New Years resolutions from an angel and a demon

Good OmensHarperCollins is apparently republishing "Good Omens" again — and good for them, as it remains one of my favorite books of all time — and has asked authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett to write resolutions for the book's protagonists, demon Crowley and the angelic Aziraphale.

Crowley's 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."

  • Seriously, over 1300 words, with annotations, to insist that I don't mind having books or movies spoiled for me? Oddly, I still do.
  • Yet another anti-spoiler argument that insists everyone must enjoy artistic works exactly the same way, always. http://t.co/X3zwZ0BJ
  • Am I allowed to commit 3 felonies today or just 2? I haven't kept up on the latest legislative changes.
  • I'd be more worried about avoiding an ironic death today, but it's not a round-number birthday for me so it's cool.
