My boyfriend Harrison Ford has a new movie coming out today, and WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT TONIGHT!
I now direct you here* for a little history about the thrilling "Raiders March" by John Williams. We played this in concert band** in high school, and I got goosebumps. every. time.
*a tip of my fedora to drjonboyg
**yes, I was in band. Shut up. I wasn't in marching band.
wait! you were in band, too??? so was i! at least until i was too cool to do marching band. i HAD to do it my sophomore year, but no way after that! what'd you play? i played the clarinet. you seem like a flutist.

Oh, great. Now I'm flashing back to Mr. Pew and my rabid apathy towards concert band. (Which was the only band I was in at the time, having abandoned the marching variety, thankyouverymuch.) ;-) Heh. If I knew then that sitting by the cool blonde chick in the flute section would lead to a 23-year friendship, I wouldn't have believed it.
23 years! Ewwww, we're OLD.

Harrison Ford was on Letterman on Tuesday evening, and appeared extremely spacey, which is not really unusual for him when on a TV talk show. I did like the Indiana Jones movies but, do tell me, why a fourth one, starring a 66 year old man?!!? No offense, I love Harrison Ford, but this is a bit puzzling to me (but I will probably go and see the movie anyway...).

Do you play the Indiana Jones theme song before bedtime?

I loved the old films and their style. It's hard for me to watch new installments without being disappointed.

I'm not saying anything about you being in band. I was in drama AND debate. I can't wait to see the movie and hear what you have to say about.
You get a big WAY TO GO!!!!

kisses!
