I think it's pretty cool that Woohoo Hooniversity (in Mario and Luigi, of course) has a center for block research, where you can find blocks from different Mario games. The enemies in the Hooniversity include those different-colored germs from Dr. Mario. You have to change all of the viruses on the screen to the same color to defeat them.

I always write about video games while I'm playing them, and I doubt anyone is interested. Oh, well.

Speaking of Mario, I wonder if anyone has ever tried to draw a complete map of the Mushroom World. I know the games aren't always consistent with respect to the various lands Mario visits, but, if someone has actually managed to draw a reasonably accurate map of Springfield, then anything is possible.

I took a quiz along these lines before, but I don't think it was the same one. Besides, I got a different result this time. (I got Marvin last time.)

Ford Prefect: An alien researcher for the HHGTTG,
you got stuck on Earth for 15 years. You're a
good person, but kind of boring.

Which HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

I hope that Hitchhiker's Guide movie that's supposed to be coming out will be good. I still want to hear the radio show that started it all. Amazon offers this, which is an MP3 CD. The reviews give the impression that the sound quality isn't very good, but I can't find any other recordings of the radio program on Amazon. I also want to see the TV series, but not as much as I want to hear the radio show.

To finish up this entry, I saw this in

zimbra1006's journal, and I guess I'm required by law to put it in mine.

If there is at least one person in your life who you consider a close friend, and who you would not have met without being part of an online fandom, post this sentence in your journal.
