I ordered some parts today to make some of the characters from Warehouse 13 as minifigs.
Pete: He's the easiest; generic male suit with grinny head. I want to give him more than the standard hair though. I'm thinking brown flat top... but I would still need to buy some then. >.<
Myka: More difficult, since I didn't think there were female suit torsos. I originally ordered a Indiana Jones torso (from a Marion fig) but have since found something else that is more suit-ish and yet sti
Yeah, this happened. I got this card when the VIP program initially began a while back. So in some ways, the design is pretty vintage, and it's kinda cool to have been a part of something from the beginning that's generally gotten better over the years. (Or maybe it was always the same but now I just have a bigger budget to utilize it with.) But recently (AKA past year) I've been noticing that the card wasn't aging well. The barcode on the back is starting to fade... which is to be expected be
I totally had my bet that the site wouldn't be up until sometime after the new year. Guess I'm not getting in on that jackpot. (Also, I had just about finished reposting my story that got lost in the archives... well, guess I need to start that up again.) I can't think of anything else that I posted back then that was worth anything, so I guess I'll just have to come up with new worthless things to write about. (But gosh I do luv my blog!)
Nobody seems to want to hear about my rambling about Heroes, I don't want to ramble about my grades (meaning they're probably not all good), and I don't have any stories I want you to review. Even my health is no longer an issue (woo hoo, I'm off antibiotics... how boring)
It seems my blog has dried up. What can I write about? I haven't bought any new sets, the storyline I want to discuss isn't allowed on BZP yet (ooh... Bionicle Legends 11), and I haven't been spending enough time doing a
Here's my plan for next week. On Wednesday, I'm gonna go to a doctor and get my toe all cut up. (Turns out ingrown toenails grown back ) and so while I'm there with a sore foot afterwards, I'm thinking about hitting up the local movie theater. (I actually have a free ticket there, so yeah) But the question is, what movie do I see? So I'll ask you for advice.
How to Train Your Dragon 3D (I saw it in 2D, but would like to see it again)

Clash of the Titans (maaaybe)

Okay, I'm in a situation. I'm taking a web programming class, and the instructor was telling us specific web browsers to use, and he specifically stated that Internet Explorer is a no go for this class, because it works funny on programs.
Yes, I use IE. I have never had a problem with it. The layout is simple and there's not too much junk on the top or sides to bog me down. (For a while, I had a McAfee toolbar that wouldn't go away, but it's since been dealt with. For virus protection, I
I'm bored, and don't feel like writing a long entry... besides, you guys haven't solved the latest round of 20 Questions yet! Anyway, here's an exerp from Mony Python, the episode with Mr. Neutron. It's funny to read, but absolutely hilarious to listen to (with the accents and all).
We're Not Eskimos
Italian: You don't like it?
Carpenter: No, I didn't want to eat a salad. I wanted to find out about a man called Salad.
Italian: You're the first person to order a salad for two years
"We can't tell you who we are.
Or where we're from.
It's too risky, and we've got to be careful.
Really careful.
So we don't trust anybody.
Because if they find us... well, we just won't let them find us.
"The thing you should know is that everybody is in really big trouble.
Yeah.
Even you."
Not my words... can you tell where they're from?
Wow, I haven't blogged in a week. It's not that I've been busy; kinda the opposite really, haven't had much to do. Besides being jealous of everybody who went to BrickFair, but that's really not something fun to blog about. But yeah, I guess I have been spending a lot of time sampling random Animes on the web. It started when I looked up some of the Marvel Animes, because I've been trying to watch Marvel stuff and decided to see what Japan did with them. The Iron Man and X Men versions w
So I did get some Lego sets. I got the small City Police / Ranger set, which is cool cause I worked with Ranger all summer. I also got the Airplane Creator set, which is nice. Then I got the Lego figure Alarm Clock. Still not quite sure what to think about that. I got my sister an airplane set from two years ago (picked it up at BrickCon on sale) because she had said she had always wanted a Lego airplane. I think she liked it, even though she's 19. She hates technic tho; she had a roboti
I have a series of questions for you all?
1: Have lists of questions ever wasted your time?
2: Have you ever wasted time by answering lists of questions.
3: Am I wasting your time now?
4: How about now?
5: Now?
6: This is a statement.
7: Have I achieved time-wasting status yet?
8: How about now? Or now?
9: Does it bother you when people include the generic time wasting question at the end of lists?
10: Have I wasted your time?
Well, it's been three weeks since I should've recieved my shipment of parts, and it doesn't look like I'll be getting it. Worst, I think it was the postmaster's fault; somebody just delivered all our stuff to the wrong house that day. I went to the nearest post office and stood in line for a half hour to inquire about said package... only to be told there was nothing they could do, since I didn't have a tracking number and all. I was told my best bet was that whoever did receive the package w
I was interested in the idea of actually paying for some of the summer TV shows I wanted to see. I'm not going to pay for Cable or Satellite when I'm interested in only a handful of shows. (Although I wouldn't mind a couple of Olympic-only channels. I watched the Winter Olympics on the university's cable last year, which was great.) So instead I decided to try one of these online sources. And Warehouse 13 is one of the cheaper shows to buy (like full seasons are only $20-$30 instead of $40-
Man, my days off just seemed to fly past. I got all sorts of paperwork done. (For the record, I loathe FAFSA, Collegeboard, and UW for their incomprehendable way of managing things and making it difficult to not get ripped off by going to school) I'm all set up to go to a new school... first two weeks will be chaotic cause I'll still be doing a full time summer job on the side, but hopefully the rest of the year will go by well enough. I might not be able to fully attend BrickCon up in Seatt
No, not my NaNo story. Which is coming along fine, if a bit below expected word count. But it contains some adult material, so it's not gonna be on BZP... ever.
Rather, I have this one epic going, linked here, which I started posting a while ago but never finished putting up all the chapters I had written. (It wasn't completed yet, since school got in the way) I liked the general idea of the story and would like to continue it... if people would be willing to read and / or review it.

