Rundown

This day last week I was in Leeds. First, I visited the school in Huddersfield that had won the Skulduggery photo competition, and got chatting to a room full of highly amusing students. Then it was on to Leeds itself, to Waterstones, for an event, a question and answer session, and a signing that went on for, ahem, quite a while.

The following day we were in York, again at Waterstones, for a signing that AGAIN went on for longer than we had expected. Three hours in Leeds, four hours in York. Of course, some people (who shall remain nameless) chose to go to BOTH, which may explain the length...

I came back with the usual assortment of letters and notes (which I still have to go through), presents (including a garden gnome), and Skittles. Because I like Skittles.

It was so much fun, the Watersones staff were all ultra-cool, and everyone kept me grinning from beginning to end. So thank you everyone who made it out, and thank you to everyone who braved the long queues...!

So I got home on Saturday night, and I've been home for the last week, and I haven't done ANY work at all. Well, almost. Okay, so I did some businessy type stuff, but I didn't WRITE anything. Kind of. Okay, so I'm already planning the final Skulduggery book, and possibly a few other things, but that is ALL. I am taking a BREAK. Mostly.

So now that I'm taking a break, I can give a quick rundown on stuff I've been enjoying over the past few months...

Man of Steel: This was... good. It was a good film. Wasn't brilliant. I went to it with my mum, sisters and brother. My mum and sisters all thought it was amazing. My brother and I were more subdued— and seeing as how my brother and I are the only ones whose opinion I trust, I trusted us.

Dexter, season seven: Ah, the penultimate season of the serial killer hiding in plain sight. I always enjoy Dexter. Even the seasons that people say were weak, I loved. Only one more season to go, though, and then I'll have to say goodbye to one of my favourite characters. Will he be found out? Will he be arrested? Will he live? Will he die?

See, now I know how YOU guys feel...

Game of Thrones: Pure awesome. Not as awesome as the books, but awesome nonetheless. Jon Snow, Arya, Dany and Tyrion for the win.

Doctor Who: It'll be so sad when Matt Smith leaves. He's made a brilliant Doctor— childlike, impulse, excitable, yet so incredibly dark and lonely. And of course Jenna Louise Coleman is wonderful and gorgeous. (But Amy will always be my first love.)

Banshee: A weird one, this. An ex-con assumes the identity of a dead man and becomes the Sheriff of a town called Banshee. It has a lovely idea at its core that it hasn't managed to live up to, but I'm still watching. Definitely adults-only stuff, and even though the action does nod its head towards realism every chance it gets, it's still way over the top. Though I'm starting to question how no one has fired a sheriff who beats up suspects in front of the whole town...

True Blood, season five: Amazingly, this show gets better and better. It's moved away from its human/vampire love story beginnings and developed its own mythology. This is wonderful stuff, fantastically inventive, very funny, but again— adults only.

Assassin's Creed 3: errrr... I kinda stopped playing. All the Assassin Creed games are very repetitive, and I just couldn't muster the enthusiasm to finish.

Resident Evil 6: Dreadful. Again, I stopped playing. It just wasn't FUN.

Skyrim: I stopped playing because I needed to write, but I do intend to go back to this. Oblivion was brilliant.

Metal Gear Rising: Awful. If I wanted a fighting game, I'd have bought a fighting game. I buy Metal Gear games because I want to sneak around and kill people when they don't expect it. (By the way, I've just seen the trailer for the next Metal Gear game, which looks like it'll fulfil every gaming need I could possibly possess.)

N0S4R2, by Joe Hill: Brilliant book. Loved every page.

The Shining Girls, by Lauren Beuke: I read this immediately after N0S4R2 and it did not suffer by comparison. Fantastic.

Annnnd I've just been emailed the edited copy of LSODM, so I shall be going through that this weekend, making last-minute changes and additions... and then it'll REALLY be done.

Honest.

It's hard when you can't see the keyboard AT ALL. WHen it's just in the background and you're lookiung at the screen . . . I can do that. But when it's utte vkacjbess, your finges rjust go WHAT WHAT AM I WHERE ARE ALL THE RGHT KETS WHERE IS THE SCALE ARGHHHHHH.

:(FOURS BECKYU!!!

I can easily type whilst only looking at the screen, doing it now, but the keyboard is in the edge of my visiom and I can see when I make typos and correct them. I generally type looking at the screen and glancing at the keyboard everything now and then, have to keep making it a blink in this comment whenever I automatically look down. :P

When you can't see what you're typing, it's harder, and when you reach your hands up to put your jumper on your head, then when you bring them down, you don't know the right position to put them in over the keys.

Drawing a lot. My first Blogversary was back in May. :)
And that pretty much sums it up. As well as the blog being really quiet for a while now. :/

My Blogversary was... I can't remember if I started a year and a half ago or two years and a half ago... Hm. Oh well. I blame school for my absence.

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

The blog has been quiet...

Or maybe it's just quiet when it's nighttime somewhere else...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

School is very annoying...
Ah, well. It's good to see you coming back. ^-^

The blog used to be filled up to 5,000 comments in about a week and a half. Now, we don't even get up to 5,000 at all...
I remember when the blog was really busy. Fun times. :)

#ChaseForBook9

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

It makes me sad - I'm just thinking that in two or maybe three years, I'll announce that I'm leaving the blog, because of uni and all.

And then I'll just become a former Bloglandian that people don't know...

Helena Ember Sky said...

I know. I made such great friends on the blog. And now I'm lucky to come on when someone else was on. Minions have all helped me in my worst times and have made me a better person.

