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*

You're so right, Zaphod isn't stupid (would he be able to use words like 'flummox' if he were? ;-), but I thought Sam's interpretation worked, especially with the cheeky winks and rockstar poses, those were awesome. *giggles*

I'm sure most of my issues with trillian were script related, probably because the 'love triangle of bad'(as nerdcakes so apptly puts it) felt so forced and utterly unnessesary. But then, so did the entire Humma Kavula/rescue from Vogsphere subplot. Meh.

Oh, Sam was great. Again, my issues are more with the script. Though actually, I applaud the scriptwriter here; he had a bitch of a job trying to bring a classic like this to the big screen, and all in all I think he did a really good job. He hit the style perfectly even if he occassionally missed on the characters. =)

And bleaaaaaaaaaah for the love triangle of bad, you're right, great way of putting it. Fenchurch forever! I forgive the Humma Kavula subplot because OH MY GOD HE LOOKED SO COOL AND CREEPY AYIEEEEEEE much love.
