Omens, good.

Thanks to a wonderfully geeky transfer student, I was loaned a well-worn copy of Good Omens this weekend. I’ve been urged by Ben to try out Terry Pratchett, but something about the student’s enthusiastic offering of his book made me break down and read it. Though it’s actually by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, it should count toward Ben’s column, no? For a quick little read, I found it charming. Fortunately, I was able to discard the environmental junk and focus on the humor. I’m lucky that way. I’ll seriously consider reading Hitchhiker’s Guide at some point.

Two more British familial castings I knew nothing about: Lupin (HP) is married to with Chuck (PD). Wow! Also? The Doctor’s daughter, IS The (Fifth) Doctor’s daughter. *head spins*

Hurray for Election Day, even if I have no need of primaries. Being a republican in a democrat state gives me nothing more than a day off work; which I’ll take. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Oh, and the day is made all the better by the SG-1 marathon (of sorts) on Sci-Fi!

  1. Yay, glad you liked it. :clap:
    And the fact that it’s by Neil & Terry means it counts twice in my column. ๐Ÿ˜›

  2. Woah … there _is_ such a thing as a Republican geek. I’m shocked, and a little disappointed.

    And by the way, Lupin-actor-guy and Chuck-actor-gal aren’t actually married.

  3. Thanks, Ben! :clown:
    Other person: Your disappointment is, um, noted. I’ll correct the bit about the couple…thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚
