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

...hi Kasia!

*pours herself another because h2g2 is still giving her trouble*

*flops down on the couch*

Gimlet please, Matina.

l spent today stringing Christmas lights while listening to the Supreme Court audio broadcast. Got rather surreal, really...

l wonder when we can expect a decision. l personally am hoping that, as the Florida/Republican/pro-Bush lawyer couldn't keep the names of the Justices straight as he addressed the Court, that the ruling will be made in favour of Gore, out of a fit of judicial pique...

ln additional news, l discovered today that my first choice college is looking too expensive for me, so it's back to searching...sigh...


'Nother please, Matina.

Again I am absent for an extended time. For all those that visited my page earlier, my mother is doing better. I am also calmer than I was. I ahte it when relatives are in the hospital.
Matina, a please.

*Cackles of manic laughter are heard from down the stairs, and are quickly followed by Affy, back from his long span of weeks without much internet access. He is carrying what looks like a large Trigonometry book, and being followed by what appears to be a small alligator with a calculator for a head and a bit of graphite on the tail. Affy, grinning like a maniac, rips a page from the book, and tosses it on the floor. The Calcu-Gator, as it reads on the side, quickly glances at the page, does some computations, marks all of the correct answers on the page with its tail, and then swallows the paper whole. Affy suddenly realizes that he's in the Atelier, and a confused expression comes across his face*

Hmmm, must've gotten carried away again. Sorry if I interupted something. Shouldn't be online this time of night anyway, what with midterms being a week away.

*Picks up the calcu-gator, and wanders back down the stairs*

This post has been removed.

Oooh, can I borrow the Calcu-Gator for the Computers and Fun conference I'm attending on Wednesday?

Well, ARDP has got to be ARrive DePart, and RDO might be Rest Day Off. And on the other two dates you change into a DorMouse.

Earlier this evening I was here catching up on backlog. Even as the page was downloading it began to change skin. I wound up with the message, tree and lower part of the goo, and the top part in alabaster -- asking me to register, of course. I've never been alabastered halfway through a page before.

Lil, lots of strange things seem to be happening. For me the top half of the page (the ads and buttons) often refresh themselves for no apparent reason.

Thanks for clearing up the abbreviation riddle. Matina, a piece of finest NZ chedder for Lil please.

Buried in Greek and math, now spends most of her time in a library carrel [think monk's cell]--but it's quiet, and it's my space!

Love y'all all--talk to you Wed night hopefully!

The top always refreshes for me... I always enjoy the new ads, when they first come out... but after seeing them 10 000 000 times, it tires

*enters holding back as it is still incredibly sore*
Matina, some OJ and Brufen please.
*eases himself gently down onto a comfy chair*

[Munching Squatly] I think these calling cards are getting a little silly now. Hey at least they were cheap.
And in other news;
What ho Biggles, Bally good show what, Taking the Kite up Today are we what?

And then I got an error, lets try again shall we children, but perhaps through the round window this time.

*waves painfully in Munchkins direction*
What ho, Munchers! When you back up north then?
*hoping M can hear him as he leaves his calling card*

*notices Titania in her other guise, but doesn't say anything, to preserve her annonimity, for a little while, anyway *

*fascinatedly watching quite new sort of h2g2 trouble - shifting identities from one forum to another*

Odd! I KNOW I logged out of that identity, and registered as myself - but suddenly I felt myself turning into Noticeboard again - rather like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde...

...but I guess the calling card revealed me...

*worrying about maybe turning into a *

Somehow I don't imagine you as a T

Knowing my luck, if these changes happens to me I'll turn into a Young Conservative
As to my hols, I have another week and a half of this nonsense before going North, where I have four days over Chrimbo at my parents, which should just be long enought to go through my sisters World Trip photos *Woo Hoo* Then I go to Glasgow to get in training for Hogmanay. On that thought, what do the various peoples here do for New Year, quite possibly the best Scots invented holiday First Footing? Getting Crushed in a public square? A wee dram after midnight and then to bed?
So B-17 I hope your pain subsides and, if I can carry a memory from one forum to another, are you going to make it to Glasgow?
