Sick as a Dog + New MOC

Whooo, woke up today with the flu. And I had a midterm to deal with as well, no less. At least that happened early enough in the day that I didn't feel absolutely awful yet, like I do now.
 
But you know what would help me feel (a little bit) better? If you guys could give my BBC 64 entry a little love. It's one of the better MOC's I've posted in a while, so it would be appreciated.

A New Year, A New Load of Parts

So I went to a mall in Glendale with my family yesterday, and as luck would have it, I found a LEGO Store there. The first thing I noticed was the huge back wall, which was lined with Pick a Brick cubicles -- and I'm talking even more than the Pick a Brick at the nearest LEGO Store to my hometown. It took me quite a white to stuff a large cup, and the store was all out of lids, so I had to get it taped over, but I managed to get a nice haul of pieces once again.

No comment on how many of the light blue round studs I bought. Let's just hope that I have less of these than those switches I bought a while ago.

I also picked up two new 2013 Hero Factory sets! That's right, they had both Pyrox and Ogrum at the store, and since those two have some of the best new parts of the first wave, I bought them.

"What're you lookin' at?"

Needless to say, they both suffer from their share of problems. Pyrox has a hideous head, stubby limbs, and only one of that awesome new trans-orange armor piece. Ogrum is missing a hand on his right arm, which ends in a ball joint for no good reason (a la Hewkii Mahri). And they both suffer from short height and having ridiculous giraffe necks, a la Bitil, Speeda Demon, and Voltix. Still, they make a veritable treasure trove of new parts. There's Hero Factory armor now in dark red, dark green, and reddish brown. Brown! At last, it returns! :happydance:

Finally, I have their new bloodsucking brain/eye pieces.

I don't know what they're officially named, but I like to think of them as Brain Jackers or Spine Slugs. Whatever they are, they're cool.

That's all for now, but expect some interesting MOCs made with some of these parts in the future. Now to wait for the eventual BBC contest . . .

BBC Contests

Man, I hope another one comes along soon. It's been quite the long while since BBC 63, and even though the results aren't up for that contest, I'm starting to wish that we can just move on anyway (although I wouldn't mind finally knowing who won). If the higher-ups are too busy, maybe one of the FAs like Sumiki could host the new contest. I'm sure he'd be able to come up with a creative theme.

As it is, I miss the bimonthly BBC contests of previous years. :bored:

Christmas Loot

Because yay, Christmas and the various goodies that accompany it. I received, in all:

- 3DS XL
- Speeda Demon
- Warp Stinger
- some comfy shirts
- a BrickLink order of my choosing
- various candy
- some cash

I was particularly grateful for the BrickLink order, and Warp Stinger, as those both yielded some great parts to MOC with. :D In fact, I spent quite a while building yesterday, which was fun.

Although it's the day after, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, BZP! :xmas:

If I May Quote Myself

In blog entry "An Analogy -- Life is like a Rubik's Cube: sometimes you need to screw everything up to get it all right."
Or everyone. Posted Image

In response to Seran's WIP image of his Boxor MOC
Although this may be a completely wild guess, I do believe that is a picture.

In blog entry "Dlakii"
Oh my. I didn't know that they made metal sporks.

In "Is there ever a time when you can't post?"
No, since I can always to to GD and post a couple hundred times. XD

In response to "I've forgotten how to blog"
Click "Add entry". Then enter a moronic title. Then click on the text section, mash your keyboard with your fists for as long as you wish, and post it. Congratulations, you now can blog better than the majority of BZP.

In response to "How often do you accidentally post in the wrong topic?
Never. I have these magical devices called eyes and this thing called a brain which prevent that. They're quite handy.

In "The weakest element"
Xenon, or perhaps Radon and Argon. Really, a Toa of Noble Gas can't control much at all, due to how few things they bond with. Xenon hexafluoride is all that immediately comes to mind, in fact.

In "Hardest thing to MOC"
Fluffy pink tutus. Mainly because of the slight handicap of pink Bionicle pieces not existing.

In "Talking to staff members"
Talking to staff members? Well, I'm generally okay with it as long as I have my pepper spray nearby.

...

In "Mask powers"
Hurr durr.

In "What did you do during the downtime"
I sat in a shadowy corner in a fetal position for five days, rocking back and forth in a crazed manner.

In "How do you imagine yourself on BZP?"
I am a Nidoking, obviously. How these stubby little claws are capable of typing on a keyboard I'll never know. :P

In blog entry "Bascula"
Hooray, I'm a geek.
