You turned 40? So now I am like wtf at the passage of time, because according to my recollection you were in grad school like 12 minutes ago. (no, I know it was years, because it was LJ and like, we moved to years that started 201 somewhat after the LJ implosions and all, but aaaa). Also happy birthday, and I hope you had soup and decongestants.
RIGHT? It feels like it just happened. But here’s how bananas time is: I was already out of grad school TWELVE YEARS ago. Twelve years ago was 2007 and I got my MA in 2005.

She looks like you just THREW that blanket on her, poor thing! :D (also, I love your descriptions. They're so much fun to read.)
She crawled under it all by herself! One of her great passions is Cilmbing Under The Blanket.

As someone who also disliked the adaption of hogfather, going postal was rather good. They cut some of the subtext, of course, and shifted some of the dialogue, but it was really enjoyable all the same! But as a watch fan, I am going to do the same thing I did with good omens, which is wait until a ton of fellow Pratchett fans have fallen on the sword and then watch it or not based on their opinions.
Well, I would expect a media adaptation to have to do some compressing, but it’s nice to know they probably kept the spirit of Going Postal. I’ll have to acquire a copy and watch it at some point soon.
It would be hilarious if hating the very idea of this show drove me to re-read all the Watch books and I bounced back into Discworld fandom. It would be like living my life in reverse.

Peanut. Tiny polka dotty peanut. It was 78 degrees today. You’re gonna be okay, baby.
There is nothing she likes better than being slightly hotter than any human being would find comfortable. The hours she has spent in the windowsill, huddled against the hot glass....
