1. I'm remembering what I didn't like about Good Omens -- the novel. Basically what worked was Arizaphane and Crowley, what doesn't quite work is the rest of it. I'm on episode 5, and I want to smack Gaiman. The world is ending, and we're wasting time watching a nerdy computer geek boink a pretty witch. The whole Armageddon storyline didn't work for me. But, I adore Crowley and Arisphane.

Good Omens is basically Waiting for Godot meets Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by way of The Good Place, with the pluses and minuses of all three. The metaphysical bit is great. Oh and it has a great Queen soundtrack courtesy of Crowely.

And, let's face it? I'm in it for Crowely and Arizaphal's metaphysical discussions, and the Queen soundtrack. Also the Edward Goresque credits....

Great cast though.

2. Overheard one of my co-workers on the phone with her son in the bathroom. And asked her what was going on. Apparently there was an a school lock down in Amityville, Long Island after reports of an active shooter outside an elementary school. It was a school in her area. A friend of her's in Hicksville had notified her. And they lock down schools immediately whenever there are reports of a shooting or shooter nearby.

Now, they have "active shooter" drills in schools. And they will soon have active shooter drills in my work place due to what happened in Virigina Beach Shooting in Work Place Similar to Mine.
