Today is November 19th, which marks International Men's Day. It's not a particularly celebrated day; I wouldn't have known about it had I not, by happenstance, come across an article on the subject late last night. Unlike for International Women's Day (which falls on March 8th of every year), Google hasn't made a 'Google Doodle" on its home page to celebrate, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a media outlet that will even acknowledge the day. But that doesn't mean that it's a day not worth re
...when you hear the word "train?" Personally, I think of one of those big strong locomotives that can pull a hundred cars. Literally hundreds. I've counted.
so I realized I made seven whole blog posts in 2015, and I am well on my way to breaking that record in 2016 because I have posted zero posts and it's already April. sorry guys I know you expect so much more of me. I thought it might be fun to do something with this blog though. you know, because it's here and all, so why not, right? I used to hold name-changing contests which were fun, but now that I'm an FA I'm not allowed to change my name, so that's out. (take a moment to weep, dear re
I am going. (this decision is largely thanks to a certain Rene that some of you may know) I have been wanting to go for years and years and finally I do believe this will be the year (unless something huge inexplicably comes up but shhh don't jinx it). My only problem: it is 260 days, 10 hours, and 29 minutes away, and I don't know if I can make it because I am super excited and nervous already and it's only January. Um so yeah that's all I really have to say here.
MY LITTLE PONY HAS ONLY GIRL PONIES WHAT IS THIS MEN ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. ALSO THE LEGO MOVIE DOESN'T NEED MORE WOMEN; IT HAS ENOUGH. If you agree with this, go read this post. If you don't agree with this, then good job! Go read this post instead. If you're confused, go read this post. If none of the above apply to you, then this post is the one for you. #tylerbomaye
Alright ladies and gents, it's time for everyone's favourite poll! Differing from previous polls, in which any name could be submitted, this time there was one criterion: the names submitted must contain the name 'Eyru' in them somewhere. Ideally, the winning name will be unique, funny, and show the most creative use of the simple theme. Without further ado, here are the twelve entries you can vote for! Hey run! - 4 Fullmetal Eyrchamist - 1 Eyru Salad - 3 Eyruined - 1 Eyru - 0 EYRU BEAM LA
Some of you youngsters might not remember the good old days when I held a name change contest every month and a half, but all y'all vets will remember just fine, I'm sure. Such were the days of names like "kjanfijfaoisfjasfiseyruado," "Nukaya is Awesome," and "Delicious Chocolate Milk." Well, guess what? We're back! That's right: you lucky kids will get the honour and joy of watching me parade a silly name -that one of you submitted!- around BZPower until December. All you've gotta do is pos

If you want to discuss The Force Awakens, please be mindful of others. Put WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD at the top of your post and wrap your spoilers in seventeen sets of spoiler tags. This is one of the most anticipated films of all time (quite possibly the most anticipated), and not everyone will have the chance to see it this weekend. Please don't ruin this once-in-a-lifetime experience for other people. Even quasi-ambiguous statements like "Wow, plot twist!" or "Hmm, the acting was sub-par,"
Welcome back, ladies and gents, to the polls for Eyru's next name! I received a lot of submissions this time around (21, to be exact). so I've come up with a twist to the voting system. Every day, I will eliminate the bottom four names from the list, and I will repost the voting entry, allowing you to vote again! That's right- you can vote up to five times if you vote once every day! If more than four names have the lowest score, I will choose and eliminate at random. Every day, the list
Water: 35 Liters Carbon: 20 Kg Ammonia: 4 Liters Lime: 1.5 Kg Phosphorus: 800 g Salt: 250 g Saltpeter: 100 g Sulfur: 80 g Fluorine: 7.5 g Iron: 5g Silicon: 3 g And 15 other elements in small quantities... Now, if you're a BZPower member, you need to add 2 Kg of sarcasm, 1.5 Kg of ponies, and 900 g of various BIONICLE pieces.
I have a habit of buying books. In case you are new to this blog, I work at a coffee shop. The business right next door is a used book store, which I frequent often. As a result, I find myself acquiring new books all the time (much faster than I can read them). Here's a list of books I currently have on the go: Les Misérables - a book about- nevermind, you guys all know what it's about, right? ( and actually I started this one long before I saw the movie thank you very much ) Wild Cards
So I was at Starbucks the other night, buying a bag of coffee beans. There’s a line, but it’s only three people long, so I’m like “no big deal” and wait with my coffee. It quickly becomes obvious that these three people ahead of me are friends and hanging out at Starbucks. The first two order their drinks loudly, but they’re pretty ordinary. Then the third guy steps up to the plate. "WHY’S YOUR MEDIUM CALLED GRANDE?" he says in this smug, condescendingly hipster voice. "GRANDE IS ITALIAN FOR
so I dropped off the face of the earth for two or three months. my bad. had some personal stuff to deal with, and I won't bore you with the details. but I'm back, more or less. I realize I left some people hanging (and also totally ditched my FA duties - oops), but I'm gonna do my best to get back into the swing of things. I wouldn't expect a ton of activity, but you can PM me if you want and I'll probably answer. and we'll see about getting some old projects rolling again. happy autumn.
The NHL lockout has come, at long last, to an end (yes this is old news but I forgot to make a blog post about it) I, however, will not be watching any hockey until October 2013, because I'm stubborn and I don't want to support a league that treats its fans so poorly. I am Canadian, in case you didn't know, and hockey is in my blood. In my very soul. Needless to say, this is heartrending. *tears* #staystrong #gocanucksgo (I swear though if the Canucks win the Cup this year I will d
