Oh, you know. Updates and stuff. The usual drill.

Hello!

Oof. I haven't written on here for ages. But let's be honest - I haven't been in the country for ages either. Not really. I went out and bought a laptop some little while ago, simply so that when I'm in some strange city I could feel I wasn't entirely cut off from my family and friends. What I've discovered, though, is that I'm rubbish at ( Read more... )

Good to read an update, Rob. Enjoy the sun and the noodles and of course meeting Singapore's answer to Bill Turnbull.

...Well, I'll enjoy the sun and the noodles. Two out of three ain't bad.

I'm hoping that the Roadkill didn't have anything to do with that little incident on the trip from the airport to the hotel at Swancon. (I swear that was the first time I'd seen anyone come onto the GF Freeway by way of an exit ramp).

Congrats on all the books coming out. I can't remember how humid it is in Singapore at this time of year. I've only been there in February where it was pretty moist.

Ha! But no-one died during that road incident. Especially not a peculiar looking rabbit with the wings of a bat...

I'm prepared to brave the humidity. With buckets of cold water if necessary.

Well, technically, I wrote most of this stuff in 2008. So that was the Year of Rob.

But nobody noticed. Ha.

Hooray for a year of projects! I can't wait to read/hear/see all of them. The BBC Radio one sounds especially interesting-- I'm somewhat curious as to how many people will suggest 'Rocks fall. Everyone dies.' every week.

Enjoy Singapore! From what I understand, the dress code is shirt and tie (and trousers, obviously) but because of the humidity you can forgo the jacket. I've not been there, though, sadly, so I'm not sure.

'Rocks fall. Everyone dies.'

It's probably a good thing I'm not British, because I don't know how I could resist sending that one in.

robshearman August 24 2009, 02:15:39 UTC

Oh, I expect you can join in anyway! I think so long as you can get into the BBC website, you can still make me dance like a monkey puppet.

robshearman August 24 2009, 02:14:52 UTC

I think the deal is that the BBC producers select one each week - the one I'll find most difficult.

Frankly, rocks falling is really easy dialogue. Because most of it is 'aaaaaarrrrghhh.' So I bet they weed those out.

Congratulations on the books coming out! My friend Steve (from work) has been wondering when the X-Files one was going to happen. We were actually talking about it yesterday during the overlapping half of our lunches. (Well, that and speculating on Moffat's Who.)

I'm really looking forward to the short story collection. Have been, actually, ever since you were talking about the stuff you were writing for it. I can't wait to find out what happened to Luxembourg.

robshearman August 24 2009, 02:17:27 UTC

The X-Files has been ready for a while, but I think it's been delayed because of bigger books that had to be released first. Or something. I'll be intrigued to see it too. I no longer remember what I thought of individual series, let alone episodes, and want to see whether I'm allowed to enjoy them or not.

Bad bad stuff happened to Luxembourg. You'll see.
