Votes 4 Me

In this poll for the BBC Contest.   Why? Because I'm bringing my model with me anyway.   Or don't.   Also, some complaints about the polls. There are three polls, and 27 entries... but instead of 9 entries per polls, there are two polls with 10 and one poll with 7. The entries don't have proper spacing between them in the first post in the polls. I like it better when Tufi makes them. Actually, they're okay, you guys who made the polls so quickly are super awesome!   So expect me t

Vote Late!

I got a ballet in the mail. I looked at it and went "What the hey! The election was two months ago!"   At first, I thought there was some sort of delay error. After all, for the election, I originally registered in my home county, but I actually voted in a different county where my school is. So I sent in paperwork to get my address changed before the election, but the paperwork still said I was from my home county. (I went home that week and sent it in early). So I thought that maybe my

Finally, I got my hands on one of the Glatorian.   Target failed me, three times at three different locations. But the Lego Store pulls it out! Mind you, the trip there wasn't very fun... it was raining outside, the bus was horribly crowded, and my iPod started glitching out. (Stupid apple products... what went wrong this time, 'eh?) But it all worked out... because the shelves at the Lego store didn't look ransacked and they had all six Glatorian. I was very tempted to pick up Tarix, beca

Volcano Quiz Time!

Q: What is the best way to survive a lahar?   A: Get in your white water kayak and get ready for a wild ride!!   (I really should've picked that answer regardless of its correctness or not)

Vnolg Tip

I have discovered a nifty trick in the VNOLG that I would like to pass on.   You know how, in some scenes, there’s this nasty barrier cutting you off from another area. And the only way to get through is to go around the long way… Well, if you have the teleportation pack in your attacks, and you fight a Rahi on the other side of the barrier, you can use the pack to teleport yourself over the barrier and face the Rahi. Sure, it doesn’t work all the time… trees and stones block it. But ther

Vezon Owns

Go to Bionicle.com (or Bioniclestory.com).   The latest update on TN's blog is quite something... really setting the scene for next year, even though we'll be somewhere else entirely and will only likely see them in a short web serial. Hey, you know what, it would be interesting if Greg just keeps up TN's blog all of next year... maybe not as long or as often, but as something that connects us back to the previous eight years. (Naw, probably wouldn't work, too much work for him)   BiA wasn't

Vezon And Fenrahk

Yep, that’s the Titan that I’ve been hinting about. I got Vezon and Fenrahk the other day for only $8!   I bet you’re wondering how I managed to get that deal, and it’s true, I am leaving a bit out. Anyhow, my main chore this summer has been to drive my sister to her driver’s ed classes. The building happens to be located next to a Fred Meyers, so once a week I’ve dropped by to see if they’ve got the Mahri yet. (So far, no luck). However, for the past couple of weeks, they’ve had some clea

Vector Masks

Bonesiii is hosting a contest on PowerPoint vector art, and I'm having trouble choosing my entries. I made one, but I don't have enough time and / or inspiration to make more. Luckily for me, I was into Bioncile vector art via PowerPoint long before bonesiii ever posted his guides (although I did get a few tips from them) So I thus have a pretty good collection of Bionicle masks from 01 to 06. Some of them are bad... the Hau was one of the first I ever created, and I never took the time to r

Vancouver Olympics

I have a feeling I'll be paying close attention to these games. Winter Olympics have always been my favorite to watch, and it's even cooler that they're currently taking place in my "backyard." (Okay, maybe 100 miles away, across the border) Anyway, for the most part, the weather had been about the same... so I can totally understand why they were complaining about a lack of snow, since last week did feel rather dry.   Personally, I'll be rooting for both US and Canadian teams, because I'm f

Vacation Over

This has been my first real vacation since spring break last March. Since then, I've either been in school, had work, or a combination of the two. I only started getting my weekends free in November, so it's nice to have free time again. (I'm not counting BrickFair or BrickCon as vacation times... those were ADVENTURES!)   Sadly, now my days off are through, and I have a morning class to attend tomorrow. (Why am I still awake again? I should get some sleep.) Also, I have some large assignm

Upper Or Lower Case?

I'm perplexed that, in the News Discussion forum, my name appears capitalized half the time (like it should be) and uncapitalized the other half (which was my original name)   Should I change it back to a lower case x? It really doesn't bother me... years before I changed it, I was capitalizing the X whenever I was refering to my username as a noun. But capitalized it doesn't look like a random set of letters. Your opinion on the subject?

Updates Of Sorts...

