Scrambled eggs rock

[mousme]

I made scrambled eggs for the first time in forever. Mine are always infinitely better than the ones in restaurants, because they're made the same way, or in a way that's virtually identical, and then I get to eat them hot. Heat makes all the difference.

Also, I don't cook mine until they're so dry they crumble.

When I go to restaurants, I usually order a kind of egg I can't readily make at home. Usually poached or over-easy.

Anyway, enough about eggs. Even though they are the food of the gods. (Oh, wait, that's ambrosia...)

The wedding was fantastic. The ceremony was reasonably short, but fraught with emotion (all the girls were ordered not to cry, although that didn't work too well), and the reception afterward was filled with dancing and laughter and good things.

In-between I managed to slip away for about two and a half hours to the 11th anniversary of the Bolo Club, where I do my line dancing. Sadly I had to leave before the dancing started in order to get to the wedding reception, but I still had a very nice time, and hobnobbed with all my dancing pals.

In other words, I had a busy day, especially since I'd only got to bed at about 2:30 in the morning (volunteering at Bolo).

I'm sorry I didn't announce brunch in my LJ this week. I wasn't sure at what time the wedding was supposed to be, and so I didn't want people thinking I'd be at brunch if it turned out I was going to be at a wedding instead.

However, and this should be carefully noted: brunch goes on as always on Saturdays, regardless of my presence. Really, unless for some reason I post that it's been cancelled, the default is that brunch is taking place on Saturday at 10:30.

So this time it was just me and miseri, rambling on at length about Terry Pratchett and T. Coraghessan Boyle (two of my favourite authors, even though I only really discovered Pratchett this week. Is it one "t" or two? I can't be bothered to go check right now. :P)

I am posting like a mad posting thing to Bluebook. A whole bunch of NPCs have taken over my brain and are clamouring for me to write about them.

Two T's... I can never remember either

I've been reading a bit of Pratchett recently!

I wonder whether "The Colour of Magic" or something will be the next big film after Hitchhiker's Guide...

I think something like Small Gods or Pyramids would be better. The early stuff is not as cool, and the stand alones would probably be easier to handle. I mean, you don't want to commiitt yourself to making too many Discworld films, or you'd go mad :o

Pyramids might work. Small Gods, as I said in another comment, would be too hard to convey conceptually speaking, I think. Too much religion talk. ;)

It'd be hard to pull off convincingly, I think. There are so many concepts that are really very abstract that I think it would be hard to convey them on film. The world on the back of four elephants and a turtle? Death?

I'm not sure it would work. It'd be cool if someone could find a way to make it work, though. :)

Am *so* looking forward to The Chronicles of Narnia. Is it just The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe that they're doing, or are they planning more, do you know?

Oh, cool! LJ has a new delete comment process thingy. ^_^

Re the elephants and turtle: there are already animated versions of some of the Diskworld stuff; the Guild had a movie night to show some of them. The elephants and turtle were in the beginning sequences, and they were computer-generated -- which would be very much in the spirit of HGttG (the old BBC series, anyway -- haven't seen the movie yet!).

Re other Narnia books: Dunno. It may depend on how well this one does. OTOH, I don't think they made any animated versions of the other books either.

I want them to do Reaper Man or Witches Abroad. Sweet Mother of GOD can you see those on the big screen!
