So long, and thanks for all the fish.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
30 years since Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy debuted on BBC radio.
Wow, 30 years! It's been around as long as I have and making people laugh for twice as long. I've loved this book since the first time I read it, and then all the rest of them. To pay homage I've re-read my all-in-one edition of the series. Everyone should read this book, well, those with a sense of humour and a liking for a bit of science-fiction. Douglas Adams was brilliant and obviously had a wonderful sense of humour. I would love to be able to write like he did - but no one will ever match him. It's too bad he had to leave this planet when he did - maybe one day he'll return with his towel.
THE answer to life, the universe and everything.

If I had an alien spaceship I would...
Of course it's a super-speedy ship that goes faster than the speed of light. Don't ask how, just wear your seatbelt if you ever happen to be in one.
Visit Jupiter.
Visit Saturn.
Visit where ever the ship was from.
Buzz the rovers on Mars to give NASA and everyone else something to talk about.
Find the Voyager space-crafts and give them a bit of a boost - just for the hell of it.
Hover above the capitals of all the major nations in the world to freak everyone out.
Visit Venus.
Visit the asteroid belt and gather up a few of them to take home for my backyard.
Visit the rest of the planets.
Visit Pluto and mock it for no longer being a planet.
Visit Deneb and see if it's got any planets orbiting around it.
Find a few other decent stars and check out their orbiting planets.
Hover above random little towns and shower down strange rocks from other planets in non-major nations around the world so they've got something new to show and tell the world.
Figure out all the alien systems on board and produce some really awesome pizza with their food creators.

Importing all my CDs.
The last few weeks I've been importing all of my many CDs into my computer. I've got about 50 more CDs to go and then I should be done. Mind you, I'm not importing ALL the songs off of each, just those I actually like. So far it's only come to 2.33 GB, which isn't too bad. I used to have about 350-400 CD's but dropped down to about 200 a few years ago, so I'm pleased that this little project hasn't sucked up 10 GB of space. And yes, these are all LEGIT CD's, not burnt copies or anything like that. I haven't bought many CD's in the last few years, normally getting others to buy them for xmas or birthday gifts now. Of course, I still collect my Patton-related CD's but other than that, I've really reigned in my CD addiction.

Is it SPRING yet????
I've had enough of all this snow and cold for now. I'm ready for SPRING. I don't want it to melt all at once but it would be nice to have it start to go away. I want to be able to go out in my backyard again and sit on my deck. I'd like to be able to go outside without having to put on layers of clothes and brace myself for the cold. I want my backyard back!!!!! Come on spring - we've all had enough of this winter already - give us some WARMTH!!!

So what?!

Updates & stuff.
There is a new list on TheInsaneDomain - Job hunting sucks! -
And FINALLY, the ask insane questions is working, and will continue to work from now on. There were some issues with the server it was on, and hardware being what it is, sometimes this happens. BUT it's up and running now, so you can once again pelt me with your insane questions and ask me for my fabulous advice. Of course, if you do something stupid as a result of my advice, I'm not legally responsible.

WHY don't more people comment?
Come on, I'm writing tons of totally useless stuff on here - why isn't anyone telling me how wonderful it all is? Oh, probably because it's not. Well screw you then. That's right, I said it and you can't stop me. I could say almost anything here because no one is actually reading this other than myself and some freak with no life (probably, though that could be me too.)

WHY would anyone want to be with Brett Michaels?
He's not only ugly, but UGLY. Also, come on, he's probably crawling with every disease known to mankind. I hate these stupid shows where people compete to be the mate of some other idiot - let's face it - they're all there to have their stupid faces on TV and the rest is just voyeuristic GARBAGE! People who watch this are just there to spy on the sex habits of others - probably because they aren't getting any or much for themselves. This is beyond trashy novels, it's trash TV at it's worst.

Even shows like Hell's Kitchen, which is supposed to be about COOKING, have cameras in the bedrooms. WHY???? Is there no such thing as privacy anymore? It's okay to just sign over all your rights to be on some damned TV show? There should be a law against cameras in bathrooms and bedrooms, and while we're at it, laws against cameras in cars that are taping the person driving the vehicle. They're supposed to be DRIVING! Safety FIRST!