I've probably complained about my computer running slow recently. I've had problems with internet browsers, picture editing software, games (although that was to be expected, since my laptop isn't built for games). I tweaked some of my start up programs a bit, and it's running fine right now, but I don't know if the problem will resurface again like it has this last week. Sure, it sounds like a software issue (probably some legit program I downloaded that the virus scanners won't catch but th
Hey, I have this crazy new writing idea that I'm not going to go into, but it would involve BZP Member characters. Instead of using other peoples names and basing their characters off my perception of them and then getting in deep trouble... why don't I skip right to the source and ask who wants to appear in a short story-ish kind of thing that might/might not happen (and if it does happen, it wouldn't be until after finals, during winter break).
Basically, if the idea is cool with you, you
I'm feeling adventurous, so I want to read somebody's stories. I'm still on break, so I could use a good epic or something to read. But I won't do it for free... You see, I have my Sci Fi Christmas story that's being ignored. So if somebody wants to kindly take a look at it, then I'll review their story of choice. (I always try to leave reviews when I read stuff... I just don't read as much as I used to.) Dunno if there'll be any takers, but I'll throw this out there.
EDIT: I've started on this, so any new entries will not be major characters. I have an idea for a new story to celebrate the return of Bionicle. Specifically, a story featuring members of BZ-Koro, the virtual village where Bionicle fans hang out. (An analogy for BZPower, obviously.) I planning to use a few story tricks I’ve done previously, and one of those is to have members submit their names to become major characters! All you’d have to do is fill out a short entry form in this blog and I
The Kanoka discs in set form glow in the dark, but was that ever canon-ized? I found I sudddenly need to know this but have never considered the idea before. I guess.
I stayed up really late last week.
It was all about getting an essay rough draft completed on time. Irony: rough draft wasn't due until Tuesday... this got announced on Monday. Figures.
Tis Monday again... Monday morning, whatnot, but I digress (I do that often, don't I?) I'm up again. Irony is, this time I have to complete a final draft that is due in a couple of hours, so I can't throw in some half-thought out junk and get away with it. So far, with this essay, I have come to hate M
It was pretty epic indeed.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «I always knew HG was up to something. Although I don't believe she was doing this entirely on her own... I think the head regent knew more than he let on. And it was a crafty carry on from what happened in the premier episode, with McPherson and all. I knew there had to be a reason he debronzed HG.
And then there was Yellowstone, which was epic in and of itself. And the escape from WH 2. And some personal stu
I had a strange dream last night (or this morning, really). And, yes, this is a blog, so I think dream topics can be allowed, since half of my entries are written in a (self induced, no drugs) dreamlike state.
Anyway, I had this strange dream... and it didn't star me, crazy enough. It starred WALL-E, that robot from that one Disney-Pixar movie. (Maybe you've heard of it. ) It involved Wall-E on some spaceship fighting a space pirate on this cruise space ship. It wasn't necessarily se
It's addictive. That's bad, cause it'll mena I'll miss out on homework and yet never finish the game. Ah, well.
I chose to be Toa Hewkii, (not that it makes much of a difference). The battles are slightly annoying, although interactive. The game doesn't appeal to me the way the MNOLGs did... it's more like the Battle for Mata-Nui (the one with the Bohrok). It's much better, but big, and I am never very good at these games. I'm going to spend some time on it Sunday, and see if I can find
The winner is Toaraga with his entry "Xtra Carbon Copy Justice." As soon as I figure out how to change my name (I know it can be done, I just haven't used it... ever) I will become.... Xtra Carbon Copy Justice!! And when people ask why, I will point to this blog.
Anyway, congrads to Toaraga for the cool entry, as well as the runners up; Phyoohrii, Arpy, and Ta-metru_defender! I will create a blog sidebar with your entries up... eventually. I have to move back into the dorms tomorrow, so
