You're Walking In The Woods...

There's no one around, and your phone is dead.   Out of the corner of your eye, you spot him: SHIA LABEOUF ----- Many of you who frequent the interwebs have probably heard this viral song by Rob Cantor and the meme it spawned.   What you may not know is that Rob Cantor also happens to be a member of my favorite band, Tally Hall! (Rob's the one with the yellow tie)   So yeah, I find this whole thing sort of awesome. Tally Hall has all sorts of crazy and catchy songs just like this, and

You'll Play Your Part

Jeez, it's been ages since I last blogged.   So although it's not my 4th brony anniversary until the end of the month, I've already got my new song cover ready ahead of time, so why don't I just go ahead and post it early:     I know, I know, I said before that my next cover would be The Flim Flam Miracle Curative Tonic. I still fully intend to record that song to bookend my first cover, but this amazing song from the season 4 finale really just resonated with me and I had to record it fir

You Got Ponies In My Bionicle! (Update: Response #2!)

UPDATE: Here's an audio clip I threw together! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27614263/Twiley.mp3 Andrew Francis is the voice of Jaller from Mask of Light, as well as Shining Armor from the My Little Pony season 2 finale.   UPDATE 2: And now his response to the audio clip!   There are actually a number of voice actors with roles in both the Bionicle movies and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I posted this in Aho's blog comments a couple weeks ago, but here's a list I threw together: Tabitha St. G

Wow... Just, Wow...

I've gotta say, The Dark Knight was AWESOME. I agree, it's quite evil and dark, but it made it that much more edge-of-your-seat suspenseful. It almost seemed too long to me, but that was only because I wasn't expecting it to go past a certain point, but I think if I hadn't thought it would end where I did, I would have thought the length to be perfect. [/confusing]   I loved the acting in this movie, especially that of (the late) Heath Ledger, he really formed an awesomely insane, irrational Jo

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

Okay, so as a few of you know already, I went specifically to the Six Flags Great America park the other day, because it was closest to my area (which I will not tell to you. =P). I got there probably somewhere around 9:30 AM or so, and stayed until... waitaminute... 9:30 PM!!! Oo... Okay, readers, I literally didn't notice that until I typed this. =P I didn't get photos, unfortunately (you aren't allowed to have a backpack or anything with you on the rides, they make you leave it at the beginn

Welcome To Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum...

...Known from coast-to-coast like butter and toast! From headlines to deadlines, from schoolrooms to poolrooms! No other place in the contiguous United States or other environments of the world! Welcome! Yep, that's right, I stole Laughin'Man's blog's old theme! (With permission, of course. ) So, yeah, I'm pretty much a huge Tally Hall fan. Hence my blog theme change, and my avatar and signature change. I've had plans to do this for a long time, but due to procrastination/indecision (r

Webcomics Emulating Life

This latest comic is so totally me.     I was even planning on playing my new Half-Life 2 for the first time this evening before I read this!   Y'see, a couple months ago I bought Orange Box at a crazy $10 price it was selling at for only one weekend. I haven't been able to play it due to two things: My computer's not powerful enough, and it only had 1GB hard drive space left (each game can be about 5-6GB). I knew I wouldn't regret buying it, though, and I was right. As of a few days ago I

Updates

Yeah, I'd blog way more if I had more ideas... So I guess I'll just give you some random updates of me!   --- TV shows I've been watching:   For the last several weeks, I've been borrowing the DVD box sets for MacGyver from a family I know who has every single season. It's awesome watching a classic old show for the first time. I'm almost done with season 4! Richard Dean Anderson is awesome as MacGyver and as Colonel Jack O'Neill from Stargate: SG-1. Y'know, that show really makes me want a

Up

As Dr. Seuss so well put it in one of his books, "It's a Great Day for Up!" As most of you (should) know, Disney/Pixar's latest movie Up came out just today. Has anyone here seen it yet? Even though I've already entirely made up my mind and I'm GOING to see it and I WILL like it, anyone wanna tell me how it was (spoiler-free, of course)? ~

Uggggggh...

...My head...   Yeah, so, I didn't get enough sleep last night. I've got a job, though, that requires me to be out the door by 9 AM. (I run errands for my dad's business, like collecting mail from the P.O. Box and depositing checks at the bank later) Well, as it was, I was asleep at 8:55 AM, and pretty deeply asleep. My mom was walking upstairs, and called to me as she was walking past that I was late and needed to get up. Well, I did. In about a half a second. For -no reason at all-, I almost

Two-Year Brony Anniversary!

