Odd Blog

The Blog is Odd. It's started misbehaving, and I don't know why. I know my Minions have broken the internet before, but even I don't think this is (entirely) your fault. I will ask my publishers to look into it on Monday.

In other news, Molly, your tale of woe concerning the author you have to have brunch with had me laughing. I can't wait to find out how the story ends.

In yet other news, I watched the final Sherlock tonight. Much better than last week's, thank God. A relentless plunge into second-guesses and secret plans. Liked it a LOT.

And in even MORE other news, five minutes ago I crossed the 20,000 word mark on Book 7. I don't think I've ever written this fast before. Looks like I'll have it done on time after all...

And to top it all off, here is some religious humour...


... some existential humour...


... and some cat humour...

Have you ever talked to A.L.I.C.E?

Sparky Braginski said...

...No?

Izz said...

It's a computer program that you can talk to and it will reply. The idea is that it convinces you it's human.

I started arguing with it........

Sparky Braginski said...

I'll see...

Sparky Braginski said...

LAST SONG, BRC!!!!

Izz said...

I just had this conversation half a minute ago:

ALICE: What are your goals in life?
Izzy: I want to be an illegal arms dealer.
ALICE: I don't see the difficulty.
Izzy: Well, if I get caught I'll go to prison.
ALICE: Try it.
Izzy: I will. Thanks.
ALICE: Go ahead. Don't mention it.

Sparky Braginski said...

Sparky Braginski said...

And now I'm listening Spin Around on Youtube.

I am obsessed with this song.

Sparky Braginski said...

I like Cleverbot better.

Izz said...

I've never tried that one.

Sparky Braginski said...

It's really funny when you start arguing with it.

Izz said...

Wunderbar.

Izz said...

Sparky Braginski said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Um, I'm sure it makes sense, Sparky, but I don't know what it means. Please elaborate.

Sparky Braginski said...

Have you read Echo's update?

You don't have too, and I acknowledge that you're in school term, but I like it when people comment there.

Eve the ROCK said...

I like it when people comment on my blog too. But they hardly ever do...

Oh! No, I haven't! I'll read it right now.

Sparky Braginski said...

When you update your blog next, I'll comment on it there.

Eve the ROCK said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

HELLO.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

SPARKY, YOU'RE STORY WITH IVY IS AWESOME.


Although, of course it is. Ivy's a character. But it's also just awesome in general!!!


*speaks to Sparky inside her head* I love that I can do this... It's so amazing...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

WHY IS THERE NEVER ANYONE HERE?!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Derek, in English today I was reading my signed copy of Playing With Fire. As you well know, you gave me the new paperbacks. And the paperbacks were meant for fixing spelling errors, yes? Well, I noticed one on page 177, in this paragraph:

Skulduggery's left hand came up to Vengeous's face, the fingers flexing, and Vengeous swatted the hand away before Skudluggery could push at the air. Vengeous punched, again and again, and grinned down at him.

If you didn't see it, it says Skudluggery, rather than Skulduggery.

I even checked in my other two copies of the book, and found it there, too...


So, if you ever have another paperback, you may want to fix that. Granted, it's not easy to see, but it's still there. And I saw it with my ninja-detectiveness. (My friends didn't even notice until I had pointed it out for the four hundredth time. They said it was the same until I said, "Skulduggery and Skudluggery don't sound the same! They aren't spelled the same, either!")

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*taps fingers on table impatiently* I need Sparky to tell me what she thinks of chapter five already...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*sighs irritably*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I WANNA TALK TO SOMEONE ALREADY!!! SOMEONE COME ON!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*opens up packet of Skittles* *starts laughing* Everytime I eat these I can only think of when Valkyrie pulls the half eaten pack of Skittles from her pocket as her 'gift to the Death Bringer' XD

Eve the ROCK said...

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes.

Not for long, I need to sleep.

Sparky Braginski said...

Well, I appear to be alone.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning, I have double elective History first thing.

That's excellent.

I cannot believe I'm in Year 9, it feels so...

Big.

Sparky Braginski said...

And I'm going to sleep now.

Nighty night Blogland!

Eve the ROCK said...

Aw. Bye Sparky. Anyone else?

Sparky Braginski said...

Sparky Braginski said...

Hi.


If I disappear, I've most likely gone back to sleep.

