I must say, GBG is pleased.
For those of you who don't know, I had a piano recital (you might if you read Sunneh's blog, and even then: thoroughly). Also, for those of you who don't know, I've been playing piano for 7-8 years now, so... yeah.
Anyways, the recital went quite well, considering the fact that in practicing right before I messed up right at the beginning majorly and in some other spots over the course of my playing it through 3 or so times. DX During the recital itself, howev
Very, very, busy.
Two things: School, and my non-profit "Dollar for a Drink" are taking up all of my time. I built a bit with LEGO last weekend (I think.....) and it's coming fine. I don't think I'll have anything built ANY time soon though. School is going great; I'm really enjoying Greek especially.
Meh, I haven't blogged in so long, I don't know what to say. I haven't really been keeping up with BZP much this past week. Sure, I've seen the BrickFair coverage, as well as the fact that BB
I went to Target this afternoon to pick up Gresh, but believe it or not they were sold out of him. :angry: Oh, and they had like three of every other canister set.

BBCC #52 voting anyone? I'm numbah 10.

I will not be entering, due mainly to the fact that I simply have not had time to build something really good, and no mind-blowing ideas came to me to begin with. Sad, yes, but you can't enter them all. There are some really amazing entries this time around; stuff which I would have no hope of competing with. I sorta built a Han Solo, but there wasn't anything innovative about him really... BBCC's just don't hold the weight with me as they used to (I'm growing up I guess) I am looking forward to
Well, I meant to blog about this last night, but forgot (it was late anyway).
My family and I went to see Pixar's UP last evening with some friends of ours. The movie was extremely unique, creative, fun, and I really enjoyed it quite a bit! Definitely worth going to see and even owning if you enjoy good quality plots and animated comedies that are family friendly. There were very few characters, but I never found myself getting bored with them. They were all so different, but Pixar did an ama
So, the fam and I are on vacation at the moment. We are currently located in Morristown Tennessee, and are on our way to Wake Forest North Carolina.
It's actually a kindof work/vacation trip, seeing as my dad will be teaching at Southeastern Seminary this next week, but after that we are going to be in DC for a week of being tourists. I need to find out where the LEGO store is located there...
Anywhoo, We spent the evening with the family of a very good friend of my mother's whom she wen
I am writing this blog entry to bring to your attention the fact that anyone can enter my blog contest now, and not just those who have won BBCC's in the past. I hope that this way more people can enter (there needs to be more, there aren't any yet!). So what are you waiting for? Scroll on down to the two blog entries before this one to sign up!

Congratulations Arpy on winning the BZPower MoCist duels contest!
Here is your trophy!:
I must say, really liked your entry. The use of two masks was good, I like the colors, and the build of the guy was great. You conformed to the criteria well, and I think that you deserved the win here. (unlike the winner of the last contest... *cough cough*)
Anyway, in terms of real life (yes, such a thing does exist, for you internet addicts out there) I will be rather busy this semester, so
What's up with Majhost.com? I can't get on it, and none of the pics from the site are loading here on BZPower. I would like to upload my navigator images, but I can't at the moment. Does anyone know? I hope that they come up soon, seeing as my blog contest will start next week (if maj still isn't working, I probably won't start it then). Are there any other image uploading websites out there?

Well everyone, I am pleased to announce that the two duelists for our BZP MoCist duels have been chosen! And those duelists are...
Draco Cyanopterus
vs.
Arpy!
Unfortunately, I don't have the challenge thought up yet (and I want it to be very well thought of and sortof complex). Thus, you will have to wait until later this morning or early afternoon (CST).
Congratulations on being chosen, and I look forward to your MoCs! Until then...
~GBG~
Ok, so I just got reprimanded several times over in the polls for calling some of the other MoCs rip-offs. This was not the best or nicest of behavior and thus once I had this pointed out to me I apologized and edited my posts. I just wasn't thinking properly when I posted. Live and learn my friends, live and learn.
What I find ironic is the fact that in the past I have defended other MoCists for creating what appears to be a copy of some technique or MoC of another MoCist based on this pri
Made you look!
jk. But on a serious note, I have some thoughts on the recent happenings around here.
I hope to write up a good blog entry here sometime in the near future...
Strike that. First of all, it sounds noobish.
Secondly, I don't have the time to write a big blog entry nor to I want to get mixed up in this business.

Anyway, it's looking as if DV and Roa and going to have a match coming up! We shall see... In the mean time, I would like to thank all of you who have participated in this blog contest so
Ok, I'm about fed up with MoCing at the moment. I've used most of my good pieces and I'm running short on small technic connector pieces (specifically the (+O+) ones). Gah, I'm hitting a serious block for the arms. I think I may have something going, but we'll see. I love the rest of the MoC, but the tough part will be fitting in the arm's style with the rest of it...
For those of you who do, prayers for inspiration would be wonderful.

... for the second half of the semis and all of the finals, which will make it all the more interesting when I get back to see the results!
Where will I be? Well, I'm leaving on a mission trip tomorrow morning with my youth group, and I won't be back until Friday afternoon. It's actually just to the downtown area of my city, but it's gonna be great none-the-less. We will mostly be doing manual labor stuff along the lines of repairing houses (a house actually, I think), among other things.
I just wanted to remind you guys to vote in the final round of the MoCist Duels Contest. Roa and DV are tied, and we still need someone to break that tie! The voting shall continue throughout the rest of the day as well as all of tomorrow. The final Duel results shall hopefully be posted up Saturday morning.

Yeah, I know that "normal" isn't all that impressive, but I still beat it. I'll probably go back next summer and try it on Hypermode difficulty (which I hear is ridiculously hard). The final boss battles were ok; I liked the dark Samus fight much better than the Aurora Unit 313 battle. The AU just seemed to simple in concept (it stayed in once spot while it spit Dark Echo Samus' at
