Once a Day Book part 5

So this is going to probably be a short post because not that much stuff happened in the story. But you learned a lot. So here's what went down: Zaphod got piss drunk at the "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" (I think I'll just call it the Restaurant) and Ford met somebody he knew who was really famous. But he was officially "dead for a year" and couldn't (literally couldn't) talk to anybody. You then get to know that when they call it the "Restaurant at the End of the Universe", they don't mean that the universe ends as in length wise, they mean that it ends in existence. So the only way to get there is to go to when the universe ends and eat. Now the cool thing I like about the way you afford a super expensive meal there is to open an account in the bank in the present, then when you time travel to get to the restaurant, your account would have piled up a ton of cash that you can then use to enjoy your meal. Now when the gang of four entered the dining area (remember Zarniwoop was not there when they were "turned into dust" and went through time and space to go to the restaurant for some apparent reason I probably didn't understand), they saw that the whole place was glittery and everybody was wearing these amazing clothes (by everybody I mean all the creatures from around the universe who like eating great food) just sitting at these amazing tables and eating delicious food. Now you might be thinking "why would they want to go to such a place just to eat food". Now at first I thought that it was just the best food in the universe but then I read the rest of the chapter to realize the real reason they were there (even though the food was a pretty big part of their wanting to go to the restaurant). It turns out that at the "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" you get to see the "End of the Universe" take place (logic. learn it sometime)! And that is what they all were waiting for. When I read this I thought that that meant they were going to "end" as well, but I was wrong. Because the restaurant is built on the destroyed remains of a plant, or should I say a soon to be destroyed planet (if you get what I just did there say what you think it is that I did just do there in the comments. That way I know you read the whole thing xD). And around that planet is a force field (I mean come on it's a futuristic themed book, you know there has to be a force field involved in it somewhere now don't you?) that kept it moving like it needed to and protected it from...well...the end of the universe. Well that's all that happened in the short few chapters. Until next time.....I think I'm going to start my bank account now! 

Once a day Book part 4

Okay so I know I'm getting this post in late but my Wi-Fi was screwed up and we needed it to get back on and so now that is it I am blogging (no duh!). So I read a lot and here's really what happened: Zaphos went into Zarniwoops office and then the building was taken by people who were looking for Zaphod and they took him to a "Vortex" thing that showed the the whole universe and everything that is everything which is supposed to basically ruin you for life. But Zaphod was not affected by it and met up with Zarniwoop in an old cruise ship and found out that the strange metal thing scraping his sunglasses was the "Spaceship Heart of Gold" all along and that he was actually in an exact replica of the universe but not the actual one and in the actual universe Zaphod would not have been able to take the "Vortex" at all. Now the thing I find a little weird is that right when Zaphod and Zarniwoop went to get Zaphod's jacket from outside the old cruise ship, the "Spaceship Heart of Gold" then grew from the small round metal thing is his pocket to its full size with his friends in it from the start. I mean why in the world would it then turn into full size? Did it just because they knew that is was the heart of gold (well one of them)?  Now the funny thing is the part after where they are all "exploded", or so they thought, and appeared in the afterlife with a waiter who was relentless in trying to serve them drinks. They later found out that the place they were in was actually the "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" (hey that's the tittle of the book!). Which is actually the tittle of the book (I just said that!). The thing I love about Douglas Adams is that he can make a normal argument with a waiter a hilarious event. I also like how in the part with the cruise ship, all the passengers are "asleep" and when they wake up they are all just screaming and yelling. While all of that is going on the women who is in charge of the passengers (don't know the right term for that :P) is continuously saying "Please be seated. We are now serving coffee and biscuits." I find that part pretty funny. Also the whole reason that the ship is just landed under a bunch of rubble on a ghost town of a planet is that it is waiting for "lemon-soaked paper napkins" to be delivered and will not leave until they are. And the ship will not be convinced that there are no more for it is also waiting for humanity to once again build up on the ghost world and wait for them to remake lemon-soaked paper napkins. Well that's what I thought of this super funny part of the book. Until I get lemon-soaked paper napkins, see ya!
