While I was packing up my Bioncle sets to free up some furniture for moving, I got to thinking...where the heck has Takanuva been?
Things weren't going so well for Bionicle during the Bohrok/Kal stuff. I don't want to speak for everybody, but it felt like fans were growing tired of the repetitvness of the Bohrok. And though they were just as repetitive, the Rahkshi pics began to get people interested again. Not to mention the news of a new Toa.
Now, I'm an on and off PR fan. And one of
So I shut my computer down last night, and the next thing I know I start hearing little spits of static out of the speakers. Go to the Tower and the little light around the button (the one that's normally green when it's on) is blinking yellow at me. I pulled the plug and tried to plug it back in. Same thing happened.
Well, it's either the power supply or the motherboard. And I don't know yet if the data on the harddrive can be recovered. I don't think I've backed up anything important on
Like the title says, it's rare when you get a second chance. So don't do what I did tonight and make a fool out of yourself in front of a large number of strangers.
If you remember I attempted to enter a Guitar Hero Tournament last week, and missed qualifying for the Finals by a very slim margin. Well, I was told by the guy running it that if there was a no-show the following week it was possible I could get in.
Well, it happened. There were two no-shows. Ironically enough, the guy wh
Well, Creepy Girl and her ilk are now on TV. Though it's mostly been late night. I guess this Chemistry thing is "successful" enough to have gone from an eerie banner ad to a full-fledged TV advertised product. Or perhaps Creepy Girl was able to ascertain our locations and has instructed her leaders to broadcast to those TVs that belong to those she has identified. Be cautious, they are coming.
In lighter news (or not depending on your opinions of the newest film), they've already annouce
The Barakki continue to tempt me when I walk through the LEGO Aisle at various stores. I'm waiting for the Mahri to start trickling out so I can decide which canister sets are more worth picking up. Because with the way I go about collecting, I won't be able to just buy one Barakki. And I know that if I buy the Mahri I'm going to want to buy spares to make Puhi and Mahi Mahri.
Why can't it be July already? Or is it June? Whatever the case, the Mahri need to come out already.
You ever have one of those moments where you know exactly where you messed up and wished you could get a mulligan? I had a moment like that about an hour ago. Thankfully it didn't cost me anything but my own pride.
My dad took me out to eat Saturday night after we got back from moving my stuff out of the apartment. While there, I noticed a big banner advertising a Guitar Hero tournament every Tuesday. Down in Kato, my roomates and I got back into playing it. I had manged to become a mast
In my time on the Internet, I've come to accept that dynamically generated banner ads that come up on each page. But lately, there's been one that's shaken me to my very foundation.
I'm speaking of a specific ad for something called "Chemistry." Now, I always thought these dynamically generated ads came based on the various content of the page their loading on (and I will most likely summon forth another one just by mentioning it in this post. Perhaps it was the mix of Video Game and Bionic
It's Mother's Day once again. Remember to take today off from your normal routine to go do something she enjoys. Movie, lunch, come up with something.
Me? Well, I'm going to have to make due with a phone call. My mom's up in Colorado, so it'd be a bit of a toughie to do anything else. And hopefully you don't require a specific day to be put away in order to let your moms know how much you appreciate what they've done for you.
T-Hybrid is busy finishing up his last day at work, as well as packing up for his move tomorrow. As such, he has requested his guest writer fill in...
I have to say, I've never seen Big T this excited. He came floatin' in to the Haven today, and I mean that literally! His final four hours at the internship finish up today, followed by an afternoon of packin up his things and then by noon tomorrow he's going to be heading back home.
Personally, I was disappointed that he didn't wanna wal
Four years and some thousands of dollars late...and I have slain the beast know as College. All that's left now is to actually be handed my diploma and I will become not a student, but an alumni.
With this class change comes the responsibilities of a true adult. I must set off in the world with only my wits and my skills to make my own way. Will I rise to the occasion or sink like a stone under the weight of the world?
Stay tuned and find out.
...
Okay, I'm only kidding about that
Finals Week this week. Tests Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...all in the morning, all finishing before noon. Thankfully it's only one a day, but it pretty much means that I didn't get to enjoy my weekend at all beyond the bit of Pokemon I played (I now have Alakazam, Golem, Machamp...and Crobat).
Celebrated by grabbing a few news games, including LEGO Star Wars. I have to admit it's a bit of guilty fun running around as a Minifig version of Darth Maul. Unfortunately the TV I've got my Wii hook
Getting an early jump on the weekend tonight by going to the Spiderman 3 midnight showing (12:05 technically). Only the third midnight release I've gone to (Matrix Revolutions and Goblet of Fire being the previous two). I plan on checking out Pirates 3 when it comes out at the end of May too.
Pokemon's been on the back burner lately, 40 hours in the first week...and only about an hour and a half since. Projects all over the place with finals right around the corner. But I have a feeling W
40 hrs, 2 badges, 73 seen, 44 caught...
I say that, because I've only had the game for a week. Holy cow eh? But that's not the topic of today's entry. Today we're talking about graduation, round 2.
