Four days of...
Heh. I feel like a slight spoilsport, but this year's Pratchett adaptation just isn't... grabbing me, thus far. I never managed to finish Colour of Magic when I tried reading it way back when, and I've spent the last half hour with it on in the background, mainly. It does look beautiful, and it's faintly amusing every few lines, but... just not enough. Hogfather had a lot more... pizzaz to it, and all I've done so far this time is chuckle at the Pratchett cameo right at the start. Shall have to start trying to read the books, yet again, and actually finish one this time, methinks...
Elsewhere.. Demon Kitten managed to give herself a nasty post-op kitty hernia this week, involving many trips to the vets and what is going to be a delightful scar she can show off to her kitty friends... All because she won't sit bloody still. Leaping about like a demented grasshopper is not advisable post major surgery, but kitty brain can't quite compute that. So far she's been subjected to sleeping in a big scary cage at night wearing a horrible plastic ruff, and trailed round the house at all other times to stop her gnawing on the humungous external stitches from the second repair op... All these things do not a happy kitty make, funnily enough.
I also made easter sugar cookies, which were... interesting. Slightly charred, for the first couple, and the icing never quite did work out, but hey, they're getting eaten! And also meant I didn't have to buy easter eggs for anyone this year, go figure. Now I have to go watch Ladies Detective Agency (which looks gorgeous from what I've seen so far) and mourn the fact that it's the last Anthony Minghella work we'll see. So sad...
