Any Douglas Adams Fans Out There?

[mtlieb]

Hiya cool froods!

Just nine more days till Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy hits the theaters here in the U.S. Woo hoo! Anyone here on the board as excited about it as i am? (Maybe not... i'm kind of a huge nerd). Nonetheless, the reviews have been quite favorable so far, and i'm happy in the knowledge that the screenplay was written by Douglas Adams himself and that they have followed it pretty closely.

I've been a huge fan for most of my adult life, and have always taken my Hitchhiker's Guide on digs with me for those nights in the Bates-like motels with not much to do.

Of course i will take my towel with me on opening night like any self-respecting Douglas Adams fan should. Not just any towel mind you... oh no... it will be the most appropriately hideous towel i can lay my hands on. LoL. Wouldn't it be cool if they'd released the movie on Towel Day? But hey, i'm not complaining.

The official movie website is here, and another great source for movie information is here.

The 29th is a hat trick for me...

HGTTG opens
OS X Tiger is released
It is my LAST DAY at my current job (in tech support)

WOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!

You want to thrown down who's a bigger geek? I have six computers, 2 PDAs, an iPod, the cell phone goes without saying, and I have five or six email addresses, own four domain names, and until next week, I support 40 people on four different operating systems -by myself.

Crikey... you spilled nerd all over me there girl.

Jim

[Sarah]

i'm not a geek

to paraphrase jessica rabbit, i'm not a geek, I was just programmed that way.

ok. i'll stop now.

[Reenie]

We're looking forward to the movie too, but mostly my husband is. And Sarah - Jim?? You are both nerd freaks! But we love ya that way.

Lisa

[Sarah]

winning all the way around

Dear Reenie

YOU BETCHA!! PM me the details. I haven't seen the Jackie O exhibit yet either, i think it is in town till the end of May (?).

Jim-Scott-- I just won free passes to see HGTTG on TUESDAY!!!

Woo hoo! again!

I leave tomorrow morning for a workshop on energy healing, so I'm excited.

Lisa--you know we are just playing (but run SuSe Linux on my PC laptop, Scott )

[Reenie]

Sarah, will let you know when I know more. I'd love to see the Jackie O exhibit. We'll be going on the 12. (If I get chosen to chaperone. Only a few will get to go - unless I just go on my own.)

Reenie

[Sarah]

cool

Great. Let me know when you know.

OH HEY!

I want in too! I'm a huge nerd as well. We have six PCs, 5 PDA, 3 digital camera, a 53inc big screen TV with Suround sound.

I also worked at Innoventions the Road to Tomorrow. I was one of the first people in the world to get to ride a Segway on a daily basis and crash it into the sliding doors at EPCOT in front of about 100 people.

I think I beat Jim out because I'm part Borg with my AICD and all. Heck my roommate even named me 1880 of 2000 when he saw the serial number on my x-ray. So now every time I have an ICD Interrogation I am rejoining the collective!

Oh yeah Captain Picard could kick Captain Kirk's butt any day of the week!

I got my thumb out for a ride next week to see HGGTG!

1800/2000

joy joy joy

Cool beans, Mary! I mean 1880 of 2K!

i won free passes to see HGTTG on Tuesday (did I mention that?)

I've heard of her. She has a great energy medicine book out. What do you think of her class?

I'm interested but money it tight right now.

I'm envious of you getting free tickets!

Mary S.

[Sarah]

great

most of what she taught is in the book, so if you can check it out of the library, it is worth it.

the energy in your body should be connected and crossing, like making a circuit, but in some people (usually people who are sick or had surgery) their energy is running in parrallel and the exercise in the world just makes you more tired --especially walking.

there are exercises in the book to get your energy flowing normally.

PM for more info.
