Good news, coming right up!

I never thought finding good news would be so hard. Everywhere I looked it’s only Japan, Libya and the prices getting sky-high. When I wanted to find something nice about things of my interest, all of the articles were outdated. And a girl finding a screw in her Happy Meal didn’t turn out to be very positive after all because of the choking hazard. It all reminded me of this song by Black Eyed Peas ‘Where is the love?’ where they sing:

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

etc.

But, lo! I have found a very positive news article that got me pretty excited.

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld will get its own mystery series! And the focus of these series will be one of my favorite groups from Discworld novels – the City Watch- which means Sam Vimes, Carrot Ironfoundersson, Angua, Colon, Nobby and other incredible Discworld characters in a brand new series that could probably be entitled: ‘CSI: Ankh-Morpork’.

It’s not clear when the series would be aired, let alone filmed but I can’t wait to see it. As for now the writing staff has been chosen – it includes Terry Jones (Monty Python) and Gavin Scott (Small Soldiers).

I certainly hope the series will be a success. And now I will quote sir Terry’s words of encouragement to one of the writers: ‘Don’t bugger it up!’

I think the reason why I chose this article is pretty clear – it’s my undying love for the Discworld :) And I decided it was definitely more positive than Pratchett’s donating £10.000 to a reward that will be given to anyone to provide any information about guys who shot 31 swans in Somerset. Honestly, what kind of a man could do such a horrible thing?? I hope Anoia, Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers, will get them so that they will never be able to open their damn drawers again!

And there goes the good mood. To cheer you up, I’m putting a dancing Yoda here :D

Oh, I almost forgot. The links to the articles can be found below:
