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

i see there's not going to be much done by way of studying it may be of comfort to you that our main library does not have harry potter; however i am reasonably certain that the matrics library has, seeing as it has a good collection of star wars books...

more serious articles?

don't know what you're talking about.






Renee gave me a book on the esteemed man for christmas, but I haven't read it yet. My plate's a little full right now, so I haven't been online much, or doing anything besides school and violin. oy.
Maybe, just maybe, someday.

Ooh! Does your library have an occult section, Keyan? Ours doesn't. We don't even have new age. But that's what happens when you live in the bug shiny belt buckle of the Bible belt.
Our main library has only 2 floors and a third of the top is dedicated to computers. I remember when the area that the computers occupy was once the area where the card catalogs sat.
Oh, that's right! Some of you kids are too young to remember the card catalogs....they were big rolodexes stuffed in cabinets, which had all the books inside, listed by subject, author, or title. Not like today's computerized catalog, where you enter this, enter that, click, click, click, and you can find The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams in under twenty seconds. Now, where's the fun in that?

gee whiz dale, i was beginning to think you'd been sucked into cyberspace and trapped inside your mail2world mailbox.

i do not know if our library has an occult section; seeing as it has everything from origami to brain surgery books, i suppose it *should* have some. (and no, we're not big on burning heretics)

our library has four floors, but it has sub-levels as well (that's what happens when you build a library on a hill, then open up a new wing lower down on the slope), so all in all it has 6 levels. the old wing is rumoured to be haunted... of course, i didn't find out until the end of second year, by which time i was spending almost every night in the science-fiction section alone .

interestingly enough, our library still has the old card catalogs despite the fact that everything's been computerised ages ago. no rolodexes, though - they're just stacks of cards in drawers. i'm embarsassed to say this, but i tried looking for a book the old-fashioned way once.... and failed miserably. i blame it on the new system of book-labelling.

gaargh, that should've been 'embarrassed'. my brain stops functioning properly at midnight.

hey yourself! i was wondering whatever became of *you*. i'm back here... alas... but will have to move out of college to millennium court on march 1st, thanks to that bloody national service program thing.

btw, i don't know if you've realised this, but you've left your 'jakarta undercover' book here! i walked into the ra room on tuesday, and was in the middle of preparing lunch when i saw the book on the common shelf. did you plan on letting other members of the lab educate themselves on, shall we say, *certain matters*, or was this one of those innocent oh-dear-i've-left-my-book-behind things? (it's a good thing it's in a language alien to leila, else she'd probably die of shock)
