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

MoGgie dear, if I purr loudly and rub my head against your ankles would you consider 'doing' me?

I'd love to see what you come up with

I'd love to!

I'll need a pic of you... you can email it to [email protected] and note Tefkat in the subject (I get loads of spam in that account, don't open things I don't recognize) or tell me where to find one... and give me an idea of what you'd like me to do with it. Then I'll be happy to run amok with it.


Lucinda and Galaxy Babe gave me some ideas for some of theirs and it works better that way, unless I get an image in my head about someone. I'm hoping, over time, to have a bunch of researchers in my album. I was thinking about offering to do them through the Post, but as my portraits are usually blended with paintings they wouldn't qualify as 'original' artwork. Too bad, cause I really like making them.



Let me know if you email... I don't check that one too often.

yoooo hooooo....

I think you run even more pages than I do. That's gotta keep you pretty busy! Or have you figured out how to manage all your nine lives simultaneously?

I saw the pics you posted in the pic thread. Did you want me to mutate one of them, or do you have another you'd like me to work with? If you want to be in a painting it's best to have something a bit clearer than the ones I've seen, and I can filter it out to fit the background.

Hello

You caught me, huh? Wish I COULD figure out how to run them simultaneously.

How many of you are there then? More than the deity and the geisha?

I'm afraid I don't have anything clearer than those three pics. I'm not exactly photogenic . Can you do owt with any of them?

(I'm also fresh out of ideas since no-one's at all likely to have painted Eccentrica or my kind of cat)

I can do things, the pics will just restrict me a bit. Describe your minds-eye version of Eccsy and the cat for me. I'll make em happen, one way or another. I'm omnipotent, after all. *puffs chest and looks *

I have a couple other pages I almost never use... but they're there, just in case I need 'em.

We-e-ell, the cat's the exotic kind that walks on two legs, probably wears a feather boa and a necklace and carries a long cigarette holder (do they make catmint cigarettes?). You know - the sex-kitten type

Actually, come to think of it, I have a poster I love, downstairs in what used to be a room. It's too big to scan in one go but I'll take it down tomorrow and show you.

Eccsy? Well actually my version owes more to Robert Heinlein's Tamara, or Mama Maureen.

Aha! Here's Eccsy...

Look what I just found...

(This is overkill but they're just all so gorgeous)

It's 4am. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun!

(Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.)

Fruit flies? *swat*

Thanks! I've never seen the Bergeron cats before, think I have the idea now.

And Eccsy ought to be pretty easy, I'm hoping. I'll work on 'em the beginning of next week when I have some time off, and see what happens. Have a great weekend, and thanks for the piccies. I loved them!

By the way, I've always loved Heinlein's wenches. *sigh* I think that man ruined me.... I'm still hoping there's a Lazarus Long out there for me to marry. Wouldn't care to settle for anything less.

Can I marry him too please?

Yes, I'm still looking for Boondock too.

I'm sure he'd let us share.

Eccsy's in there. Hope ya like her. I'll play mit der pussykat after I go for a swim and fluff my aura.

Thanks Mother of God.
But how did you know that was my favourite piece of advice from old Dr. Johnson?

(Been looking through My Docs trying to find a clearer pic. Shed a nostalgic or two over the wedding ones )

...unless it's your fave too of course.

That's one of my faves too. I started a book when I was 16 (gads, that's a while ago!) where I've been sporadically writing down various quotes that struck my fancy over the years. That one is near the beginning. I have several from Heinlein in there. 'Time Enough for Love' gave me a lot of my ideas about how people should try to be, both in relationships with each other and regarding having a variety of usefull skills. I read that book when I was about 12. Boy, was I a strange kid! Glad I outgrew THAT!

Were we hatched from the same egg or summat MoGgie dear?
I gleaned most of my ideas about how people should try to be from 'Time Enough for Love' when I was about 12 too.

(My first husband said I should never have been allowed to read that book at such a tender age - my morals had been irretrievably warped by it. )

AND I had one of those notebooks full of quotes (with many of Heinlein's near the beginning). Haven't added to it for a while though.
In fact I'm not even quite sure where it is these days.

Old age...

(But surely you don't mean you're glad you've outgrown wanting RAH's idealistic visions to be true? )

I got all my ideas about sex from three books, that one being the third. First I read "The Happy Hooker" (hoooooo boy, weren't my folks embarassed when dad's boss asked me what I was reading at the company Christmas party, and I showed him. I was 'the' school nerd, so I got most of my ideas about everything from books, and I read voraciously). Second was "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex, But Were Afraid to Ask". Somehow nobody had installed any values regarding sexual behavior in me at all, so I was a mite.... precocious... when I decided to put 'em all into practice. I was the happiest, horniest little slut-child I've ever known of, was very fortunate that I never got damaged by my experimental approach, probably because I 'knew' what I was doing and why, to a certain extent.

I do wish that Heinlein's idealistic visions were true, but it just doesn't seem to work that way when you throw people into the mix. That always seems to be the way of it, unfortunately. Nowadays I'm mostly celibate, prefer to wait til I find someone who can be as sexually unfettered as I can be, who is looking for a monogamous partnership, and who doesn't want to waste my time playing a bunch of games. I have no patience for following the girl rules... be fickle and difficult, with a sprinkling of bitchy and helpless...*sigh* I just want to meet someone with a strong libido who appreciates a mutually respectful relationship. He's gotta be brilliant, adventurous and multi-talented, too. hehehe I'm not asking for too much, am I? (Thank God I'm really goooood at being single!)

My muse seems to have jumped ship.... nothing happening with Tefkat. I think I'll try playing with paper and pencils, see what comes of it. Maybe I can get a start that way.

Tefkat is in there. You'll have to look on the second page, and let me know if you want any changes.

It's the weekend now. Yahooooooo! Went to the library today and got a whole mess of DNA books, some which I haven't read before, as well as Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita'. I'm planning some serious lounging between the beach and the pool. Frozen rum drinks, here I come.
