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
So many primary locations in the Matoran Universe (which we now know is actually the interior of Mata Nui himself) seem to serve a specific function that helps keep Mata Nui running.
The island of Mata Nui = HIS FACE! Metru Nui = His Brain. Think, it's in his head and it's where energy is distributed or something. Very vital to his survival. Karda-Nui = His Heart. Where his energy comes from. Daxia = His White Blood Cells? Maybe, 'cause the Order goes out and gets rid of bad things. Altho
Get it? The joke part, I mean. I don't even know what it's suppose to bean in physics term. I got it off a help forum for my physics class, but I don't even know what the F variable stands for! ARG!
I hate Homework and finals.
Have you ever wanted to get in a Taxi and just tell the driver, "Follow that car up there."?
I just wonder how that would go down.
*Has been watching Rush Hour 2 for the umpteenth time, but that's okay because he got it on sale at a really good price, so he owns it now*
Anyway, I have also been making progress on my Slizers epic... much to every body's surprise, I'm sure. I don't only have one chapter in the bank, ready to be posted, but TWO! Unfortunately, they have to go through
I pity you international people who haven't had season three (or two) aired in their country and haven't figured out that NBC has the episodes online the next day (most of the time... sometimes it takes a little longer). And for those people, who knows how long it'll be before they can safely look at these spoilers.

It was an okay premier. Not super amazing, but neither of the premiers have be
Next up...
Alright, the final Nuva set of the year, Onua. How does he stack up?
Well, first of all, Onua's tall. Yeah, TALL! I complained that Tahu and Gali were a little too short with their Piraka bodies, but Onua has the opposite problem. He probably could've pulled off a Piraka body, but his current design makes him tower above the other Toa... even the Phantoka. Well, not quite, but he's eye level with Lewa and Kopaka.
So you must think that I think his body is messed up.
Read for another mini review? Today I look at this cool set that I picked up the other day which is clearly from Lord of the Rings. I believe it is 76020: Attack on Isengard. So this set is suppose to represent the scenes from the second LotR movie The Two Towers where Isengard is attacked. You get some enemies defending their mining equipment, as well as an Ent with a Hobbit companion. There's a lot to like here, but there are also a ton of discrepancies, so many that it makes you wond
So I have come to a decision. I'm gonna buy some Adobe software (with Flash stuff) that will undoubtedly help me out in a web design career. Problem is, it's expensive. Like $400. Which is about half my savings at the moment.
It's also what I would expect to pay for a plane ticket to BrickFair.
So when I buy this software, I'm gonna be giving up on the idea of attending BrickFair this year. The issue is purely financial. But I won't have a job until May (hopefully) and I really don't
I'm not sure how many of you sheltered BZPer stay up late and watch late night comedy TV (AKA, how many of you are college students?) but you may have heard about the NBC issue with Conan OBrian and stuff, where they might be canceling his show, replacing him with Leno, ext. I don't know what the true story is... I'm getting all my updates of this drama from the late night shows mostly, and they have been known to tweek the facts.
Anyway, I like both OBrian and Leno, and the only reason I d
Ha, see what I did with the title there? Yay Midnight showing! Okay, it wasn't like a crowd of super geeks who all dressed up or anything, but it was a fun crowd... it's more fun when there are multiple people laughing at the jokes. Turns out I didn't really need to arrive an hour and a half early, tho. At least not at the smaller local theater. As for the actual movie... well, I don't know where to begin? Or I do, but that would be spoiler-y. Sufice to say, I thought it was a great mov
Name a character whose name doesn't have vowels (A, E, I, O, U) or the letters T, N, S, H, R. The letter Y can be in the name, but it cannot be the second letter or the last letter. The character doesn't necessarily have to be Bionicle. Go!
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?
A lot went on at Bricks Cascade this weekend, but it's not over yet so I'll blog about that later. For now, I have other news; I'm moving into a new apartment. I've been commuting to my job in down town Portland from my parent's house, which is 1 hour one-way on a no-traffic day. Basically, it's a pain, so I looked into moving closer. I found a place that's reletively affordable (assuming I don't blow all my income on lego) and also close to the MAX line (light rail public transportation),
So with the talk of convention season coming up (or at least making plans for it) I got thinking about my past experience with conventions. BrickCon 2011 was probably one of the best ones I've went to, because we had a good close crowd of friends who got to do lots of stuff. But it wasn't always like that. I was a meek crowd surfer for two BrickCons (07 and 08.) I first met Kakaru when we fought over discounted Indiana Jones sets at the Lego Store event. (I believe he ended up getting them.
This is not a prank entry.
I know it is April Fools Day, but this entry is in no way part of some elaborate prank.
Of course, you would think that I would be trying to fool you, and that by saying it isn't a prank, I actually mean that it is a prank.
But I have foreseen your prediction, and I can say that I am not trying to fool you into thinking this is a prank by saying it is not a prank, thus making it a prank, when it is clearly intended to not be a prank entry.
That is all.
I might try to post a short epic soonish, as I have the first draft written and all. And since people will recognize me, it'll assure it gets minimum views and zero replies.
I also liked tonight's Heroes episode, even if some things could've been better. I'd feel like blogging about each episode every week, but that was met with poor results last year, so I think I'll just Twitter about it instead. But...

Do you like the snazzy titles like "Moon Mending" for news stories about online updates on the front page, or would you just rather have it say something like "Mata Nui Saga Chapter 16"?
I made some custom category blocks for the side of my blog. I'll see how they work... they add a nice bit of color, but are probably a bit too big. (In case you haven't realized it yet, I've reduced the size of my side bar to 200 pixels, because the standard one [is it 300?] always messes with people's sigs and stuff, giving me posts that I can't completely read in my entries. [And those longer posts are also the ones I want to read too! ] Unfortunately, setting the pict size to 200 wasn't
So I've been going through some of my older stories on my laptop, including a couple of Bionicle ones, notably Kulagi's Kanoka and Mystery on Keli Nui. The first one was about an Onu-Matoran Kanoka maker in Metru Nui flying around evading Vahki and Gang Matoran and stuff. I'd reckon that it was one of my most popular stories ever on BZP, and going back I really liked the overall flow of the plot, although there were some things I would change now. The mystery one was for the epics mystery c
In my opinion, it isn't wrong to have an imaginary friend.
Even at the age of 19.
And it's not bad to have an imaginary girl friend.
But it is bad if your imaginary friend and imaginary girlfriend don't get along.
Luckily, I don't have this problem.
The two get along just fine.
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
By now, if you're anybody of anybody (who's going to Brickfair and / or reads CFrog's or Nukaya's blog) you should know about the BrickFair 2010 Mosaic Project. Basically, the idea is to collaborate to create 32x32 plate mosaics that can be combined into massive Bionicle-themed mosaics. CF and Nukaya have been organizing this thing for a while, trying to decide what pictures would be best and who can contribute. And their biggest problem has been that they can't figure out the Pic To Brick mo
