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

Well, that was definitely you.

Just been through back emails and assembled everything I've written to date on your chart. I'll print it tomorrow and see what all I've skipped, what I need to say more about. Right now I'm knackered.

OK, that's cool. I can write in reply to your last email in the meantime.

Just f-cked up my mouth this morning, the corner of my upper-lip is bleeding and aching. So, with short heair and a slightly swollen lip, I have not intentions of going out today. So now I can finish my subediting batch, write an email or two, revise, maybe even start reading a book

There's nothing worse than a bad hair day. Wars have begun over less. Ooh, and my back is twinging. I need to remember to get up every half hour and move around so that it won't spaz out on me. That happened 18 months ago, and really scared me.

All I've written on your chart comes to nearly a dozen closely spaced pages! But a good deal of it is general stuff. I think it will be best if I work on it as a separate document and, when it's done, attach it as a zip file to a future email. That way, I can put a sort of table of contents in the front, indicating the location of which bits. But, like you, I also have some studying to do...

Not so much bad hair day, more like week or two, while I wait for it to grow back to a decent length. I used to only have to wait about three days before I looked acceptable, but now my hair is REALLY short. I thought the guy cutting it was never going to stop!

What happened when you back spazzed up?

Looking forward to chart info

Back spazz: I hurt worse and worse and then suddenly the muscles sort of locked up. As I live on my own, it was rather scary, because at first I was terrified that it was my backbone or nerves or something, and I got into a panic feedback loop. Now I know it's a muscular thing and I just work my back gently. This is what I get for trying to come back too fast from jello-like post-pneumonia condition. Was swimming yesterday and did lots and lots of leg work. As if I were younger than I am.

Time to get up and move around, then sit down with Atnik material.

Reminds me of something I get with a foot sometimes. You get what feels like a cramp in your big toe, and it ends up trying to dislocate itself out og the socket! I swear that if I didn't try to stop it it would tear itself out!

I haven't swum for years. I think that's good *^_^*

email on its way - just passing through @v@

Still got 26 normal emails to read...it's gonna take all night *^_^*

Good thing I didn't wax gnarly, even if I did write more than once. Oh well, the gauntlet is almost run.

Let's see...I'm off the computer tomorrow morning at 8am at the latest. That's 3am your time...so when you're awake tomorrow you can send whatever pleases you
A gnarly message would be a nice way to round off a tough 5 days

As the exam papers of yore used to say...
"You will find a long gnarly message under your desk."

Did they? How odd...

Althoigh the virus has now seemed to have vanished, just like you two. Wjere are ya? Why'd conversation peter out suddenly?

We are notorious thread-jumpers.
Oh, I'll say. This thread is too long. I'm out of here. Or Mike A will suddenly appear on MY user page in a thread with a strange name.

Mike A, what's the URL for the mosh pit? Wrathchild might love it there! Mike A has rooms at my studio-gallery, and has decided to set them up as a Swedish mosh pit. Heaven knows what they'll be next week.

Anyhow, he's done quite an extraordinary decorating job.

Lil moves threads when they start getting too big, that's all. We're in Good Omen right now.
We had one going on Lil's homepage, but that died down fairly quick. You can't miss it
