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

No, there really is*/was* a point to this journal, other than wanting to use that title who?; me?; childish? never

There was a drama on the radio this mornig, I think it was the one in Womans hour, on radio four... They interviewed the autor before hand.... Actually thinking about it, he himself really couldn't have sounded any more camp had he tried to do so... Actually maybe he was trying to do so...
Anyhow...
Started listenign to the drama... It were terrrible... really terrible and it was just too* gay... too... full of Clichés and ... Well just terrible... I gave up listening to it in the end

In other news.
Where. the. is the stuff I ordered... I'm really beginning to doubt the functional abilities of our post man...
Been up since 8 AM, waiting for the postman to bring the stuff I've ordered, the same in fact as I have done every day cept Sunday since last Thursday. must nearly be lunch time
Grocerys arriving tommorrow, so I'll Have to be up fairly early for that, and no doubt to wait yet again for parcels to arrive... or not arrive as the case seems to be

I'm waiting for a parcel, too. It was sent off on 31st may, so *where* is it?

I hate waiting for the postie. I'd rather watch water come to the boil.

I've had some things arrive, the end last week, which were sent after* the stuff I'm still waiting on... So either... postman failed to deliver, and also failed to leave the 'I failed to deliver ' note... or, he delivered to a wrong address (well we often get things for other people; I had two expensive harddrives delivered to a sandwich shop several streets away, and my several hundred pound netbook was delivered to a newsagents....)
Or, its just not gone through the system yet and actual left the depo to be delivered to my door...
Or, in the case of one item, it could theoretically be a dodgy EBay seller not sending it out; though I doubt that very much as he was a power seller with 100% rating and no sign of any previous mal-practise like that from the reviews...) and, of course, that wouldn't explain where the other stuff is...

Some, of the stuff, wont' arrive until later in the week; I've not had Emails to say two or three of them have bene sent yet, but the two I'm waiting for in particular, oughta have arrived by now really, judgeing by when the Email said they wer sent out

I had an argument with my online dvd rental place a while back. They kept saying 'oh your dvds are in the post, it just takes time for them to get to you". I kept saying that in the 3 years I'd been using their service the dvds took only 2 days to get to me, not 5. Eventually they did turn up with multiple postmarks on them and looking like they'd been sitting on the sorting room floor for a week.

Do you have signature required there?

I don't think any of the stuff I'm waiting for requires a signature... its all probably far too big to just fit through the letterbox though
No sign of it yet... just a pizza takeaway leafelet through the letterbox a little bit ago

leaflets like those are food porn to me

I'm definitely not going to google "food porn".

oh go on! I did and got this

http://foodporndaily.com/

I just googled 'food porn'
err... I was going to say something....
Oh... we get an awful* lot of food porn through here; I think there is a lot of students in rented accomidation near me, well I'm a few minutes walk from one university, and then not very far from about a dozen Cambridge University colleges... so I think this area getts put high on the list of places to which they deliver such food porn
Actually as I took the most recent leaflet out of the letterbox earlier, I noticed a pile of 'paper' on the floor just underneath the leterbox in the hall, probably three or four of the daily 'junk' 'newspapers', which are glorified porn for advertizers, and mixed in with that there were maybe one or two dozen shiney looking leaflets... hmm.... and that will be what has arrived since Friday I think
hmmmm... I'm now going to spend the afternoon thinking of interesting things to do with bacon, sausages, eggs and various choc spreads and spray cream

I do hope you are all happy with yourself now.
Look what you've made* me go and do. :
I've started writing a guide entry, which I shall if I finish it, attempt to get into the EG, with a workign title of 'food porn', or possibly 'Food and sex a primer'
May take me a little while to finish as I think I need to do some primary research for this article...

I shall sit a wait patiently 2legs!

Mind, writing it is also quite fun, as |I've made a start.... Trying to be 'safe' with words and suchlike to ensure its not too .... X-rated for teh EG
So far I've choc, cream, body paint (found the edted entry on that to link too), aphradisiacs, and then I think on to the more ... unusual food to involve in bedroom experimentation
Its difficult though... I keep having disturbing thoughts involving a full english fy up I think researching for the guide entry might prove to be a lot of fun.... :- any weird looking 'personal' adds on free add sites appearing in my area, with a strange food related trend to them is probably just a coincidence

Gives a whole new meaning to fried eggs

I'm all for field studies...

Oh, my... speaking of food and porn. Stephen Fry just tweeted this BBC link to an interesting recipe.

(Wonders if this post will be ed or ed)

The internets is great.... Its like a giant play-pen for all the weirdos to hang out and contact each other.... Already have my first bit of ield research en-route to being organised for an evening later on this week ... organising such things must have been so difficult and time consuming before the advert of the giant internet weirdo play pen

I agree 2legs....

In those days, we had to write letters. Most of the time the 'Postie' somehow *lost* them.............

A few months later, hisa house would be raided, and several hundred letters would be found............

Wonder if that is what has happened to your 'Stuff'???
