ZOMG my blog has over one-thousand views.

SO ANYWAYS.
I have all three. The T6 I got a long time ago. The T9 I got at forty percent off at the Scratch & Dent at the Lego Store in Seattle, during the BrickCon Lego Store visit. I actually have Roa to thank for that one - she also wanted it, but she said that if she got in before me she wouldn't take it.
The T3 I got right before we headed back to Vancouver, at twenty-five percent off, since all BrickCon attendees get twenty-fiv
I think that must be the most-used blog entry title on BZP. Or anywhere, for that matter.
Anyways, the holidays have been rather nice so far. My dad and I finally got around to moving our record player into my room (since I'm the only one who ever listens to records) so now I have a full stereo system in my room. This, combined with having around two hundred records to choose from, makes for some awesome entertainment. It sounds rather wonderful.
No Lego gets for Christmas, but I did recei

Anywasy, I ;m basically copying Arpy here. Writing down whatever happens untill I go to bed, wich will probably be around 5:00 tihis year. Gonna try to beeat my record, which is 4:30 or sometihing.
[11:53] - OMG SEVEN MINUTES
[11:53] - My mom jsut turned on the TV to see wether there's a new year's special on.
I've never been much of a gamer, but I've always enjoyed the LEGO games. Recently I've also gotten into playing Smash. Anyways, I just picked up a bunch of LEGO games on Steam. Star Wars Complete Saga, Clone Wars, Marvel Super Heroes, LotR, Hobbit and Indiana Jones 2. Good thing I don't have much important stuff to do this summer. -Letagi
Okay, so some of you (if you read that content block) might know that I'm sort of a Star Trek fan.
Well, all ten movies are being played on TV tonight. We're watching the first one right now.
Hooray.

Okay, so I just watched the last four movies. All of them were very good. I've actually seen three of them, but quite a while ago.
Wow. I watched nine hours of TV today. I almost never watch TV.
Now to watch The Wrath Of Khan and The Search For Spock. Tomorrow.

Was awesome.
Now let's see here...
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «I think there were a few annoying things in the movie. For one, what was with the Spock/Uhura thing? It was completely pointless. Also, when they ejected the warp core, they didn't eject the core, they ejected about twenty cores.
There were others, but I don't feel like naming them right now.
But overall, it was a very good movie. There are just some problems with the writing. And yes, I know it was
I've gotten back into Lego recently. I had forgotten - along with what an incredible strain on one's bank account this hobby can be - how much fun this stuff is!
I was always interested in rare and unusual Bionicle sets and collectibles and have gotten a few things recently that fall into that category. I thought I'd post some pictures here of my more interesting new acquisitions.
Still sealed, including the plastic wrap; here's the back.
Green Nuva weapons, probably l
I've got a few things on my mind.
First of all, I didn't get picked for the PPMS. Hm.
Second of all, the new chapter of the BZMS is up. I was promised a part in this chapter, but I wasn't in it. I've been waiting for at least six chapters. Eh.
Also, S@H doesn't have the MTT anymore. Bah.
I think there was one other thing, but I can't remember what it was.

How unfortunate.
But my classes are going well for the most part, so I should be able to survive the year largely unscathed.
Day One:
Enriched Socials 10
Enriched Math 10
PE 10
Enriched Science 10
Day Two:
Enriched French 10
Senior Band (not so senior for me and some others)
Planning 10 (mandatory course for all grade 10s. Completely useless, full of stuff like career ed and things)
Enriched English 10

...And I'm doing homework. Or rather I'm about to.
And I will be doing homework for about the next two-ish hours, maybe less.
During this time I will need to keep my sanity, or what's left of it at least, so any and all attempts to distract me will be much appreciated. Really.
Basically I've got a bunch of science to do and I have to take some notes on Parliament.
Homework shall now commence.

I left basically the same day BZP died, then I got back and found out it was dead, then I left again the day it came back. I'll be back home at around 7:00 today. And there's no Internetz where I am.

Good job if you know who Carlos Santana is. Bad job if you don't.
He's one of the world's greatest guitarists.
Anyways, he was in Vancouver last night. My dad and I went to his concert. Wow.
He was really good.
-
I has tickets. Friday night. It will be awesome. Decent seats, too. Unfortunately I'm on my own.
In other news, my Science Fair partner and I have made it to the Canada-wide competition in Toronto in May. Looking forward to that as well.
Also, Moanin' by Charles Mingus is an incredible tune. Look it up.

Eight years ago today, I made the switch from the LEGO Message Boards to BZPower, going by the name Letagi Le-Koro Gukko Pilot. In short order I became Letagi Great Toa of Air, and then just Letagi. I was The Fruglymobile Captain for a while, a tip of the hat to one of Arpy's old MOCs that I liked, and since 2008 I've just been Letagi. I still remember avidly reading Dark709's comics back in the first few years of my membership, and noticing that he had a four-year Norik spinny, and thinking h
*Dusts off account* *Dusts off blog* Hey people. I did a thing: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/14647-official-rare-promotional-collectibles-topic It's even pinned. I feel so special. Check it out. -L
Yesterday Andrew posted this article by Jonathan Last to the front page. While I agree it's nice to see a mention of the LEGO hobby in more widely-read media, as something of a journalist myself I have a few bones to pick with this bit of writing. The article on Acculturated is titled "The Cult of LEGO - It's creepy. And awesome." The title on the New York Post is "Why Legos [sic] are the best toy ever (for adults too)." Both titles are a little cringe-worthy if you've ever read or written for
It's been a good long while since I was involved to any degree in an Internet debate, but here goes. I like canonizations. I like world-building. I've always thought of the Kanohi mask as being the primary emblem of Bionicle; it was a symbol that captured the mysticism and tribal feel of the early years, the science-fantasy feel of the later years, and it was one of the few constants that remained throughout the entire story. Wherever the story went, there were always Kanohi. So masks are so
Let me make something clear.
I'm not blogging about Halloween because THE EVE OF ALL HALLOWS IS A LIE
