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

you get better TV than the UK

i am not so sure about that
most of it is total garbage
some of it evil

really maybe only 5 decent channels out of over 100

i dip into the comedy channel ONLY for jon stewarts daily show and for rober cobert and now key and... (two black guys) i have to mute during commercials because the comedy channel is horrifically male chAuvenistically piggish and violent.

i can get those on internet but my data package is limited right now so i am stuck with bobbing and ducking on this free tv

Ah I see where are you living at the moment

i live in the boonies

well... i have mostly always lived in the boonies
the sticks, the hinterlands, the spaces between towns
but this boonies aint got no cable
its all satellite dish
and that makes internet expensive because u have to buy equipment
and then they charge more

the only unlimited internet is via cable
or if u can stand tiny little devices, smartphone

Yes but where ish I am in Winchester area of the UK to built up enclosed and clostraphobic

ah the cathedral city!
are you there or outside the city?
in a development?

anyway... there are tractors and junk cars around here so it isnt so romantic
i find those lovely real life things in myback yard as well as wheni go outinthe woods

a humming bird comes around every day

it brings me news

and hums a little tune

Outside the city itsb ok but there is no space yours sonnds nice despite the signs of human occupation and the humming birs sounds pure disney

are you saying you do not have a yard?

by yard do you mean garden

not exactly... what i mean is 'an area of land outside your domicile that you can hang out in'

the reason i do not insist on the word 'garden' is because i once had a small place that was built out of a garage... and the yard was merely a cemented area with a fence around it and my place...

since i love growing plants, i borrowed some cinder blocks (made out of cement)

and made a small enclosure against the chain link http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=chain+link+fence&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=MAxtT_iyJ6XkiALVm6G-BQ&biw=1003&bih=639&sei=MwxtT6_LNNDKiQKe_6HUAg fence...
then i borrowed some dirt from down the alley, filled this flower bed enclosure, and planted vegetables and flowers...

he he when the daikon radishes grew down to the cement yard they started pushing up out of the ground...

anyway, i had my nice plants which i would sit by and read, with the occasional visit from a bird or bumble bee or whatnot...

this area by the way was about 10 x 15

That sounds ideal simple rustic and private with peace and wildlife

ha ha

iha Ha ?

by the way we first talked on Aug 6, 2007 where did that 5 years go

5 years?!

wOw

oh surely not!

ah... 4 and a half years actually

not quite so bad to lose 4 and a half years as opposed to the big 5!

...

...

...

actually...

alot has happened in my 4 and a half years

i went to maui, fell in love, got sick and almost died, came back to the mainland, and have been recuperating...

thats alot and some distance on the planet too

what about you?

do you still do scrabble

DO scrabble?

i AM scrabble

right now i have 10 games going on my itouch
although, i would scarcely call them real scrabble games
no challenge option... you cannot put down a wrong word
and most of the players will bail out the minute you play a bingo or score 50 points more than them

but... it Is scrabble of a sort
and i scrabble
