A Post Before I Go

I have a few random pictures cluttering up my desktop, so I shall intersperse them as I go...


I'm catching my plane tomorrow. An hour to London, then 13 hours to Singapore, then 7.5 hours to Sydney, then 3 hours to Auckland... I'll arrive in New Zealand a little before midday on Tuesday, mildly confused about whether or not I'm sleepy after spending a day in the air zipping across time zones. 

Oh boy oh boy.

I'm not packed, either. I know what I'm bringing- roughly- but I'll leave the packing until tomorrow. I'm bringing A Dance of Dragons to read, and I've already looked up what movies will be playing on the plane. Movies that I haven't seen but want to include Battleship, Dark Shadows, Lockout, Get the Gringo, The Five-Year Engagement, and The Woman in Black, and I'll also get a chance to watch The Avengers again. That's roughly 16 hours of movies... I think I should be okay...


Today, I am cleaning the house. Laura will be staying here when I'm gone so I need to have everything nice and tidy, or else she'll throw a mug at me. 

I fully intend to blog while I'm on tour. I know my publishers would like me to keep a Tour Blog, detailing how the events went and who I met and what the various cities were like- basically documenting the entire experience. Annnnnnnnd that's not gonna happen. When I get back to my hotel- usually at around 9 o'clock at night- I'm pretty much exhausted. But I'll do my best to keep my Minions appraised of developments.


I'll be gone for 17 days, during which time I'll be staying at 9 hotels and visiting 12 airports. 

The temperature in New Zealand is ranging from 1 degree (celsius) at night to 14 during the day. This, my Minions, is a temperature I can deal with.

The temperature in Australia is ranging from 7 to 23. 23 is a tad high. Please Australia, cool down a bit before I get there. Just a few degrees. Say, five. Thank you.

I've got my Sky box ready to record my shows when I'm away. Right now I'm recording Criminal Minds, Newsroom, The Mentalist, and Supernatural. I was delighted beyond measure to realise that I'll be able to watch the Ronda Rousey fight live in my hotel room on my only day off- Sunday the 19th. Thanks to the time difference, I'll just be sitting down to room service lunch when she fights...

And that's it. That's all. I have a house to clean and time is running out. I also need to write up instructions for Laura on how to use the TV (it's more complicated than it sounds) when I'm gone. All you Minions-with-funny-accents, prepare yourselves. I am coming.

Niamhy Jay said...

Yeah that's my uniform.
I like it well enough. Better than others I've seen.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I wish I had a school uniform, though everyone says I'm crazy for it. I live in stupid America where practically only religious schools have uniforms. Anyway, have fun on your trip Derek! Speaking of which I shall proceed to call you Landy-Sensei from now on, as if this was Japan.

Garbouw said...

Maybe next year, a tour to the Ameriminions?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Garbouw i hope. This is serious. Maybe Derek needs to suck up to his publishers like gove them cookies and beg to come America.

Thats my thinking Dark. Derek read this this my thinking

First off yeah no duh the books arent known. They release THREE books. Haa. Plus its agrivating to FIND the three books. No bookstores put them out. Then if you do find all 3 you got to order OFF AMAZON for the rest. So yeah not many people know. Then Derek cant be sent here?! Hell if he was here and one by one they released the full series it'd work. Derek be known plus the books would be here. I mean no offense but someone lacked common sense in the thinking department.

Im done with the whole 'not many people know' crap. Im letting my mind be heard. Its stupid. I mean I did something for 1/4 of the 8th grade for DD and how many kids read the books? Nearly everyone. So there ya have it. If he did go to schools kids would know. Kids buy books then money. I mean America is big. But they wont get much if they dont try. It seems the publishers just gave up.

Luciana said...

Gotta go! Be back soon! *hugs all*

Noelle said...

How can the publishers give up on something they never tried???
I've gotten my friends to read it also. When I was on the plane, I sat next to this, oh, 26 year old English teacher, for people in my grade.

I gave her the name Skulduggery Pleasant, and told her that her students would love it.

And presumably the school now reads it.

a SCHOOL.

Yesh, Luna. Lol...

Exactly. I watched kids read SP it spread to the others who didnt see my report. Ugh...try damn it.

Noelle said...

Right?

They think we're the ones who won't read Skulduggery, but they're the ones who aren't advertising it!!!

Really!