(Or if you're Pinkie Pie, my 24th Monthiversary)     On the night of March 29th, 2011, I started watching MLP:FiM at the behest of Takuma Nuva, and I was pretty much immediately hooked. Two years worth of regular brony meetups, brony voice acting projects, and one brony convention later, it's interesting to see how simply being a part of the brony community for these two years has impacted my life in significant (and largely positive) ways.   You guys might remember my 1st Brony Anniversa

Totally Officially Finally 100% Confirmed for BrickFair

Many of you already knew I wasn't gonna let BrickFair VA 2013 pass me by, I just wanted to drop by and let you guys know that as of THIS MINUTE, the last details of my trip have been finalized and paid for! If you're anywhere remotely near the DC area and are free on August 3rd or 4th, BE THERE (early) OR BE SQUARE.   Oh, and on an unrelated note, I just noticed the other day that my 10th anniversary here on BZPower was this past July 7th! I was planning to wax poetic about how much this site ha

This Is How Rick Astley Rolls.

Hee hee, gotta love it.   ---   On another note, I was GOING to change my blog theme recently, but someone took the idea totally exactly as I had it (name, blog image, first post intro), minus the long entry I had typed up in a Word file. They literally put up theirs within a couple hours of my plans to... >_>   Also, I've been procrastinating on thinking of a blog theme in the meantime until they change it to something else. Any ideas?   Oh yeah, I should probably get around to changi

Third Brony Anniversary!

Oh hey, it's my 3-year anniversary of when I first started watching MLP!   Since you guys probably know the drill by now, I'm gonna cut to the chase.   As you may have expected, I've recorded another cover. I was looking for a song with a male vocalist from this season to sing, but my only choices were either one of "Weird Al" Yankovic's many songs in Pinkie Pride, or John de Lancie's fantastic "Glass of Water" song as Discord. And honestly, I'm not worthy of even attempting to cover those.   So

The 4-Vacation Gauntlet Recap

As some of you may be aware, I had 4 consecutive weekend vacations this summer, due to BrickFair VA and Bronycon being a weekend apart, and my family planning two camping trips for before and after my convention trips. I'm on my way home from the final camping trip now, so I figure this gives me a good chance to recap.   Four vacations in a row sounds really nice and relaxing on paper, but to be perfectly honest, I'd say they make things more stressful than if they were spaced out. Imagine the s

So, It's My Birthday!

For obvious reasons, I haven't blogged in a while. Hence, I'll have to write up another one of those huuuuuge what-I've-been-up-to blog entries to make up for it. In the meantime, though, quick list of stuff I got for my birthday (so far, but I'm not sure I'm gonna get any more): $50 from my grandmother Like 10 mini Reese's cups (my favorite candy EVAR, by the way) Sandish-green T-shirt with oooold classic Mountain Dew logo Blue T-shirt with a whole lot of reasons why being a guy is awesome (Exa

Pumpkins!

Why, oh why do I never blog? I mean, it's not like I'm not on BZP much, 'cause I visit every day. I really have no good reason for not blogging.   Anyways, today's Halloween! My family doesn't really celebrate it that much, besides some pumpkin carving and dressing up in a costume for fun if I want to, though we don't Trick-or-Treat.   Now, I'm no expert in pumpkin carving. I've never done the shave-part-of-the-surface-off-instead-of-cutting thing due to my only light source being those dim te

Piles Of Guns!

I went to Brickworld for pretty much the entire day, and had a BLAST. I got TONS of BrickArms custom Lego guns, and took photos of almost everything there! It would have been EVERYTHING, but my camera's battery died after the 400 12MP photos I took... Gallery as soon as I can figure out how to batch resize 400 photos without killing my computer, and upload 400 photos at once without killing Brickshelf.   UPDATE: Here's my picture of my BrickArms collection, tagged so you know what's what! =D

Need Some BrickFair Advice...

I've got something I hate to admit, but I'm at my wit's end and need help, so here goes...   I will be at BrickFair VA this year, as several of you already probably know/assumed, and I've already got travel and hotel arrangements taken care of, but there's one thing that I haven't done yet.   I, uh... I haven't actually registered for the con yet.   YES I KNOW, I need to register/pay by the 14th, and I will, but I've been stuck on one minor detail: deciding what to put on my Brickbadge bricks.
