Let The Music Play

3/6 of the comics updated this morning.
i guess i can not complain, the ones that did were quite humorous.

You Can Listen To The Engine

grr
just when i thought the month could get no worse
first off it is brought to my attention that we get to sell our house
skippee
next off is that i have to get my own car insurance, because i got kicked off of my dad's policy, which, considering i should have not been there for almost 3 years, is okay.  just the timing that bothers me.
i am getting a new policy with a different company squared away this morning, and the website tells me that i have to call the people because of some problem with my driving record.  i call.  the woman i talk to makes an interesting discovery.  that being that my license was suspended some nine months ago for no reason at all, and no one bothered sending me anything, or anything.  apparently i was involved in an accident in october with a car that i totaled and was, therefore, forced to get rid of the previous february.
anyway, i get insurance, and now i just have to spend my days off getting the transmission in my beloved Jeep flushed out, and then getting it inspected, and also figuring out how to get my license reinstated.
skippee
also, two of my webcomics, thus so far, have no update.
we shall see about the others now

I’m Coming Home To You

Whee!!!!!
Twenty-five years after the original radio series of Douglas Adams’s The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy exploded into the public consciousness, the further exploits of its bewildered hero, Arthur Dent, are being brought to life in their original medium and with the (mainly) original cast. This dramatisation of the last three books, Life, The Universe And Everything; So Long And Thanks For All The Fish and Mostly Harmless (none of which were originally produced for radio), features Douglas Adams himself, thanks to the wonders of digital technology. Douglas always intended to play the part of Agrajag and recorded himself in the part a few years ago.
The programmes are adapted and directed by Douglas Adams’s original choice for the job, award-winning audio director Dirk Maggs, following Douglas’s instructions and notes which were made in preparation for these productions. The original Hitchhiker’s radio cast returns: Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford Prefect, Susan Sheridan as Trillian, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox and Stephen Moore as Marvin The Paranoid Android. The late Peter Jones’s great friend, William Franklyn, replaces him as The Voice Of The Book. Music for the new series is by Paul "Wix" Wickens (Paul McCartney’s musical director) and Phil Pope. The second of the new series is due in spring 2005. The producer is Bruce Hyman

Tell The Truth

finished wolves of the calla last night.  took me a week and a half instead of a day and a half.  it's amazing just how much i missed the first time through.
not a whole lot.
i was going to jump into the few eternal campion books that i kept out, but i decided some silliness of the Adams variety was in order.  I thought about going through the guide again, but seeing as how i have been listening to the radio series couple of weeks, i think i am all hitchhiked out for the time.  needless to say, i am going through the salmon of doubt now.
but seeing as how i have an irritating three year old messing with the keyboard whilst i am trying to type, i must now go.
more to come later though.
night kids

A Southern Man Don’t Need Him Around Anyhow

get to unload the truck at work at like 7 in the morning.  then i get to spend probably the rest of the day fixing the starter in my sister's alleged car.
every inch of the starter in the alleged car is covered in oil.  it has 2 lines running over it, both of which are metal.  skippee. 
you kids have fun.

Take It To The Limit

ergh
came home to discover that the hard drive that has the windows installation on it (my dad's computer, i.e. internet access computer) is mostly dead.
I can probably pull it up to save all the important stuffs, but that is, at this point, an iffy proposition.  needless to say, i have spent the last 4 hours getting the other disk partitioned and prepared to take over in the former primary drive's place.
my opinion of western digital drives:
Myself, I wouldn't trust it to the end of the Earth.
Yes, but how far's that?
About 12 minutes I'd think.  Come on, I need a drink!

East Of Omaha

Just purchased something for someone's upcoming birthday.  She would probably slap me for it, but I get lucky because I won't be attending comic con.  Therefore, once I recieve it, I can wrap it up with a card and something else, and then drop it back into the mail, free of her wrath for another few days.
Go me!
