Pratchett-ology

[thebitterguy]

So, last night was the third meeting for the Toronto Terry Pratchett meetup. I appear to have turned into the old man of the group (GUCKING FREIGHT), and am apparently the only one who's read all the Discworld books. The theme for the night was the Patrician, and we discussed his origins (both as a character and as a concept) and how much we like him.

Plans were also made for a holiday meeting to watch Hogfather (I'm gonna cook summat from Nanny Ogg's cookbook), and the next meeting will be a discussion of the Witches books because, hey, Halloween.

It was fun. It looks like we'll meet at Free Times cafe again next month, but I was angling to move over to Rancho Relaxo (the soup, man! I need the soup!).

Feh. Game is on tonight, which is good.

Cynra & I watched the pilot of The Mentalist last night. It was interesting, although I'd like a little more curtain pulling on occasion. How did he know the woman loved India, for example, or that his partner was the daughter of a football coach? The final scene was a bit much, too, but at least you knew why he was having trouble sleeping.

If we're lucky, Adult Swim themed Hoo'd Win today. Or possibly tomorrow.

Sounds like a fun group and all, Justin. Wish I lived in that neck of the woods, and could do these get togethers and discuss all things Pratchett. Keep up the reports on these meets, please. :)

Well, Meetup.com does make it pretty easy to find (and start) similar groups in your area.

Hmm, sounds like an interesting idea. May have to look into that. :)

Aw man, that's another reason to move back, for the Pratchett meetup.
Hey, you could make strawberry wobbler. :-)

It's a lot of fun, but you can also find one (or start one, if there isn't one) in Van with meetup.com.

I swear, they're not paying me to say that.

Yeah, I could start my own group on meetup in B.C.
But if we move back, I already have three people interested in doing paranormal investigations. :)
