Talk to Tom: Week of Dec. 30 — Winter Break Reading

Hey everybody!

Sam and I are both back from the holidays. We DID keep an eye on the site and I tried about 50 times to upload a picture of the Lego Jabba’s Palace I got for Christmas.

Just a reminder: All TRIANGULAR entries are due on Dec. 31st! Showcase will appear on Jan. 1. (No not at midnight. Look for it mid-afternoon)

This week’s question: What are you going to read during your time off?

I will hopefully finish a sci-fi novel I’ve been slogging through. (Great author, but so far book is not his best.) And I want to start on a Terry Pratchett novel, Truckers.

Answer in the comments below… or just say hi or ask a question or anything else that’s nice and non-Harvey-like!



Emperor_Gonk_Droid


I think I might’ve entered mine a little late….

DarthKitteh


Hi Tom, Hi Superfolders

For Christmas I got Art2-D2’s guide to folding and doodling! It is EPIC/STOOKY! I have made an epic Princess Leia after many,many atempts, an Art2, Darth Paper (easy version) and loads more. That book is the best!

P.S You are sooooo lucky getting Jabba’s Palace! My bro got the milenium falcon!

Ghostbuster


I used to have the first 3 books, but I (somehow) lost the first 3 books. And on christmas, I got the first 2 books.

SF_Cau2134


I read Jedi Academy which is an stooky star wars book.

stookyman62

sf_rancorman

Hayden_skywalker


hey tom I forgot to ask you this question a long time ago but I wasnt a SF yet. So any ways I know you dont want to but a long time ago somebody asked you to tell how to make an origami c3p0 in FAQ and you said that it was too sloppy and that we wouldnt think it was very good. So could you tell how to make that particular origami c3po that you were talking about?

Jessenia


🙁 harvey

ILuvOrigamiYoda


SF_PaperDragon, that was Harveyish. Why are you acting that way? You’re usually a nice and awesome dude!

TomAngleberger


Hopefully, the one in Art2D2 is good enough….

Hayden_skywalker


Come on tom… please.

stookyman62


Do it Tom!!! for the SFs!!!

SFDarkPalkia


STOOKY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hayden_skywalker


The showcase will appear on jan. 1… BUT NOT MIDNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Iv ben waiting all night and its 11.20 as we speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALMOST 12.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ONLY 40 MORE MINUTES AND NOW IV GOT TO MAKE IT THRU THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I’m kind of going overboard about this. Its just that I did something for the Triangular thingy and Im getting really exited about some things that some people are going to do and…well…uhh…yeah…that is pretty much it. (And Im not really serious about that.The entire thing was supposed be a jok)e

Jessenia


New year!

Jessenia


I won money from playing bingo, family style. 🙂

FawnWilliams


I read “The Surprise Attack Of Jabba The Puppett” twice over already. I was wondering something- does everything on this site have to be star wars related or can we post some other nerdy oragami too? =P

FawnWilliams


Oh and another question, when will the next book be released in stores? I need to know so my mom can buy it for the appropriate occasion.

FawnWilliams


thanks Mr. Foldtrooper =)

TomAngleberger


Sure, post any origami you make on the site!

And the book comes out in early March.

Welcome aboard!

luluthejedi

Yodamaster


Speaking of reading things, has anyone read any Orson Scott Card? Like the Ender’s series?

Jessenia


I wanted to read it but I never get a chance

YodaSF


A Jabba’s Palace LEGO set? Triangular! The books I have been reading over break were Ender’s Game, The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett, and the Soldiers of Halla (Pendragon). If there are any sci-fi fans here, then you MUST read the Pendragon series by D.J MacHale! He’s such a great author!

OrigamiCaptainRex


Anybody like Ranger’s Apprentice

luluthejedi

SFDarkPalkia


My fave Pokemon is Palkia, hence my username.

TomAngleberger


My favorite is Snorelax!

YodaSF


Uhhh, it’s Snorlax. Don’t worry though…he’s my favorite too! BTW, what sci-fi novel are you reading, Tom? I love sci-fi novels and I’m always looking for more.

Jessenia


I<3 Squirtil! I forgot how to spell it

sfzach_plokoon_gami


My favorite is Lucario!

luluthejedi

SF_Austin_M


Tom once requested me to make him an origami Snorlax… I gave it to him on August 6th in Murfreesboro.

