There's still some work to be done, but I'm quite impressed with its current look.

October starts this Wednesday, and I find it hard to believe that Christmas is less than 3 months away. Today I present to you the last MOCotW for September. Read on to see who won.

I'm so excited for the upcoming total Lunar Eclipse next month. It'll start sometime around 7:30 PM (Central Time) and totality will begin at precisely 9 PM. This event will be visible to all of North America.

The Unofficial Nocturn Review
When I go to a department store to buy a new Lego set, I use the box to determine which one to buy. Nocturn's box impressed me greatly.
Here's the front. Front
And here's the back. Back
There's a Toa Mahri teaser of some sort on the back as well. Can you find it? Look at the shadowy figures in the lower-right; it's Kongu, Hahli, and Nuparu.
Building Nocturn was very easy. The instructions are pretty straight forward, and the overall design isn't too
Got a lot of cool school courses, enjoying my time there, and got plenty of things to keep me occupied throughout the day. Also, I proved to a teacher that my note-taking skills rely on the existence of Chaos Theory. It was epic.
Life is good.

I've waited a long time to speak my thoughts of the Mistika, but finally, I'll reveal them. Personally, I believe that the vehicles are total win, and Takanuva is gonna be the first summer set I buy. The canister sets, however, disappoint me. $12.99 for the Mistika? Never. I really don't find them (setwise) nice enough to buy at $9.99, let alone $12.99. I completely understand the price rise, and I totally respect every one of you who likes the Mistika though, and if you do, that's awesome
If my sources are correct, the upcoming Lunar Eclipse is the very last one until December 20th .................... of 2010.
*is gonna cry if this one's cloudy*
I'm back.
Also, I was at a band festival yesterday until really, really, late, so I wasn't able to do much on BZP. Oh well, I had fun, and it was rather enjoyable.
School gets out in just over a month!

Ducky O'Dalek, a distinguished member of BZPower recently sent me a PM with this little bit of information. Something like this happens once in a century! Also, I've seen the comet mentioned in that article, and it looks amazing. Use the star chart in the article to find it.
Many thanks to Ducky O'Dalek, and I'll definitely be outside seeing all this; will you?

I'M STILL ALIVE!
Prom is going on right now, and I'm safe and sound at a friends house over 30 miles away.
I haven't even touched a computer for almost 36 hours, so hopefully that'll explain my absence.
Also, been playing Platinum. Got all 8 badges, captured Giratina successfully, and have my pokemon between level 46 and 52.

And now for the story behind these two paintings. Yes, those are my pieces of artwork, and I found them the other day while cleaning out my closet. I painted them about a year and a half ago in art class at school. The humorous thing is that those paintings were rushed pieces of artwork for an assignment that was due that very day. I wasn't really putting too much effort into them when I painted them,
Ok, so I wanted to make Samus' Arm Cannon out of BIONICLE pieces, but I failed miserably. Why? Because I wanted it to transform to each of its four possible weapons. I then went to System pieces, and had more luck. Here's the result:
Closeups of each weapon configuration:
Power Beam
Wave Beam/Light Beam
Ice Beam/Dark Beam
Plasma Beam/Annihilator Beam
It was still quite challenging, but I hope you like it. How does it look? Need any improvements?

The Observatory Contest 2 entry deadline is just under a week away. I hope as many of you can enter it as possible! The contest entry will be bumped to the top of my blog sometime soon, so that you can find it more easily.
Also a reminder, there was no MOCotW yesterday (as was stated on nathan8472.com), but there will be one next Sunday.
I apologize for my incredibly long absence from my blog, but I haven't had the chance to update it in a very long time (with vacation and whatnot). I'm
Well, as most of you know, I was gone July 7th through July 11th. I was at Lakewood Park Bible Camp in Devils Lake, ND, and it was awesome. Something else you may or may not know is that I have an eye problem. My right eye is 20/80 and my left eye is 20/100, and I've had contacts/glasses for almost 5 years. In that time, I've prayed for the healing of my eyes several times since then, but nothing had ever happened. In fact, my eyes were growing steadily worse. However, when that camp start
It's big, very big. 17 inches tall, to be exact, and covered in armor. Wanna see it for yourself? Well, here's my final teaser for it.
I'm making some minor adjustments at present, but it should be done completely tonight. It makes me wonder... Can I win my own MOCotW?
Topic should be up tomorrow.

Haven't decided on a name yet, topic will come later, when I think of a name and backstory. More pictures and information will also be in the topic.

No, I didn't do any computer graphical effects on the heartlight, but rather something better.
What do you think?

Almost...
Mario Kart: Wii; I now have one star next to my name, and I just unlocked Mii Outfit B. I've unlocked everything that there is to unlock in the game, and tomorrow, I begin the daunting process of getting two, and then three stars next to my name!
