Dag!
I've been cycling earlier too..

Still odd with the game. Are you able to install .Net 3.5 along 4.5.1?

LOL!

Any small dogs? For some reason I've been wanting a Boston Terrier or little black french bulldog. If you get sick of one I'll give you my address and you can poke a few holes in a crate for me...

Morning Endre, having some tea without biscuits, because I already ate them. Also trying to recruit potential crafters to finish the tower.

The radio plays actually.

The later books were even worse, full of doom and gloom. Even Adams was dissatisfied with them. "I was having a very bleak year, so what came out was a very bleak book". He actually wanted to write something more upbeat and less depressing.

But then, that happened.

Can you say irony?

Now that baseball season has started, mine's been getting a lot of action as well.

And don't worry, I'm not going to have Crow ship me dogs via freight ;)

Good morning Endre.

Exciting are done already (cycling) - now i'm working for university again...

How are you doing?

Good morning. =)

Nothing exciting here, just killing time til people get back so my babysitting job can be done.

How are you feeling?
No, they're all large. Two are spastic, and one likes to urinate when they get anxious.
Even if I did send you one, you'd be sending it back in less than a week.

The only thing I can think of, more boring than a radio broadcast of a baseball match, would be a cricket match.

Or possibly, golf.

The BBC does some really awesome radio dramas. I was quite surprised to find this.

Cycling is fun, I do that whenever my body allows. ;)
Still feeling pretty bad but it'll pass.
Morning j0ekerr, a shame indeed.

Easy training then, find their flavour of meth and stuff it down the pants of people you hate.

Cats are always assholes.

Morning Crow.
Nothing exciting can be a good thing.
Not too good yet, thinking of moving the computer to the bathroom. ;)

I didn't feel very connected to the characters, but I must say that I took a liking to Arthur's totaly inept way of stumbling through affairs (perhaps more than to the person himself); Arthur to me is sort of the..."goede seut" (good sod?) who hasn't a clue as to what and why.

Ford and Zaphod are of course annoying and not very emphatic towards other people, but I don't necesarily dislike them for it.

I ussually have weird affinities towards persons in books (my all time favourite from Tolkien's works has to be Saruman, for reasons I myself cannot quite fathom). But perhaps that is partially due to the fact that I have very vivid imagination (yesterday while preparing a tabletop rpg session, I suddenly had a very lifelike image of an orc with udders stuck on his helmet in my mind's eye, where it lingered for the rest of the evening).

For some reason I also have far greater trouble "connecting" with characters in video games than with those in novels.

ie, when reading Gaunt's ghost, you really get involved with these fancy characters. I felt dreadfull when my favourite, "try again" Bragg died.

In mass effect (granted, perhaps not such a shining example) I couldn't care less. I like quarians and by extend Tali, but appart from a chat in the engine room I didn't care about it anymore (and I gave up on the games before bothering with romancing in any way).

The only little sting I ever felt for losing a character in a video game, was on my first morrowind playthrough when Gaius Cossades leaves for Cyrodill. He was always there as a given, he was friendly, he pointed you to essential lore and lovely quests, and then he's gone all of a sudden; Which felt as if a basic assumption about the game suddenly went missing.

And don't get me started on Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin <3

Hopefully you'll get better soon :)

Yeah i really like cycling and i thankfully have the opportunities to do it a lot :).

Yeah, that's what I was meaning. I don't think it's broken, just come loose slightly from the van itself.

Sounds somewhat similar to the roads in the Lake District...
It's been a while since I've read them (or listened to the radio versions) but I love the Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy, the first few books are definitely better but I still like the last few as well.
I love Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency books too, absolutely bonkers but hilarious (just like HG really)
French bulldogs are so cute. I'm not usually much of a fan of small dogs (more of a giant dog kind of guy) but I would have a French bulldog because they are adorable.

I have to be of now people!

*dissappears in a huge puff of sulphuric smoke, accompannied by the wailing of the damned, demonical laughter and the "Es Geschah" from Schnittkes genial faust cantata*

See you later!
