Bournemouth

Bournemouth, is still the same after all these years, and that's almost thirty, admittedly it's not quite the same either.

Shadow in the sunlight

See I do get outside occasionally.

Books (Damn that George)

1. Total number of books I have owned.

Lots, but not as many as I thought I would've by now. Far too many are by the same authors and I have read far too much SF.

2. The last book I bought & 3. The last book I read. (I've updated this one, I read it over the last week 07/06/05)

Cycling to work doesn't give me as much time to read, besides I've got Spanish homework to read now, but I'm not counting that as a book.

4. Five books that mean a lot to me

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, This book has had far too much of an influence on me, far too much, but I wouldn't be who I am without it.


The Owl Who was afraid of the Dark, My favourite bedtime story as a child, or at least I like to think it was, it probably was something else but my memory's not fact, they just a personal version of my past.


The Songs of Distant Earth, Arthur C Clarke actually has stuff in his books that's like real science. I just loved this story when I read it, I didn't know he could be so sentimental. The four Rama books are damn good too.


Armageddon the Musical, Robert Rankin has written a lot of books, and tends to repeat himself so once you've read three or so you've read them all. The Armageddon trilogy had me on the floor laughing first time I read them, but second time it just wasn't that funny, very much unlike Douglas Adams who always makes me laugh.


The London A to Z, Where would I be without it. Lost probably, although that's up north I think.

5. Tag 5 people.

Don't want to... but thank you for the meme George.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I've seen the film four times now, the third was with this bunch from Floor 42. Seeing it was a strangely emotional experience, I just grin and grin everytime, whether or not it's the movie Douglas would have made is by the by, it was made by people who wanted to pay tribute to him and do the best they could, and they did. It's a wonderful lovely film that made me laugh, cry and feel all warm inside.
