We have just returned from seeing the HHGTTG movie. Overall, I was really very happy with it. There’s lots straight from the books, and plenty of laugh-out-loud bits, and despite Marvin looking and sounding all wrong, he was actually quite perfect (unlike Zaphod, whose heads and third arm they really did screw up. For ease of filming, yeah yeah yeah I see why they did it, but eh, I would not have done Zaphod the way they did in many aspects. Nonetheless, I can’t say he wasn’t pretty Zaphod-like.) Arthur…
today
Today I have read three books. This is not very much like writing, or playing outside, but my God it was satisfying. So there. :) Except, argh.

Dur. V. tired today. (Go figure.) Haven’t gotten myself downstairs to write yet. I’m only going for 1100 words today. I figure if I get more it’s a miracle. :) Yeah, okay. I was gonna post more, but…
