Brain Poops

Hey kids!

Ugh… I feel like some kind of mad uncle that steps in and out of your lives. “Ole Uncle Boh3m3, always ranting about one thing or another and then disappearing into the ether for weeks on end. What a coot!”

I’m not going to lie to you and say I was having some sort of religious experience, nor play on your sympathies by faking a family emergency. I’m not going to claim illness of any kind or even distraction via relationship. I’m going to say it flat out.

Lego. Indiana. Jones.

I was completely hermetic for about 3 days after I installed this game. I came out (after I had achieved 100%) looking something like a cave salamander with chest hair and a goofy smile.

Without a mention of the nasty “nuke the fridge” Indy4, the game centers around a clean, family friendly lego version where you get to play scenes from all three original movies.

I feel so dirty, having now officially wrote “clean, family friendly” and really meaning it.

Being the geek that I am,  I had to get ahold of it. If you have Indy fevah, it’s a good buy for sure.

Then I proceeded to work as a “Pedestrian” extra on The Fast and the Furious 4 for two days. This being a night call in downtown LA, all of us catty extras ended up huddling into little tribes of smokers and non-smokers chattering and laughing. It was like a hobo version of woodstock, with iPods instead of a stage and desperate pseudo-actors instead of hippies.

Of all the extras I asked, one question reigned above all others: “Why the FUCK are they doing another one of these damn films!”

In close second was a slightly less picked up ramble: “Man Paul Walkers a dick! I wouldn’t piss in his mouth if his throat was on fire!” It did, however, get more laughs than the previous and brought into question why that extra involved Paul Walker, dick, and urinating into a mouth in the same breath.

But other than that there have been few new developments. More distractions than anything else, but I shall be back soon.
