There is just waaaay too much information about Doctor Who Series 6 floating around right now.
Haha, just kidding. That can't happen.
(Actually, we definitely don't want the opening two-parter spoiled.)
All you need to know to jump into a Doctor Who episode:

It's always nice being able to swap music with a friend, because it's a win-win situation for both parties involved!
Just recently I added probably almost 2 gigs worth of Christian music to my computer, thanks to a friend.
Among those additions, I have recently been excessively enjoying Falling Up, David Crowder Band (especially Church Music), Newsboys' Houston We Are Go, a few Abandon Kansas songs, and some more Matt Maher (especially Alive Again (song and CD)).
Now if only Relient K w
April Fools' Day, 2011.
I froze my roommate's ID in a cup of water (which turned into ice. Science!).
Then I froze that in a tupperware second layer.
Then, after he didn't call the room to be let back in all night, I froze it in a third layer the next morning.
He finally came back, over 24 hours after starting this entire thing. He was not amused. (But we were!)
More pix.

Edit: Beardliness: 8 weeks!
The only good thing about having rain is getting the opportunity to wear my sturdy hiking boots out and about (and with Philmont and Boy Scout brands, no less!). My feet can withstand anything!
(The second good thing, heh, is the pollen-count lowering.)

Say what?
This is verymuch from at least the Steampunk convention that was taking place in the same hotel as Bricks by the Bay. And it's shown up elsewhere. Jealous! (And great idea!) (Pic from the internet, found and linked from flickr.)

Easy to ask my roommate to borrow his car. Easy to feel the bags. Easy to successfully guess each fig I wanted that was in the bags:
Bonus pic!
I also wanted a garden gnome, but there were none left. That's ok though, because I didn't really need him. I'm just glad LEGO finally made a garden gnome minifig. So I got a second HAZMAT guy instead, because they're really easy to feel.
And I guess the others are easy to feel too. Geisha had the slope brick, Musketeer had the hat, surfer had the
Would anywhere from 9-12 people be interested in putting together pieces for a second BZP Mosaic for BrickFair 2011, since the first one is filled up?
Post here (or Nukaya's blog), and if we gather enough interest we'll continue work on a second image.

I have the entire apartment to myself.
Naked time!
One roommate is at home. Another is doing some sort of on-campus science conference. The other doesn't come around too often. (And the honorary roommate is at home.)
My friend and I plan on watching Children of Men (There are some sci-fi movies I should have seen long ago...) and then the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special because she just caught up. (I was able to convince her to put down Merlin for a while so she could be all caught up be
And I have most of the work done:
Modularity for transportation!
Next up: Clean up the underside, greeble the top, add on a nose (ie. add on 8 more studs to make 102, a stud longer than xccj's SHIP/Submarine), fix up the engines, and work on some tiny design flaws (mostly from lack of pieces).

March 22 was my roommate's birthday, and he's a big Trekkie.* Normally for my roommates' birthdays I just bake a standard cake and add some frosting and sprinkles on top. But considering my mom has made fantastic and creative cakes for my 21 years alive, not to mention for the rest of my family, I decided to get a little creative and make something he wouldn't forget:
And here's his reaction, and another, and a nice smile. (Sorry, ladies, he's engaged. )

Product placement can seem pretty obvious in some TV shows (like the Milk Duds in The Big Bang Theory), but last night's Chuck made it acceptable, as an art.
Chuck has a long history with Subway (being their #1 sponsor, so much so that when the show was in danger of cancellation fans showed their support by eating at Subway frequently. I know I would have if I had been a fan back then), so it's no surprise to see it appear in obvious places here and there. But last night, with Big Mike (BM) d
See what I did there?
I've loved the Alien Conquest theme ever since the pictures were out. Like an alien B-movie, LEGO style. If I had money I might even pick up each one (ok, not really, but that mothership is cool).
Here's what I'm thinking:
The $10* set is cool. Blue human defender fig (that helmet!), new guns, older newer guns, and looks like a good amount of pieces for my buck.
I was all set for buying the $5 set as well and calling it a day, for another human defender fig and alie
Spoiler alert: The counter-argument to this post is "It's just a story."
In the latest LEGO Mag's Hero Factory comic, the upgrade process is described as "too dangerous to use again" in reference to Evo and Nex. It is then said, "Upgrade. So powerful a process even the bravest heroes feel fear at its name." Excuse me, but they're robots. They don't get "upgraded" in magic tubes. They get ripped apart for scrap, rebuilt differently with new and improved armor and mechanics and reprogrammed wit
Off to a free Carbon Leaf concert! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Edit: It was really fun. I went with a few friends, and the music was good. We got there are few minutes late (technically half an hour early but they started early) in the middle of Shine. We heard some favorites like Big Strong Man, The Boxer, Toy Soldiers, and they concluded with Mary Mac.

(I know they didn't write Mary Mac. It's just one of my favorites of theirs. Also Shine and Big Strong Man.)
I come back to my room this evening and what do I find? My desk chair in the living room. Big deal (though I suspect something is up).
I walk into my room and what do I find?
If you can't tell, there isn't a mattress under there.
(Sorry for the blurry pic.)
Also, look down now up. A slipper is missing.
All be told, everything is back to normal now, but my roommate's message relayed to me is that it was to "keep me on my toes."
I was about to hide his mattress (he's off working all
