *g*

I think his name was Mutt, not Mud. Still a stupid name, but a sort of inside joke when you remember that Henry Jones, Jr.'s nickname of Indiana was after a dog.

hmmm you could be right. I forgot to mention I could hear the clickety click of the projector over everything. SO annoying

I almost couldn't stand the fridge scene, either. If it had been any movie hero other than Indiana Jones (or maybe James Bond) I would've given up on the movie, probably. (And it seemed like a lot of guys in the movie had magical invincible crotches, that jungle scene included. xD)

Good luck with that doctor stuff and the new computer mumbo jumbo.

that scene made no sense. Speilberg should have known better

and thanks

I forgave the fridge scene simply because, hello? First movie had the Wrath of God coming out of a little box and melting Nazis. Realism has never been a major point of Indy films... *g* Still, yeah.

His nickname was Mutt - it's embroidered on his jacket. Fifties kids. Have to remember Happy Days. *g*

Yeah I couldn't hear in the theatre and the screen was wrinkled so reading...not happening but Mutt is little better than Mud

I couldn't forgive that burst of unrealism.

I was laughing during the ant scene. Mostly because of the fact that Indy said Siafu. They're real ants (common name is Driver Ants) for crying out loud.....in Africa. Couldn't they have found a South American ant for that part. Like Bullet Ants that live in the canopy and their sting feels like you've been shot. They at least had the snakes native to the region in Raiders, I was kinda hoping they'd do that in this one. *sigh*
I loved the bad girl. It was such a nice change up from his enemies usually being male.
Shia Lebouf did amazingly well. I loved the part where he was hung up on the fact they left his bike at the cemetary.

Hope you have fun at the wedding!

i had that same thought about the ants but at least I could let that go. I could NOT let go the fridge thing.

thanks. I'm sure I will...i hope. I only know the bride and groom and their mom and aunt. Ah well,

Yeah, the Indy movie looked a bit lame in the previews (and his age is a huge factor - I would have preferred to see him come back in a role like Sean Connery did in the 3rd installment with someone else bing the 'badass'). But, I'll still have to catch it when it makes the rounds on cable - Shia et al.

And microsoft 2007?? 40 minutes to start up? Good god. It sounds like that harddrive might be dying...

P.S. And sorry the government snatched your check :(

I was hoping for that, and I suspect there'll be another movie with Shia as the lead, I wouldn't mind that

yes I've been saying there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with my work computer but the IT guys say no

I dunno - the silliness sort of added to the fun for me. I loved it.

ah, one vote for that then. I do know a few who got up and left after that. I considered it but I'm too cheap

I went in assuming it would be silly. :)

true. I think the ants used up my silly quota

With the one ovary popped out and on hormone-evening birth control pills, all I get are regular periods, not cool dreams. Oh, well.

Still haven't seen the new Indy movie. I expect I'll enjoy it aside from any flaws.

my dreams are very tied into the cycle and to the moon so...

I enjoyed it though that big flaw really did nearly ruin it