1) I went to the dentist today. No cavities, but whatever they did, my teeth are still aching. I think dentist are addicted to inflicting pain in the area of the mouth and teeth...   2) On the way to the dentist, my mom wanted to stop by a store to get something. (Seeing as it's been very snowy weather, so make one trip cover everything) Of course, she has to choose a store waaaaay far away and forget exactly where it is. Since we did this before going to the dentist, I nearly missed my ap

Updates And Stuffs

Just some tidbits of things that've been going on...   I lost the contest. 6th out of 6. Oh well, at least I qualified for the polls.   But I have also only had 1 reviewer. I need more. I require more. I CRAVE MORE! I want to see how good of a mystery it is, and I can't tell if nobody actually responds to it. (And worst, they didn't release the list of judges, so I can't pester them for a review. )   As for my two other epics (Slizers on Mata-Nui and Many Adventures) I have ideas for

Unwanted Mindstorm

Alright, so I was looking at my old Mindstorm set. We got it years and years ago, but we could never get it to work. I suspect the IR Transmitter tower was somehow defective, but we never did anything about it at the time. And now, the new Mindstorm stuff has been out for a few years, and I realize it's mostly compatible with older versions. SO I have the yellow RCX 2.0 Programmable brick and a few motor and light sensor bricks that I have no use for. I could go and buy a working tower agai

Unproductively And Ssc4 Update

I'm am entering dead weak here at the University of my state, which is a really cool and I really like living in it at times... except for when the one short day of snow turns into a downpour of rain. URG... uh, where was I? Oh yeah, dead week before finals. I'm entering that. Sounds like fun, although I never really got much done in the so called dead weeks of high school, so we'll see about it this year.   It's not so much that nothings happening this week... we don't have to take any mid

Unnecessary Helpful Ads

The other day I was researching on a couple of sites to see who had the best deal on a product. (Korra Season 3, ended up picking it up from Target.) But despite having made the purchase, I keep getting ads from the various places I searched (Amazon, BestBuy, and Target) telling me they have the product I was searching for. Ya, that's right you do, cause I specifically searched for it on your site, and in Target's instance, I actually bought it there. So why are you still showing me the ad for i

Unmotivated

I have been so completely unmotivated to do anything this whole week. Like I'm just starting on a homework assignment that was due yesterday. (However, knowing my friend in that class, he hasn't started either. ) Too bad I'm completely blanking on it...   Furthermore, I've skipped some lectures. It's not so bad... the lecture's actually taped, so I can actually watch the whole thing online. Plus, Swine Flu's made it to Seattle! Although that had nothing to do with my absence from the

Umarak the Mosaic!

More ideas for a potential colab mosaic for this year that's looking less and less likely...   --   A couple of different variations that could be done for good ol' Umarak. He's looking to be one of the more popular sets in the winter wave, so why not glorify his might in a mosaic, eh? Plus, y'know, mask of control.   This are all preliminary designs, so there's be a fair amount of color swapping to make it affordable. (Oh, they're all 3x3 baseplate / 96x96 stud mosaics). I do realize that Umara

Uhg...

Haven't I used that Title before? Maybe it was something different but similiar...   Anyway, I seem to have that cold that's going around my school. I'll spare you on the details, but I'm not feelin' so swell. Still went to school today, and tried to keep the germs to myself. Went to play practice, only to learn that the actress I'm with most of the time was out sick too. So I had to sit around because we didn't block her parts today, and conciquently, my parts too. I got five minutes in

U Leik Avatar

My post in the topic where people complain about what avatars they don't like.   Nobody's responded to it. Normally, this isn't a big thing. But this time, I'm worried.   I think they think that I was being genuine... that I really don't like avatars that "show creativity, personality, or any general preference of any kind."*   Based off some of the opinions there, I wouldn't say this fear is too far off.   People are harsh here.     *Yes, I just quoted myself.

Tweeting

Wow, I just got an e-mail for one of my summer classes talking about what to do before the semester starts, and the two things were "Get Textbook" and "Get a Twitter account." So I broke down and signed up.   But what the hey... there's already an "Xccj" user on there. Dude, you totally ripped off my name.   I might link BZP to it... but I dunno how much harsh language I'll be using. If you want to find it, just send me a PM or something. I dunno.   New technologies... sheesh.

Tweat

Now I have a BZP friendly twitter set up and linked to in my blog. Now I can make quick updates and such on news stuff and or school related stuff (like to tell you when I'm busy). Best of all, I already have a follower... my other personal account. That one's personal, though, so you probably won't be able to view it.

Tv Show Thoughts

Man, I have nothing to blog about. I mean, I have these plans to work on some of my stories (Bionicle ones included) plus I have two movie projects for school that I have to work on (these are the rare fun projects tho) but I don't really have much to say about them that would be better than just posting them. However, I caught up on TV watching, so I'll blog about that instead!         Um, that's pretty much all the shows I'm following, sporadically. I mean, really, I watched three of them

Tv Monday

Oh wow, all my favorite shows seem to be on Monday. Chuck. Heroes. Castle. Fringe. Unfortunately, Fringe conflicts with Heroes, so I'll have to watch it on Hulu. Only thing missing is Warehouse 13 and maybe Royal Pains...

Turtles

So I saw tonight's xkcd comic about turtles.   And I thought to myself "The last time Randall Munroe put up a cool animal comic, I decided to make a vignette out of it." So I decided that I must rise to the challenge and build a turtle at minifig scale, and put it next to a stressed out minifigure on the computer.   I mentioned this idea to Swert, and we had an intense competition on who can create a small turtle design. But in the end, I had a new idea.   Why just have one turtle? Turtles
