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

Looks at the MonaLisaah sound asleep in a tipsy dream, steps over her and wishes Hati a Happy 2005. Picks the painting up and slings her over his shoulder for bringing her back home.

How's the weather doing, Hati? Overhere it looks like spring. It's quite warm, actually.

I came to this site just to practise my skills in the English language. I've been here over more than half a year and it seems this site is addictive. Where do you find the time for being on line so much?
Do you do your work on the computer and have a look from time to time at H2G2 to see who to chat to? Does it consume a lot of thought when you're not online?

It's very warm here too, raining like in March. Usually we have around -10...-20C in January. Last week has been stormy, floods in some parts of the country and such.
I have been around for more than 4 years and the site is addictive indeed. I w*rk with the computer and mostly from home so it's easy to find the time. Then again, I am not always sitting at the pc when I seem to be online. I just hardly ever turn this thing off.
As about English - mine has improved a lot. Just few days ago I was browsing the postings I make years ago and I was .
One more thing about addiction - I think the second year was the worst from this point of view. And the period I had my h2g2 . Now it's eased a little.

A H2G2 ? That's cool! How did you manage to do that? Play hide and seek, making secret hiding places and inventing new nom de plume, steeling kisses in passing, intimate chats in the small hours of the night on a parkbench somewhere on H2G2 gazing up at the baglog and listening to gakking of overflying wild geese and meanwhile freezing your butt off on a deskchair?
Romance is fun. Well, it is supposed to be.
Guess what, today the weather is absolutely brilliant. I went for a walk along the coast. The water is very calm. A huge blue sky with hazy patches of clouds coming slowly in from the southwest horizon.
I'm wondering if the climate is really changing.

All that (and we had a h2g2 summerhouse for ourselves) and a bit of RL too. Not much as the actual distance was 1000 miles.

Here it was snowing today.

Well, well, well!

Another sunny day, and here I am, stuck behind the computer at two o'clock of a Saturday afternoon .... looking out of the window at a sunlit street. I must be out of my bloody f*****g mind!!!!

I should be doing things ...
really important things ...
like, like, like ....

Weeding the garden, cutting the grass, doing the dishes, washing clothes, vacuum cleaning, walking dog, sniffing fresh air, shopping, talk to the neighbour ... he's hooting the horn of his car ... I think he want to talk ... oh dear .... here we go again ...

We had a cold and sunny day, -5C. I tried my best to be a good girl but eventually I failed as my friends kept coming and going half of the day. Not that I actually mind spending an afternoon this way. With and and good chat, that is.

7 degrees and plenty of sunshine, during the night the temperature dropped below freezing point.
Yesterday I played scrabble with my stepmum and lost outrageously with a difference of more than 100 points.
Today I hammered her. Well the second game, the first game she won because I was saving up letters to make of the word 'roversbende' rougly translated as 'thievesnest'.
Just when I had the letters of 'rovers' together to go with the word 'bende'(mess or gang) that I had put down earlier, she put vertically the word 'foot' going upwards and by doing this she totally blocked my possiblilty of scoring three times word value for adding 'rovers'to 'bende'!
I screamed.

I was full of adrenaline and the intent to wipe her of the gameboard. I insisted on a second game, and I hammered her!

Family-time. I had my brother and his wife here last night and we played a card-game called Casino. Lady Luck is a tramp, I'd say.
And it was snowing half of the day, then raining and then freezing. I don't think I want to go out today...

The weather changed, it's raining now. It's half past five in the afternoon and it's dark and bitterly cold, not freezing just horribly, nasty, ugly cold ... brrrr.....
This weather goes directly to the bones and makes a person feel stiff, uncomfortable, and does nothing to improve the mood. It is probably the cause for major illness nr. 1, depression. Lots of people seeing their gp's and get a description for prozac or some other anti-depressivium. This weather is booming business for the pharmaceutical industries, I say.
I hope it's not going to stay this way for the next two or three months.

Family, yes, interesting topic! Well, I think my stepmum guessed my plan and waited until I had my letters together, Lady Luck being on my side for once, before she stepped in with her 'foot'. And the timing .... she's a very nifty player.

I take some antidepressant every winter. SAD is the abbreviation for the disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder. It gets worse year by year, methinks. Maybe it's the age. Maybe it's the weather getting only worse.
My brother is a natural born gambler. He has brilliant memory and he uses it. Usually he wins.

SAD, it is? Once in a while I consider asking my GP to prescribe me something. I still haven't. I don't like taking medicine ... but sometimes I'm tempted to give her call. I'll wait and see. If it gets really worse ... I just might. Mind you, I'm a naturally born optimistic ... with little avail, alas.

I noticed that some people have a certain knack for certain games. My neighbour always wins with playing Monopoly. Everytime we play ... it's the same. When he's counting his money and looks up at me and grins ... I know he knows what I am thinking (he's a member of the semetic race) and his grin becomes even wider.

With Chess I had a 'Angstgegner', male, white, well-educated, rather domineering. He played a very thight game, waiting for me to move and try to make openings in his defence. He always won by exhausting me and taking advantage of my mistakes. Last summer I beat him three times in a row!! That was good!

Taking maedications isn't good. Feeling bad isn't any better. So I chose what I thought was best for me. And I am not very optimistic myself.
Thinking about all those board games and such I had to make an appointment with my friends to have a game session on the weekend.

You're absolutely right, if you feel bad ... and medication helps, go for it.
According to the broadcasting on the telly, the weather is going to take a change. It's going to be winter at last. This weekend there will be .
No gameboards for me tonight but a movie with Mel Gibson.

Star Trek here. They are showing the oldest episodes, absolutely fabulous!

Ah yes, those are great! Absolutely Fabulous as well as Star Trek!
Which episode was it of Star Trek? Good old capitain Kirk. They have some good stories ... I remember some in particular which impressed me as a kid.
Last night I watched Lethal Weapon I. Next Friday LWII will be on telly.

According to the morning paper the nation is terrorized by blizzards ...! It's only wet and grey when I go outside. No wind to speak of ... Now don't tell me I missing out on all the fun!

It's the oldest episodes, from 1960-ies.
We have blizzards and all of it, -2C, damp and disgusting. You can have it if you want.

Alright, give us it here.

*sends the to general direction of Krabatt*

If everything goes well, it certainly will arrive tomorrow by mail. I'll let you know.

And keep it there.
