So long and thanks for the fish.

I wish that song would get out of my head. If you've seen the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, you know what I'm talking about. Joe and I saw the movie yesterday. Not excellent, but still entertaining. It's been too long since I've read the book to remember how accurate it was or what was left out. Although, Joe did remind me of parts that were in the book (and the computer game...the OLD floppy disk game). For example, the part where Arthur has to confront some stupid monster and he can get past it by placing the towel over his head.

Our wonderful, adventurous Linda came and spent the night at our house last night. She's taking off for the Smokey Mountains next week to do algae research for her masters program. Since some of her research includes hauling some pretty heavy duty experiment equipment down a river and up a trail, her advisor suggested she try to rent a llama. I guess there are a lot of available llamas in the area. Just the idea of loading a llama on to a boat and trucking it down the river is fantastic and hilarious. Of course she's promised to send photos if and when this occurs.
