the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I can't wait to hear eldritchhobbit today on NPR :) I'll probably end up listening to the online version as I don't have access to a radio at the moment, but I'm sure it will be quite interesting.

My Scottish DJ friend will be sending me 5 CDs of his tremendously froody John Barry broadcast on Two Lochs Radio plus "something extra special." It's always nice to know that there are some film score reviewers who aren't totally sexist and condescending; quite the opposite, indeed.

I finally wrote my HGTTG review, albeit one that's not as comprehensive as I'd like it to be, this morning. It's not nearly as detailed as I'd like it to be, but I don't have a huge amount of space to work with. Alex was laying out her front article on summer entertainment and her review for Crash while I was working on the other computer, so that thankfully worked out well. I might need to edit this for typos and other little things, but I manage to get the length right without having to go back and cutting stuff out or adding anything.

the Official Monster Raving Loony Party

For those of you who are amused/disgusted/disturbed by politics, you might enjoy this site:

The Official Monster Raving Loony Partty, a real, legitimate political party

It's British, by the way, and from what I've been told by my British friends, it's gaining quite a following. Apparently Tony Blair had to debate with a candidate dressed up like a crab in his home district!
