Once a Day Book part 3

So I thought it would be good to tell you before I started this post that yesterday I saw the "Hitchhiker's  Guide to the Galaxy" movie (and let me just say the people in it looked nothing like I thought they would). So in the part I read Zaphod and Marvin had been teleported to a Megadodo Publications, a company building, home to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". And after eavesdropping on a conversation, Zaphod figured out he was on a planet by the name of "Ursa Minor Beta", where just a few seconds later he had a thought put in his head by the part of his brain that he never listened to. But this time he gave in and listened and the thought just said this: Go see Zarniwoop. Who was the man running the building he was in. Now this is what I just love about Zaphod. It's that no matter where he was or what was happening he always has something to do. Even if he is stranded in a dessert without any contact with civilization he would still have somebody to see or some question to be answered. And as annoying as Marvin can seem (you see he is depressed. Not as in "Oh I'm so depressed" and then silent. The kind of depressed where lets say a person called Joe talks to somebody else named Bob this is how the conversation would go: Joe: "So bob how's life?" Marvin: "*sigh* Don't talk to me about life......you ever see a spec of dust? Well that's as empty as my life is.....".) he still isn't as bad as the elevator in the Megadodo Publications building. When Zaphod and Marvin got in it seemed like it was fine until they asked the elevator to go "up". Simply "up". But the elevator just said this: "How about going down?" and then the conversation went on like this: Zaphod: "No we just want to go up" Elevator: "Well down is very nice too. Ever think of going down?" Zaphod: "Well what so good is down anyways?" Elevator: "Well let's see there's the basement...uh...the boiler room...er...and the storage. Oh yes the I like going down to the storage sometimes" and so on so on. You see it's because the company that made the elevators in that building not only included GPP (Genuine People Personalities), just like all computer like things, they also included something that allows the elevator to see shortly into the future to get to the floor you were on before you even thought of taking it. And it can also see other things like whatever it was seeing and didn't want Zaphod or Marvin to know. Well that's all for this post, until then........yeah that's it.

Once a Day Book part 2

Alright so don't yell at me for being a total idiot but "Life the Universe and Everything" is not the next book in the "Hitchhikers" series. The next book is "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" and yes I got started on that. It starts off on the star ship Heart of Gold with Zaphod Beeblebrox cursing in his room after having a conversation with the computer who, like all the machines in this series, have actual feelings and are a real pain to take care of. While that is happening Arthur is back in the bridge and is ready to finally man up and demand a cup of tea from the drink machine (whose name I stupidly forgot) instead of the unappealing drink that it handed him last time. After a while the drink machine (don't know the name!) asked the computer to help and the computer shut down in thought. A while later the Vogons, who destroyed earth, attacked them and they were helpless with the computer down. I love this writer because he just jumps right into the story. I mean he does give like a page or two (or three or four or five) about catching up with the last book, but after those like three pages (or four or five or six) he just says "Hey! Here's the story! Let's jump right into it!"
