Turkey Shoot

Read The Turkey Shoot by Bohrok Kal of Death. It's one of my most favorite epics I've ever read on BZP, and has everything. Action. Humor. Even some morals. It's a pretty amazing epic, it's long, and, more amazing, it's completed. I want to give a big thanks to BKoD for writing such a cool story and finishing it too. Being an author of a few discontinued stories myself, I know how hard it is to continue writing such a long story... with a lot of long breaks as well. But he did it, and it

Brickfest Matoran...

Unless things go drasticlly wrong, I hope to send this little guys to Brickfest. Plus, back shipping should be free as I want to go there on Sunday, where I can just pick up my LEGO Bricks and be off. After, you know, I see what else is there.   Now, lo and behold, I have a really bad picture, but a picture nonetheless, of Custom Matoran! Woot!

I Wrote Something!

I'm just viewing that as an acomplishment.   Well, the story was non Bionicle, and anyway on my Microsoft 95 computer that has absolutly no connection to the outside world. But, hey, I typed up about five pages on a battle sequence. Wasn't my best one ever, and the characters in said story are turning out a little more bland that I want. Point in case, the story is never going to be read by anybody beside myself, but it was still updated.   If you want another acomplishment, I won 2nd place

Nostalgia Voting

If you like the good old days and would like to vote for a remake of a popular Matoran, you may want to check out BBC 41 Poll E, and check out my entry. Or, if you are voting based on design, you may also want to look at a few of the other entries as well.   I'm kinda surprised, really. I've gotten 8 votes real quick-like. That's more than some of my other entries, and it's only the first day.   I predict I'll get really close, but lose, and then say something on the board that makes me loo

Late At Night

Turns out I post alot of blog entries when I'm up real late at night. Spent the last half hour reading through them. It's now 12:50, so it's technically early morning or something right now. Bummer.   So, I'm working on a BSA Eagle Scholorship (due in two days, but I've gotta send it). Today (yesterday) was a totally horrible day, 'cause we had to rewrite an essay in English. I'll spare the details, but it was for an unjust (in my opinion) reason and my hand really hurt after two hours of

Fundraising

For my school's musical presentation, I'm in charge of fundraising, AKA organizing stuff to put into gift baskets that we can raffle off to the audience. That means typing up letters and going to buisnesses and begging asking for donated stuff.   Turns out, big corperations like Albertsons and Walgreens are big on giving stuff away via store managers. No, I have to go find somebody else to talk to, who probably doesn't even know where my community is. Then other places give me free stuff bef

Look At The Topic.

This one. And reply. If you feel like it.   On another topic, I was kinda annoyed by the show Heros tonight. It's not back on till April? That's just as bad as lost!! Oh, and they killed one of the more likeable characters too. Looked like there were alot of people getting in trouble in that episode.   On another topic, the weather was pretty amazing today. It's March, but it was sunny, reasonably warm when it was sunny, and I spent it inside the school building. Tipical Monday.   On

After Midnight...

We're gona let it all hang down...   (Okay, lame Eric Claptan reference... did I even spell Claptan right?)   Anyway, there's just something appealing to surfing BZP after 12 AM Pacific Coast Time. Normally, it's not that busy, unless Bink is doing something with the server or people in Europe are getting on way too early or something. Anyway, I just finished my school assignment, after starting it at 9 and actually working on it by 11. So, yeah, lifes good. The house is quiet, I'm on t

How?

How do you get back into writing when you have no real inspiration and little free time. I feel like working on an epic, but I never seem to have any fresh ideas to move it forward and I spend my free time just mindlessly surfing BZP (and sometimes leaving mindful posts). But, really, I'm just falling out of writing.   And I can't do any right now. It's midnight. I should be in bed.

It's Like Getting Free Squid With A Barakki

Today, I got bored while driving people around, so on one of my trips, I stopped by my local Fred Meyers to see if there was any sales on LEGO Bricks. There was; a 20% off sale on all LEGO Bricks, including Barakki. So I picked up Kalmah, and instead of ten bucks, he was only eight. But there was also some squid ammo, so I grabbed a box as well, and that turned out to be a tad less than two dollars. So, with the two things combined, it was about a full $10, but it's almost like I get the squ

Yay For Me.

I'm going to my first choice college.   I don't have to be a bum. I can go pay to be taught complicated stuff.   Is this a victory or not?

English Assignment

I stayed up til 1 in the morning writing a book report (extensive book report) on Ernest hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Great story, read it if you have the chance and paitence. But write a huge book report on it? Naw, that'll kill ya. Oh, and I started on it at 8 tonight.   BTW, I still deny that I procrastinate. I see no evidence of it.   Night, y'all.

Forget That Other Game.

