Neil Gaiman on Good Omens

Crowley and Aziraphale's 2006 New Year's resolutions
Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett present New Year's resolutions of the demon Crowley and the angelic Aziraphale — characters in Good Omens, publishing in February 2006...

Crowley:
Resolution #1: I must accept that Super-Gluing valuable coins to the sidewalk and then watching events from a nearby café is not proper demonic activity.

Resolution #2: The same applies to rearranging the letters on wayside pulpits.

Resolution #3: Try to come up with something as good as cell phone ringtones, following one last stab at convincing Downstairs that cell phone ringtones are right up there in the whole Human Misery stakes. And iPods. Has anybody Down There even said thank you for iPods? Or "Googling yourself?" Frankly, I deserve some kind of award for "Googling yourself."

Resolution #4: I must encourage greedy people to use the term, "Low-hanging fruit," because that's just like old times.

Resolution #5: This year, I will get a desk near the window.

Resolution #6: I will try to understand why Hell is a no-smoking area. I just think it's ridiculous having to stand around outside the gates, that's all.

Resolution #7: On the orders of Head Office I will encourage the belief in Intelligent Design, because it upsets everyone.

Resolution #8: Stop Googling myself.

Aziraphale:
Resolution #1: Spread peace and love and glad tidings of great joy throughout the world. Also try to get out more.

Resolution #2: I will be charitable to people who use the term "core values," however difficult this may be.

Resolution #3: Notwithstanding Resolution #2 (above), I will redouble my efforts to have the utterance of the phrase "core values" classified as a deadly sin. I believe Himself is with me on this one.

Resolution #4: I will try to be nicer to the customers. They want to buy books; I want to sell them. It can't be that hard. (Memo to self: Regular opening hours? Mark prices on books?)

Resolution #5: I will try to be polite to Gabriel, no matter what the provocation.

Resolution #6: Find out exactly what an "Internet" is.

Resolution #7: Really must resume dancing lessons. Learn the "Galloping Major," the "Gay Gordons," the "Mashed Potatoes." Possibly even the "Twist"?

Resolution #8: Thwart Infernal Wiles (ongoing).

Resolution #9: I will try to understand why Heaven is a non-smoking area.

Resolution #10: On the orders of Head Office I will encourage the belief in Intelligent Design – despite the fact that the human airway crosses the digestive tract. Who thought that was intelligent?

Resolution #11: Feed the ducks.

...Really Cool People.

Must. Stop. Googling. Self.

Fucking Craddock's creepy :s.

Lo terminé de leer hace diez minutos. Aaaaall 370+ pages of it.

Liked it.

It's a different kind of horror than King...and it works, dammit.

I miss Angus and Bon :(.

Creo que me voy a dormir....en un rato más.

El cuerpo humano no necesita dormir TODOS los días.

Heart-Shaped Box

(...No, not that box.)

Ayer me llegó un cupón a mi correo electrónico de 30% de descuento para un artículo, cortesía de Borders. Esa misma mañana, había pensado en comprarme (finalmente, después de tanta vuelta) Heart-Shaped Box, de Joe Hill (sin saber exactamente qué esperar, a pesar y/o porque es hijo de Stephen King), porque lo vi a 20% de descuento en la tienda... pero, por cosas del destino (o mi extraño modus operandi), a pesar de que no sé cuando en mis 22 años de vida decidí que los romances trillados de esta corte no eran para mí, terminé decidiéndome por un libro que surgió de la nada (junto al otro) acerca del hijo ilegítimo del Rey Arturo, Mordred (interesante lectura, de cualquier modo), so...

Para otra ocasión sería el señor Hill.

Hoy regresé, cupón en mano.. más otro 10% al que me da derecho mi membresía...

..Total, se las enchoré con buen cacho :D.


Lo empecé a hojear a medio día, curioseando...


...y ya voy en la página 186.


...Uh-ohz :(.

We'z goin to Dizneyland!! Yayz!!

Sophie's (Messed Up) World

Peer Pressure and Cults and Viceversa

Ahora de puritittitita casualidad me encontré el libro de "El Mundo de Sofía" casi a la salida de Borders..en inglés, ca'on :o.

Ya, me lo llevo, toda feliz porque también encontré Wolves of the Calla de S. King en paperback.

Mientras espero a mi amá en el carro, empiezo a leer a Sofía, porque toooooodo el maldito mundo parece que ya la leyó y está fascinado con ella.. meeeeenos la inculta de yo.



O Sophie está medio..'tard....
