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.

*headdesk*

I'll be honest. I'm not trying to laugh at you, but this is pretty hilarious :P

Phoebe said...

Well that was random.

Becky Allaker said...

I'm just really sorry and I hope you're ok

Komodo Devious said...

What kind of powers do you have?

Phoebe said...

WHAT is hilarious, Adrasdos!?

Becky Allaker said...

(sorry guys, btw, kinda out of the blue)

Noelle said...

It's alright Becky!!!

And Phoebe- uh... You two???

Luciana said...

I'm leaving, now.
If anyone sees or hears from Hellboy lemme know. I really need to talk to someone, right now...

Phoebe said...

Most :) Yesteerday I could teleport and open portals AND heal myself. Today... today I feel like using symbols. And being an elemental.

Komodo Devious said...

SO is it random? or do you just choose to use different powers each day?

Noelle said...

okay, Luce!!! *hugs* I really do hope you feel better, hun!

Phoebe said...

Pretty much random. I'm whatever I feel like

Komodo Devious said...

*is confuzzled*

Phoebe said...

Yeah. Me too. I confuse myself.

Komodo Devious said...

Well, my powers are forcefields.

Phoebe said...

Oh and yesterday I stole someones Tardis too.

Damn it! I should have thought of that...

Komodo Devious said...

It came as a mix of not completing my necromancer or elemental training so the air aspect of elemental and the necromancy merged.

Noelle said...

THAT WAS MY HUSBAND'S TARDIS, MIND YOU

Komodo Devious said...

SO it's like necromancy, except it doesn't have to be a continious flow and can be stationary, it also doesn't become more powerful depending on the strength of the lifeflow.

Phoebe said...

Yeah. Who is your husband? You never said...

Komodo Devious said...

And they're not invisible forcefields, they shimmer a bit.

Komodo Devious said...

They can be sharp projectiles, floating platforms or bound swords.

Komodo Devious said...

It's a kind of yellowish shimmer.

Phoebe said...

Did you think of that yourself? Its pretty clever if you did :)

Komodo Devious said...

I'm also a bounty hunter, but I have never managed to complete a job.

Phoebe said...

Haha lol

Komodo Devious said...

I did think of it myself. I didn't steal it from Naruto. wit that guy who has the ability to control the moisture in the air and make it into ice.

Noelle said...

My husband?

How many people do you know that travel in space and time in a Tardis?

Komodo Devious said...

But yeah. I never managed to complete a job. On account of me losing control and killing too many off job innocents.

Komodo Devious said...

THE DOCTOR!

Noelle said...

EXACTLY!!!

Komodo Devious said...

BOOM! I AM LAWESOME!

Noelle said...

*laughs*

Sure

Phoebe said...

I did wonder...

Komodo Devious said...

But yeah, I'm like a nuke if I get too angry and lose control.

Noelle said...

Yeah... :P

Phoebe said...

I mean, thats what I thought, but you never know... your husband might've been the master who came back to life and stole the tardis. Again.

Noelle said...

Ew. No thanks.

Phoebe said...

Marrying the Master.

Komodo Devious said...

Lolwut?

Phoebe said...

Gotta go for dinna guys be back soon!

Komodo Devious said...

But anyway, Me, mad=Nuke.

Komodo Devious said...

Might leave now myself actually, sorry to leave you alone, Dark.

Noelle said...

Byeeee!!! It's fine :P

Noelle said...

I'll be distant, people!

Luciana said...

I can't sleep...No matter how much I want to...

Luciana said...

I don't even want to...I need to sleep...

Noelle said...

Melatonin?

Or however it is spelled.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi people!

@L: Make up a story? It often helps me.

Luciana said...

Hello, Star.
And I think it's best that I don't...

Noelle said...

that's true!!! I usually think up things for my book, And I just... Doze.

I doubt that the screen that you're looking at it helping.

Star Inkbright said...

Btw, I have an ACE new story idea. Maybe if I work out a good enough plot I'll develop it into ab actual story. ;)

Luciana said...

My 'stories' are full of blood and gore and hurt...And in this frame of mine it's not a good idea...

Star Inkbright said...

Think of stories you like, L?

Star Inkbright said...

I mean, film/book/TV series/etc. stories that you like?

Noelle said...

Unfortunately for me, I torture my main character, and put my emotions, and give them to her...

It's horrible, but it makes me feel better. Weirdly.

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* Soon you'll be as bad as Michael Grant, Adra.

Star Inkbright said...

And, dinner, bbs.

Luciana said...

Bye, Star..

Noelle said...

Bye star!!

And yeahhh.. It's fun, in a weird, sadistic way.

Cat said...

Phoebe said...

No offense to all you Sophies out there. I'm sure youre all great. I just dont like your name.

Noelle said...

Ah cat, yes. Sorry. I know.

Phoebe said...

You didnt hug me...

* feels unloved *

Cat said...

Phoebe said...

If you turn it upside down its toast on beans.

Cat said...
