See you at the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe, I guess.

Bring a towel. ;-)

I think- OW!!! XD;;

Have we meet before? *doesn't recognize your name*

I'm just a random commenter, but after a quick browse through your interests, you seem okay. You're obviously into Douglas Adams and Final Fantasy VII, both of which work in your favour. ;-)

FFVII is love. <3

And always glad to meet another INTJ.

*insert witty Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy comment here because Jeva is too brain dead also to think of something*

Have you read the Dirk Gently books? And especially—bear with me here—Last Chance To See? Don't be put off by it being a "wildlife" book: it's so very worth it.

*random thread interruption* ...I actually have one of them lying around my room somewhere, but I only got half-way through it.

Not a big Douglas Adams fan then?

I love his irreverent style of humour. On a related note, I'm reading The Princess Bride at the moment (you've seen the movie, right? Right?) and it's as laugh-out-loud funny as the film was. I highly recommend it. :-)

Read the entire Hitchiker trilogy, listened to ten of the radio show episodes on tape, and went to the movie with a towel ;) I just don't know if that particular book of his is my style. *actually goes to dig it up* Here it is: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Looks like I'm more like five-sixths of the way through. That's better than I thought.

I rec that book to everyone I can ♥♥♥ Only thing I've ever read that has authors notes as part of the story and makes it work.

It's a shame the movie wasn't better, though the Hitchhiker's story is so vast and complex that I'm sure there wasn't much they could fit into a couple of hours.

As for myself: I've read everything by Douglas Adams (including The Meaning of Liff with John Lloyd, which was actually my first Douglas Adams book); played Starship Titanic; listened to the Hitchhiker's radio show (the very best incarnation of Hitchhiker's, in my opinion) and have his signed photograph somewhere. I even had an email conversation with him, many moons ago...

*Douglas Adams junkie* ;-)

I thought it was pretty decent, myself. Understood it better on the second watching, though. Of course, it may just be that I was too taken with "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish" in its song form.

Wow, you really are an avid fan O_o I'm not even that much of a fangirl for Paulo Coelho.

My housemates wouldn't stop singing it for a full week. ;-)

The trouble was that the film had to be accessible to a much larger audience than just the Hitchhiker's fan crowd, and some of the more subtle and obscure humour was lost in the story's transplant from radio to film. I still enjoyed it, mind you.

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have. Hm...something to look into :D

[soc_puppet]

I think my favorite part was the proof of the non-existence of God :D

And disappearing in a puff of logic. ;-)

It's wonderful ♥ And that, my dears, is why Intellegent Design can not be considered a science.
