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

I had my last two exams today, now I get a well deserved three week break. Not very long *grump*.

My brother's visiting from Australia on Saturday for a week; we are going bungee jumping, quad biking and whatever that strange word is when you're exploring caves. Also Go Karting, we're visiting a theme park with a cool looking roller coaster and one of those giant drop things, and more tame stuff like mini golf and we're going to visit the zoo, they have lots of monkeys, I like chimps.

I'm busy getting drunk now; I couldn't the last few days cos I had exams, but now I can, so I am. I'm so bored, it's nearly 1am here, so that means it's either 12 or 2 in the arvo in Britain (can't remember which, It's 13 hours ahead or behind, I think that means it's either 12 or 2 but I've failed maths every year since grade 10 so don't ask me), everyone's at work I guess, cos no one's talking to me.

For some reason H2G2s got refugees from some radio site, 450 people are on line now, there's normally only 40 or so at this time of night/day.

M*A*S*H should be on soon, don't know why they can't put it on at a decent time and put c**p like Everybody Loves Raymond (yah, finished) or the bl**dy Bernie Mac Show (who thinks up these things?) or that stupid thing with that black guy, Damon something, bald, got famous brothers, can't think what it's called, put that c**p on at 1 in the morning.

Urgh, I've got a headache, all the alcohol I've got is Kahlua and Baileys, nice to drink but useless to get drunk, it's too sweet, I like whiskey straight best, no headache, no hangover, fast results.

I'm looking forward to relaxing for a while, no assignments due, no guilty feeling because there's an exam in three days and I haven't started studying yet, no classes to feel guilty about sleeping through (as in sleeping in, not actually sleeping in the lecture theatre). I'm already feeling that enthusiastic feeling you get when you know you'll actually turn up for classes and do all the readings and study for the exams. It usually lasts at least a week into the new semester!

It's my friend's birthday tomorrow and I haven't sent her card yet. It's sitting in front of me now, looking accusingly at me. *Guilt* I actually bought it and filled it in and addressed it last week, so it'd be there on time. Oops. Oh well, better late than never, and she forgot my birthday altogether this year. Not even a text message

There was meant to be that black and white movie with Billy Bob Thornton on tonight, I was going to watch it but they put on a special about the New Zealand golfer who won the US Tournament instead. Boring. Like anyone outside this tiny little country cares. Or most the people inside it (well, me, but I count!). It finished a while ago now we've got America's Most Wanted. It sure ain't CSI or Law and Order. These people are imbeciles. A cop just asked some loser if he understood his rights, so he says "you told me I got the right to remain silent", so the cop goes, "yeah, but do you understand your rights, it's a yes or no answer", looking for a yes so he doesn't get in trouble with the lawyers I guess, so the guy goes again "you told me I got the right to remain silent" in a real snotty voice, trying to sound tough and clever. There are some idiots in this world.

Ooh, M*A*S*H is on, Frank just stopped at a "Don't stop here, you're under direct enemy vision" sign, so he could get a snapshot. Frank: "I just want a shot of this" Hawkeye: "So do they!" I like the one's with Frank in, the first three seasons are good, I loved Trapper.

Well, congratulations if you got this far into my rant.

I'm going to think about going to bed soon.
