To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.

Just finished watching part 2 of the Hogfather movie/miniseries/whatchamacallit. I think it's pretty close to being the best sort of film interpretation you're going to get from one of Pratchett's books. :D I was actually impressed by how much they left in, and I could see the logic behind what they left out (although I will naturally mourn the loss of the Librarian due to cutting out subplots and the CGI that would have been required). They kept my favorite line, in the subject, which comes from a discussion of what it means to be human.

Anyway ... HO. HO. HO.

I got the Hogfather book in my stocking when it came out in paperback, and spent Christmas morning reading it. Now I reallyreallyreally want to reread it, but have missed all deadlines to get it sent over here before Christmas. Woe. *weeps for the tragedy* I suppose I'll have to scour YouTube for this movie thingy version instead, which I only heard about for the first time yesterday. I loved the animated adaptations of Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters from years ago though, even though they weren't the most sophisticated thing ever.

Is the University cut out altogether? I'd hate to lose Hex and its wishlist.

Oh, thank you thank you thank you! I didn't know such a thing existed!

Now I will find it. Oh, yes I will.

When will someone do something good with Brust? That's what I want to know.
