Maryland
The wife visited me in Maryland for the Memorial weekend. She got really sick on the last day, and then I got it, so this is late.
Played some mini-golf. I won. (Suck it, honey!)
Saw some black squirrels. We don't have those in NY, so we were intrigued.
And a regular grey squirrel. (Squirrelus-get-shotimus)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Fan-fucking-tastic! Best movie I've seen since the Lord of the Rings finished.
Warning - Spoilers ahead!
I can't even describe how great I thought this movie was. Some nice references to the other movies (The warehouse from the end of Raiders, the Ark), references to old Indy games, to the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and nice period references. (The fight between the jocks and the greasers.) I loved Indy's son, and I think it's great that Lucas and Spielberg are considering moving the franchise forward with him in the lead. (The fedora blowing up against his legs, he almost puts it on and Indy sweeps it away and puts it on his own head, that was cool.)
The best scene though, for me anyway, was the first part of the movie. The throw his fedora on the ground, then drag him out of the trunk and toss him after his hat. Then you don't even see him, you just see his shadow as he puts the fedora on, and his theme plays quietly in the background. Chills, man, chills.
What the fuck are you still reading this for? Go see it! NOW!

My home for the next month.
Not exactly a suite at the Hilton, but oh well. Too bad I have to pay for my Internet access for the whole month.
Oh, and because I'm babbling (which is because I am tired), I was sent to Rockville, Maryland for a month to train for my new job.
Yes, my laptop is now chained to that desk with a laptop lock.

Experts: Indiana Jones pure fiction
STORY
Public to experts: No shit.
Gee, you mean archaeologists don't get to pack pistols and bullwhips and fight Nazis?