Jabba_thepuppet


Divergent!

luluthejedi


star wars pokemon = pokemon OP the empire with lightsabers and pokemon attacks!

StookyMaster


I got the Wimpy Kid DIY Book SIGHNED! yes, SIGNED! now i need to get a book sighned by Tom

Jessenia


Stooky!

SF_Austin_M


Tom, are you gonna be in TN for the Princess L tour? I’d love it if you could come to Columbia, Murfreesboro, or Nashville. Also, my little brother, SF ZachM, suggested that you make the next book after Jabba about Leia. Did you use his idea?

SF_Austin_M


Franklin or Brentwood would be good too.

TomAngleberger


Wish I could!But… no…

TomAngleberger


As for ZachM’s suggestion…. I guess it worked!

JC


Hey Tom, I need your help on something.

For the Origami Yoda and the Bounty Hunters OY EU story, I’m having a hard time writing dialogue for Dwight. I mean, he can be very random and off-topic most of the time, but I also need to get a point across or move the plot through his speech. Any tips?

JC


Days after TSCOOY

TomAngleberger


Well, remember Dwight can sometimes be completely rational and sometimes completely “purple.”

If he is really interested in what is going on, he’ll speak clearly. If he’s bored, he’ll make no sense at all.

StookyCuts


on dec 18 was my bday and i ordered a lego lotr lego set battle of helms deep i got it at the day be for cristmas what ever you spell it and its pretty big

sfecho


i got helms deep for christmas last year, and the republic gunship this year.

Strat_Man26

CJVK


I got palpatine’s arrest lego set for Christmas. As for reading…I dunno. Whichever way the wind blows, I guess.

SFRobby


I’m going to read Happy Happy Happy by Phil Robertson with Mark Schlabach!

LukeandR2


Also, my mom made me read the one and only ivan (which is suuuuuuuuper wiiiiiiieeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrd!!!)

TomAngleberger


Sure, I’ve read Ivan!

It was written by the woman who was one-half of the Animorphs team. She is super nice and was a big help to Cece when Cece was just getting started.

LukeandR2


All the origami yoda books of course.

Darth_Scissorous


I’m reading The Jedi Path book.

SuperFolder_Zod


Surprise plot twist:

My book is Peter Pan. I never really took time to read all the classics, so that’s what I’ve been doing lately.

TomAngleberger


Reading classics can be good, but …. ug… I hate Peter Pan.

My favorite classic: The Secret Garden.

Yodamaster


Nooooo Tom!!!! Peter Pans amazing!!!!

sfzach_plokoon_gami


I agree with Tom.

SFSlickSkillet


I finished Cubeworld yesterday so I’ll read The Invisible Man

by H.G. Wells.

SF_Austin_M


My Christmas was stooky! I got Jabba’s Palace as well and the Jek-14 ship! The Jek ship is awesome, but I haven’t built the Palace yet because I’m in Florida, and I live in Tennessee. Plus I might get the RANCOR PIT! Yeah! Anyway, I already read my new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, which was Hard Luck by the way, and now I’m reading Stranded 3: Survivors by Jeff Probst. It’s really good, and I highly recommend it.

Tom, I submitted my thing for the triangular showcase! It’s really good!

SFRobby


I have the Jabba’s Palace, sail barge, rancor pit, and desert skiff! It is stooky to have a shelf full of Jabba!

SF_Austin_M


Yeah… I’m not sure where I’m gonna put my X-Wing and my giant R2 I got lat year for Christmas. I may move them near my Lego Kingdoms Joust set and put my palace near R2… I dunno. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

sfzach_plokoon_gami


Hey Tom, remeber the blogroll post? when will the blogroll be updated?

TomAngleberger


Hopefully Sam will get to that in the next week or so.

StookyLukey


The last book in the rangers apprentice series: the royal ranger

SFDarkPalkia

sfzach_plokoon_gami

SFDarkPalkia

TomAngleberger

Kit_Fisto

SFDarkPalkia


Ditti

SFDarkPalkia


Sorry I meant Ditto.

TomAngleberger


Wow, Beowulf is hard core reading, depending on the translation.

SF_Firk


Dog. beowolf was written by midlevel dudes, Percy Jackson is gonna be better.

SF_Firk

Jessenia

SF_Firk
