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

opening night went well - will tell more soon - should really do a journal but as ever trying to fit too much into my day so this is a flying visit!

Hey Light. Sorry I have'nt been around in a long spell. I was almost homeless, again. I got fired from my job again, the stock crew manager found a way to get rid of e for good again. Anyway after worrying God with numerous prayers again, I found a job in the want ads. A first for me. It'a hard job with long hours, but the money is good, and I'm traveling around the country putting up tents and temporary stalls at horse shows. So drop me a line when you can I'll get back with you in a more timely fashion. I just bought a laptop computer with my money I've saved. E'ya

Glad the new job is working out - well done you. It doesent sound like the sort of thing for everyone but rewarding if you do

Shiny new laptop - lucky you

Life pretty much as normal here - very busy with work. We had a week away with OJ's teenagers and his Mum - went surprisingly well considering!

Well my plan is to work this gig for a year and a half. Buy some land, put a trailer on it, and home sweet home. No one can evict me if it's bought, and paid for. Go to school for computer graphics, and visit The UK. Maybe see some of my E'Friends that I've been talking to all this time. See I make $7 an hour plus overtime, of ehich there is more that a lot of. Plus I get $5 dollars an hour bonus money that I get at the end of the year. I plan to save the majority of the money I don't spend for food and hotel, and put it oin with my bonus. I only paid $10 a night for my hotel, the company pays the rest. Sometimes we get in some really hi dollar hotels. Then sometimes we get the cheap ones. Still I paid $90 a week for that room I had, and it was in a dangerous part of town. Not bad eh? This winter we'll be in Las Vegas and California. We stay in California until April. By then it's warm back this way. It stays nice and warm during the winter out there. Cool aye.

Sounds like a good plan to me - work really hard for a while, get somewhere to live sorted and then do what you want to do - something you will love

Thanks Light for your support Lass. It's the best plan I could come up with give my predicament. I'll be able to stay in touch more often from now on Missy. Glad to see you and OJ are doing well. I hope to visit over that way in 07 so watch out for me then Okay E'Ya soon me Friend. Toodlies

I sure will!

Good cause they're many people I want to see over that way. Gosh I've met so many nice people online from Ireland, Scotland,and England. I want to see them all. I've seen some picture of a lot of them. I want to meet you an d the rest as soon as I get the cash. I should have enough and then some by then.

So when is yoyur next prodution?

I have just finished helping out with the lights for a show - it was not a very good show but hey!

I am actually feeling a bit wierd - I dont have a next production lined up with the theatre I am on holiday for the next set of performances but I am sure something will come along

At the moment its very hectic at work and I am arranging a party for next weekend

Where are you at the moment?

I'm in Indianapolis, Indiana. We are tearing down a show we put up two weeks ago. I'm getting better at this job, but it still wears me out before the day is done though. Still it's my ticket to get me where I wanted to be in life long ago. So I'm in it for a while. The way I figure it is, anything worth wanting is surely worth working for. I've always had the ethic, just nothing ever worked out right for me. Hopefully that will change this go around.

It sounds like it might - as you say you have to work for things and when you get things that way they are much more meaningful and the sense of achievement is much more

It sounds to me like you are quite enjoying this job which is cool

I don't know if I enjoy it or not, but it could always be worse. I do like staying in hotels though. Cept for having to pack up and go. That's a pain. 've got to much stuff to haul, it takes mw three trips to get it all. I plan to get better luggage soon. Some say I should have gotten the luggage first, before the laptop. I say boulderdash. I had to have my computer. My Boss Ilene, has been putting me up in hotels that have wireless internet. She knows I'm addicted to yakking with you and the rest of my E'Friends. You Guys are a whole site smarter than the guys I work with. Plus I'm in a better mood from chattering with Y'all.

I am never sure about staying in hotels - while its fine being there I would rather be at home! I have started taking some things with me to make it feel more familiar - like an iPod with speakers so I can listen to my favourite songs, a good book or two and possibly a suduko book - have you come across suduko? Its a horribly addictive logic puzzle that involves placing numbers in a grid

Luggage can wait!

Thanks for vendicating my choice on the laptop, Light. I just don't know many people of while I can have a stimulating conversation with. I mean sports and racecars, bore me. I like to find out things about other countries, and the people in them. Plus I have an intelect, I'm not bragging, but I just can't find many around me that can converse on the same level. 'm not downing my friends, its just they don't have the same zest for knowledge as I.

I have'nt heard of Suduko. I'm ggod at logic though. Still I would probably not be good at the3 puzzles.

E'Yas Missy.

If you like logic anc challanging your brain you will be able to do them and may well enjoy it Where are you at the moment?

Somewhere in Indiana. We left Mason City Iowa today, and we're
heading to Baltimore, I think. We maybe going to a company farm, it's in Marilyn as well. Right outside Washington DC. I've been there before. I like the place. The owners daughter fancys me, but alas she's going to get married, and is way younger than me. Still I can't help, but have my ego boosted by that. She's a cuty too. Oh well I have to stay away from that.

Staying away from that sounds like a good move

I got a new laptop computer today - its sooooooo and sooooo little It will be great with all the travel I do - its about the same size as a pad of A4 / Letter paper and instead of entering a password I have to swipe my finger - mega cool!

Oh you got a new Think Pad. I would have loved to got on of those, but the price tag was a little more than I was willing to let go of. t has a shock absorber for the hard drive. I have to be careful about mine. It like to have slipped off my arm one night, I kepted it from hitting the ground with luck and my quick reflexes. The strap was sliding down my arm, and I bent my hand upwards to stop it from sliding off completely.

Still for the money I got a lot more with this Gateway than I would have with a Dell, HP, or IBM like yours.

Its not a thinkpad - its a toshiba. I know I am very lucky to have one

I did'nt know toshiba had a computer with fingerprint passcode on it. I have'nt seen it here in the states yet. That's why I thought it was an IBM Thinkpad.

I can't complain about this one. It has everything I wanted and then some. The battery life leaves a bit to be desired though, oh well you can't have everything eh? I love it anyway, it's my portal to the real world. Not to mention it's darn fun to have.
