Ever Since The October 22 Incident


Nathan Evo

938 views

What? You thought I lied? That I'd never be Premier again? That there would never be a blog named "FREE EASY MONEY!!!"?

 

Think again.

 

Awesome Christmas present, eh? Lifetime Premier membership. (Includes a FREE* proto boost!) Yes, I have gone Premier for as long as BZPower lives. And I won't forget about the blog!

 

Man, there's so many things that happened after the day my blog died... I'm going to go ahead and blabber them all out!

 

It all started October 31. Halloween.

 

My dad and I decided to skip the trick-or-treating this year and stay home and scare the kids for a change. By the time it was over, I had only a few victims.

 

My job was that I would be "chained" to the bench in my Buster (from Mythbusters) helmet from two Halloweens ago. (I call the costume "Buster's Revenge".) So, I chained myself to the bench and waited.

 

The first victims walked up to the candy and tried to grab it while they were pretty much terrified that I would jump up and scare them.

 

That was exactly what I did.

 

I looked and the brave one who tried to get candy was on the floor. I asked if they were okay, then I let them have their candy. They stepped down off the porch.

 

That's when my dad jumped out of the bushes in a gorilla suit. :P

 

--------------------

 

I found the best book ever before leaving for Thanksgiving vacation where I began to question whether or not people would really tell if I was on vacation or not. :P The book is called "BAT BOY LIVES!" It's several entries from faux newspaper "Weekly World News". I might tell some articles here, such as "SANTA FOUND FROZEN IN CHUNK OF ICE!" and "FOUR PEOPLE ENTER PORTABLE TOILET... AND MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR!"

 

The bookstore I usually pass was not on the way to the hotel, so I couldn't get it there. The Borders at the mall in my destination didn't have it. So I was stuck without this incredible book until the end of the vacation. :angry: I managed to get to the usual bookstore and find it, though, so it had a happy ending. :)

 

--------------------

 

Many things came between then and now... I can't remember them all... I'll just skip them and go to Christmas.

 

I did GREAT! My "goal" this year is to collect all 2008 Bionicle sets, and I only have Gali, Gorast, and Vultraz left! I managed to get Rockoe T3, Axalara T9, Skrall, Malum, Atakus, Raanu, Zesk, and Tarduk! (Hmm, same order as when I got the Toa Mata. I smell conspiracy.) Coincidentally, I obtained Pohatu and Lewa Phantoka 365 days before!

 

I also got a blue DS Lite. (My old one was broken anyway.) Not nearly as rare as Blade Titan974's golden one, but still pretty shiny. I also read about the DSi, which will ocme to the US later in 2009. I want it, too! WANT WANT WANT. But my DS Lite will still come in handy, as the DSi can't play GBA games like Quest for the Toa and Matoran Adventures.

 

Know what else I got? The computer I'm posting this on! Yup, I got a laptop! It's blue and it's pretty small. It doesn't have MalWarrior on it. (Thank Mata Nui!) The only problem is the shrinking text... But I'll find a way around it. I really like it. :)

 

I also recieved the Chuck Norris 2009 Box Calendar.

 

--------------------

 

So that's mainly what's been going on with my life that no one cares about. I hope you actually managed to read this, as I wasted, like, hours typing this junk.

Hey, I'm trying to get all of the 2008 sets too. I got Axalara for Christmas, so I just need Rockoh, Gali, Tahu, and Bitil.

 

Welcome back to blogging!

I always knew you'd become a Premier Member again. I would too but I would have to avoid any comments from my brother...

 

Halloween: I should try that too...If anyone ever decides to trick or treat in my street.

 

Vacation: That makes sense. :P

 

X-Mas: Dude, that's like $800. Depending on what price the laptop is. Exactly how much does your dad's job pay?

 

The blue one is pretty nice. Actually, mine is starting to lose some luster (Just so you know, if you've ever wondered what it looks like, it's just like this. As you can see, it's a Zelda special edition. :D ). I doubt they would make a special gold DSi though. And for those who do not know, the Nintendo DSi is thinner, yet larger, then the Nintendo DS Lite, with two cameras, larger screens, new "lights" that represent battery level, Wifi connectivity, and I think the one lit when recharging, and much more. ^_^ I don't know why I put that though...

oh hai gerlicky :D

I seriously laughed. :D

Well, the first group came, I was confused and didn't do anything, my dad jumped out in a gorilla suit and no one even jumped.

Hmm. Hope you achieve that.

 

I was so used to that yellow Jetrax of mine (I got it before Halloween. Hey, that's something I forgot to say!) that when I finished the Axalara T9, I instantly thought "Man, this thing is huge!"

 

Hey, it's back!

