Gah, I'm back in the dorms, and I have certainly been better. For starters, I'm not quite healthy yet... but that'll have to wait until after classes this week. Secondly, my room appeared to be infested with this little flies. How did they get there? I took alot of time to clean up my dorm room before I left, cleaning up all my food and dusting everything and even vacuuming... and I don't have Lehvak Kal's natural powers either! But the room is just crawling with these small flying insects. They're easy enough to kill... I like to knock them out of the air and them smash them with my foot. But there are alot of them, and potentially eggs being laid in places I can't get to. Arg, what did I miss when I cleaned up?

... apparently my roommate's side. He had some food stuff in the bottom of his dresser, but he had to leave early for winter break and never got a chance to clean up. I tried, but I didn't go too deep. Well, I remember one of those bugs was in the room before I left, and it multiplied, thanks to his food. However, now that we found the spot, I think we can kill the rest of the population before they regain their power in numbers. Obviously it hasn't been a great start of the year, and that is only the irritating thing that happened...

In other news, Defilak has also been showing some bug-like qualities in his set-form in my room (formerly).

Defilak.

(Am I spelling that right? Do I care?)

Obviously, not much has changed on him. What you can't see is the fact that his back body structure has been rearranged slightly, but this is not to make him better, but is more due to the fact that I wanted his +00+ pieces and tried to keep him holding together even without them. No, but the cool thing is his doubled up staffs, which now resemble claws. A basic design at first. but very effective. They're fun to snap open and shut, and it's much better than Carapar's claws. While Carapar's can spin freely so that they look incredibly fake, Defilak's arm piece restricts the motion of the claw, so it can only be closed and opened at about a 90 degree angle. This, claws with restrictions... perfect! I think it would be great for a mini Nidhiki... especially since the mask was suppose to be made for Nidhiki's Toa character in the first place. If I have the chance later on, I may again use this claw design.

And, you know, these new claws may help the Matoran out against the Barraki... or not. Oh well, it makes him look cooler and way more fun to play with.
