Deal with it.
Okay?

Edit: Someone just bumped my blog rating down by .1.
I think it was Arpy. Nevermind. Arpy's losing again. Not that this is a competition. The war begins now.
After more than a decade of being frustrated by this game, I've finally finished it. A number of years ago I got past the championship but hadn't collected all the crystals and so was stuck in the last little bit. Sometime in the last year or two, I replayed the first half or so of the game, and just today beat Le-Koro and Po-Koro and finished the rest. Admittedly I did this by upping my Kohlii skills using the "Edit State" function, but I beat them legitimately years ago, so I can honestly sa
24 hours ago I was... What was I doing? Packing up my MOCs or something.
Now I'm home sick. Timing couldn't have been better. I think it must have been Rene (EW), he was sitting next to me at dinner.
Oh, man. BrickCon was so awesome. Especially the people. I don't think I even have to name you guys, you know who you are.
I'll get a proper entry up later today or tomorrow, but for now I should really get back to building that UCS Imperial Shuttle.
Oh, and congrats once again to Ja
Well, well. Where to start.
I don't really feel like doing the full report, like I did with BrickCon, but I'll start by saying that BF was twice as awesome as BC, and that's saying something because BC was also a blast.
I managed to get some seriously awesome deals at the Scatch & Dent - 50% off a Trade Federation MTT, and 50% off - that's right - a Death Star II.
As pictured in the previous entry, I also got my hands on two incredibly rare masks - a gold/opaque Strakk helmet and a
So I figure this needs its own separate entry.
Basically, I ran into CzaR about five minutes after I arrived at BrickCon and promptly bought it from him for the BZP discount of $55. Now, this may seem a bit steep, but considering Flintsmith only made four of these (and who knows where the other three are) it's actually a great deal. So, thank you once again Matt!
Here's a pic CzaR took of it next to his trans-purple Kaukau, also a Flintsmith custom, which he sold to Razlak at BCon09:
Ya rly. So wish me a happy birthday, or something. K?
Oh, and three of my friends at school gave me fourteen birthday beats each. 'Twas a day of pain and anguish.

Edit: And yesterday another one of my friends gave me another fourteen. Then for some reason she felt the need to repeat the gesture.
First of all, this bit of genius courtesy of Avohkah Tamer featuring Sumiki and Lady Kopaka has be shared again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omT4z6xDL0Q Next, shoutouts to Trisha, Pat, Maddison, Andrew, Ben, Susannah, Vance, Christie, Corvin, Jess, Jamieson, David, Nate, Thomas, Pablo, Scott, Andrew, Yanni, Danny and more people that I'm trying desperately not to leave out but probably failing. You are all so wonderful. One of the greatest things to happen during BrickFair: Sumiki call
Alright, let's get right to it.
First off, I didn't travel with my dad this time. Rather, Razlak and his mother were kind enough to take me down with them, so a huge thank-you to them.
Razlak's mom picked us up at school at shortly after three or Friday, from where we went straight to Seattle. We arrived over an hour late due to traffic coming out of Vancouver and coming into Seattle. Our ETA had been something like 6:00, but we got there right after the Friday Keynote session had ended.
NASA has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow morning at 9:00am PDT, and you should all watch it. The announcement has to do with a new Kepler discovery. Kepler is a space telescope that is responsible for finding over a thousand confirmed extrasolar planets, or planets orbiting other stars. The new findings will very likely be the most Earth-like planet found to date. The press conference can be watched live here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/9407922 Best-case scenario? Kepler has f
I've gotten back into Lego recently. I had forgotten - along with what an incredible strain on one's bank account this hobby can be - how much fun this stuff is!
I was always interested in rare and unusual Bionicle sets and collectibles and have gotten a few things recently that fall into that category. I thought I'd post some pictures here of my more interesting new acquisitions.

So we've got this really stupid math project on proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. We're in groups of two and each group has been assigned a proof. Then we have to make a big poster that includes a model and explanation of the proof, a biography of whoever invented the proof, and what Pythagorus' obituary might have been.
Didn't I tell you it was stupid?
Anyways, my partner was sick the class after it was assigned and I was to lazy to do any work on it and it's due tomorrow and we just sta
So. BrickCon. Probably the best year so far. Let's see. Went down with George Costanza and his folks again - huge thank you once again to them for everything. Got to see the old crowd again plus some new people - Roa, Kakaru, kopakanui, xccj, Swert, EmperorWhenua, Toa Velox, and Binkmeister. Great to see everyone and looking forward to next year, and hopefully BrickFair as well. I should probably get on with uploading my pics. In the meantime, here's one of Binky's.

Purple flames, or no?
Check gallery when public for moar pictures.
If the purple flames go, then so do the Exo-Robot arms. And the fibre optic cable, of course. If the flames stay, the cable will probably be cut or I'll use lightsabre blades.
More bricks will be added when I get to BrickFest, too.
And yes, Arpy, you have permission to file a lawsuit if you think it's too similar to your BrickCon badge.

Just a little something I cobbled together. Supposed be a revamp of a previous MOC, which was originally an experiment using a Kakama as a chestplate, but then it turned out as something completely different. Still looking for one more dark orange Kakama, as you can see.

That was slightly underwhelming, but cool nonetheless. The new Kepler discovery was exactly what I and most others expected it to be - the most habitable exoplanet found to date, but with no signs of life. The planet, Kepler-452b, is the only planet found so far in the Kepler-452 system, 1400 light years from Earth. It was discovered using the transit method, where the apparent brightness of a distant star decreases slightly (usually by about one part in 10,000) when an orbiting planet passe

Over the years I've amassed plenty of bricks that say my BZP name and the city I live in. Anyone have any more whimsical ideas for a brick badge? -Letagi
Good job if you know who Carlos Santana is. Bad job if you don't.
He's one of the world's greatest guitarists.
Anyways, he was in Vancouver last night. My dad and I went to his concert. Wow.
He was really good.
