It took us long enough, I admit. But we finally had time to conference and get this worked out. BBC Contest 63 results! We'll have something for 64 soon.
So being in Portland, we're about four hours from the Canadian border. You might have noticed that Hahli Husky and Nukaya have both blogged about us traveling up there to hang out recently. It's a fun get-away, and since Janus and HH live literally on the other side of the border, it's pretty feasible. ANYWAY. I wanted to share this cool panorama I took of the same place I took a cool panorama back in January when we traveled up to Vancouver with AndrewSmeag and Hanni. I think my new goal is t
So, Nukaya and I adopted a cat this past weekend. She is five years old, and we got her from the Oregon Humane Society. She was abandoned as a kitten in a fountain, and the couple that found her had her for four and a half years, and never named her. The cat thought her name was "Kitty Hungry?" Apparently at one point she even disappeared for three months and they never looked for her, and she just showed back up one day. A friend of this couple was talking to them and they gave her the cat, and
I cast an absentee ballot a few weeks ago, but today's the day most of the rest of the country votes. I probably don't even have to say iit, but I voted for Obama/Biden. I couldn't fathom voting any differently.
Sorry I suck at updating this, Nukaya and I have been doing a lot of traveling and I've been doing so much photo editing and stuff that I kind of forgot! We went down to Oklahoma for a week and a half of October, because I was in the wedding party for two separate weddings on two consecutive weekends. It was a good time and we got to see almost everyone I know down there, and I got to take Maddison to the OKC Bombing Memorial and the Tulsa Zoo and we bought her an OKState Track and Field shirt a
Man, I don't know why I haven't posted in here in awhile. This is crazy. I have stuff for you guys! First things first: These are my pictures from Brickfair: Nextly, Nukaya and I spent a weekend in Ocean Shores, WA back in late August with Janus and Hahli Husky, and that was fun. Two weeks after that, her and I drove up to British Columbia and spent a long weekend with them again, and Makaru flew down to spend two days with us, and on that Saturday, which was Becca's birthday, we went int
Dear everyone who mailed in MOCS: I will NOT be mailing you your MOCs. Chocolatefrogs will. Because of this, and a few mix-ups, and some of you not sending the proper instructions and photos and things like that we asked for, I need you to message him. I NEED you to PM Chocolatefrogs with: - The name on your return shipping address - A list of the MOCs you sent (with links to pictures if possible) - Your address just to be safe You don't have to do this, of course. He also doesn't have
Just thought I'd let you know, your MOC sits on my nightstand next to my "LOVE WINS" bumper sticker and my stuffed rabbit and assorted other important trinkets. She guards the lamp, I think.
Things to finish or start-and-also-finish before Brickfair: (Because as of right now the only new MOC I'll have for Brickfair is Catwoman and I'm NOT okay with only having one new MOC!) Brickeens MOC Big Brickfair animal MOC Bryan the giraffe Random MOC I have only vague ideas for? Oh and maybe I should get my parents to mail me the HF Bulk 3.0 MOC I built last October and left sitting on the kitchen table when I moved to Oregon and then forgot all over again when I went back in April. I
So I recently moved over to Portland. I love this city. It has this life and vitality and this culture I am just so ecstatic about being a part of. I've never been anywhere like it (though Austin comes pretty close). I could definitely spend my life here. ANYWAY, that's just background info. So today I was downtown with some amigs, we ate luch at the Rogue Bar (one of the best burgers I've ever had oh man), and just kind of chilled and walked around. The downtown is always so bustling. So co
I've been waiting for these to show up for weeks now. I'm not complaining, I know that the online Pick-a-Brick is all done by hand, and all in Denmark, so I understand it takes time. But these showed up yesterday and I'm so so so glad they did because now I can really get started on my Brickfair 2012 MOC project.
So I'm watching the end of MI4 (which was a pretty good movie) and the subtitle is "Seattle" and I'm watching and I'm like "man, Seattle looks familiar, even though I've only been through it on a Greyhound twice!" Then I realized it was because that wasn't Seattle. It was Vancouver, BC. And it looked familiar because it was the exact place on Granville Island where I watched Nukaya and LehvakLah get attacked by pigeons. Anyway, not a real point to this except it was one of those "that's
Just bought Greyhound tickets for Maddison and I from La Grande to Portland for Cascade in three weeks. Except that I apparently bought tickets from Portland to La Grande. And I didn't buy the refundable ones. So there goes $90. Yay. Then of course I bought the right ones. I love doubling my expenses!
As per this entry, please send us MOCs! All the relevant address and shipping information can be found in that link. Please mail us stuff! I've received two packages so far and I've got a few more promised. Let's get a ton of stuff sent in and make these conventions the best BIONICLE conventions ever. And bonus! I was recently down in Oklahoma, shipping stuff back up here to Oregon. This included the majority of my LEGO collection. Which means, I have two trophies to show you guys! I built t
Today is STAR WARS DAY. So may the 4th be with you all. And beware, for tomorrow is the Revenge of the Fifth. Also, just four hours until Nukaya and I head to the theatre for the AVENGERS. SUPER STOKED. WHAT A DOUBLE DIP KIND OF GOOD DAY.
