Awesome Weekend
17 years ago
I spend very little time doing anything productive this weekend, and it felt GREAT! ^.^ I suppose I should enjoy it, 'cuz its probably the last weekend I'll be able to get away with something like that. Friday we finally finished putting together the exhibit at the museum on campus I work for. It looks awesome...I can hardly believe I actually came up with half of what's in there.
Saturday I dragged Kiro, Isaac and Allison (Cranky) out to see the exhibit. Damn it I put a lot of work into it, and they're gonna enjoy it! We went to the mall for a ring check and lunch after that. I found a little stand that sold Japanese candy/food/anime toys. I bought one of those super cool drinks that comes in the Cob Stop (sp?) bottle (its a little bottle with a marble in it...kinda hard to explain, but its a system we used to use to seal carbonated drinks until we came up with the bottle caps.)
After that I wanted to be uber nerd and go check out the Heros and Dragons store that I've never been to, but is apparently comic book/RPG mecca. It was AMAZING! and boy did I drop a lot of cash. >.< It was worth it though, I managed to find an Indiana Jones RPG set that they released after the second movie. It had the original guide books, lead figures, and about 8 additional campaign books, all for $90. I had to have it (for those of you who don't know, I collect Indiana Jones paraphernalia...mainly stuff from the old movies, though I have been known to buy things that recently came out). I also found an old Indy book on tape, as well as an old movie magazine previewing the Temple of Doom movie. It was quite a haul, but Kiro just said I won't be getting any Christmas or birthday presents for a while. Fine by me! ^.^ Finally, there was a giant cardboard cut out of Indy sitting at the front of the store. I'd already spent a lot of money, so I didn't think I was going to get it, but a few of my friends decided it would be uncooth for me not to own something so awesome and bought it for me. Indy is now sitting at my office in the anthropology building
Ah being a geek...how fun it is

You sound like you had an awesome weekend!
Did you get my message?

By the way, I'm going to see how this semester goes but I'm leaning toward an anthropology major of some sort. I'm already finding I know the entry-level material pretty well, I'll have to see how it goes once we get to the hard part.
And I concur with Q--pictures of the exhibit please! ^_^
Oh, and before I forget... Geeks FTW!
