Early Wednesday Morning Check In
Posted on April 28, 2010 Posted by John Scalzi 24 Comments
Well, the thing I came to California to do is done, and it went pretty well, if I do say so myself, and I’m sure I will tell you about it when I can tell you about it, which isn’t right this moment. For now, just know I’m happy about it.
And now my plan is to lapse into unconsciousness and then get up at a ridiculously early hour, because I have to be at an airport to fly home. As one often does when one travels. I’ll check in with you all Wednesday evening, when I get home. Stay off the furniture until then, okay?
You went to California to kill a man. You can’t fool us.
Oops, I dropped a chip or two when I sat on the couch. My bad.
You didn’t really think I’d sit on the floor to watch your TV, did you?
Your posts never fail to amuse me.
Oops, sorry. I think I sat on the remote. It doesn’t seem to work any more. Stupid cheap-ass remotes.
So, you can’t yet reveal to us that you signed the deal that will bring an In-N-Out franchise to your small Ohio town?
“Stay off the furniture until then, okay?”
At least you’re not ordering us off your lawn.
Did your secret thing in CA involve Thandie Newton, a hot tub full of Mountain Dew, and a glowing MacGuffin in a reptile skin suitcase?
“Stay off the furniture until then, okay?”
You must be tired. You accidentally posted this email intended for Kodi on your blog!
Marko Kloss@8
Don’t be ridiculous. Why would John have a reptile skin suitcase?
:-)
O.K., the idea behind the Preview button is to actually CHECK that there aren’t any typos…
So the evil maguffins from the future have been thwarted once more?
John,
Looking at the timestamp of your post, it reminds me of my Mom intoning that “nothing good happens after midnight”.
I think Mom needed to get out more…
John:
When are your Hollywood employers going to pony up the dough and install a Stargate on your property? Then you wouldn’t be so tuckered out from all that air travel.
Best,
Sean
Stay off the furniture? But it’s so good for sitting, and, and, naps!
I’m going to ignore that piece of instruction, thank you very much.
Peter @1, don’t be silly. He killed a man in Nevada. All this “California” nonsense was the alibi.
Mythago @15
Interestingly, not in Reno, but in Laughlin, and not for the expected reason of watching him die, but because of a particularly bad Amazon review…
And by bad, I mean poorly written.
I like Peter’s (#1) explanation
I heard John was trying out for next season’s Dancing with the Stars. Can’t wait for the foxtrot, dude.
Not Dancing with the Stars. He’s in line to replace Simon on American Idol. They need someone who can really bring the snark, and John can turn it on and off at will.
Do you think you can vague that up for us a little, Mr. Scalzi?
So, I’m guessing a cameo in SG:U. Will you be blue?
Glad whatever the secret project is went well.
Happier still you took the Ohio weather with you when you left; I was very upset with the wet and cold as was my pain-ometer. Next time, please don’t play weather wizard unless Ohio is sunny and at least 85F out with no humidity, okay?
You’re basically just a big tease, you know that, right?
And now that you’re gone, our nice weather is back.
