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.

SIR REIN!!!! *runs over and hugs*
Hi!!! How're ya?
Honestly, I thought you'd learn by now. Every time that I am hugged, someone stubs their toe.
Yes. In some cased, toes are broken...
Or perhaps someone falls and hits their head...
*laughs*
THEY CAN SUFFER!!!!
Truly, you are a master of the worst type of torture. I am impressed, oh Empress of Evil.
*nods*
You should be. I went for 666 yesterday.
And you also got 662 and 664. You have your bases covered.
*nods* you must be impressed. You probably are. Don't try to hide it.
I won't. Instead, I'll organize a coup d'etat.
...What?
It's not my fault, Empress. It's really yours. The infrastructure of your Empire is terrible, and corrupt plotters are everywhere. Apologies, have a nice few seconds of your life.
*nods* thank you. I'll wait for death then.
*sits*
It never came, Sir Rein. IT NEVER CAME!!!
MY EMPIRE WILL PREVAIL!!!!*murders all corrupted, and sets everything straight*
Impressive sitting abilities. Though if you want to become a better empress, please refer to The Evil Empress's List.
okayyy....
I shall start off by doing this
*raises gun, and shoots Sir Rein, four times in the chest*
Hm. Good thing my only weakness ISN'T bullets from a gun.
You gotta be flipping kidding me.
*burns him to a crisp with flames, and then sends him to NY so people can have fish for dinner*
Stil not my weakness.
*takes mustache off the shark, and places it on Justin Bieber*
*grows new mustache*
Be a bit more creative, will you?
you're kidding... *traps sir Rein in a collapsing star, a never ending vortex, wrapped in chains made from a white dwarf*
OOh, is it curly? I liked your old pic... the new one is great too, though

Oh, and Zaf, Em wants me to tell you that she's watching all your Irish comments you damn necromancer!!!
Eurgh.
My dad says, "the rain was torrential."
I ask, "what does that even mean, torrential?"
and he says, "cats, dogs, and llamas."
Honestly, the hate against necromancers is quite irritating.
LOL! noooo It's just what Em calls Zaf :P
Cat- that's brilliant!
And Sir- be glad it isn't against Pieromanckalsksfghsjers
It's Pieromancer.
Like Pyromancer, but with pie.
they dont have to be 'damned' or hated.
it bores me. not rreally angers me or anythig, but it's... boring.
cat... It's just what Em calls Zaf!!! :P
*narrows eyes*... So what's a pyromancer
WAIT. THAT'S AWESOME.
Is Jay(as a Nickname) cliche?
No.... Why would it be?
Unless, it's for Jason or something. but not really
Tell Em she
*throws Em in lake*
Em says lol, Zaf.
How you talking to that damn Sanctuary agent...
*explodes Ireland*

Well, you just blew up decoy Ireland.
I CANNOT believe that worked!

Adra a Pyromancer is someone who studies Fire magic. Like on W101 Im a Transcended Pyromancer (lvl 73)

*blows up sir reingington and sir reigington's decoy and sir reingington's decoy's decoy and an odd looking sqare*
Whoops.
See you
I dedicate this page to Jimmie Johnson driver of the Lowes 48 car. Now I must be seriously thought loco. But Johnson is like a Nascar legend. And my fav driver. He kicked butt. 4 times in a row winning the Sprint Cup. Legend. (might be 5). Just AWESOME he almost won the Pocono 400 today but rain stopped him. A caution hit and Gordon managed to get in,
I also dedicate this page to, Derek. He's awesome and better get his Irish self to the US on a tour.
*high fives cat*
Absolutely *wears a bowtie and top hat*
yes.
And tell Em i use my computer. I dont have iPad 2
LOL!!!
*raises glass* VROOM VROOM!!!
Oh, and Em says good ded.
Hehehe!!!!! Loooove Nascar
Nice Dedication.
Ty
*bows*
*explodes REAL Ireland*
bloody fools.
From Em- tell Zaf that I am on a computer and it's thundering here but I'm still on Skype lol
There was another bit but I left that out :D
JEEZ EM. *laughs* I joke! I joke!
oh, and apparently, Em didn't say "good ded"
I... read wrong.
No mine gets shocked easily. Plus my parents wont shut up about me using the computer in storms
Hi Em!
Em who?
like you'd get electrocuted?
*laughs* oh cat... you have no idea the impact of what you just said...
*laughs again*
Yup Adra and computer too.
Whwat? we can't have world war 4 and 5 at the same time?
Well WW3 is between Ireland and few buddies and America and anyone hating the Irish
http://dereklandy.blogspot.com/2011/12/er.html
Look how many comments this has
Well, any man who understands the Irish
cant be all together bad
Unfortunately, this is not an issue of men. It is an issue of countries.
NOT OF MICE, BUT OF MEN
Or something...
And no! We put a lot of hard work into it! Nix got kidnapped, and, like, 8 people at different times pulled him out of the cell...
twice!
We did!!!
*is pacing Sanctuary*
I see a skeleton. Seeing skeletons is bad isnt it?
Honestly, why not just blow up the wall? Much more simple.
Yes! It's horrible! zaf, RUN!!!
*pulls the Grand mage through a portal*
not of men, not of countries, but of mice and a blown-up sir reingington.
Can I join this little war? i sort of ended one a while back, and i like to be in a colourful array at any one time
Sure? Why not!
Hello, Skelly. * steals hat*
You know, skelly, your man-shoes bore me.
I think ill be on my own side. i like that idea. yes. this way i'll always lose... a side affect of failing at life.
Aaaah!!!
I wanna KILL Pleasant!!! (is that possible to kill Skulduggery? Or is he like unkillable?
Haas anyone not read book six?
Uhh... DEATH BUBBLE!
Remember? If he is sufficiently destroyed or hurt, his consciousness floats away. Or something like that.
Hmmm i read DB i just dont remember it
LOL!!! It was right before the Vile bit.
Oh god. Oopsie. I wasnt much of the fan of DB so...I do have reasons
*gasp*
I LOVED IT!!!
I think that you could destroy his conciousness... technically he's not alive, though, so technically you cant kill him. you could unbind him, i suppose, you could take his skull, take his limbs, and lock him away. you could make him into dice, or piano keys... you could make any life he has a life not worth having.
Making the Skeleton into a clarinet has always been my life's dream.
What didnt you like about it? i mean, there were bits that irked me, but... i loved Vile, i loved fletcher/ghastly/caelenn, i loved finbar Loved Finbar but where was Tanith??"?
Make him into piano keys... He always wanted a life of music
Okay I didnt...like the ending. The bit where the Requim Ball the Temple Invasion ect I liked...i just dont like Kenny. (is that that guys name?) I hate him. Just. Hate.
I just didnt want to gget into anything anyone hadnt read, is all
