Let me start by saying I was entertained by the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy film. I do hope that it doesn't become more well-known than the books, because to be fair it does cut out a lot of parts of it unnecessarily - some lines are recognisable at first, then give up before they reach the end. However, I think it's safe to say that I think the fact that it's unlike the books will be common knowledge, and hopefully this will even increase their popularity.

I played DDR for the first time in ages last night after meeting gr33bo at the cinema. The trouble is that since the last time I was in the Union, Andy and one of his friends "Nade" have got on to the high scores ahead of me. Apparently Nade is in the DDR UK team, of which I wasn't actually aware. I'm fairly certain that Andy's own scores were just put in in his name - nevertheless, the gauntlet has been thrown down. Or maybe some sort of iron boot, in this case.

On coming back to my room this morning I decided to do something about my USB adaptor - I noticed something was up with it yesterday, when one of the buttons was being detected as continually held down. By this afternoon, the infection had spread to two other buttons as well, and it was definitely a controller problem rather than the adaptor because my ~~dance pad~~ other controller still worked fine. So being adventurous and foolish, I decided to open it up and have a look.
