Prime Time

So whoa, forgot this thing still existed. Anywho, been really busy and such this past year, doubt that I'm going to be any less busier. Shipping out to Utah for a week on Sunday and then moving into a new apartment when I get back, so I don't think I'll be by the pieces for a good while.

However, I did manage to build something (well actually I built It awhile ago and have just now taken some decent pictures of it)

Well, to start things off, first year in a loooooooooong while that I did not get any Lego whatsoever for Christmas. I think the last time that happened, the Piraka had just been announced and I wasn't too interested in Bionicle at the time (although I got interested in it again when the Inika came out, so that was pretty short lived). Well, who knows, maybe I'll get some Lego on my Birthday in t-minus 5ish days.

Anywho, I got:

• A box of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies
• Two Brooks Brothers Bow-ties
• A bag of Swedish Fish
• 300 Hardcover Graphic Novel
• A wool sweater
• A lot of socks

All in all a great haul, for sure.

So, dunno how many of y'all know about Lego CUUSOO, but essentially people can post up "projects" and if there's enough support from other users, Lego will review the project and it has a shot at being a set. So, I thought that I would post up my old Midak Mech on it and see if it gains any traction (because, personally, seeing a MOC become a Lego set would be pretty awesome) and also because I think it's the most viable one.

Feel free to support the project if you think it's a good idea, and let me know if you think there are any of my other MOCs that would be a better idea for a CUUSOO project instead, or something that would make this project better.

Cheers!

I'll take more pictures once I make a new lightbox, my old one got smashed when I moved out of my apartment. There are some spots on this guy that I want to touch up, but I'm happy with the overall look of the MOC, especially the silhouette.

So glad to be done with finals, going to be enjoying my 2 week winter break. Already have at least one MOC in the works this break, we will see if I build any more.

Looking forward to going back to work on the 3rd, but I miss being at school. It's kind of surreal thinking about the fact that I'm going to be 20 in less than 13 days. Time sure does fly.

Been awhile since I've been here or had really anything to do with Lego. Maybe I'll build something over Thanksgiving break, but I've been crazy busy these last couple of months. Life's been crazy, for sure.

How have y'all been?

So, howdy I guess.

I've been considerably busy this school term, what with doing 20 credit hours, pledging to a fraternity, having my own radio show, going to track meets, doing homework, participating in the Student Alumni Council, and a bunch of other stuff.

So, because I felt that I didn't want to get blindsided by all of the stuff I'm going to have to do once my classes start to ramp up (and I know they will, considering 3 of the 5 classes I'm taking are Sophmore I level classes and I'm only a Freshman II), I went to Home Depot and bought a 4x8 piece of dry erase board, had it cut up into four equal segments, and started to put together a week calendar (which is what is posted), a homework calendar, and an event calendar (for stuff happening in the future).

So yeah. I go home tomorrow for easter, and who knows, maybe I'll grab some of my pieces and take them back with me.

AND NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF

I beat single player on Portal 2 in under 8 hours, way solid game. I won't give out any spoilers about what actually happens in the game, but J.K. Simmons as Cave Johnson is awesome.

Been super busy recently, between working overtime, moving out of my apartment and into the dorms, and starting up my new school term and pledging for my fraternity. Really disappointed that I didn't build anything for the MOCAthalon.

Anywho, y'all shouldn't expect much new from me for awhile, as my parts are at home.

So, I think it's just insane how much my life is different than what it was like right when I graduated high school (which was only 10 months ago). There was a month of downtime between when High School ended and "College" (in my case, "Work") started.

In the past 9 months, I've:

• Had 3 school terms, yet only even been on campus for one
• Worked 40 hours a week for 6 months
• Moved out of my parents house
• Joined a fraternity
• Rented my own apartment
• Started paying taxes
• Learned that I'd rather live with my family while I'm working than be on my own, even though they annoy me sometimes and living on my own is awesome (mainly because it saves me a ton of money)
• Learned that it is really hard to stick to a budget, and just because I have money doesn't mean I should spend it
• Felt that everything's just flying by
• Learned that 17 credit hours are not only possible, but pretty easy (for intro classes)
• Decided that I made a great decision coming to Kettering
• Talked to parents and Scouts about what it's like being an Eagle Scout at 4 different Blue and Gold Banquets
• Found out that I'm much more of a gearhead than I thought
• Not built a whole lot
• Attended my first Lego Convention
• Had the most fun of my life hanging with people I never new before college, yet rarely talking to my "best friends" from high school
• Put on weight, more than I wanted to, and have struggled with it, but I'm improving
• Bought a sound system
• Became a big fan of electronic music
• Gone to my first live concert (it was awesome)
• Learned how to draft and make things in CAD
• Learned to not be as worried about how people view me
• Decided on what my focus is going to be: Plastic Product Design

Like, stupid rich. Because there are just somethings that you can only get when you're so rich you don't know what to do with yourself.

Just to note though, at 180k (USD), the Morgan Aero Supersports is cheaper than a 458 Italia by about 130k. And I totally rather have the Aero.

Cool, forums are back on line.

Anywho, going on my Brotherhood Ski Trip this weekend, pretty stoked.

For the 2011 MOCAthalon over on MOCPages.

So, for all y'all partaking in it, we're definitely going to give you some mad competition

So, um, I want to buy them all. Well, let me rephrase that. I want to buy 2 of all of the heroes, a witch doctor, and maybe Rocka XL.

But wow, LEGO has got me hooked on this line for the foreseeable future.

First off, thanks for letting me pander to you.

NOW, check this guy out:



Retinence has really outdone himself on this one.

I don't really like pandering for comments, but I was wondering if some of y'all could take a look at my BBCC 61 entry

Thanks.

Feel free to comment in the topic (click the pic for a link)

Well, from the last BBCC contest I entered (55) anyways:



But I do have an entry for 61. And I plan on getting farther than I did in 55. >:]

I will enter this.....

I think.

I actually posted a topic!

I will take decent pictures of this guy in his full, final glory.

Probably tonight if my batteries continue to cooperate.
