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

How was the trip to France? Have fun at the hootoo meet?

I heard that you didn't get to go to the meet. This prolonged silence does not bode well. I hope very much to hear from you soon. Take care hun.

Awwww, come back soon -- I want to tell you about Spiderman 3, and the preview to Across the Universe.

Hi Sweets, just nattering on till you come back. I took a long walk today, and got a little blister. Also went out for Chinese food. Yum.

Ah, heard you might be online sometime tonight, so thought I would say HI!

Hope your Mom and cousin are doing better.

Still wondering what you thought of the Prestige. And eager to get your take on Across the Universe.

I went to the mall today and bought a colorful mandala suncatcher.

Hi Dearie, I'm feeling increasingly invisible and estranged from the locals. In both real life and cyber life, old friends are moving on, and there don't seem to be many new ones rushing to fill the gap. I just hate it when I post to a thread full of people and go totally unnoticed. Seems to be happening a lot. And I just don't know what I'll do when my best RL friend moves home to her family in North Carolina. Ah me. Sorry to gripe. Depression seems rampant at the moment. Quite a few hootooites are feeling the pinch.

Thank you, thank you for the email! Hang in there, we are rooting for you. I got a lot done tonight -- laundry and dishes and taking out trash. So I feel some accomplishment.

Hi hun, I went to the bookstore and splurged last night. Bought Exuberence by Kay Jamison. Also bought So Long and Thanks for All the Fish on audio CD. And got Fragile Things on CD, a collection of short stories. Last but not least I bought The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream for a friend. Plus I am already reading Atonement! Whew!

Wow, Atonement was a really good book!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You're back, you're back!!!!!!!!! *hops around in excitement*

Ah, I see you've just snuck back in to talk to Jazz on his birthday.

Yep! I've returned. ..and it's awfully good to be back!

Thanks so much for posting to these threads, JEllen.
I've missed chatting with you on a regular basis!

I just got back (after lots of flight delays) this evening.
But I'll be off again to perform up north this week.

Looks like you've been seeing some good films and reading some interesting looking s lately.

I'm also glad to see that you're feeling much better lately. I was so sorry to be away when you were going through that rough patch. I hope things are getting better and better for you, pal.
How's Micio doing?

Micio is snoozing next to the keyboard.

Tee hee. How cute!
She makes a nice furry office decoration.

I'm still very keen to find out what you thought of The Prestige. I ordered the book, and will read it as soon as I finish 1)Exuberance and 2)Devil in the White City.

I liked The Prestige!

And so did my big bro. He now has my DVD in his possession.

The ending was a bit fluffed, I thought. It was nice that things weren't spelled out in explanation for the audience, though. *giggles* I had to remind Wile E *and* that of a brother what happened. Some of my friends in London called me to ask, " What did I see... during the closing scenes ".

I pretty much guessed what was going to happen before it did. But it was a well crafted film with plenty of interesting stuff to keep me fascinated.
Scarlett Johannsen was a bit dull and not terribly consistent with her accent.

I guessed half the end, but not the other half. Whole thing blew me away, especially Christian Bale's performance.

Yeah. I loved what Christian Bale did with his role. His girlfriend/wife was also outstanding.

*sigh* Hugh Jackman...I like him alot. Even his cheesier film roles . Remember Kate and Leopold?

Yes, I remember that! Blimey, I've seen a lot of movies.

I just knew you would have seen that. You're a true cinephile.

Ooh. That sounds vaguely illicit...
