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

Hey Nope, it's still morning, 10.25.

I'm good, you?

You're up early for a Sunday morning...

I'm fine, thanks - alternating lazy days with really busy ones...

I've been up for a couple of hours, actually. Went to the shops, returned some DVDs, got some stuff for lunch. Now I'm trying to decide what to do with the rest of the day I did all the housework yesterday, so there's not much left to do.

Oooh, luxury...

Maybe you could read a bit more of Fray?

Too late, I read it all on my birthday. It's too damn good, I kept wanting to put it down after each chapter, but I couldn't!

I know the feeling. Glad you like it, though.

The other comics with Whedon involvement are pretty good too, but I still like this one the best.

I'll have to get the rest eventually. I've got a few comics/graphic novels I want to get.

This is Buffy S8 so far:

Three published, $#4 will follow soon; think there'll be eight in total.

They're also collecting (almost?) all other Buffy comics so far in these:

(Don't have those myself - yet? )

This is Angel S6 aka After the Fall

which also includes

There'll be one more Angel book, and that'll complete the series - out in July or August. All hardcover, but I think there'll be trade paperbacks, too.

Their other comics about those vamps with soul:

Got the AtF books, but not the rest.

Bloody hell.

Yeah - and I forgot to mention the two Serenity paperbacks, and 'Tales of the Slayers' and 'Tales of the Vampires', all from Dark Horse, too. Those are four you should get, BTW - good stuff.

But I don't think any of them'll go out of print soon, so you can take your time - and the new Buffy S8 books are released every five or six months, so they won't swamp you...

It's nuts. I didn't know there were that many.

I've been thinking about what to do with Kyra - Mal wants to play tomorrow, but I don't think I could until my lunch break.

There's money to be made...

As I said, I ignored most of them, apart from the ones Whedon's involved in. That 13 books so far, and will be 18 - Fray, the 2 'Tales', 8 Buffy's, 5 Angel/Spike and 2 Serenity's. That's more or less manageable...

I'm assuming she and Eli have been checking out the lay of the land, and reading up on stuff. You could take it from there...

Mal has asked me to play, too. If we do, I'll make sure to have Kyra C there as well, so you can jump in/take over. Unless you don't want that, of course...

No, go ahead and RC her. If you wait for me to be able to play, nothing will ever get done. I'm starting to wonder if we should put her somewhere away from the action, so you guys can play without me. At least then I'd have something to read

Don't worry - us not playing had nothing to do with you not being there. Both Mala and I have been very busy, and she's been ill for a couple of days, too...

Okay, but still, it's been quiet for a year. I'd like to inject some life and melodrama into the game so it's fun again. I just wish I had more time to play.

Same here - well, maybe apart from the melodrama...

Off now - long day tomorrow...

Take care, and sleep well.

Off early, Kyra - sorry. Hardly slept last night, thanks to a (thankfully minor) gas explosion outside and yet more scaffolding being constructed...

Take care, see you soon.

No worries, get some sleep.

See you later

Thanks, did.
