Or The Girl Takes Pictures.
The move to London has awakened so many things in my life/head/heart/well you got the idea, and one of them is the pleasure of taking pictures. It’s back, I take loads of pictures at the moment. And just to keep things a little bit seperated, and not to mess up this weblog too much, I have decided to create a seperate photoblog for them. And doing it like this I can upload somewhat larger versions of the pictures too.
An evening or two fiddling with WordPress and a modified version of a very clean and nearly naked template usable for a photoblog was more or less what I needed to get started. There are still some things I need to finetune, and want to implement, but I think it is good enough to open the doors for the public.
Expect loads of underground/tube pictures (I am a hopeless tube addict), expect Elephants (oh you knew that already), expect spaceships, and expect all the other things I come across while exploring this beautiful city. Not more than one picture a day though, and no text just pictures.
Well, visit the Photoblog if you like. And feel free to take one of the pan galactic gargle blasters on your way in. Just be careful with them.(*)
(*) The Guide has this to say about the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster : The effect of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you …
Cool. But hey: https://www.thegirlinthecafe.com/photoblog/2006/05/10/the-da-vinci-tube/
I didn’t know there was a Sith in that Tom Hanks movie?
The reference to the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster reminded me of the old dos text adventure version af the Guide. Does anybody know if a playable version stille exists?
@George : Well he sure looks like one, but he is an albino munk. (It’s Paul Bettany by the way)
@Stig: I have never heard of it before. But if it still exists I’m sure you can find it on the net somewhere.
The game was there for sure, actually quite easy to find in an online version:

Spiced up with a bit of graphics… “Put babelfish in ear” and try it out for a trip across the galaxy and back to 1984 style text adventures.
Oh wow !! That is so great, I hadn’t seen it before. There goes another night of sleep …
