started watching Dirk Gently, it's good fun, but in S2 the whole "Dirk is sad and passive because everybody he's running into dies" thing gets really tedious. #tv #dirkgently

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (Dirk Gently Book 2) by Douglas Adams, which I *have* and *have read*. I didn't care a lot for the first one, but *this* one I liked a lot. I've given it out before.

I know it'd be extremely niche, but I want a #Mario64 #AMV with #GurrenLagann's song showcasing how to β€œDo the impossible, see the invisible, …, touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable,”. Maybe add a bit of #DirkGently's β€œeff the ineffable” in there somewhere. https://youtube.com/shorts/-Ncj7B7WA4M #pannenkoek2012

I would never have thought that the Electric Monk from Dirk Gently would turn out to be Buddhist.

A quotation from Douglas Adams

Solutions nearly always come from the direction you least expect, which means there’s no point trying to look in that direction because it won’t be coming from there.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
The Salmon of Doubt, Part 3 β€œAnd Everything,” β€œThe Salmon of Doubt,” ch. 5 (2002) [ed. Peter Guzzardi]

A quotation from Douglas Adams

He had a tremendous propensity for getting lost when driving. This was largely because of his β€œZen” method of navigation, which was simply to find any car that looked as if it knew where it was going and follow it. The results were more often surprising than successful, but he felt it was worth it for the sake of the few occasions when it was both.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
Dirk Gently, No. 2, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, ch. 4 (1988)
