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.

Nixion Strange said...

*ties Star back up*
For the lols

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*thinks*

i agree Nix, lets leave her

Star Inkbright said...

YAY! *higs Cain and offers her 50p*

Oh, you're Australian. *snatches 50p back and offers her 50 cents*

Star Inkbright said...

*offers Nix 50 cents* Free me? *puppy dog eyes*

Mayan said...

*disapperates and appears behind Stars tree and casts a forcefield. Realises that arm is missing*

Star Inkbright said...

Although, 50p is more than 50 cents. *offers him 60 cents*

Nixion Strange said...

You cut out a puppy dogs' eyes?! That's... No, I'm not letting you out

Star Inkbright said...

:(

*offers him Skulduggery's eyes* I preserved them when he died. And he was dead already, so it didn't hurt him.

Nixion Strange said...

...No

Mayan said...

*Carefully puts the dogs eyes back in place* There good as new!
*dog turns into coraline-esque creature.*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

"I'm the Doctor, here to help. See look! They even gave me a little badge with my name on it in case I forget who I am!"


I have always found that hilarious... XD

Star Inkbright said...

*offers him . . . *drum roll* A PURPLE BANANA!!!!*

There is nothing worth more than that.

Nixion Strange said...

But I don't want it

Star Inkbright said...

I will get down on my knees and worship the person who frees me.

Nixion Strange said...

So, in other words, you'll leave your banana master or whatever she calls herself?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*frees Star*

Nixion Strange said...

*traps Star again*
*glares at Val*

Star Inkbright said...

*carefully reburies purple banana*

You're as bad as me. I am unbribable on things I really don't want to do. Unlike my sister.

Mayan said...

*sits on a tuffet* I wonder if Michael Jackson stole the one-glove thingamabob from Serpine...

Star Inkbright said...

*awkwardly wriggles into a kneel through the ropes that once again entrap me*

*worships Ivy*

Even though I wasn't freed for long.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

yeah, youve got to wonder about that, Maya...

Nixion Strange said...

... Michael Jackson was before Serpine, and Serpine doesn't wear a glove for his power

Star Inkbright said...

Maybe Michael Jackson WAS Serpine in disguise. Maybe he realised his fame was attracting too much attention and faked his death.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byEPAqcCtOE


This is... This is awesome.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

YES STAR!!
THE PERFECT ANSWER!!

Mayan said...

@Star that is quite genius

Nixion Strange said...

Serpine doesn't wear a glove for his power

Star Inkbright said...

*looks at ropes* This is NOT awesome.

Nixion Strange said...

I asked a question Star, are you planning to answer?

Star Inkbright said...

*smiles* FINALLY. My genius is appreciated.

Nixion Strange said...

Star, he doesn't use a glove for power. Your 'genius' makes no sense

Star Inkbright said...

Well, he would go blasting people with his hand whilst on stage, would he? And he wouldn't want the media to speculate about the abnornality of his hand. So, voila, he wears a glove.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Nix, he wears a glove over his right hand.

Star Inkbright said...

*wouldn't

Nixion Strange said...

But Jackson didn't wear it all the time, so you would have seen his hand

Star Inkbright said...

Of course my genius makes no sense. I'm nonsensical.

Star Inkbright said...

Well then he would have been teating out gis glove that looked EXACTLY like a human hand, but wasn't.

However, his human-hand glove needed to be washed occasionally, so he wore his normal glove.

Star Inkbright said...

*testing

*his

Nixion Strange said...

But you would see a change in thickness, compare the hands. Same thickness

Mayan said...

*sighs*
*frees Star and casts (grape flavoured) shield on her*
My internet is sooooooooooooooooooo slow

Star Inkbright said...

Gtg, fours, bbl. :( *quickly worships Maya before I go*

Okay Nix. You win. Serpine wasn't Michael Jackson.

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Star!
*puts curse on her that makes her tied up ever time she comes back, and can only be undone by me*

Because you didn't answer my question

Nixion Strange said...

be back soon!

Mayan said...

Fare thee well Star!
sorry my internet turned off fot aaaaaaagggggeeeeeeessss

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Star!!

Nixion Strange said...

... Seriously?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i am very, VERY distant

Mayan said...

*yawns*
I'm leaving now
Goodnight/bye!







And yes I still believe Serpine is Michael Jackson.

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Maya!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hmmmm... It's nearly 3 in the morning...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Maya!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

gotta go now

byee fellow Bloglandians!

*shadow walks out*

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Miss!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Flame Phoenix said...

Hey people:)

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Flame!

Eve the ROCK said...

SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Eve!

Flame Phoenix said...

I'm going to rant now.


DEREK! I DEMAND THAT YOU PUNISH SPARKY BRAGINSKI BECAUSE SHE LET OUT A KOTW SPOILER IN EMAIL TO ME AND VAL. V CAIN. I TALKED TO NIXION STRANGE AND HE SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IN THE BOOK!

Nixion Strange said...

I didn't say that. I said I found a spoiler that was one of the biggest things in the book

Flame Phoenix said...

AND NOW I'M MAD COS I WANTED TO BE AMAZED BY KOTW AND NOW I MIGHT NOT BE!

Flame Phoenix said...

Oh. Oops.

Flame Phoenix said...

Flame Phoenix said...

Oh. Oops.

Eve the ROCK said...

Whatever the spoiler was, Phoenix, it won't ruin the suspense or anything. The book is immensely enjoyable even if someone told you the whole sequence of events, it's that good ;)

Flame Phoenix said...

