- In FAIL news, I managed to leave my freezer door open on Sunday night and didn't notice until yesterday morning, cue throwing out a lot of stuff. ARGH SO STUPID.

- Cannot stop listening to Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes around". Please send help.

- I do not like the new facebook, it is like the old facebook only wider and I can't find anything, despite switching over a few weeks ago to get used to it. And when I did find my news feed, all my status updates were in massive font, it was most off-putting. Harumph.

- Eurovision bringing back juries! It probably won't make a huge difference but anything which makes the voting even marginally less predictable is good.

- Eoin Colfer writing new Hitchhiker's book. Oh dear, I feel terribly reactionary saying this but I don't think it's a good idea. It might be different if it was a really long series or if Mostly Harmless had ended on a cliffhanger, but... I really love the books (apart from Mostly Harmless, and of course they are not a patch on the radio versions) and even I'm not crying out for another installment. On the other hand, Eoin Colfer's not a terrible choice to write it </damning with faint praise> and as long as he doesn't remove half the jokes in favour of romance like what the film did it'll probably be fine.

*sends help immediately* :P

I think the extra HH book is pointless - why bother after all this time??

Regarding the freezer door, ouch! *hugs*

I have heard there is a way to switch back to the old Facebook, though I don't know it off-hand. You might be able to look it up, though.

New Facebook blows, I agree. I can't find my Scramble games easily. That's...the one thing I really care about on FB, that and photos. ;)

Right now, I'm being excited about the new Hitchhiker book. Because Douglas Adams had wanted to write a sixth one anyway (he was going to turn The Salmon of Doubt into it from a Dirk Gently book), so I don't actually feel like advantage is being taken. I'm hoping his sense of humor will be stayed true to; I know there are other writers capable of it.

Technically, Mostly Harmless could've been an implied cliffhanger. There was a Vogon ship present, they could've hitchhiked last minute with the kitchen staff again. XD

*prays the thing is better than So Long And Thanks for All the Fish* Only one of the bunch I haven't liked. ...except Ford. Bless him for helping me through it.

I didn't know that about the Salmon of Doubt - that's actually making me feel slightly more optimistic! I think the problem is that I liked each book slightly less than the one before... oh well, if it is good, then yay; if not, I'll just pretend it didn't happen! :)

It's so slow, too! The only change I really would have liked - allowing html in wall posts and discussion boards - they haven't done. *pokes new facebook disgruntledly*

[usuallyhats]

Oh cool, thanks! I will have to investigate that.

*hugs back* If only I were slightly less incompetent!

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I expect most of us have done it - or something similar!

... Another HH book? What the hell is the point? D:

[usuallyhats]

I don't know! If it's good, then yay, I suppose. But it seems a little random.