Can they be any more dim?

I have no idea. Just how dang dumb can you get? First off who knows about SP unless the books are advertised?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Salman. Kindles VERY expensive, thats why i got the books not ebooks

Noelle said...

Salman...

WHO CARES ABOUT KINDLES???

Derek can't sign Death Bringer on your Kindle!!!

And true thing, Zaf.

And besides, with Kindles/Nooks/whatever, you don't get the satisfaction of turning a page. And you have to charge it!!!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

He is?!?!?

hello :)

salman said...

Zafria You are able to downlad a free kindle reading app of amazon although it is not as convenient as having a paperback

Real books are just... Better.

Oh :'( Me stupido. Author of comment, that makes sense.....

Drew O'Connor said...

Can't beat a physical book.

Though audio books come a close second lol

Noelle said...

Salman would you rather give up all your SP books for a kindle and you're only allowed to buy them on that for the rest of your life...

Really, that's what it's like. No one really wants SP on a kindle... They want the real thing.

Anonymous said...

real boooks are just...better

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Still..,how many really own a kindle? I rather real books...

Plus if you go to a signing how you get the author to sign a kindle?

Luciana said...

I have a list of SP books I need to buy...
Should the collectors edition hardbacks come before or after the large paperbacks? And should I buy the US editions before or after the UK/Ireland editions? And should I buy the rest of AF, that I started reading the other day and now ship Holly and Artemis so much, before or after more SP books? Or should I buy one Af and one SP at a time? But I need more HG...OHMYGOLDENGODTHATSERIESISBEAUTIFULANDPEETAMADEMECRY. *sobs because Everlark*

salman said...

Adrasdos,
The kindle books are cheaper so if you bought all SP books released on kindle you'd probably have saved enough money to buy the next book

Bareerah said...

I can't wait for the book to come out in England! Better still, THE UK TOUR. GOING TO MEET DEREK. (For the second time.) HELL YES.

Anonymous said...

lucky! I really want to go....:\

salman said...

Zafria,
you raise a Fine point.
Just ask him to sign on a piece of paper

Noelle said...

Salman, well if you seem to support it so much, why don't you do it?

I'm not. Better quality but a bit more money, or lesser quality for less...


Uh. Better quality.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Im glad people see him. Just need Ameriminions...

Im gonna wait. I want to see his thoughts on coming to the US

salman said...

Adrasdos,
The quality is the same, some may say kindle is better and are you really going to carry around suck bulky books?

Anonymous said...

bye guys :)

Luciana said...

Someone mind helping me with this predicament? I really need help. I confuddled myself... *frowns*

Luciana said...

Bye, Luna! *huggles*

Noelle said...

Bye Luna!!!

and yes I'm going to carry around that stack of books. Hell, I'll carry around five stacks. They're worth my time.

and with kindles, by "quality" I mean that you press a button to turn a page.

Point is, I like real books rather than electronic ones. You're not changing my mind.

Besides. I've written a book of my own, and knowing all the hard work and effort I put into it, I'd want people to get the real paper version.

Luciana said...

Hey, Willow.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Noelle said...

hey Willow!!! *hugs, then hands a skul-cake*

.....and I'm back! Hugs for all! Except you!

salman said...

Adrasdos,
Good luck Carrying around the books.

Also on kindle the page turning is easier as it has a button on Both sides, unless you want to read the book backwards if you were reading laying down you cant comfortably turn pages

And you wont notice the difference between a paperback and the kindle while your reading, it does not affect your reading expirience at all

Noelle said...

*raises eyebrow* herm herm *gives skul cake*

Anonymous said...

That's why I left. *leaves* *comes back* Skull cake please?

Noelle said...

Salman-

Thanks, I will have fun carrying books. They make me look smart, and, really. They have awesome covers..

*sits in chair with sonic screwdriver*

First off- some people read standing. YOu really can read anywhere.
Second- you're saying that turning a page affects the reading experience? *laughs* okaaaaayyyyy...


And number three. If the world ended today in a zombie apocalypse, and all the power stations went out, your beloved Kindle would die out in a month, and because almost every house in the world has zombies in it, you would never read a book ever again, because you had this genius idea.

And if everyone got a Kindle, books would die out. Books. Tell me, have you ever read Fahrenheit 451? Maybe not. They might not have it on Kindle.