What was it called, "Titan Quest"? I got Lego Star Wars II now!   Yeah, apparently my parents got it, but were holind out until my grades came out. Although I didn't do so swell (turns out a load of A-s aren't so good as an A... my GPA is still down. But on the other hand, I attaned a school of perfectionists who must maintain a 4.0 GPA). But, hey, and A is an A (even if it is a minus) so they rewarded me.   I heard Bionicle Heroes was fun, but had some drawbacks. I've heard Lego Star War

A Little Excitement

Check out this topic, if you please.   I must say, this is the highlight of my BZP career. Now I just need to start writing again...

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

Titan Quest

Ever played it? Ever heard of it? Hmm, maybe we aren't getting anywhere here.   Anyway, it's this action game that's suppose to be alot like Diablo (never played Diablo, though, so I can't reallt tell). Anyway, you're an anchient warrior in Greece fighting off the Titan's and their monsters that're trying to take over the world. Or something along those lines. It's highly likely that I'm confusion my Greek tales up a bit.   Anyway, you kill monster using different bladed weapons, elementa

No Internet

Ethernet card down. No internet access. Hope to be on soon, but can never tell. Bye.   Bah, it's fixed. Kinda. Instead of an ethernet card, we're using a USB. Or something. Our ethernet card burned out somehow, and it's not gona allow us to fix it easily. (By us, I mean my dad. I can use computers, but I'll probably damage them if I work on the interiors). So, our service is a little slower (gosh, how bad will it be during BZP's slow hour?) but I can still log on and answer replies.

If You Have Nothing To Say...

... what should you write in your post?   I've encoutered that lately. I view topics that I want to reply to, but when it comes down to it, I have absolutly nothing to really say about the topic at hand. Therefore, I follow the traditional rule and just don't post. After doing this three or four times, I'm starting to feel inactive.   Now, I'm just waiting for the entry list to be updated for Epics Contest #6. Just to prove that I am a contestant. And that's all I have to look forward t

Kulagi's Kanoka

In honor of Epic’s Contest #6, I’ll do a story report on one of my favorite epics, Kulagi’s Kanoka.     Bio: Based in pre-Toa-Metru Metru Nui, the city of legends is controlled by Turaga Dume and his Vahki, and plagued by the villainous Gang Matoran. Kanoka discs are a necessity for any Matoran in this city, and Matoran known as Kanoka Makers create their trade off this demand. A famous Kanoka Maker named Kulagi suddenly finds himself amidst a Gang Matoran scandal, and he must resist the cr

Kulagi In The Limelight

Yeah, that little Onu-Matoran is probably my coolest character. Not only that, but he's not a Toa hero, but a Matoran who gets everything done. I really need to write an interesting character analisis for him, just to show off how cool he really is. But I don't have time for that tonight.   No, I have a different announcement. Kulagi's two main stories are reentering my BZP life. First of all, I updated the sequel Kanoka Makers of Metru-Nui. I had two left-over chapters that I never got a

Annoyed2

As well as being one of my favorite emotions, it is also my real emotion right now. :annoyed2:   Yeah, this last week, we got a bunch of days off from school due to snowdays. And since our school just doesn't prepare, we have to make all these days up in the summer. So, what, we missed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday because of bad weather. (Monday too, but that was a holiday). For a one day week, it was bothersome. 'Cause on Friday we learned that our senior graduation (when I get to le

What I Think About Bbc Entry Pictures

Here are a few things that bug me in BBC contests concerning Entry Pictures.   Size: I hate it when somebody takes a picture and leaves it at its maximum size. There are programs that allow you to crop and resize, people! I really dislike waiting ages for a pict to load, and then being unable to see the whole MOC because the sceen can't fit the whole picture.   Quality: I don't like fuzzy pictures. I take plenty of fuzzy pictures, but I deleat them. The magic with digital cameras is you c

Epic Contest #6!

Yes, there hasn't been a contest like this one for almost three years (the last one was durring the first year I joined). We get to enter a finished epic and let it get judged. The contest topic can be viewed here. I'm thinking I'll be entering Kulagi's Kanoka, although Time Disruption is also availible. Of course, that would probably kill the judges... sixty chapters. Before I enter, I'll likely be spell-checking and grammer checking it again... but I will be entering. And who knows, ma

Dekar

Okay, I finally purchased some of the new 2007 sets. Precisely, the Po-Matoran Dekar. This Matoran has some high points and low points. I'll sort them out in this review.   First of all, I love the body design. It’s made from those +00+ boards that I use to build custom Matoran (seen here). Plus, the new weapons are unique… think about it, a new weapon mold for a Matoran set! I can see future uses of them in MOCs. And then there’s a new mask. I never got Toa Norik, so this one’s new for

Buy Bionicle Stuff

Although it cost me about $20, today I got Mantax (the black Bakari), Dekar (The Po-Matoran), and Bionicle Legends 6 (the newest book). Luckily, I got the book for free because I had a Border's Reward. I expect to write a few reviews on them, but first, I have to write a 5 page essay on my Senior Project for High School.   Oh boy.   But, yeah, I am now up to date with the latest in Bionicle stuff, and Lego now has a good portion of my Christmas moneys. (Seriously, these things are getting
