  1. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Arthur Dent’s Diary

  2. 1st Day After Destruction • Today has been the worst day of my live. First of all, people of the government’s construction department show up at my front door, wanting to tow my house down in order to build a bloody highway! I know its not some fancy shmancy mansion, but it is my home! And of course I had to do something about it and so I lied in front of the tow truck. Then my best friend Ford Perfect stops by and makes me go for a few drinks, and that is when I lost my home… Heh, you think that is the worst part of it? On that very day, aliens, yeah I know, alien! Come to decimate man kind. Luckily, well actually unluckily, Ford saved me. I wish I had just died. I am currently inside a UFO of some, uh, monster, I suppose. And all Ford can do to comfort me is to offer me some peanuts. I hope this day get better. Or at least not worse.

  3. Day 2 After Destruction • Today we have been captured by the vile Vogon, which apparently is the name of the monster. Anyways, the choice he gave us was to either listen to his poetry, or die. Of course I made the bad decision of listening to his poetry. At first I couldn’tunderstand a single word he said “Howl howl gargle howl garglle howl howl howl gargle sluurpuuuurgh… (Adams, 46)” until Ford put some kind of translation fish inside my ear, then I could understand everything he said. Ill just say that the words coming from Vogonis catastrophically disruptive to my ears. I hope tomorrow will not be as bad, since it certainly wont get better.

  4. Day 3 After Destruction • “This is terrific… Nelson’s Column has gone, McDonald’s has gone, all that’s left is me and the words Mostly Harmless. (Adams, 58)” Well this is great, I am going to die, I don’t even know if that is a good thing or bad thing anymore, but I live to believe that tomorrow will be not as bad. Any second I shall be flung into space and die 30 seconds later of asphyxiation. I hope a spaceship will come and rescue me. However “According to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the chances of getting picked up by another ship in those thirty seconds are two to the power of two hundred and seventy-six thousand, seven hundred and nine to one. (Adams, 61)”
