About The Scarlett Kite
Hi! I'm Scarlett Kiteway, I'm 20 years old, a journalism student in Perplex City and this is my blog all about the excitement over the search for the Cube. I'll be keeping track of what the media over there is saying about it, and maybe a little bit about my life as well!

I'm going to be on the radio!
Category: radio, 12:58 PMThis is very exciting! I haven't said anything about it before I heard for certain, but I'm going to do a radio interview for a station in Britain! It's called TalkSport and it'll be broadcast... er, sorry about this, between 3.30am and 5am on Monday morning - you can listen to it online at www.talksport.net, and I'll see if I can link to it afterwards. I'm going to be on the radio! [does a little dance]

It's blogtastic!
Category: web, 02:56 PMHere we are, mentioned in some other people's blogs... This is a mention on blogging.la - I seem to be causing some confusion, but it all seems pretty simple to me :-). And here is an entry by a guy who recently got an article in the Sentinel (it's here). It's a great article with some interesting views but... boo - why can't I get an article in the Sentinel? Still, looking forward to hearing more from you guys.

E3!
Category: web, 04:39 PMOMG! The guys at Mind Candy are having the most incredible time at the E3 convention in Los Angeles... they've been sending me all their news and keeping me up to date with how it's going. They've met a whole bunch of journalists, and some of the people on Earth who are already looking for the Cube. It seems like my dad was right - people are getting just as excited about the game as I am! Also, they've been schmoozing the celebrities too. They met Wil Wheaton and Virgil Tatum who's apparently some famous game designer. No fair - I wanna be there!

You guys are strange....
Category: web, 10:48 PMThe nice folks at MC sent me a link to this strange but really funny video clip. It's some sort of spoof of my Dad and Adrian. I have no idea what language it's in though... maybe I'll ask Anna at the Academy what she thinks :-). And it's certainly not accurate, since Dad and Adrian haven't ever met in real life!
Oh, also, I keep meaning to say thanks for all the emails you've sent me about the parcels; I'm really glad you enjoyed them! Some of you naughtily asked me for the answer to my dad's little riddle... very cunning, but I'm sure you understand why I couldn't answer that!

Auction update
Category: web, 02:10 PMThat auction I mentioned the other day went for 67 British pounds - that's over 1,300 Lecks. If only I could sell things over Ebay... I can't imagine what you'd pay for some of the documents my father just leaves lying around the house!

It's tonight!
Category: tv, 11:32 AMJust in case you guys forget (I know I'd forget....), that programme about MC and Perplex City is being broadcast tonight. Here's the link to them again.
Also... seems like a perfect time to give my explanation of keys! So the Earthology guy at the Academy, Von, said that you should think of them as a combination of: "a phone, a TV, a video, a computer, a stereo, an MP3 player, a bank card, a passport, a house key..." and some other things he couldn't think of a good analogy for. And, um, mine's red with a little kite logo on it.

Broadcast fame!
Category: tv, 02:50 PMI spoke to the guys at MC on Friday (even though my Dad's not so sure I should... something about neither of his daughters knowing when to keep quiet. I think he's still a bit annoyed with Violet about that interview) and they were super excited about the fact that a broadcast feed service called the BBC were in their studio filming them talking about Perplex City! It seems that Michael and Adrian are going to appear on a "television" program called The Culture Show, which will be shown in the UK on the 12th May at 7pm UK time. I think how this works is that you have to make sure to watch it at a particular time... don't quite get that, but anyway, make sure you catch it!

Ebay auction action!
Category: web, 04:55 PMHello again! I guess from the emails I've been receiving that you've all found the sites my dad's put up for you to look at, huh? Can you imagine how difficult it's been for me not to talk about any of this stuff? My dad's had all these high-level meetings in the house with the CRR people, Academy people and even the founder of Whipsmart! Obviously, I hear stuff - I've practically had to stop talking altogether to avoid letting everything out!
Anyway, phew, at least this first bit's out of the way now that you've got your parcels and Leitmarks. On the subject of which... MC sent me this link from Ebay. Wow! That's already more than 1,000 Lecks! (Sound of me contemplating what I could do with 1,000 Lecks. Nice dinner for two on Mobius? Now, who would I take...?)
