Today in Awesome: Trailer, Game, Star Wars Money

We've all got a bad case of the Fridays--perhaps because we're so pysched for the Media Slam this weekend. We need some awesome stuff to get us through the rest of the afternoon....

• "Father | Older son | Younger son | Party People".

• Talk about "one man's trash...": Old Chicago Lager Beer can, crazy cute compact depicting Chicago landmarks, and while we're not totally sure what a baby calculator is, it does look interesting.

• Looking for a time-sucking game? Like cartoon surgery? You're welcome.

• The only Star Wars currency we're—well, I'm; no need to overstate other Chicagoist folks' nerdiness—familiar with is from Star Wars Monopoly. But these are cool, too, even if they're not the canonically accurate credits. Aaaand typing that paragraph pretty much ensures that I'm going to die alone. Worth it!

• Not sure why you'd want or need to do this, but here's a little science experiment to keep you off the streets tonight: you can make your eye feel like it's closed when it's open.

• This movie looks awesome.
