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

Marv the Grate :archbishop of the "Church of the True Brownie." http://www.h2g2.com/A193754 (shameless plug) He's running for President of H2G2.

I know what you mean by reading the other 1 on 1's. It's a little wierd at times. Nothing's private here though.

I just feel like changing the name every now and again.

I should s**t off my computer ...I'm in the middle of a bad thunderstorm.

sorry "shut" not "S**t".

What would being president do for you?

hmmmmm. Absolutely nothing. I don'texpect any promises to be kept.

I've just posted a couple sketchbook pages to my page.......

When I looked, the pictures were not there.
Probably has something to do with the new guide.

only one of them is showing up on my screen. If they keep changing this place around......

I love the improvements. I wish they'd get spell check.

the changes aer good. Ilike the new layout much better.

My images never showed up because somehow they were deleted from the site I uploaded them to.

Check now. I think I fixed it. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Great! So that is your self rendition, eh? Not far from what I imagined. I think the bear seems more friendly, though. I'll stick with that pic in my head. Good job, anyway. I wish I could figure out a few more things myself on the computer. My damn fiancee who has a degree in computer information systems can't bring himself to get around to teaching me more. Diablo II just came out, and he can't tear himself away.

I had to learn all that computer stuff on my own. None of my friends would show me how to do anything. That is what I look like at... least it was the last time I checked.

I almost bought Diablo 2 today but I want to see how it plays first.

Why do people think someone else might have the slightest interest in watching them play? To appease my fiancee, I sat and watched him play for two hours the other night. AARRGGGHHH! I thought I'd blow my brains out! I'm a Quake III kinda girl myself! I love senseless violence in a video game! You'd never think it to look at me. I look like the kind of girl online shopping and s**t. I look like clipping coupons and watching soaps would be the highlight of my day. What has my life become when my favorite release is Q3?
What would my life be if I did like soaps?
Eh....
Some people in my family that don't know me well came in my room yesterday to use the computer while I was gone. I tried to look around my room and wonder what they thought from an outside perspective. First of all, it was a ABSOLUTE mess. Clothes flung about and papers stacked everywhere... Toffler's "War and Anti-War" looking well thumbed on my desk next to the bridal magazines... Louis Armstrong's CD sitting atop Pink Floyd... Traditional Home magazines intermixed with Clerks comic books... A lone black high heel next to my combat boots... A vibrating Mr. Potato Head next to a bag of maxi pads and a Blue's Clues game... A pair of dirty underwear lying atop a bottle of vanilla scented lotion... Chuckie Cheese tokens and paint samples... Sting tickets pinned on the cork board next to phone numbers, Josh's art work, business card, and a post-it with the web address to get a recipe for miso soup... A box of fireworks half shoved under the desk...
I am really, really weird.
Oh well, maybe not that weird. Just eccentric...... Well, I won't flatter myself. Just really, really messy.....

ok...let me describe my little area. First off I should tell you that for the last two months I've been living in a tiny truck camper in the middle of the woods. (HEY! Youy just watch those trauler trash remarks! My real home is on Cape Cod. I'm here to escape the tourists. I have very little space to work with.

On top of the stove I have my stereo, vcr and dvd player...and a playstation. Just to the left of that stuff is my new 27 inch tv ( I replaced my old 19 incher. I gave that one to my sister just to have an excuse to buy the new one.) The tv is on top of the sink by the way. The computer (imac) is on the little thing that serves as a table. I'm sitting on the uncomfortable pseudo-couch. I have 6 unfinished cans of coke next to the computer. A half eaten turkey club from two nights ago is on the floor by my feet. An empty bottle of tylenol. Empty bottle of excedrin...and a full one also on the table. Boots on the floor. paint brushes everywhere.....(forgot to clean my favorite one a week ago. this is very bad because I spent 70 dollars on that one). A pile of cd's on the armrest next to me. Smelly work clothes under my ass. Unread comics on the floor. An ink drawing on the floor with a boot-print on it. Can of lysol (very usefull in this small space). I know I missed something....

Now I have to go find my copy of quake 3. DAMN YOU!

Set up a server and we'll play! Or, if that is uncomfortable, I'll meet you at one. Somebody told me if you give people your IP they can screw with your computer if they know how. ???? I'm real hi-tech.... Can you tell? I'm not up to par of late. I'll have to practice a little. My fiancee, his best friend, and I used to play every night. I guess we've just all been too busy.

I can't play until I download the latest update. I intended to do it months ago but I don't want to wait for the download. The update fixes that problem that you mentioned.

I was looking around at some Q3 sites last night to find some plugins for it. Found tons of plugins but none that will work with my iMac. I WANTED TO PLAY AS GROUNDSKEEPER WILLY DAMMIT!

As soon as I get it I'll let you know.

I should realy go outside and enjoy my DAY OFF!

My fiancee's favorite was crack whore from Q2. When you punched the taunt button, she would giggle her boobs at you.

I'm not evesdropping, really.

Marv is the head of the CotTB (Church of the True Brownie) and he's one froody guy.

And (not to interject on a conversation I'm not a part of or anything, but what the hell, you're both from the States, so am I--you should be uned to unsolicited opinions by now) I can say I'm not really a scifi fan anymore, but Robert Anton Wilson is definitely on the top of my list. He's so complicated he makes you wonder how many personalities he's got running around in his head.



(And I liked both American Beauty and Brazil.)

Triv, Patron saint of...oh, nevermind.

Iv'e been trying to read the Illuminatus Trilogy for about 3 years now...I can't remember where I put it. I read that screenplay he wrote "reality is what you can get away with...(or whatever it was called.) That's where I got my first glimpse of J.R. Bob Dobbs.

I played q3 last night and was so bad that I had to play on "Let me win."

I have a headache. I'm going to shut off my computer..........soon.
