The Songs of Distant Earth

1,000 posts

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:49:00 +0000

So a week or so ago I noticed that I was coming up on 1,000 posts. I resolved to pay attention so I could make that 1,000th post count for something.

Today I checked back and my post count was 1,007. Whoops.

Anyway, you'd think I'd have more posts than that given how long I've been here, but I'm far from the most active member. It...

BrickFair or Bronycon?

Sun, 25 Nov 2012 02:06:00 +0000

They're both happening the same weekend next year, and for once Bronycon is within a reasonable distance of my home in Virginia.

I'm definitely going to BrickFair (as I have for every year since its inception), but it'll be a shame to miss out on Bronycon when it shows up on my doorstep.

Part of me wonders if it would be feasible to visit...

Too Many Pinkie Pies

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 17:27:00 +0000

I think that latest episode was okay, but far from the best.

My main gripe was that I had been hoping for the real Pinkie to take a more active role in getting rid of the fakes. The least she could've done was to somehow...

Pok�mon Nicknames

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:37:00 +0000

So I thought, while the recent Pokémon games are on everyone's minds, I'd blog about nicknames.

I never used to nickname my Pokémon back in the days of G1 or G2. I only started in G3, when I decided on a whim to name my Sceptile "Katana". I don't think I nicknamed any of my others, and that's kind of a relief,...

Hey Look, A Review

Sun, 06 May 2012 11:25:00 +0000

I'm actually staff on The Ninjago Wiki. Hard to believe, right? Probably even for people there, seeing as like here on BZP I am far from the most...

Back To Normal-Er

Fri, 04 May 2012 19:58:00 +0000

Okay, I'm back to being Lyichir. And a good thing, too, since I was a bit worried the few people who recognized me before might have stopped recognizing me.

This time just Lyichir, full stop. It's briefer and doesn't prompt questions of what a Rachira is supposed to be. Plus it helps to standardize my usernames across LEGO fansites. Speaking...

Ortographobia

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:44:00 +0000

I am now Ortographobia, or the fear of spelling mistakes. I thought it'd be fitting since I work as a copy editor half the week.

So, I want all of you to do your very best to spell correctly in the next 45 days. I'll be trying my hardest not to freak out at every mistake you end up making anyway.

Wait...

This is the...

Name Change?

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:00:00 +0000

I'm considering changing my name to a phobia like the staff. But is it too late to jump on the bandwagon? I've been mulling over a name change for some time; so after 45 days of a phobia name you'd probably just see me as Lyichir. That'd help keep people from wondering what a Rachira is, and keep me from having to direct them to the aborted...

Ponies A Meme?

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 23:09:00 +0000

It seems that as soon as Takuma Nuva changed his name to Equinophobia and declared a fear of ponies, all the anti-bronies have been coming out of the woodwork. I'm not blaming Takuma for this, as his comments have been hilarious. What isn't is the proliferation of members replying with "This. I've been waiting for this meme to die" and...

A Friend In Deed

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:37:00 +0000

It's a little weird how many people blogged about this episode with the same title as it. Seriously, I've seen like four already.
