Randomness - I received a package from Amazon today, and it came in a Good Omens themed box, complete with photos of Crowley and Aziraphale on the side panels. Very nifty.
Yeah. He's my hero.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Finally watched the vid linked upthread. Lovely

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
We finished Good Omens tonight. I'll just reiterate: that was DELIGHTFUL. Even better than I had hoped. And I need to buy some Queen albums.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I finished my first Good Omens watch, and now I'm ready to watch it again without my changes-from-the-book nitpicking goggles on. (Does anyone else do this with adaptations when you're really familiar with the source material? One time through as an adaptation, then a second pass to just appreciate the new thing for what it is.)

Sometimes I skip the second pass part, as in that "adaptation" of A Wizard of Earthsea the Sci-Fi network made some years back, or Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy.

Even though Tim never really agrees with me when I point out slashy subtext* in media (he kind of agrees on Steve/Bucky, which is a HUGE concession on his part), after we watched the last episode last night, *he* was the one who turned to me and said "I REALLY hope there are people at Pride cosplaying as Crowley and Aziraphale." Awwwww YISSSS.
*(Though I wouldn't call Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship "subtext." I'd call it the whole damn text and then some.)
(Tim could totally cosplay Crowley, because he has the hair for certain time periods, he has the leather pants, and -- I promise this is true -- he has Crowley's walk down cold, have mercy.)

Thrive to spite them
I started watching the vid, even though we haven't watched episode 6 yet and had to stop. It looks good but I can't watch vids where the source audio is left in because I have trouble processing the singing and the speaking.
Plus I think a good vid doesn't need the dialogue to tell the story

I don't know that this is the best thing ever. But it's definitely the best thing I've read today. Thousands are petitioning for Netflix to cancel Good Omens. As Gaiman said, nobody tell them, OK? [link]

Oh. My. God.
That's beautiful.
