The Long Journey From The Web Into My Pocket

Wednesday, December 27, 2006 As I type, dozens and dozens of Quicktime movie files are being converted to iPod-acceptable .mpeg files through iTunes. For them, this is near the end of a long journey, a voyage from their original urls to my video iPod. The only problem is, however, that this near-final step will most likely take a few more hours to complete. Ah, everyone loves the old quicktime movies that LEGO employs the European animation company Ghost A/S to produce every year. The movie

Gali

Toa Gali was a Toa of Water and one of the Toa Mata. She was gifted with the elemental power of water; wore a Kanohi Kaukau, the Great Mask of Underwater Breathing; and carried two hooks through which she could channel her elemental water power. Gali and the other Toa Mata were a part of the legend of Mata Nui, a legend that the Turaga of Mata Nui often told to the Matoran during the millennium between the Great Cataclysm and the Toa Mata’s arrival. The legend itself was spawned by a mix of comm

Toa Mata

A specific group of Toa named the Toa Mata – Tahu, Toa of Fire; Pohatu, Toa of Stone; Onua, Toa of Earth; Lewa, Toa of Air; Kopaka, Toa of Ice; and Gali, Toa of Water – was simply known to the Matoran of Mata Nui as “the Toa.” Just like all Toa, they were gifted with amazing elemental powers and Great Kanohi masks. Their name referred to the Great Spirit Mata Nui, as it was their destiny alone to awaken him. Led by Toa Tahu, the Toa Mata were a part of the legend of Mata Nui, a legend that the T

Blue Man Group & An Avohkii

Wednesday, December 20, 2006 Ah, school's finally over for the break! Me so happy . Yeah, I saw the Blue Man Group tonight. The show is very...creative. Very good. The toilet paper thing at the end is quite an experience. I invite others to comment on the show for those who have seen it. Especially if you were a...victim . I've been to the show a couple times before myself. Last time, my little brother caught the jelly cork thing that launches from the table in the middle of the

Who Will Dare To Topple Me?

Saturday, December 16, 2006 Boo-yah! Who will dare to topple me from second place!? What a GREAT GAME. I'm addicted to it. Well, I slept for fifteen hours last night, from 5:30 PM yesterday until 8:30 this morning. That's what going to bed at 3:30 the night before will do to ya. That's also definitely what I call "pulling a Mata Nui."

Big Haul

Thursday, December 14, 2006 As of last Tuesday, I own the Piraka Stronghold, Thulox, Dekar, Defilak, and Thulox. For some reason -- we definitely didn't order it -- they were extra nice and threw in a couple of base plates in the package at no charge. Mistake? I'm not complaining. It kinda makes up for the lousy shipping service all year . Defilak Boxes for the small sets are clearly getting bigger year by year. What's inside the box: What comes right out

I Can't Move My Left Arm Right Now

Friday, December 8, 2006 Typping is very hard right now. I've totally lost my left arm. See, at the end of scghool, I had to carry my celloo through the halls and through the brutally cold outdoors to our car in order to bring it home for a concert tomorrow. I had to carry this huge instrument in its case in pone arm while carrying my music folder and in the other, ALL the while csrrying my heaqvy backlpack on my shoulders.

The Next Fashion Trend

Wednesday, December 6, 2006 I've noticed that this winter all of the chicks are wearing these really fancy, high-tech-looking boots of various brands. They all look like they must do something besides keep feet warm, and they seem to be a big hit. Now, I don't know if they know it, but I foresee that the next fashion trend will be... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Rocket Boots!

Carapar

Carapar was one of the six Barraki warlords, led by Pridak. These six powerful beings were created by Mata Nui himself; however, the Barraki were looked down upon in the eyes of the Order of Mata Nui when they rebelled against him in some way or another. Carapar and the other Barraki were active and formidable conquerers well over 80,000 years ago, each commanding a significant army. The Barraki made a noteworthy alliance with the island of Xia, which led to that island’s success. As a group, th

Lego Is Smart...

Saturday, December 2, 2006 Hey, guys. I'm feeling much better than I did when I posted my last entry (and I did get a snow day ). Okay, here's the point of this entry. I just saw this Barraki pic: At first, I wondered why the heck LEGO Marketing would make the canisters in such a funny shape. They can no longer be stacked, which is something that every store that sells Bionicle canister sets has done before. Then I immediately realized something pretty smart on LEGO's part. The caniste

Weak And Weary

Thursday, November 30, 2006 I haven't blogged in a while, have I? It's a miserablely cold, dreary, dark day outside. Man, I just felt like crud today. I was alright early in the morning, so I went to my classes, but I began to feel weak and achey in school around eleven. That stank. Never try carrying a 1300-page lit book or a Bible in your backpack while walking through the halls when you're in that condition. It still hasn't gone away, either. I just feel...tired. And it's not just gettin

Onua

Toa Onua was a Toa of Earth and one of the Toa Mata. He was gifted with the elemental power of earth; wore a Kanohi Pakari, the Great Mask of Strength; and had massive claws that helped him in digging. Onua and the other Toa Mata were a part of the legend of Mata Nui, a legend that the Turaga of Mata Nui often told to the Matoran during the millennium between the Great Cataclysm and the Toa Mata’s arrival. The legend itself was spawned by a mix of common Matoran legends, the past experiences of

Dekar -- Why A Po-matoran?

Tuesday, November 21, 2006 Take a look at Dekar. Notice his color scheme: yellow and black. We know he's a Po-Matoran following Toa Hewkii's color scheme, but it wasn't really necessary to make an exceptional Po-Matoran color, don't you think? He easily could have been a Ta-Matoran; since 2001, we saw from MNOLG that Ta-Matoran colors included red, orange, yellow, and black. Why is this? My explanation is that the ones who determined Dekar a Po-Matoran simply didn't have that in mind. Oh we

Breakthrough!

Sunday, November 19, 2006 Yay, minor victory ! I just had a (kinda) major breakthrough with BBCode ! I've stumbled upon a way to make the images in my Blog Navigator content block link to pages so that they don't open a new browser when you click on them. This is great because it's really annoying to click on one of my links and have to go back and close the old browser that you don't need (or if you don't close the browser, all of the extra windows really clutter things up).

Just How Powerful Are Muscles?

Thursday, November 16, 2006 Muscles some in antagonistic pairs -- one muscle contracts to move a joint one way, and another serves to move it the other way. Your muscles are so strong that if both muscles in one of your antagonistic pairs contracted at the same time, they would break the bone they were connected to. Thank goodness for nerve impulses that make this impossible to happen. But should your electrical signals fail you...as they might during electrocution... Just a little anatomy t

How The Squid Ammo Is Fired

Saturday, November 11, 2006 I figured it out. Someone else probably has already, but I assure you that I didn't get this from anywhere else. Take a look at Tilius's scan of Pridak. Notice how the squid in the launcher is slightly shorter than the one clipped to his armor. This observation has led me to this conlusion: See? To fit the polyp into the launcher, the tail has to scrunch up. When you press the knobs on the sides of the launcher, the clip holding the polyp from springing o
