Jun. 8th, 2005 04:31 amI watched my dvds of Weird Sisters and Soul Music this last week. It makes me wish there was a live action full-budge movie based on one of Terry Pratchett's books. In recent years we've had Lord of the Rings, the Harry Potter franchise, the Series of Unfortunate Events movie, Hitchhiker's Guide, and coming up The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. When is someone going to realize that a Pratchett novel might make a very funny movie, provided you don't screw it up horribly of course?
Tom started asking me who would play Nanny Ogg and who would play Granny Weatherwax, etc., but I'm no good at those sort of guessing games. I don't follow Hollywood well enough to know who might make a good Granny Weatherwax.
Last Thursday my comic shop guy lent to me a cd by a woman who calls herself M.I.A. She's a rap singer from Sri Lanka, if I remember correctly, living in the UK right now I guess. Anyway, Sri Lankan rap music. Interesting. I figured I should let Sky hear it. I popped it into my car stereo and listened to it on the way to work, and then I showed it to Cornelius. He kept it, and I thought, well, he might listen to it before he leaves (usually I get there at 4pm, he leaves at 5pm). But he didn't listen to it, he just stuck it in his drawer. I was thinking, you know, I didn't really plan to lend it to him, it's not mine to begin with and I'd only had it for a few hours. But then I thought, well, he'll listen to it tomorrow. So I let him keep it overnight.
The next day when I got there I asked if he'd listened to it and he said no. And I should have just asked for it back, but I didn't. Then he went home. I checked his drawer, but it wasnt' there anymore, he'd taken it home with him for the weekend.
On Monday he was gone when I got to work, but the cd was in my top drawer, so apparently he'd listened to it and I got it back. On Tuesday he was gone again when I got to work -- so I still don't know what he thought about it.