Lynxia Lost said...

What time is it for you?

Sparky Braginski said...

Yo, Shadow.

*yawns*

Rim. said...

im not actually on i just needed to change my pic...

Sparky Braginski said...

5:19am.

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm guessing it's pretty early!

(Thanks for commenting on my pic BTW!)

Sparky Braginski said...

Okay then Rim.

Sparky Braginski said...

The pic of Robin?

It's super amazing.

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm doing Maths and eating Maryland cookies and editing my picture of Percy Jackson I drew...

Lynxia Lost said...

Thanks Sparky!

Sparky Braginski said...

*rubs head*

As soon as I get the laptop tonight, I'm going to be posting a 'First Day Back' blog.

Rim. said...

im on!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~

Lynxia Lost said...

Oh is it your 1st day back! I've been back for about 3 weeks I think... Since 3rd of Jan.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm lying in bed in the dark listening to birds chirping and my alarm clock ticking.

I'm also thinking that if I get caught like this I'm very much dead.

But I doubt that will happen.

Sparky Braginski said...

I went back yesterday.

And I am never telling my librarian anything ever again.





































EVER.

Lynxia Lost said...

Why? (thinking about my school librarians and how they are quite friendly but always a little too happy)

Rim. said...

What happened?

Sparky Braginski said...

I told her about me winning the SP comp(that's the only thing that happened to me all holidays) and she forced me to write an e-mail to the school principle outlining what I did.

Which I don't want to do.

Lynxia Lost said...

Don't do it then. They're not proper teachers they can't make you do it.

Rim. said...

....... sorry

Rim. said...

Thats pointless!!!
id tell her i dont want to!!!

Sparky Braginski said...

But if I don't she won't trust me.

I believe in having strong bonds with your school librarians, because it's their job to get authors to come. *cough cough*

Lynxia Lost said...

You're not gonna do it are you Sparky?

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes I am.

I just won't include every little detail.

Lynxia Lost said...

Fair dooz.

Sparky Braginski said...

And I'll just have to pray to the Golden God that my principle/librarian don't google Sparky Braginski, or read the comment section.

Lynxia Lost said...

WTGG? *stares at Maths textbook*

They have printed the same question TWICE! Screw that! I'm not doing it again!

Sparky Braginski said...

That's stupid.

I read all of Echo so far last night and it took me half an hour.

It takes me half an hour to read five chapters of SP. I'm a little proud!

Lynxia Lost said...

When I get a new SP book I read it under an hour and then I spend the next couple of days mesmerizing it...

Sparky Braginski said...

Same.

I kinda gobble it down.

I normally read it super fast then read it again straight away.

I only do that with SP though.....

Lynxia Lost said...

Same! *high fives Sparky*

You read Percy Jackson?

Rim. said...

if they read the comments thatll be proper awkward!!!

Sparky Braginski said...

I read the Percy Jackson series, and it was my second favourite book series next to SP.

I like reading them, they're good.

Lynxia Lost said...

Yeah, they are. I've draw a pic of Percy holding a pen, hand on his hip, winking and saying 'Don't worry, I have a pen!'

Sparky Braginski said...

I don't really know what my second favourite book series is anymore...

Sparky Braginski said...

*giggles*

Okay, I need to see that.

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello...?

Rim. said...

not that i was here anyway
i g2g!!

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm editing it on my computer (first time I've ever done this, finger crossed it works) as soon as I'm done I'll put it up.

Sparky Braginski said...

Seeya Rim!

Sparky Braginski said...

*groans*

Y'know how Val is always talking about a new injury when she comes on?

Well yesterday I ran head first into a wall. She may be the Super Injury Magnet, but I am the Super Head-Injury Magnet!

And my head hurts.

Sparky Braginski said...

Good luck Shadow!

Sparky Braginski said...

I think I shall leave for about twenty mins...

Lynxia Lost said...

Bye Sparky and Rim! Will finish Percy pic as soon as I can.

Sparky Braginski said...

Or five.

Five works as well.

Sparky Braginski said...

It's raining behind me.

Brb.

Lynxia Lost said...

K

Rim. said...

Rim. said...

Sparky Braginski said...

Why does my blogger dashboard say that there are twenty post on collab effort when there are only nineteen?

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello goodbye Rim!

Sparky Braginski said...

Sparky Braginski said...