Point is, that book explains the importance of books. Without them, we're all kinda screwed.

I really am leaving now! Bye mah homies! (sorry)

Luciana said...

Bye, Luna! *hugs* (:

Drew O'Connor said...

Thank you for that comment on Chapter 14 Adra lol

salman said...

Adrasdos,
If all the power stations went out im sure the government would do something about it and you can just use batteries

salman said...

Another good point about kindle is that with amazon whispernet you can get your books in under a minute

Luciana said...

Kindles are good in some aspects, but they don't have the smell that real books carry with them. They don't show the age and things about a book. That's something I have, personally, always loved about books. Some people like Kindles, some don't. I, for one, cannot stand Kindles and I see them to be useless. Books are precious and by using technology to replace them it's as though no-one understands how much they have changed the world.
Okay? NOW CHILL WITH THE WHOLE KINDLE THING! I am p*ssed off as it is!

i want it!
its so expensive!

Noelle said...

Bye Luna!!! *hugs*

@Em- sure. you on Skype???

Salman. The government wouldn't be able to fix the power stations BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL ZOMBIES.
Did you miss that bit?

And besides, not all books are on Kindle. And anyway, some first editions or signed books are worth way more than a Kindle.

Star Inkbright said...

*is back from reading Dublin Daes* OMGG Em, EXCITING!

Noelle said...

Lol when I got DD and mortal Coil from Ireland I was convinced it smelled of potatoes. :D

Luciana said...

Salman, I am saving up for that. >.<

Drew O'Connor said...

Thanks Star, I'm glad that you enjoyed it lol

Um... I won't be on until after 8 Adra, I'll talk to you then.

salman said...

Luciana,
The smell is something which you wont get on kindle However, how much of your time do you spend reading and how much time do you spend sniffing books?

Luciana said...

GUYS!
I almost have as many books as Becky!
ALMOST HAVE THE MOST BOOKS IN THE FANDOM! Woooohoooooo.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Me calmed

Star Inkbright said...

I just love books as well. I just love gazing at the covers. I get most of my books from the library, which is awesome and all, but a major downside is those protective plastic covers. I love it when you've bought a book and you keep stopping reading to gaze at the covers and run your hands over them, and you just find it hard to believe how unbelieveably PERFECT and REAL the cover looks. I mean, photos are never as good as looking at a real live view, coz with a view it's REAL, it's in front of you. Same with books.

Luciana said...

When you turn a page you can smell the book. I always find that the smell of a book adds to the magic. Along with physically turning pages as opposed to pressing a button.


Also, face it. You're loosing this argument. You're failing to address all of the points that we have made, because you don't know how to respond. You'll not change our minds. Okay?

CAN WE JUST DROP IT!? I AM NOT IN THE BEST OF MOODS. AND I WOULD HATE FOR YOU GUYS TO SEE ME GET ANGRY. I get worse with age.

salman said...

Adrasdos,
Do you really believe that Zombies exist?

And if a book you want is not on kindle request it on amazon

also whoever said you can't own paperbacks if you own a kindle?

salman said...

Luciana,
I am afraid i shall not SEE you get angry since i cannot SEE you at all.
Also I'm the most stubborn person ever to have lived

LONG LIVE THE KINDLE!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Kindle...annoys

Noelle said...

Fine, Salman. Whatever. Point is, you can think what you can think. I like books better than Kindle, you like Kindles more than books.
End of story.
Are we finished? I don't want Luce to kill me.

salman said...

Zafria,
I don't know what your trying to say but whatever it is the kindle is better

Luciana said...

*headwall*
You clearly do not comprehend the whole 'Blogland' thing...

*rolls eyes*

Lois Lane said...

WHEEEEE! Kingdom of the Wicked! Have fun on the tour, Derek!

It would be AWESOME if Derek could come to America! (We should sign an Ameriminion petition! Or make a website! Or something.)

Anonymous said...

Books are good for all the above reasons, although kindles are more convenient as you can take about 90 'books' on holiday. But I still prefer books....

Noelle said...

Right. Okay. I'm just going to ignore you now because all you're doing is adding unnecessary drama, and making people angry...

*dances off into the sunset, reading again, and eating a lollipop*

salman said...

Adrasdos,
I suppose i'll le tyou live your life of being deprived of greatness (Kindle)

Luciana said...

First?

F*ck.
Just typical.