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

Argh, my head gets all fuddled when I think of how many people have come through this blog. How many friends were made, how many fights were fought, how many people left...

It's just truly amazing, how this blog has been a part of so many lives.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Same here, Hel.
The Minions are the best. :)
Every single one of them, the past, present and ones to come.
All I want to do is stalk them, then hug them for real.

I dunno what the blog will be like in 2-3 years time. I just never want this to end.

*Dumb

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I dunno how to start the episode. (The dr who story) I'vve still got writers block I think

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

I HATE WRITER'S BLOCK.

Well, can you start further forward and then write the beginning afterwards? :)

Writing in odd orders can sometimes help.

And you can start really suddenly, seeming like there should be more the beginning before it, which is what I do when I get stuck. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

It must be really depressing when you meet these people for the first time and you just know, soon as you look at them, that they'll be killed soon, but they don't know it and won't listen if you tell them . . .

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

It's ok, my inner spy is just being stronger than usual and demanding I know what everyone said.

It's irritating!

I also want to know what those suspicious people were doing yesterday.... BLAAH. I should have set up surveillance, but I was too tired.

*#ChaseForBookNine

I'm so sorry! I only forgot because I'm on my phone! I remember nearly every single other time, so surely that's okay? D:

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

MY MUM DIDN'T LIKE LES MIS!!!

Practically the only person in the world who didn't. XD

(I haven't seen it.)

I find it interesting how my friend's mums thought Les Mis was awesome and disliked THG, and with my mum it'as the otjer way around . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

HELLO BRAVE.

Distant for no apparent reason.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

*friends'

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I haven't seen it or THG! I never see movies!

Except today I'm seeing Much Ado About Nothing.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

I've heard of the book of that . . . :)

@Fabi: I never see anythung either, so I can empathise. *laughs*
Neither TV nor movies, noppppe. :P
Although I've seen LOTR, Harry Potter, THG, Merlin, DW, Sherlock, Star Wars and OUAT, and that's all the important stuff really, so I don't really think there's anything else I need to see. Oh, exceot The Walking Dead, which both blog people and irl people (okay, an irl person) think is awesome. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

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

So im drinking tea and my mom says next week her and i are gonna have tea at this place that does it like old fashioned England where you dress up! Thanks to Luce talking I get the British accent xD

#ChaseForBook9

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

Star if you would have tea what would you put in it?

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Yes. Shakespeare. [Nods]

Out of that list, Star Wars and some Doctor Who.

Sounds cool, Zaf! Dress up! :D

I like costumes. [goes in search of the pirate scarf]

#ChaseForBook9

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

Lol I am! Dressing up Victorian England style!

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Dress up is fun! :D

I'm a pirate! YAR! AHOY! ARR MATEYS! WHATEVER ELSE PIRATES ARE SUPPOSED TO SAY! [Waves around bright green plastic sword]

Gtg, breakfast and farmer's market!

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Well, when I have tea, I have milk in it and no sugar, because that is what I was brough up with. :P

But noo, Zaf, you can do a YORKSHIRE accent because Mushroom! She doesn't have a Cockney accent or a Scottish accent or a generally Southern (sorry, generalising) accent or a Welsh accent or a scouse accent (ahaha, my friend can do a brilliant scouse accent) or MY accent or any other type of British accent - those I mentioned are only the ones I know. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I was proud though, coz on Doctor Who, the episode The Crimson horror, latest season . . . you know when Clara and the Doctor put on accents?
I went, "Hey, they sound like us! I mean, like they're from round here!"
And then later on it said they were in Yorkshire (they'd said it previously, but I hadn't paid attention) and I was like MWAHAHAHA. XD
Number one, I was right, and number two, the BBC actually have a clue what we sound like, so we aren't TOTALLY ignored (they always miss us out on the weather forcast (and there are barely any signings, or barely any ANYTHING, up here)).

:( FOURS FABI!

#ChaseForBookNine

Luciana said...

I actually don't have a Yorkshire accent...

I sound well-spoken and typically British, apparently. :P

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hi all! How are you?

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: YOU SOUND LIOE YOU'RE FROM ROUND HERE AND ROUND HERE IS YORKSHIRE, SO MY BRAIN LOGICALLY MAKES THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU HAVE A YORKSHIRE ACCENT.

But okay. How 'bout I call it a Nothern accent? :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

(THough when I say Northern, I mean Northern England, not Northern Britain)

RHYDIANNNNN! *pobiunbtblleesstacklehugs*

I bought star stickers today, Mushroom. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

STAR! HOW ARE YOU?

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hi, apparently I'm not going to the market for another twenty minutes. :-/

Hello Lucy! Hello Rhydian! Hello again, Star!

#ChaseForBook9

Luciana said...

My accent is definitely Northern. Just not ridiculously. It's weird, because I'm well-spoken... :P

YAY FOR STAR STICKERS!:D

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Requiem Noble said...

Hey Bloglandians!

I still feel weird using that term...It's very special

Star Inkbright said...

YAY, BRAVE! :)
YAY, IVY! :)

It was never defined which monster Ieni was, so she could have been Ieni type of monster, but it was known that she was a monster. However, the definition of monster was never defined. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

HI REQUIEM! :)
It is very special, though it was never defined quite how special. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

EEEEEEEEEE

#ChaseForBook9

Requiem Noble said...

Hi Star

It's a good term. We are a special froupp of people so we should have a special title.

Requiem Noble said...

So special that I cant even spell people....

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

HI REQUIEM!
[bounces]

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

#ChaseForBook9
