There’s a lot of bad news in the world; sometimes it’s good to remember the sage philosophical advice of Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy..

I see via immediacy that it’s high time I checked in with the movie doings, and also the new radio series site, which includes hoopy things to check out such as the original text-based game (I could never get Arthur Dent out of his bedroom, but he had aspirin in his pocket).

My God. Did I just say “the friggin’ new radio series??” I’m listening to it now. It sounds pretty good thus far, except no darling old Peter Jones doing his best Peter Jonesy voice as The Book.

There’s a question on the site – “Has Hitchhiker Changed Your Life?” Why yes… I used to lock my self in my quad room in collage (apartment with shared kitchen) and refuse to come out until the show was over. My quadmates thought I was nuts.

Poor old Arthur Dent. He’s finally getting the hang of time travel.
