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

Things got confusing last night, what with the Oscars and all, so here's a new forum! Coffee anyone?

~Irving

And there is even a waiter here to serve it!

Glad you got in on the ground floor for this one, Marv! I'm afraid I'm turning in for the evening (class tomorrow) but it's good to know that the bar is in your hands

~Irving

Is this the post Oscar coffee party then.

If it is, there's not a lot to celebrate. American Beauty won everything. See:
http://www.oscar.com/oscarnight.html

Michael Caine got Best Supporting Actor. Angeline Jolie, and Hilary Swank won for Actresses. Hardly everything. That's three of the big six they didn't get.

Greebo T. Cat won best doughnut eater... ~grin~... but then me wins that every year.,.. which reminds me... can me have a doughnut and a Greebo Special please...

Okay, so maybe not literally "everything", but it still wasn't a balanced award ceremony. That's why I've never really liked the Oscars as one film always sweeps the boards and the others miss out. The BAFTAs are a much better ceremony - they at least give the awards to the right people.

*stumbles in bleary but happy*
Gmornin yall! We had a great time last night. Is it still autopilot here or is someone running the counter? I would love a cup of tea, and I'll have me one a them doughnuts, as my trailer park neighbours would say...

Did you notice how Haley Osment had an absolutely _wonderful_ time just being there?

I've added the two Oscar Party threads to the film society page so other film buffs can relive the evening/morning/that time in the evening just before dusk.

It's a shame you couldn't last all the way through, DD.

I was thinking how much fun it would be to watch bad movies here as they come up on regular listings, but that would be impossible for the non-Yanks But I know the Ozzies and Kiwis get the Discovery Channel: is it available by satellite in the UK?
*is thinking of dinosaur CGI extravaganza scheduled for mid-April*

If it had of been the Superbowl that would have been different. But I'd had a haard week, I will whowever read all the backlog later at my leisure.

Okay, I owe a doughnut and a Greebo Special to Greebo, and then a majic tea to Lil, was that it? *hands over drinks*
Sheesh! Had a heckuva time getting online this morning, but everything runs semi-smoothly now

~Irving

Thanks Mr Washington... ~grin~... me need that... ~Greebo wipes her mouth with a paw..~

Me is having more and more trouble getting onto h2g2 during the rush hours... sometimes me can get on... but the forum don't download... harrumph...

Today has been the only trouble I've had in a long time. But enough talk of trouble! Who wants a Latté?

Me please Irv. How's things out in Arizona? Over it Northern Ireland it's is sunny and warm for the time of year.

*hands over latté*
Here in AZ it's sunny and warm... but then, isn't it always? My friends who came to the UofA from other states claim that Arizona has no seasons... I beg to differ...

~Irving

People say the opposite about Ireland, I beg to differ

er... are you saying that Ireland has no seasons, though everyone else says it does?

~Irving

I believe Ireland has a lot of pepper, which is a very unused season.
