Working late again tonight, extra hours for extra moneys. Doing Friday evenings isn't too bad, usually, since I can go home and still have the whole weekend to myself. Saturdays means coming in for an extra day, not so good.
I listened to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for about the 893659127th time last night as I was coding![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
trek_news. This time round I decided that I love Arthur and the way Simon Jones plays him most of all: his delivery of lines like "Ford, what's this fish doing in my ear?" is fab. I also love the bit in the TV series when the waiter says "Actually, sir, your monkey has got it right" and his face goes from "AHA!" to "...hey!" in the background. The sequence about where, exactly, the plans are on display is my favourite, I think (quoted from memory, apologies for any mistakes):

Currently I am reading The Night Watch, which is excellent so far. It's giving me that lovely feeling that I get when I'm reading something very good which is also completely new to me. Hopefully it will not suddenly go downhill in a distressing fashion. Speaking of excellent books, recently![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_smut_fairy lent me China Mievile's The Scar. Very well-written, incredibly inventive and imaginative - brilliant. I absolutely loved the main character, Bellis. Highly recommended: it got better and better the more I read of it.

I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.
Prosser: That's the display department.
Arthur: With a torch.
Prosser: The... lights had probably gone.
Arthur: So had the stairs.
Prosser: But you found the plans?
Arthur: Oh yes. They were 'on display' at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'. Have you ever thought about going into advertising?
