Monday in May.... Well, it was a busy weekend. Friday night, Dave and I went to see The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, which was... ok, but I think I'm jaded because of the BBC tape I have of the 13 part series made years ago. One of the odd things is, there were small parts of the movie I was reciting right along with the movie, that are literally copied from the TV series. Another surprise, was a cameo appearance (not a speaking role) of the original Marvin robot! The movie was put together haphazardly, jumping from place to place with little explanation, and lacking much of the best parts of the TV series like The Restaurant at the End of the Universe part. Casting was kinda bad too, with the exception of Arthur Dent, and Slartibartfast. The actors playing Ford Prefect and Zaphod Beeblebrox weren't all that good. Again, maybe if I hadn't seen the TV series, I'd feel differently. DON'T PANIC! I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5. Saturday, I went to a computer show with my son, and another friend, got some RAM for my home PC, got home and installed that, then got a new battery for my lawn tractor and installed it. We went out to dinner with our friends Ray and Debbie Saturday night, and had a great time. Sunday, was the usual "go to see mom and dad" kinda thing, then took a ride with my daughter to see our travel agent, as she had some things to give her. Other than that, it was a nice, quiet, uneventful weekend. And now, on to the news: How can this "runaway bride", NOT be charged? She had 600 people coming to her wedding, 14 bridesmaids and groomsmen, and she runs away just before the wedding! WHAT AN IDIOT! PUT HER IN JAIL!
