Happy 3rd birthday journal!

[neverwhere]

Congratulations, Nevvie's journal -- you've passed the Terrible Twos and are now edging ever closer to adulthood. *grins*


I was on the radio today! At the end of the 'Totally 80's' hour on a local station the DJ asked for people to call in and review The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, because it was number one at the box office this weekend (WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1! WOOOHOOOOO!!), so I did. And I was on the air! Now if only they had given me $1,000 for my excellent review...*giggles* (I can not believe that's what I sound like. Do I really sound like a 12 year old on helium? *laughs*)
There were a great many things I enjoyed about the film, a few that were not so brilliant, and one 'WTF!?' plot hole that drove me crazy. However, all I will say about the film is this: Nevvie + MartinFreemanasArthur = FOREVER. :)
Also: DIEAMERICANTRILLIANDIIIIIIIIIIIIE. God damn I hated her. (She was one whole ju-ju flop situation, full of Belgium and other horrific things. Bleaugh.) Okayokay, one more thing: I worship Stephen Fry. But of course we all knew that already. *grins*
I think Douglas would have been proud. Especially of the beginning. Hee. :)

This has been an amazing week for license plates. No, seriously. ALLEGRO, BONDIGE, EE MC2, and best of all, a frame holder that said 'MAURADERS: MOONEY PADFOOT WORMTAIL AND PRONGS'. *squee!* I definitely need to make a nifty and utterly geekalicious frame for my car, but what fandom to choose? Perhaps something from LOTR, or maybe one of my favourite Oscar Wilde quotes, like 'Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast' (so very true). Any suggestions my lovely friends?

Last week I spent a few delightful hours with darling fyrie, whom I met at ashfae's wedding, and had the best time chatting, giggling, playing LOTR trivial pursuit, and generally being outrageously bouncy and squeeful. She introduced me to new friend collie, who lives not to far away and works at the Renaissance Faire as a piratey wench, arrrr. She also has more friends than I've had in my entire life (although that's quite easy, really *small sigh*); every few minutes someone new would come by, it was quite intimidating being around someone so popular. *G* I hope I can visit her at the Ren Faire soon, I just need a bodice to complete my tavern wench-type ensemble. Please feel free to send me one. Preferably in green. ;-)


And finally, a very important note:

Dear Nevvie,

Please stop crying over fictional characters. You do not need to break down into agonizing sobs when your favourite anime character dies. Especially if you've seen the series a dozen times already. You're beginning to scare the neighbours. Seriously, cut it out. People will begin to worry about your sanity. If they haven't already.

Love,

Me :)

PS -- NEW FAMILY OMG SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!! *happiness pie*

I have this strange urge to go around scribbling, "Hughes Lives!" on walls now...

[deralte.livejournal.com]

Though that doesn't really fit, does it?... Er, sorry. My mind is all over the place this morning obviously.

Wasn't Hitchhiker's so much fun? I loved the Vorgons and the wonderfully done pot of petunias and the whale. I'd have been so annoyed if they didn't add that. I really did miss the, "Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it." quote though. Ford and Arthur are really slashy too.

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

See, I thought the bit with the sofas was an acceptable substitute for "Ford, you're turning into a penguin, stop it." What I missed was "Beware of the leopard."

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

YES! I did love the sofa bit. Arthur is such a dashing and attractive settee, don't you think? ;-)

I was so disappointed when Arthur didn't do the entire 'stuck inna file cabinet at the bottom of a disused lavaratory' speech. Or just little one liners like the Vogon captain saying 'I've just had an unhappy love affair, so I don't see why anyone else should have a good time', or 'It's times like this, when I'm trapped in an airlock with a man from betelgeuse about to be hurled into space lightyears away from the smoking remains of the earth that I really wish I would have listened to my mother when I was young' 'What did she say?' 'I don't know, I didn't listen!'
Heh, I could carry on doing this all day. *chuckles*

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, that last is absolutely another favorite!

Hey, the new radio show should be starting soon...yesterday, possibly?

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

'Would you like a hug?'


Bwahahahahaha!

They were frighteningly slashy. But then, they always are. *giggles at drunken FordandArthur trying to escape earth of the past* So cute. :)

[deralte.livejournal.com]

I hadn't noticed it much in the books, but whenever I see Ford and Arthur together on screen *shakes head* The movie honestly gave me the impression that Ford's been hitting on Arthur for years, and Arthur's just kinda resigned to it.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I think they seem rather slashy in the radio series, but that's probably because Geoffrey McGivern was a bit of a whoopsie. *laughs*

Also, Douglas couldn't write women, so all the best interaction is between the boys, so it's only natural they would appear quite 'close'. ;-)

Poor Arthur. Don't you just want to cuddle him and make everything better? Or is that just me. *giggles*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH Hughes! *sob*

I am so ashamed of myself for weeping copiously at his tragic demise. I wrapped myself in my blanket and couldn't stop shaking for at least 10 minutes. I AM SUCH A DORK OMG *laughs*

Why do I always fall in love with the ones who are destined to die? *clutches Hughes and Folken and Nuriiiiko-chan* *sniff*

[deralte.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, ozmaz told me she did nearly the same thing at Hughes death about an hour ago, so you have company;) I didn't cry myself, but I'm far too good at guessing which characters will kick it, and therefore prepare myself before hand. I did cry near the end of the series though...

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeep I don't want it to end!

I know I'll be a wreck. I've pretty much spoiled the end for myself, but I don't know all the details yet, but I can certainly guess...*wibble*
