Hello Nerds

I had such a lazy day yesterday.  Still can’t believe the odds of it.  Was looking forward to Labor Day and then I get sick.

Oh well.

In one day I watched:

GI Joe Retaliation – Oddly, it sucked less the second time.

Kingsman:  The Secret Service – it was great

Unfinished Business – Silly Vince Vaughn comedy thought it was better/more touching than I thought it would be.  All about the underdog starting his own company, worrying about keeping his family and his two employees happy, all the worries you have when you have people depending on you.

My posts have been definitely been lacking since September rolled around but I hope you’ll bare with me.  I’m putting a lot of time into 31 Zombie Authors.

That’s right.  31 days in October.  31 zombie authors will be interviewed.  In between the interviews, there will be a fun story about East Randomtown being invaded by zombies.

I, BQB, Video Game Rack Fighter, and Alien Jones band together to stop them.  Occasionally, we take a break and call zombie authors for help.

I Am One Sick Nerd

Boo.  I’ve come down with the flu on my day off from Beige Corp, the world’s premiere producer of beige products and accessories.

What horrible timing.

Oh well.  At least I was able to catch up on my movie watching.  I finally checked out The Kingsman.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  Something fun and different.

Happy Labor Day nerds.

Now he’s just getting lazy…

shutterstock_120849070Sorry folks.

Alien Jones, the Esteemed Brainy One, is taking yet another Sunday off.  He promises to be back next Sunday with a brand new Ask the Alien column.  He has a few questions to get to, but if you have one, please send it his way and he’ll get to it sooner or later.

Don’t forget, self publishing authors who ask the alien a question will get plugs for their books and/or blogs.

Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend!

People, the tiny characters who live on my shelves are real, but you can pretend to be a magic bookshelf caretaker just like me by assembling your toys on your shelves and tweeting the photos to @bookshelfbattle #bookshelfbattles

Let the bookshelf battles rage on!

By the way, did anyone get any Force Friday toys?

  • Asked by someone other than me because you know, I’m an adult so I don’t care.  Whatevs.

Hey 3.5

I’m still mired in writing the zombie apocalypse at the moment.  Wish I had more for you today, but it will be worth it when October arrives!

I’m behind in responding to comments but will get back to you all soon.  Keep them coming!

BQB’s Upcoming Zombie Apocalypse

Hey 3.5 Readers –

I hope you’ll take a minute to read the Intro to BQB’s upcoming zombie apocalypse.

Here’s what you’ll find on this blog come October.

  • East Randomtown, BQB’s hometown, will be overrun by zombies, thanks to the bumbling (or evil?) Dr. Hugo Von Science
  • Every day, there will be a new excerpt from BQB’s zombie apocalypse survivor’s journal.
  • And each day, a different zombie author will check in to advise our noble blog host on how to fight the undead hordes

This October, join Bookshelf Q. Battler, his main squeeze, Video Game Rack Fighter, their intergalactic green friend Alien Jones aka the Esteemed Brainy One and other Bookshelf Battle Blog regulars as they fight for their survival.

Pop Culture Mini Mysteries with Informant Zero – Mr. T’s Real Name Revealed/What Does Lady Gaga Live For?

Salutations 3.5 readers.

Informant Zero

Informant Zero

Informant Zero here, returning once again with another pop culture mini mystery.

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION: What is Mr. T’s real name?

ANSWER: Lawrence Tureaud.  Word has it that Lawrence began wearing gold chains and jewelry while working as a bouncer. Unruly patrons would get into fights, cause trouble, and be ejected. Whenever they accidentally left jewelry behind, Mr. T would wear the items so he could give them to said difficult patrons when they’d inevitably return for them, thus preventing them from entering the club where they would most likely cause trouble again.

See Mr. T’s Wikipedia Page for more info.

Next week’s question:  Lady Gaga lives for something.  What is it?

Tweet your guesses to @bookshelfbattle or leave them in the comments.

And remember, 3.5.

A lost truth can always be found.

More on Zombies

Hey 3.5,

Sorry, another day where I don’t have much for you.  I’m currently working on #31ZombieAuthors.

Let me tell you a little bit about it.

  • Each day will have an excerpt from BQB’s Survivor’s Journal.  The beginning, where the zombie apocalypse starts due to a Dr. Hugo experiment gone wrong is available right here on this site.
  • Each excerpt will lead in to the zombie author interview of the day.
  • I’m focusing my efforts on this right now because I’m so excited so many authors have agreed to participate.
  • The ongoing story is pretty funny, if I do say so myself.  Alien Jones is really stealing the show.

Here’s hoping I have more for you tomorrow.

If you’re a zombie author, please join in.  If you know one, send them on over here.
