LEGO INDY! LEGO Indy, I tell you!

[annathepiper]

I got a very late birthday gift package from the fabulous mamishka, which proved to contain two old Elvis LPs (King Creole and the 2-LP Elvis Christmas Album, both of which I already own, but hey!), a nifty Elvis calendar which is now hanging up in my workstation area at work, and, most importantly, a LEGO Indiana Jones set! The one from Last Crusade, which comes with a teeny LEGO Indy and a teeny LEGO Professor Jones Sr. and a teeny LEGO German guy and teeny LEGO motorbikes!

I am utterly, utterly charmed. Between stumbling home from work last night and knocking myself out with Nyquil to try to continue to recover from the Martian Death Plague that has afflicted me for a week and a half, I had to put the set together. Because teeny LEGO Indy! I mean, damn, he's got a TEENY FEDORA! <3

spazzkat came in when I was putting them together last night, picked up the LEGO Connery, and squeaked, waving it around, "You call this archaeology?!" *beam* I love my house. And the Meems, who understands the soul of my fangirlishness.

Thank you, Mimi! <3 <3

I have been plowing through cough drops like they were water, I tell you. I've already wiped out one bottle of Nyquil and am making inroads on the second, and I've had to resort to Vicks Vapo-rub as well if I want to actually breathe easily when I'm going to sleep.

Yay, congestion! And by yay, I mean, DEAR GODS I WANT TO BREATHE AGAIN WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL TO GET THIS PLAGUE OVER AND DONE WITH *sob* dammit, I'm supposed to be editing! Ahem. Right then. I think I'd better go to bed. *^_^*;;

Oog, bronchitis! I haven't been quite so miserable that I've had to resort to antibiotics--and I must admit that as of this afternoon I felt notably better than I did yesterday, so I think I'm on the mend. Which is good because I've already missed two days of work, and I'm trying to get two days off next week for Norwescon!

But sleep is definitely called for so I can continue to let this shit run its course. Good night! And good health wishes back to you!

So have you seen the lego indy stuff used in the irregular webcomic (http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/cast/cliffhangers.html) ? I find that strip most amusing :)

[annathepiper]

I hadn't seen that, no. Heh. Thanks for the link!

I suggest Mucinex - it helped the roomie & me get through our flu bout last month.

Also, have you seen the previews for Lego Indiana Jones (& Batman as well) for Playstation, PCs, etc? Looks very cool.

Fortunately, the Death Plague seems to be slowly releasing its grip--this week the strategy of knocking myself out with Nyquil at night seems to actually be helping. ;)

I know the LEGO Jones is on the way, yeah, though I haven't sought out previews for it. But I'm not really a video gamer anyway.

Yay for LEGO Indy! I spotted some in Forbidden Planet today too.

It kills me that they even figured out how to attach the teeny LEGO bullwhip to the LEGO motorcycle. Because apparently they couldn't figure out how to attach it to Indy's belt! ;)

Hey, you had to have it. I just saw it first is all. ;-) I'm sorry I missed the bit with Paul though. That must have been adorable. >;-)

[annathepiper]

It WAS. Paul said he might have to get a picture of himself doing that! <3
