h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

{[B17]} Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I wonder if it is possible to make a one-eyed smiley?
I could use that as a "stopped-by-card".

Maybe [.-)] will do?

*comes in through back porch*
Good morning everybody! Bluebottle, welcome back -- did you bring us a string of garlic to hang up behind the counter?

And I would Lo-o-o-ove a cup of tea.
*puts out donuts on green compote dish and places a plate of mbougatses on the counter*

Hope everyone enjoyed the time off! I was busy myself, and didn't get in much. But the good thing about y'all being regulars is you don't need pampering and you know where the cups are.

Speaking of which, I know I have more cups to do, but as a lot of you know I have a REALLY MAJOR PROJECT on the machine right now, and that is sucking up all my art time. I'm sorry about the delay. H2G2 is my sanity maintenance...

I still can't stop that refrain from whirling in my head, and I still don't know the artist:

'It takes a fool to remain sane' - I like that...

Wise words...

Well, I'm REALLY late IRL, so I'll be off now..

See y'all later!

Bye

Getting late, got to go...

Good night, all!

*drifting off, in her usual v.e.l.manner*

Hi all *washes up and puts on v/_\3*
Do we really want a garlic aroma in the aroma cafe?

Yes and no or perhaps maybe.

I don't know, I really don't.

IIEM, green tea please.

Hi there IIEM, Kenyan please...Ta

Not sure about the garlic either....
I guess the smell is great if you know that in a short while you're gonna be filled with luscious lasagne or brilliant bolognese

We could hang them out on the porch.

~Strides in~

Hello everyone! I have returned! I feel the need to do something definite and official... Oh! I know.

Lil! Step forwards!

~Irving

*looks up, from the stack of crosswords that Ook no longer does because he's deeply into backgammon now*

Irv, hi! Step forward? OK.

*steps forward*

Asteroid Lil! I hereby officially thank you for the tremendous amount of work you've done this summer at the cafŽ, and releive (sp???) your of your duties! You can still do behind the counter stuff if you like, but you're welcome to go back to being a customer, too!
~Puts a hand on each of Lil's shoulders, then kisses her cheeks, european style. Gives her a big bear hug~

Thank you!

*applauds enthusiastically*

Hi Irv, can I be the first to order on your return from your hiatus. I would like a coffee made from Majik coffee beans, please.

One majic Aroma blend coffee, coming up ~pours coffee from a freshly brewed pot into Tashalls' mug. Littl multi-colored astrixes form in the air above the mug to show that the coffee is majic~

There you go!

*Fiddles with IIEM*

I hate to do this so soon after re-assuming my role, especially when I know those on the other side of the Atlantic will be back online in a few hours, but I'm putting the IIEM on auto-pilot. I'll step back in the morning between breakfast and registration. Oh the joys of starting life at a new college!

*calls it a night*

~Irving

mmmmmmm, the astrixes get up my nose, and are ticklish - but what a pleasant brew.

*picks up a paper with an unfinished crossword and sits down by the statue, looking out on the dusky view*

*frowns over first clue*

Hang on - this one is cryptic - never could do those...

*throws paper by feet and shoves hat down over eyes*

Ah well, I am a little tired, I think I'll just sit here in the Sun and maybe doze until something interesting happens.

Good morning!
IIEM, a large coffe please, drop of milk. Thanks.
*Starts going through the pile of fresh newspapers layed out on the counter.*

Good morn.. Oh, you're asleep....

*whispers*

IIEM, coffee please!

mornin' Bumble, didn't see you there!

So, how's life on "Vestlandet"?
