Hi.

Well, looks like I'm once again broadcasting LIVE from the Mira Costa library! Ok, today is the 5th consecutive day that I've had the song "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!" stuck in my head. The song is the theme song to the new Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie. A bunch of us at edwards made it a point to memorize this song (since we hear it multiple times throughout the day when the movie lets out), and now that I know most of the lyrics, it's become even more infectious. Of course, the fact that I've seen it twice since friday (and that I'm going to see it a third time today after school, and a 4th if Jessica is sick and can't come today, and possibly a 5th if anyone of my other friends like Pohl wants to come with me) probably isn't helping. "So long and thanks for all the fish! So sad that it should come to this! We tried to warn you all but, oh dear... You may not share our intellect, which may explain your disrespect, for all the natural wonders that grow around you... SO LONG SO LONG and thanks....for all the fish!"
Oh yeah, what did I think of this movie? Well, isn't it obvious?

Go see hitchhikers, RIGHT NOW.

I should also add this, for anyone interesting in the multiple new additions coming to Disneyland's Tomorrowland within the next three years:

"The real reason that the Imagineers are reportedly looking into bringing back the PeopleMover is that -- what with all of the new Tomorrowland shows that have either already been built (I.E. "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster"), have yet to be officially announced (I.E. Space Mountain's new night-time only soundtrack, "Rockit Mountain"), are still in the process of being constructed (I.E. The new "Finding Nemo" version of the Subs) and/or are moving rather swiftly through WDI's developmental process (I.E. "Star Tours II" and the "Cars" -based retheming of Disneyland's Autopia) ... Well, the Imagineers are anticipating that by 2008, Disneyland 's Tomorrowland is going to have some very serious traffic problems. With most of the park's guests trying to cram their way into this very small portion of Disneyland in order to sample all of the new rides & shows.
So -- obviously -- some people-eating attraction have to be quickly added to this side of the theme park so that Disneyland can then better handle all of these additional bodies. So among the ideas that are currently being kicked around is -- yes -- bringing the PeopleMover back on line. As well as removing the Astro Orbitor from its current position at the entrance to Tomorrowland (to make it easier for guests to get into this part of the park) and then placing this ride on top of the PM's old loading station.
Mind you, this isn't the only idea that WDI currently has in the works. I think all you Douglas Adams fans out there will be pleased to hear that -- should the movie version of "
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" prove to be a hit (More importantly, inspire a sequel or two) -- that the Imagineers would then like to replace "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" with a brand new "Hitchhikers" inspired 3D movie.
Now I would imagine that even Marvin the paranoid android couldn't be depressed about news like that ..."
