Hoopyness all around ...... :-)
Posted Aug 31, 2000
Well, let's see, where to start ......
First off, I have only one more day of work left 'til I'm unemployed again. I'm getting some severance pay so I'm planning on paying my rent and bills a couple of months in advance so I can take some time off. I'm planning on just relaxing for the whole month of Sept. and possible half of October before I go out to find a new job. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, haven't even thought much about it really. Ah, it'll be good to have some time when I don't have to get up early in the morning for work.
Nextly, I had a really hoopy weekend this past weekend. My girlfriend (Luna) and I went out off town to Glenwood Springs for a romantic anniversary. We got to sit in the hot springs by the river and had a great time. We also got to see a bear climbing up the side of a hill as we were driving back to the inn Saturday evening. I hadn't seen one in the wild before, only in circuses and such. Cool critters them bears. 
Don't wanna make 'em mad though. Another very cool thing about our trip is that we got to listen to the entire Hitchhiker's radio series (I got the CD's from the Shop here at H2G2) on our trip. Neither I nor Luna (who is also an avid Hitchhiker's fan) had heard it in it's entirety before. Very hoopy, highly recommended.
Lastly, Another round of ACE recruiting is here. I've put in my application, but haven't heard back yet. Since I'm already good about greeting people, and really enjoy hanging out on H2G2, I figure I'll probably get the position. It's been a dream of mine, every since I first read the Hitchhiker series, to work in some capacity for the Hitchhiker's Guide.
Anyhoo, I hope that everything is going well with whoever is reading this. "Relax and enjoy your shoes. Relax and enjoy your shoes. ..."

A Cryptic Day
Posted Aug 12, 2000
Well, today was pretty hoopy. I emailed the Cryptic Corporation, the representatives of The Residents, to request permission to use some pictures from RezWeb ( http://www.residents.com ), and to send some fan praise. I was happy to later check my email and find a response telling me to go ahead. They (whoever it was that responded to my email, presumably Hardy Fox) also said they read my Entry.
Hopefully the fan praise will make it to The Residents.......

Losing my job ...
Posted Jun 28, 2000
Well, I received the official word today. The phone center that I work at will be closing in 60 days. It doesn't come as a surprise (thank goodness), there have been rumors going around for months. It's actually a great relief to finally know what exactly is going to happen. And ... I'm not going to be working for Ticketmaster anymore! Thank Eris! I'm looking forward to moving on to something much more enjoyable. What that will be, I don't know. If I had it my way, I'd be a janitor, but unfortunately that doesn't pay enough for the lifestyle I've become accustomed to. I don't think finding another Customer Service job will be too difficult, and at least I got my Supervisor promtion which will look good on the next resume'.

Towel Info?
Posted May 31, 2000
In Chapter 20 (Do You Know Where Your Towel Is?) in the book
Don't Panic by Neil Gaiman it speaks of a company called
HH Towels (located at PO Box 2LG, 36-38 Hanwat St, London W1A 2LG)
that sells large towels with the Guide entry for Towels printed on them.
I've tried to contact this company to see about buying one, but never got a response.
Does anyone out there know if they are still in business, or where I can find one of these towels?
Thanks in advance,
Phoenix
