So, the new Star Wars movie comes out in a few hours. Sigh.
Warning: Senseless rant Ahead!
I am an old school Star Wars fan, and am devoted to the original trilogy. So epic. So brilliant. Great characters and acting. The prequel trilogy, on the other hand, I despise. Well, maybe not despise, but I really dislike them. Just too much CGIing, bad dialougues between characters, poor acting, and Jar Jar Binks. Now along comes Clone Wars. It gets slipped in between episodes 2 and 3 again. In ca
I'm going on a Boy Scout camping trip this weekend. The temperature is supposed to be around 30 degrees Farenheit for the next few days, colder at night. Also, we're driving most of the way there, then stopping and hiking the last 10 miles to the camp. There's probably going to be a handful of the new scouts on the trip, who aren't used to these kind of campouts. They whined and complained on the easy trip two months ago, so I'm sure their reaction will be even worse this time... Maybe it will s
My birthday was yesterday. Didn't do much, just slept in and had a small cake after dinner with my family. Other than that it was pretty much just like any other day.
But I did get presents. I recieved Krika, Maxilos and Spinax, some money, and an I.O.U. for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Too bad it doesn't come out 'till mid september. I've been looking forward to that game for a while now, I hope it lives up to expectations.
Anyways, I spent half the morning playing with my new sets. Yes,
I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics last night, and it was stunnning. The artistic portion was amazing in its complexity and perfect choreography.
My favorite part was the field of pillars that went up and down which represented the movable printing blocks. I sat wondering how they were making them move up until the last moment when the lids opened and people popped out! It also mesmerized me because it reminded me of the Akilini field in the Coliseum as seen in Legends of Metru N
I woke up this morning to the sound of a ringing alarm clock. Blargh, Mondays. So I reach over to hit the off button, but it wasn't there. In the dark every side of a square alarm clock looks the same. I could feel an outline where I thought the button was supposed to be, but it was stuck, and didn't even budge. I fumbled and pushed on it for a few minutes, trying desperately to figure out why it wouldn't stop ringing that horrible, high-pitched ring. At last I gave up and instead popped open th
I had a really weird dream last night.
It started out with me on a space mission to Mars with four others in a little spaceship. I'm not sure how, but two of the others mysteriously dissapeared one by one, kind of like a horror movie. Then we were on a small moon of some kind, with a beautiful forest on it. I was mesmerized by it all, the trees, the grass, the flowers, the birds... There was just one little problem though, I was the only one who could see it. My teammates were yelling at me t
Has it really been eight years?
Seeing the video today of Mata Nui's rising had me thinking all day about how far Bionicle had come. And also that I've been following this story for so long. To think that so many years ago I was in third grade when it all began. I moved on to Middle School, and the story moved from Mata Nui to Metru Nui. Now here I am in High School, tenth grade, the story is still growing, and I'm still following it. Who would have guessed, 8 years ago, that my obsession, an
Oh, about that review I said I was going to do...Well, first I was too busy, then I didn't feel like doing it, and then I just stopped caring. Because there's already several other reviews out there, plus we should hopefully be seeing the "official" front page reviews soon. And it's not like anyone was really waiting for my personal opinion anyways. But if you were, here's a simple, mini guide as to whether or not you should buy her:
1. Do you like the color green?
2. How about black?
3. Do
Well, it's been a pretty busy week, and I haven't had any time to write up an entry till now. Actually, that's not entirely true. On Tuesday or Wednesday I had a whole long entry written up and ready to post, but then my internet froze and the computer shut off of its own accord.
So, first order of business... I had a lot of homework this week. Not like that's really unpredictable or anything though, seeing as the same thing happens every week. Sigh... Wait, there was one somewhat different
