Down In Flames

It seems that my desktop is currently self-destructing. I have a suspicion that I'm the victim of a corrupted hard drive. Hopefully I'll be able to find my Windows XP disk and start getting things fixed, but I'm also starting my work week tomorrow, I have some fairly major personal issues going on, and I have a trip coming up this weekend. So I don't expect there will be any posting for awhile. I know it's been thin lately anyway, and I apologize. I hope to get back into the swing of things in the near future, but we'll see what happens.

On an offhand note, I've been all about The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy the last week or so. I'm in the middle of the 800 page Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide and I saw the movie today. The movie was good, solid fun. I wish it were a bit more entertaining, but overall I thought it did a fine job of capturing the book's spirit. As for the books themselves, they've been wonderful so far. I've read The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and Life, the Universe and Everything. I just started So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish. All of it so far has been quite magnificent.
