Getting hit by a car on your bike hurts and ruins your wheels. I am mostly okay but I have this nasty deep bruise on my chest from where the handlebars and I became close, close, close friends. It hurts pretty bad. The car that hit me wasn't going very fast, it was a kid who was turning right on a red light and was looking the wrong direction, decided to go and then discovered two feet later that I was there. So nothing fast or dangerous but it was still not fun. And now I have to walk the
So, I think it's safe to say that we all know I'm into Homestuck, and it's all Nukaya's fault, being the persuasive girlfriend that she is. Ray tried to get me into it like a year before I finally did get into it but he clearly was not persuasive enough. ANYWAY So sometimes, in the Homestuck fandom, you see images of people cosplaying the characters and stuff, and you're like "haha, that's silly but good for them". I'm kind of baffled by how Homestuck seems to bring out so many cosplayers, a
So guys: BricksCascade and Brickfair. BricksCascade is the first weekend in June, and Brickfair the first weekend in August. I am the coordinator for both, as we've previously established. And, as also previously established, if you send me MOCs for BricksCascade, you will not only be eligible for one of our FOUR BIONICLE trophies (hand-made and designed by yours truly), but I can also take them to appear at Brickfair as well, for NO ADDITIONAL COST. Yes, this would mean I'd have your MOCs
So, the other day Nukaya and I were talking about video games. I haven't really played a whole lot of video games since the Gamecube days, and even then, it was basically just Metroid Prime, SSBM, and Zelda: Wind Waker. (I've loved Zelda games since OoT back for the N64, and I bought Majora's Mask with my own money back in middle school). Anyway, we were talking about how we enjoy playing the Wii back at her parents' house, and how it would be nice to have one here in our house. She was joking
Jason's entry about the different Vancouvers made me think about the week Maddison (Nukaya) and I spent in Vancouver, BC, with Andrew (McSmeag), Hanni (LehvakLah), and Jen (Tufi Piyufi), with special guest appearance from Bryan (Makaru). It was a really good time, and it was a beautiful city with so many cool, cool aspects to it. So many random little corners, so many hidden gems. I just wanted and still want to explore it and just soak it in. So what I'm saying is.... Because it looks
He's back, and he's watching. People asked for it and now HT is gracing the banner once again. (I might be blogging about this because I made it and ray made it work as a graphic)
Okay, there will be a news article sometime soon with the details for how to send in MOCs for BricksCascade (and by extension, any MOCs sent in for Cascade will be automatically sent to Brickfair as well, as I'm the coordinator for both conventions, and so for just one shipment of MOCs, your stuff can hit both coasts). ALSO THERE WILL BE PROTOTYPES FOR ANYONE WHO SENDS STUFF IN. BUT, that's not what I'm here for right now. One of the great things about BIONICLE and BZPower has always been th
This was my favourite stuffed animal when I was a kid. For Easter, when I was in second grade, he was hidden on the top of the curtain rod in my bedroom. I was very short and tiny still, so in order to get him down, I used my Nerf bow and arrow, and I shot him from beneath until he flew off. He has been my favourite since then, along with Freckles the Beanie Baby I got when I was in fourth grade in the hospital with deathly pneumonia. But that's a different story! Maddison and I have been prac
Maddison is working on a project for her photography class that involves using light in interesting ways. So we went to the studio and light-painted. With LEGO. Because we can.
As mentioned in the last entry, I don't have any LEGO parts up here in Oregon. Luckily, Maddison has a few sets. I wanted to build something, so I took her Rocka XL down from the shelf, and rebuilt him. This is all from just the one set, and there's only about fifteen pieces left over, mostly pins. It's not anything serious (hence the blog entry, and not a topic in the BBC). Anyway, enjoy. |
The hardest part of the move to Oregon has been that it was a very last minute move, and it means that my stuff is all still in Oklahoma, minus the clothing and computer/camera equipment I brought up here for what was initially a Christmas and New Years visit. Which means, the worst part of it all is that all my LEGO parts, that I've gathered and purchased and sorted over the years, are all still in Oklahoma, which means that I have all these MOC ideas, and no way to make them real. Hopefull
Man, what is this nonsense. A little Hapori Tohu head by my posts? Nah man, nah. There's no way I've been on this infernal site for ten years, today. Or maybe I have! (On a totes madgabbin side note, this is like, for reals the best smiley ever: )
Hey guys, it's not advertised, but BricksCascade's registration is up now! So if you want to come hang out with me in Portland this June (on my birthday weekend!), and see a bunch of cool MOCs, sign up! Also, as you may have guessed, I'm the Bionicle coordinator! And I'll have details for you guys who want to ship MOCs in soon too! Also also, as a double bonus, all MOCs shipped in for BricksCascade can also be sent into Brickfair at no extra charge. I'll just keep them, your boxes, your retu