I saw an infomercial advertising a product with the same name as this blog once. :P

Ugh... Don't buy it. It goes into your social security checks, which none of us wil get in a long, long time.

The laptop is very small. In fact, it's not as wide as my foot is long. It's a high quality laptop, though, so the price could range anywhere from $200 to $600. I don't know... I was the one getting it.

 

I first heard- or READ- of the DSi in Nintendo Power (magazine). The camera on the back of the top screen is not a high-quality camera; it's for built-in editing software. The camera where the microphone is on the Nintendo DS Lite is for taking pictures of yourself.

 

The Power button has been moved on the bottom-left of the screen to avoid accidentally shutting it down. Tapping the Power Button will return you to the menu- holding it turns it off.

 

The main menu looks a little like the Wii's.

 

I like posting stuff like this. :P

 

oh thanks dlakii :D

 

Wow, I finish my comment review and VakamaTK's approval appears before my eyes! I have added it to the "Approvals" block.

Good luck finding Mazeka. The store exclusives are sometimes really rare after Christmas. Last year I spent the last few days of the year searching everywhere for Karzahni. TRU was out (and they didn't have any 2008 sets either). The only website that wasn't sold out of Karzahni was the Canadian Toys 'R Us website. And they don't ship to the US. :(

 

So this year I decided to order Vultraz and Mazeka off S@H. I don't have them, but I own them.

Also Gerlicky, I know what you mean about Axalara. I have this cardboard box that I keep my Bionicle boxes in, and Jetrax barely fit. Then I got Axalara, and I immidiately realized there was no possible chance of cramming the box in there whatsoever.

 

I've been trying to get all of the sets of one year since 2006, excluding playsets. I missed Umbra in 2006, and Karzahni in 2007. But this year I've formulated a strategy that looks like it works:

 

1. GET STORE EXCLUSIVES. These are the hardest to find.

2. Get all other titans/small sets

3. Get the canister sets. These are usually around until the Winter/Summer sets after them come out. The Mahri were still in stores up until the Mistika came out.

Welcome back! Now, for a review...

 

Halloween: That was... interesting. I did nothing this Halloween. Next year, I might have something planned...

 

Thanx-Break: Did it have the one about Marilyn Monroe getting bit by a Vampire? :P

 

Christmas/Holidays: No sets for me. :P But I don't mind. I got a nice drawing pad for the computer, and the movie "A Hard Day's Night..."

 

I read about the DSi as well. One word: WANT.

I actually read about it MONTHS ago. Though I didn't get too much details other than the 2 cameras and new arrangement until I got a recent issue of GameInformer.

 

Also, I tried to get Karzahni for Christmas too. But it was sold out, of course. Amazingly, I managed to get Lesovikk 5 dollars less than the usual Hawaii price.

Yeah, I've been spoiled this year. I only need Mazeka, yellow Jetrax, and Radiak.

Hmm. That would be pretty expensive.

 

Do you already own the blue Jetrax?

That's almost my plan. If a set is huge and rare, it would be best to buy it first.

 

I actually decided that there are two sets that I'm not counting in my plot to buy all '08 sets. They count if I buy them, but they don't if I can't manage to get them. These sets are the blue Jetrax T6 and the Klakk. I own neither.

Thanx-Break: Did it have the one about Marilyn Monroe getting bit by a Vampire? :P

No. It did had several stories, all with one point: "ELVIS IS ALIVE!"

I managed to buy my Karzahni at TRU buy begging on vacation and use of gift cards. The only thing left from that set is Sarda.

 

I had a nice long reply.

 

Blasted board message ruined it.

 

*growls*

 

I'll just cut to the chase.

Solution to shrinking text: Ctrl & '+'

makes the entire screen larger

As for the rest of the stuff:

Great to see your back gerlicky, missed you!

Had all of the 08 sets since Summer(Got to love the job!)

Have Tarduk, Skrall, and Vorox for o9 sets

the halloween gag was simular to my own, with minor changes(costumes mostly)

Chritmas bit on my end, family fought all day, dinner was burnt, i didn't get squat(literally, not ONE gift!), and to top it all off, my brother wound up in the ER!!!

So, easy to say this was worst X-mas EVER!!!!

Well, one thing I'd very much wish is to know just what kind of laptop you have. That way I can look it up on the 'net and check out the specs. d=

Thanks! That's a big help.

 

Anyway, nice to see you too, Ynot! Sorry about X-mas, hope you get a better one next year.

Wait, what?

 

I'm not overly sure I can spell it. It's a blue Acer AspireOne. (Or however it's spelled. I give up.)

I believe you're pretty much correct with the name. Looked it up on Wikipedia, and it's shiny. :drooling: Though, I heard Acer isn't a really good company. But the stuff it has do look cool. :D