Today marks the beginning of the final week of classes. After Friday all focus will be on my three finals, which almost appropriately enough scale up in difficulty. One a day starting Monday and finishing Wednesday. What does this all mean? Well, as of noon on Wednesday May 9th I will no
Pokemon Diamond came out Sunday. It's now Friday and I've already put around 30 hours into the game. To put things in perspective, I work only 20 hours a week. And I'm only just now about to challenge the third gym leader.
I've been spending time in the Underground getting fossils, spheres, and decking out the secret base that nobody will probably see (nobody I know is getting Diamond or Peal so odds are I'm never getting Spiritomb legitimately). I've also entered contests (already won Cu
It's probably a good thing right now that I've got Pokemon to get my mind off of the impending doom that has seemed to slowly grow over the last few months. And I suppose I had it coming, after I got my confidence up after a nearly perfect first half of the school year.
It started with two courses with professors that are absolutely terrible. Three weeks away from finals and we get our first test (and in the case of both classes the first actual form of grading we had recieved the whole tim
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl launch today, comparred to the usual Tuesday/Wednesday game launch. Haven't gotten to GameStop to grab my copy yet, but when I do you can bet I'll get my Friend Code up ASAP.
I'm picking up Diamond, because Dialga pretty much wastes Pairuka. Will probably choose the Penguin starter, not because I'm not a fan of water-types, but because Penguins are just so durn cute. And he develops into an Ice Type, which are always handy against the Elite Four.
Can't wait to
If you saw KIE's most recent entry, you already know that the MLB All-Star Vote is upon us once again. This is the time of the year when MLB fans around the world (voting is open in Japan as well) gather round their computers and major league parks and vote for the 9 (or in this case 8) players they want to see in the opening lineup of the Mid-Summer Classic.
KIE and I have already exchanged votes, him voting for Joe Mauer and Nick Punto of the Twins and me voting for Craig Biggio of the Hou
Unless you've been under a rock the last few days, you know the story of the week...and probably the year right now. I'm not going into details because of the nature of this forum, but needless to say it's a tragedy the likes of which you don't want to see ever happen.
But almost as tragic as the event itself was the kneejerk reaction of the media as a whole. Rather than report on the events with the facts provided, they decided to start playing the blame game. Was it the school's fault?
In all this news of the new Titans, Mahri, and Barakki...one question is still going unanswered (at least the last time I checked it was). Are we getting a Titan combiner this year? It's going to be hard to top Kardas, which really was a huge achievement for set design, though I would've appreciated getting instructions for the individual sets as well. But LEGO should at least make sure not to skimp on the combiners.
It was the combiner models that got me into Bionicle in the first place, a
What started off as a throwaway comment almost lead to me getting elected to a school office yesterday. And with almost little effort on my part. Yesterday's key election issue was the decision a to whether or not students would allow the school to increase Student Fees to allow for the construction of a series of improved athletic facilities. When I logged in to vote, I noticed that one posistion (Communications Board) was being put up for vote with out any official candidate. The only choi
The Twins got absolutely stomped by the Yankees today. And of all the times to have it happen, it was while the game was being broadcast on ESPN. *shudders* So I was left with nothing to do except watch 24 and write up this blog entry.
Saw Super Paper Mario at the Target here in Kato, but passed on picking it up because my reserved copy at Gamestop arrives tomorrow. Though recent developements have left me questioning my loyalties to the store. At first it was getting the occasional call
My car turned 100,000 on the drive home from campus. It's an '86 Acura Integra that my grandparents gave me when I got my license. It's starting to show it's age a bit, but hopefully it can last a few years while I put some money together for a new car.
When that happens? I'll probably pass the old girl on to my sister. Until then, she needs new brakes and a new antenna. But aside from that everything else in the car is still good.
Happy Easter weekend everybody!
First off, hope you enjoyed the pallette swap. I had such a blast putting it together that I may just pop back and forth between the two from time to time. I've archived the images for anybody who may have missed it. So fear not, the Haven is still rightfully in my possession, and ViceGreymon is still gainfully employed!
But that's not what today's entry is about. Oh no siree. Today we're gonna talk baseball! The Twins are now two games in to their 162 game schedule. Thanks to my "prov
Okay, I've seen some pretty heated posts regarding the closure (and removal) of LGD and COT. And seriously, some people really need to calm down before they get themselves in trouble.
When I first read the post regarding the removal, I figured it was an elaborate joke. I know the staff is working hard on trying to keep those Board Messages from popping up, but of all days to annouce something like the removal of two forums April 1st just didn't seem like the right time.
But now the forum
T-Hybrid is busy today finalizing the paper work that will sign over the Haven to its new owners. In his absence, he has requested his new guest writer fill in.
Good day to you ladies and gentlemen of BZPower. My name is RhodoKnightmon, and I have been asked by Mr. Hybrid to serve as protector of the Rose Garden while he is away on business. As such, it will be my duty to submit entires when he is unable to do so himself.
Yesterday's annoucement must have come as a bit of a shock to tho
