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

Interesting word of the day on my dictionary app.

Fais do-do. A dance party. Louisiana.

I tend to look at the word of the day, and see if it somehow occurs in my day. This one probably won't, considering I'm about to walk through the rain, in England.

I suppose I could break out in unusual dance steps, sloshing through a puddle, but it wouldn't be authentic, 'cos I've never been to Louisiana.

Post Ed might be cross with me.



I changed the Old Photo story a bit, but its the same in essence.

I prefer it, must admit, I'm sooooo particular, but understand if its not for you.

Well, I like it - but let me know when you're completely happy with it. Then I'll take it and mess with a photo, if that's okay.

Ok boss, sorted. Sorry about that.

Take it away my friend.

Will do!

Great lookin' Post!!

Ah, I'm ahead of the game this week.

Already caught up with Molly's artist statement, and the 'plex #402. Classics.

Will be further reading and commenting over next few days.

Plus have noted Create, Ringing the Changes.

Life is sweet.

And I have made you a photo. An old photo, to go with your story.

You have?? Amazing!!! When can I see it? When when when when when when

I'll have to wait? Oh no!

Two weeks from today.

Hmm. Ok. . grrrr.

Create. Ringing the Changes.

Quite interesting, might turn it into one of my story thingies, but don't know yet. This is how it came out. Work in progress, perhaps. I'm kinda into the angel aspect. In fact I quite like it at the moment.

I really like it at the moment, to. It's very Shelleyan.

Really? You do? Shelleyan eh? Get me to Greenwich Village. . I go all Beat and beret when I write like this. .

Think I'll keep it then.

Its a strange little fragment I know, it needs a story, it needs to be found tucked into a diary of some mad composer, but I can't hear the story right now. Perhaps it is what it is and isn't what it isn't.

And the vertiginous angel is yours of course.

I know! It needs a picture! In my head I am making a photo montage, with keyboard, and blurry anxious bits, strings of lit up notes, and a sonic angel sitting on the piano,I love that angel. .

In reality, I wonder if you see a picture?

I do, but it won't be the same as your picture.

Make a picture. Send it to me.

h2g2 is a creative place, really it is. I'm in love with it.



And now you want my pictorial sonic angel, and I really want yours. .

OK well, give me a couple of days, but I really .... (want your sonic angel).



For the future though, if I'm going to start making pictures again, I really really really have to get my head around the sizing, so I don't send you huge photos, and drive you and myself crazy every time. I really want to make small, neat, compact, Post friendly pictures.

Could you give me definitive photograph width and height measurement??? Like the max, then I will make it much smaller.I will file it, and never ask you again.

My editing studio measurements are in pixels. Like, width and height.

Thankyouuuuuu.

I will make you a sonic angel. But you make one, too.

I'd really, really like them to be 600 pixels wide. No more, no less - because that way, the Pliny skin won't try to put anything else beside it. I'm at war with the parser, you see. So far, I'm winning...

OK, boss, excellent deal.

600 pixels wide, no more, no less. OK, I think even I can work with that. . Thanks!

Hope you work it out with Mr.Parser.

Who?

No, its OK, I'm just being stupid, , I've checked what a parser is.

I'm working on the angel. I woke up at 3.30 am with an idea...

Really??? This is excellent!!

What's your idea, what what what what

I know, you won't tell me.

Hurrumph.



I've been waiting to see the ghost of angel wings all day, but they aren't showing themselves to me.

I think the angels are protesting about my peculiar text. . Forget it kid, they are saying, we'll stick with the Gheorgheni guy.

Kinda funny. .

I'll keep trying for 24hrs, then I'll take their advice. hahahohohoho.

Wait no longer. I have finally made it back from Pittsburgh in one piece.

We *did* arrange to buy an organ this time. Bro in law must go back down for it in a couple of weeks. The folks with organ lived in a house about 100 feet straight up from the street on the other side of the Monongahela...vertiginous, was her driveway...lovely couple.

Here's my blue angel:

If it pleases you, I will add it to your poem and put it in the Post, say on 25 September?

Let me find you a song...

You've been on the road again! Great you got an organ this time!! Despite the vertiginous driveway! Well done. How lovely, you can play the music into the Autumn.

Ahhh what a track, Angel Band. Uplifts you to the highest dizzy realms.

Gorgeous, divine, beautiful, wondrous blue angel!! I love it, ah that is perfect.

Like the gheorgheniplex blog spot, must visit more often, with a bag of donuts, and half and hour to dream.

My text doesn't justify this artwork, but hey, this is it, this is the pic. Thankyouuuuu!

Lovin this project. Thankyou for your time. I'm such a kid, always wanting to play. .
