ThePhan: OH MY GOSH QUEST FOR SKYE WHY ARE YOU SO AWFUL
Maryam: LOL
Goosey: LOL
TalkingDog: That sounds bad.
Maryam: I can't wait for this post now.
ThePhan: Morgan takes Skye back to her parents and compliments them on how awesome she is, and this happens:
ThePhan: The doctor drew a loud breath. “You don’t know just how special she is.”
ThePhan: "Drew a loud breath"?
ThePhan: A gasp?
Maryam: Er. Uh.
ThePhan: A sigh?
ThePhan: NEITHER ONE MAKES SENSE
ThePhan: AND WHY IS HE DRAWING LOUD BREATHS WHEN HE IS HOLDING HIS SLEEPING DAUGHTER IN HIS ARMS?
TalkingDog: Were they playing abstract Pictionary?
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: TD: LOL LOL
ThePhan: LOL, the sentence after that one: "Morgan thought about that for a few seconds as Malinda retrieved her daughter from her husband’s arms."
ThePhan: He's probably trying to figure out why the doctor was gasping.
Maryam: My guess is it's one of those breaths you draw when you're about to say something unpleasant.
ThePhan: Maybe. I wonder if there's about to be a secret revealed.
Maryam: Like that she's terminally ill or something.
ThePhan: Maybe.
ThePhan: Maybe it's meant to be foreshadowing and is just awful.
ThePhan: Because they don't mention anything more about it on the next page.

ThePhan: "Morgan cast a look in the direction of Skye’s room. There were no sounds. He was glad for a few minutes alone with the physician."
ThePhan: If this was a bad fanfic, that would be the cue for a sex scene.
Maryam: LOL
ThePhan: However, I am quite sure there will be no sex in this book, nor male-male love, so all we are left with is that Morgan wants to be alone with the physician FOR NO REASON AT ALL THAT HE STATES.
wintermute: Maybe he has a burning sensation when he pees, and it would be embarrassing to ask about it in front of the rest of the family.
ThePhan: LOL LOL
ThePhan: This is going to be a really good chapter, guys.
ThePhan: None of it makes any sense.

South Carolina Weather
ThePhan: As much as I didn't like the dinky town I was in, I really enjoyed the climate of South Carolina.
ThePhan: Generally very nice - neither too warm nor too high.
ThePhan: Too high?
ThePhan: I was going to say too hot, but even that doesn't make sense.
ThePhan: I'M TRYING TO SAY THE WEATHER WAS NICE
Goosey: Phan: you are TOO HIGH
ThePhan: LOL LOL LOL

3000 Miles Too Far
Sentynel: Dave: Dude, there's an American guy who started at work recently who looks just like you. Did you accidentally move to old England rather than New England?
Goosey: LOL
Dave: Sentynel: Oh crap, I THOUGHT the Indian food was far better than I remembered. Also that everybody talked kind of funny.
Dave: I went 3000 miles too far!
Dave: My car is awesome like that.
Dave: I hope nobody minds I forgot to get a work Visa.
Goosey: 3,000 too far, and over an ocean! Best car ever!
Goosey: Just sell Chitty Chitty Bang Bang there and retire.
Goosey: LOL

Che Guevara Tattoo
ThePhan: So last night Jacob couldn't sleep, so he got up in the middle of the night and went out and watched some TV.
ThePhan: When he came back to bed, I was mostly asleep, but I opened my eyes when he came back in the room.
ThePhan: He was wearing the same Heath Ledger Joker T-shirt he was wearing when he left the room, but in my not-really-awake-at-all state, I thought he wasn't wearing a shirt at all but had a giant Che Guevara tattoo on his chest.
ThePhan: I remember thinking vaguely, "When did he get that done? Is that why he left? I'm not sure I'm OK with that," and then promptly going right back to sleep.
ThePhan: That's what happens when I'm not awake enough to respond to the world around me. Heh.

Sleep Talking: The Thing With the Lightsabers
ThePhan: So last night, Jacob muttered something I couldn't understand.
ThePhan: I said, "What are you talking about?"
ThePhan: He said, "The... the thing with the lightsabers."
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: I figured he was asleep and headed back to sleep.
ThePhan: Suddenly he says, "What was I just talking about?"
ThePhan: Me: "I don't know. Lightsabers."
Goosey: hahaha
ThePhan: Him: "Ugggh. You shouldn't let me say things when I'm asleep."
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: Me: "...It was fine. It was funny."
ThePhan: Him: "There's probably some continuity there, though, with the lightsabers."
ThePhan: Me: "...What?"
ThePhan: Him: (Asleep for real again)
ThePhan: He remembers the second half of the conversation, but he's not sure why he was so upset by it.
ThePhan: Heh.
Goosey: lol
Goosey: That's awesome.
ThePhan: But apparently it's my responsibility to keep him from sleep talking.
Goosey: Duct tape?
ThePhan: LOL
ThePhan: I said, "What are you talking about?"
ThePhan: He said, "The... the thing with the lightsabers."

The Flying Car
TalkingDog: I didn't understand a lot of Grease for a long time. I just liked the songs.
TalkingDog: Now I don't like the songs.
Goosey: lol
ThePhan: Haha
ThePhan: I still like the songs, but I think the story is pretty awful.
ThePhan: Least romantic ending EVER.
Goosey: LOL yeah
Goosey: SHE had to do all the changing, ultimately.
TalkingDog: Then they somehow fly the car to OUTER SPACE AND SUFFOCATE. Works for me.
Goosey: LOL LOL
Goosey: RIGHT
Goosey: WHAT IS UP WITH THE FLYING CAR
TalkingDog: Where they're going, they don't need roads.
Goosey: LOL
TalkingDog: Every single thing ever should cross over with Back to the Future at some point.
Goosey: hahaha yes
* TalkingDog pictures Christopher Lloyd in Braveheart, looking at William Wallace, and he starts to say his line, but he stops, looks at the camera, and shakes his head.
Goosey: LOL LOL
ThePhan: LOL
TalkingDog: Now I don't like the songs.

The Right Amount of Clouds
* ThePhan writes this weeks' Quest for Skye blog.
* Nyperold looks forward to it.
wintermute: Spoiler alert: It's off the west coast of Scotland.
ThePhan: Here is a teaser: the chapter's opening sentence is "The lowering sun and the right amount of clouds hinted a spectacular sunset."
ThePhan: THIS GUY SHOULD NOT BE WRITING
wintermute: If the sun is lowering, that is a good sign there will be a sunset soon.
Nyperold: Ah, but will it be spectacular?
ThePhan: Apparently that depends on having the right amount of clouds.
Nyperold: The right amount of clouds seems to be key.
ThePhan: I'm leaving it up to my blog readers to guess how many clouds are "the right amount."
wintermute: If there are too many clouds, you can't see the sunset. So that would be the wrong amount.
Nyperold: Or you could have fewer clouds, but they're all massive.
