During the previews before the Hitch Hiker's Guide was a movie that had some youngish girl kicking everybody's ass. Do any of you know which movie that is? Neither of us can recall what it was, and we both wanted to see it.

If you love me, you'll find a picture of Susan Sheridan for me.

I swear, those purple aliens were about to get the best of me. There i was, tied up, gagged, and drugged, with a group of purple scientists standing over me, examinging my freckled birthmark, when i heard one of them[1] comment about my pancreas. Apparently they were going to take it because i couldn't find anyone to talk to this late at night. but ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nymphydia saved my life, or at least my pancreas. She was online and willing to listen to my psychotic drivel. She's cute and likes steak, but does she know what a pan-galactic gargleblaster is? Hrm...
[1] I happen to speak Barnardian, the language spoken by most races of beings from the Barnard Star system, or at least what we call it.

This the 1981 BBC television mini-series, released on DVD. It probably has some extra features on it, but the actual show isn't some new version or anything.
pre-order it on Amazon.com

| 09:33 pm - holy shit my christ it's cold
Actually it's not that cold. But I just woke up and am mostly naked, so it feels like I've been rolling around on Amalthea. And I'm melodramatic on occasion. So I went upstairs to warm up some jambalaya for breakfast (I'm a southern boy, after all) and accidentally caught part of this new Fear Factor show. It's almost as stupidly mindless as Survivor. At least I got to watch a rather large and well built black man land on the side of a boat with his gut and go bouncing across the water.
My coworker and fellow night shifter is a middle age christian woman. We get along about as well as you might think. The other night one of my semi-regulars came in for gas. She is in her early 30s. She is rather attractive. She works at the local strip club as a cashier. She does this naked. Unfortunately I'm talking about her work, not her shopping. Anyway, we're talking about the fact that the strip club and the smut emporium are having trouble staying open due to the usual attempts by various factions trying to close them. My coworker mentions that one time she was walking past the porn shop and a voice popped into her head, spouting some bible verse, and told her to go inside and recite it to the employees inside. The customer says "you know, they can reverse the brainwashing." This was, as you may expect, not well received by my coworker. I, on the other hand, was torn between laughing my ass off and sighing, because I know I'll have to hear about it the rest of the night.
So anyway, I'm going to be late if I don't get a move on.

| 06:10 am - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy character affinity quiz.
You have demonstrated a strong affinity for the character Ford Prefect.
This implies, among other things, that you have a great love of alcohol (if not, a matching tolerance for its affects), a creative mind (although your research skills may be a little lacking) and the extraordinary ability to travel the galaxy on only thirty altarian dollars per day (slightly more if you actually go to Ursa Minor Beta). Loyal to - and protective of - your friends (if not the universe) and extremely generous to those you admire (even if you have no taste in cars), you are well liked by all (even if you are almost immediately annoying). You are the froodiest.
Some words of advice: Your towel. Don't Leave Home Without It.
Take it here.
