You're Asian, you must be smart, right?

The movie was good. I was entertained by the whole thing though the story was different from that of the book in some ways. This seems reasonable though since Adams has introduced different characters and change importance of characters in each incarnation of his novel/radioshow, so whatev'. One thing did bother me more than mildly though; the movie did seem a bit too involved in trying to create some romance between Arthur and Trillian. As someone who has read the series, Trillian had never been more than a passing interest for Arthur and never some sort of true love of his. As such, it just seems weird to try and force anything between them, since Arthur's actual love was demolished along with the Earth. Am I being too nerdy now? I think I'll stop.

Anyhoo, I am now re-reading the book (anthology), which is helping me out in terms of getting over a right shitty previous few weeks. There isn't too much more to say than that the books are just great. I am enjoying them quite thoroughly for somewhere between the third and umpteenth time, and still there are things I find that time has mucked up such that I don't know exactly what's going to happen in some parts.
I'm now at the portion where he first speaks with Fenny in the train station. I make note of this because I've read this chapter many a time whilst reading the novels, and for the first time this chapter has actually been noteworthy to me. Weird how experience does that to you. So, I will leave you with the lines that so made me think about things past. I would highly recommend to anyone that they should read the series, I will gladly loan it to anyone who promises they won't destroy my copy.

"Perhaps," she added, "it wouldn't have gone so well if it wasn't for her." She gave a wry smile and dropped her hair forward over her face again.

It was perfectly true.

He had to admit it was perfectly true.
