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.
