RT@achewood Would The Pet Shop Boys be nice to have over for Thanksgiving, or would they be a pain in the ass? It's really hard to tell.

For one, it cannot be done without Peter Jones!
Two... I'm just sceptical. Depends who is adapting it I guess. Hopefully Michael Marshall Smith, or Neil Gaiman. They are the only two people I would let near an Adams book to adapt.

edit:
Dirk Maggs eh. OK... Hmmmmmmm.

The other thing I just thought of.
You cannot take off from where it ended at the start of LtUaE. They are going to have to be sympathetic towards the end of the Man in the Shack, or I will be pissed!

Hmmmmm... could be interesting.

I just picked up Don't Panic, Gaiman's new biography of Douglas Adams, at the library on Tuesday.  I haven't had a chance to read any of it yet since most of my literary time has been tied up with NaNoWriMo lately.

It's pretty good. I mean, as a biography of the Guide goes, it's very well researched and written, and it's just kind of, quite nice.
Some of the other scripts too, things like the Kamekaze pilot are great.
Well worth a read.

I have a copy of Don't Panic around here somewhere.  Great stuff.  I was both a Sandman and Hitchhiker's Guide fan, so having a somewhat meeting of the two was compelling to me.