Blah, I just got an email.

*shudders*

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, the spoiler I was told didn't make the book any less enjoyable

Nixion Strange said...

I dedicate this to the awesome book that is Kingdom of the Wicked. This is possibly my favourite

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, I gotta go now
I might be back later
Bye!

Flame Phoenix said...

Bye NIXION.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello people who came!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And bye Nix!

Komodo Devious said...

Komodo Devious said...

Komodo Devious said...

Is it on your blog?

Flame Phoenix said...

It's nowhere.

I can write one up for you later, if you want.

Komodo Devious said...

Hm, I think Flame's comments only come up if I post comments.

Komodo Devious said...

Komodo Devious said...

Flame Phoenix said...

Refresh the page. F5 or control+r.

Komodo Devious said...

Komodo Devious said...

Komodo Devious said...

http://www.personalitypage.com/ISTP.html This is a detailed description of an ISTP.

It's a good thing I'm studying engineering then... I thought i'd get something random...

Komodo Devious said...

*Refreshes for flame's comments*

Komodo Devious said...

That's weird.

Komodo Devious said...

It seems that we're all a quite alike.

Rim. said...

You guys design stuff, I build it :D

Komodo Devious said...

http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP.html This is you Flame.

Komodo Devious said...

Yup.

Komodo Devious said...

I think that in sherlock holmes, sherlock is INTP and Murdoch is INTJ.

Komodo Devious said...

Which are both really alike.

Flame Phoenix said...

Why?


And thanks.

Komodo Devious said...

I think that the main difference is that Intp designs and builds, whereas Intj changes.

Komodo Devious said...

Like Aedra and Daedra, except, not from a video game.

Komodo Devious said...

It seems that, in terms of relationship, we all would fit well with the same kind of people.

Komodo Devious said...

Which is a bit weird.

Komodo Devious said...

Brb

Rim. said...

Okay Komodo

Flame Phoenix said...

Why weird?


And thanks for the compliement.

Komodo Devious said...

back

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm still here, just doing homework. I have to give a talk about obesity tomorrow, and it will probably help if I know what specific thing I'm going to be talking about.

Komodo Devious said...

Yo welcome.
Well, it's just, you know, kind of, odd. That we're so alike.

Komodo Devious said...

Hey Eve.

Komodo Devious said...

Hmmm, I forgot to go to memebase.

Rim. said...

Hi Eve

Flame Phoenix said...

I'm going to go, I think. Yeah, I am. Bye.

Rim. said...

Bye Flame!!!!

Komodo Devious said...

TO MEMEBASE!

Komodo Devious said...

Nenenaaaa!

Komodo Devious said...

Bye flame!

Eve the ROCK said...

Poor rabid doggy :( It's so cute when it's not killing people. It must feel awful. :(

Eve the ROCK said...

Rim, what do you think suits me more? Eve Marone or Eve L'Keet?

Rim. said...

Sorry Eve my internet went down... The Marone one sounds like an actress an the L'Keet makes your name be Evil Keet... I prefer The Marone one.

Eve the ROCK said...

It's actually pronounced Eev Luh-keet, but okay

Rim. said...

Oh that makes more sense!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Haha yeah :P

Otherwise I would've written

Eve L. Keet

:P

LOL! DB is what we call my friend so I'm thinking something else which is kinda creepy :P

Star Inkbright said...

HI PEOPLE!

Well, we went out to play tennis and table tennis for an hour, but then we had lunch and went shopping so we were actually out for five hours.

Rim. said...

Cool! Hey Star!

Star Inkbright said...

Hi!i!i!i!i!

Rim. said...

¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡ Helloooo ¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡

Rim. said...

Star Inkbright said...

Star Inkbright said...

Okay, fours Willow!

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

Hiya Star

Star Inkbright said...

I thought it was a shame to waste a comnent saying nothing but "Testing", so I wrote all this.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Zaf!

Star Inkbright said...

Huh. That profile pic might be okay, actually.

Star Inkbright said...

KEEP CALM AND COUNT TO FIVE.

Star Inkbright said...

I am awesome.

I edited Ivy's Keep Calm and Read Skulduggeru thing, and LOOK!

Star Inkbright said...

This one should be slightly shorter and more readable.

Star Inkbright said...

*Skulduggery

Luciana said...

I'm only here for one comment.
I pre-ordered KotW! Finally!
I'll try to be back soon. I'm sorting some things out in my life because when I decide to try to help someone else everything falls apart, apparently.
Hey, Derek (if you read this)! I hope you're having fun on tour.
I'm sorry, everyone. I feel bad for not explaining things. I'd rather not explain things, right now. It makes things worse.
I hope to talk to you all soon and when/if I do return you're still as nice and kind as ever, unlike the SP page.

Star Inkbright said...

It took me over an hour to turn this blue.

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs L* You take as long a break as you need. I hope you don't need long.

And I'll TRY to stay nice . . . *hides bloody knife behind back*

Star Inkbright said...

If somebody thinks of an SP one I can, I'll gladly do it.

Star Inkbright said...

*can do

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

Hiya Star

Noelle said...

*crashes in*

Oh. God. I do hope no one cared for that window. It was way too big for this room. And green. With people on it.

I hate windows.

Noelle said...

OMG MY RED BOWTIE JUST CAME IN THE MAIL. *raises arms to sky*

LIFE. COMPLETE

Star Inkbright said...

You still here, Adra?
