Did you get your new roof on? Wasn't that what you were doing last weekend?

[HairOfTheDog]

On the special features the guy that played Zaphod said he played it like John Travolta and Bill Clinton....

But I still see David Lee Roth and a little Dubya ;~D

[SuziQ]

We'd LOVE to buy you breakfast and have a visit!

[SuziQ]

Heh, I knew I detected some of X42 in Zaphod!

Well, the floured board thing *works* but it didn't get any tracks on it. I looked first thing this morning. Then I set the board up on top of the coop so the chickens wouldn't walk through it when I let them out and then just a few minutes ago I went out and you could see distinct bird tracks in it that just happened.

So I'm going to keep trying.

[2Jedismom]

I agree...more W than C-word! That wink, you know...

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - the facial mannerisms...

[2Jedismom]

I'm following the OKC suicide bomber threads...'cause I have the OK ping list and such, you know.

The rest is rubbish.

(Heh heh...I like that word.)

[2Jedismom]

Rubbish, except for the HH of course.

The roof went great. Dad and I spent Saturday through Tuesday working on it. We had to pull off 2 and in some places 3 lays of old stuff. But the new one is all on and looks great. While we were doing that mom was a whirlwind in the house. She repainting the bedroom and then set it all up really nicely
She also sanded and repainted both doors and polyurethaned the floor of one room. Plus sewing some curtains for the kitchen and cooking tasty meals.

So it was a great visit but as is fairly normal for one of my families 'vacations' I need another vacation to relax from it.

[TalonDJ]

Show up juuuust in time to steal a precious. How very in-character.

Not JUST in time... hehe. I had to lurk for a few hours ;D

[RMDupree]

Well then, we'll definitely have to try and work it out!

[RMDupree]

Give it a few more days, 2J. That critter is bound to show up sooner or later.

It may have even been by, but got spooked by the flour board. Once it's there for a bit, it will get used to it and hopefully, walk on it.

[JenB]

Whoa, nothing like a working vacation! What a mom...

Moms are like that, yeah they are! ;o)

[SuziQ]

OK, I played. ;o)

Oh is the DVD for Hitchhikers out already???!!!

will have to go get it...I was surprised by the Zaphod character...he was fun!

[HairOfTheDog]

Yep - it's out..... I really enjoyed it too.... Zaphod was great. When I pictured him in my head while reading he was egotistical but really ugly - with the two-head thing going on. I like the way he was in the movie... like a surfer rock star Dubya!

[Alkhin]

LOL - I kinda got that impression myself, although I can definitely see the bill clinton in him (yick!) I remember seeing the BBC production and not only remember their attempt at SFX, but how incredibly flat his characterization was. The whole thing DRAGGED.

OH, and Alan Rickman was PERFECT as Marvin...I about had a cow in laughing at him. I had to watch it a second time to decide if I liked the girl who played Trillian, and the man who played Ford Prefect reminded me a lot of Danny John-Jules, who played Cat in Red Dwarf.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think it was well cast overall.... including Marvin ;~D

"OKAY, but I won't like it."
