I got Bionicle Legends #5 yesterday and read it. I was hoping it would top #4. It did.
Excellent for a BIONICLE book. You know that supposed opening scene where two Great Beings place the Ignika underneath Mount Valmai? The book couldn't have started in a better way. I loved how that introduced me as the reader into the present-day scene right where Bionicle Legends #4 left off. Right afterwards, the plot launched into the Piraka's and Toa Inika's journey to the C

Notice how I'm posting this entry at 2:41 AM. It's a late night . I'm up this late because I had to study for a bio test tomorrow. I only started my homework at around 10:45 PM, and that's because I had a three hour nap. And I had to lie down because when I first tried doing my literature homeowrk around 7:30 PM, it put me to sleep.
Man, this school year is brutal .

Come to think of it, wouldn't it make more sense if the names of the three BIONICLE books series were switched around?
The current BIONICLE Adventures definitely should have been named BIONICLE Chronicles, as the whole series is for the most part the Turaga relating "chronicled" accounts of their experiences as the Toa Metru.
The current BIONICLE Legends should be named BIONICLE Adventures, as it is the first time in the storyline that the Toa really get up

I got my quarter grades the other day. I'm doing way better than I was last year at this time! School has been really, really hard this year and has consumed most of my time (clearly the reason why I don't post as much as I did a couple months ago). But it looks like all of that time that I've spent has paid off. Look:
English -- 98
Science -- 92
Greek -- 99
Orchestra -- 100
Religion -- 98
Math -- 92
Go me!

Of course, so do I now. And all of them vant to suck my blood.
Having fleas in the house is the worst. I have about fifteen bites on my right ankle alone. It looks like I have some sort of horrible outbreak of acne down there, but all of those red bumps are actually these horribly itchy flea bites that can sometimes swell up to the size of a pea. I have bites all over my body -- shoulder blades, hip, ankles, feet, wrists, arms, fingers even. They itch during school

What would life be like if Greg Farshtey were one of your teachers?
Think about it. Your school -- be it grade school or high school -- needs a new English teacher; and Greg, an author for LEGO, happens to have the necessary degrees and decides to pursue the job. Yeah, Greg wouldn't be able to keep the job with LEGO as it is, so this is totally far-fetched. It just would not be capable of happening. But can you imagine the first day...

At least I think I broke a world record. I'm talking about lateness in receiving the Lego mag. That's right -- it is the 23rd of the next month, and I have have just now finally, finally received my Brickmaster magazine. I've always gotten my Lego magazine on the late side, and I've tolerated that. But this is totally ridiculous! What's happening over there at Lego!? Come on, the new comic made it on Bionicle.com over a week before I received my own in print! And you kn
Toa Pohatu was a Toa of Stone and one of the Toa Mata. He was gifted with the elemental power of stone; wore a Kanohi Kakama, the Great Mask of Speed; and had specialized feet that could be used for precision kicks. Pohatu 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

Heck, he got a month named after him, albeit one that tends to throw the succeeding ones' prefixes off.
He has his qualities, but has a tendency to be "ambitious."
Pedro offers you his protection.

For a Friday the thirteenth, my day wasn't so bad.
This morning, I didn't have to do carpool because something came up with the other guys. That's a very good thing because I REALLY HATE CARPOOL (I'm sure I'm not alone on that). So my dad drove me to school. Interestingly, I saw some unfortunate that I know from my old grade school get pulled over on the ride to school. So it seems some people were not blessed with a fairly good day today like I was. Well, I was alm
I hope one of these puts a smile on your face. No, I didn't make them. Give credit to the artists' names in the watermarks.
Notice how all of the Google ads at the top of my blog are about staples now. Hmmm...coincidence?
GWotD:
Transliteration: polus
Translation: much, many
Derivatives: anything with the poly- prefix
The greek letter "u" (upsilon) is transliterated as "y" through Latin. Polu, the neuter form of this adjective, becomes poly and serves as the prefix so often used

Did you know that on America's roads there is a whole lane dedicated to safe, legal drivers?
It's called the right lane.
Drive responsibly.

...Oh, right.
I'm adding a new thing to my entries now: Ancient Greek Word of the Day. You know, every day I post a word from the Classical Greek language ('cuz it's so cool). Today's GWotD is:
Transliteration: geōrgos
Translation: farmer
Derivatives: George, georgic, geo- prefix

Happy Columbus Day, ! You have no idea how much I needed this day off from school.
Remember yesterday's entry? I said I was going to Michigan. Plans changed. I stayed right here. Had I gone on the voyage, I would have visited some small town...I forget exactly where. All I know is that it's a place I've never been to before. The reasons for the trip are not something I really want to discuss here.
Achin' to read something? Tell you what -- I'll post a hero story

I just came home from mass, as on every Sunday morning. After I washed the grime of the pews off my hands, got a drink, and waited for the computer to whirr and chortle to life, I of course visited the BZP homepage, checking for news on Bionicle. And, of course, I spotted the Blog of the Week article (although the title was a little hard to read at first).
C'mon, everybody, lets all happy-dance! You're Awesome got BotW!
A big thanks to members who read and

This is something I "discovered" a while ago, and it seems that it would be something rather interesting to post.
Link
The above link is the list of results that you get when you search books on Amazon.com. Yes, first you have the LEGO BIONICLE books sold through Scholastic, but there are way more results than that if you look further (like page 5 further). Amazon not only searches book titles, but excerpts from books as well. And if you look at those excerpts (

"What could be better than small pieces of metal flying undetected across a classroom until they make an annoying snapping noise at the far wall?"
Hey there, ! Today's entry is a very special entry. Right now, I am pleased to have a place to finally post the simple instructions of my one truly, incredibly ingenious invention: the Portable Staple Firing Mechanism, or PSFM for short. This is a staple-shooting device whose structure I came up with back in my late grade

Hey, guys, happy October! My lego mag still has yet to come, sadly (for me).
My blog has a new name now: "Planetperson.rpsn." I was just thinking of what else I could use as a blog name, and I came up with a little gag about a file type. Lame.
Bored? Sunday, I know. Don't feel like doing homework? Me neither. How 'bout you poke around some old MoL drawings on my Maj? I'm not exactly sure when I made them (a while ago); but they've been on my Maj for a long time n

They've added the new Toa Inika .mpg on Ghost A/S. For people who care about that stuff .
Ugh. I still need to get all of my 2006 sets. Vezon & Fenrakk and the Toa Inika finally arrived earlier this week, but Kongu was missing :annoyed2: . I had to call customer service, and now they're shipping Kongu out to me. After this, I still need to get Umbra the other three play themes.

What would happen if you were stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean and you drank ocean water? I don't claim to be a science genious, but...The salt concentration in the water would cause the cells of your body to lose water (osmosis or something). You would become thirstier. Your body would expel the water of your body through over-urination. Your body would become dehydrated. You would eventually lose enough brain cells to the point that you start hall

Those darn Matoran. They have me running all over the island of Voya Nui to fulfill all of these menial tasks. Get pet food for Piruk. Kill all the crabs at the south end of the fortress (easier said than done). Talk to Garan, Balta, bla bla bla... It's all really buggin' me now .
