Here are some BIONICLE-relate things that I want to get now that I don't have to worry about new sets constantly being released:
-All of the graphic novels that I am missing
-Half of the Stars
-Axalara T9
-Toa Matau Metru
-Jaller & Gukko
-Tahnok-Kal or Lehvak-Kal (just because I never got one of the Kal and I want to own at least one)
-Get a Bohrok Va, preferably Tahnok Va or Lehvak Va (same reason as the Kal above)
Most of these are sets that I've missed in the past nine years t
Let me just say that I do not think that LEGO "ruined" my childhood or my life by cancelling the line (or at least the sets, anyway). True, BIONICLE has played a large part in my life, but just because its gone doesn't mean LEGO is evil or cruel or sadistic, as many people seem to be implying (and in some cases, outright saying) in the talkback thread for the announcement.
I will miss BIONICLE. I will. BIONICLE is, without a doubt, my favorite toyline ever, and has remained my favorite even t
I did it! I finished NaNoWriMo a few minutes ago, reaching 51k as of tonight. Yay and stuff .
However, the story itself is far from finished and I will likely be working on it well into December, which means I won't be working on AUA for a while longer. Personally I felt that NaNoWriMo was a fresh change from having to work on my fanfics, though I eagerly look forward to getting back to working with the Toa Shika and related characters again .

I posted the final chapter of Tapestry of Evil today, titled "Chapter 23: A Destint Fufilled; a Life Lost."
In this chapter, the Toa Shika and Shodios have their final confrontation at The Door to the Light itself. If the Toa Shika win, then they will leave Wyoko behind forever and lock the evil Shodios away for eternity, where they will never be able to hurt anyone ever again. But if the Shodios win, then the universe itself may fall to the might of their armies.
This is the final battle
Posted Chapter 22: Going Down the River of Shadow today.
In this chapter, the Toa Shika, on their way to The Door, are attacked by a giant squid and have to fight for their lives or else get dragged down into the endless darkness of the river of shadows. Meanwhile, the remaining Shodios, several Kra-Matoran, and Turaga Krashadi himself await at the Forest of Shadow, which is at the foot of The Door to the Light. Here they plan to ambush the Toa Shika and get rid of them once and for all.

After calling up LEGO, I am now getting my subscription of the LEGO Club Magazine back, which means I will be getting the BIONICLE comics again. Yay!
Yeah, kind of pointless to say, since I sincerely doubt that anyone cares, but I wanted to blog about something today, so there .

So Toaraga lives in Texas, and he found the Piraka and Rahkshi Stars sets in a Toys 'R' Us in Texas.
I also live in Texas (though not near any Toys 'R' Uses). Which means that next time I go to Wal-Mart, I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for any of the Stars (particularly Tahu or Takanuva).
Of course, if Wal-Mart doesn't have the Stars yet - which is a distinct possibility, seeing as the Wal-Marts around me don't usually get their shipment of new BIONICLE sets in until a few months or so af
Just posted Chapter 21: The River of Shadow today. With that, we only have two more chapters and the epilogue to go before the grand finale of Tapestry of Evil (which, coincidentally, will be on the first of December, which I find to be slightly interesting)!
In this chapter, the Shodios return to Castle Kra to inform Turaga Krashadi of the recent deaths of Teivel and Jiki and to plan their next action, while the Toa Shika discover an old, abandoned boat on a river of shadow that Addis thinks
As the title suggests, I have two conflicting impulses regarding my fanfiction that just won't settle their differences and become friends:
On one hand, whenever I post a new fanfic I almost always crave reviews. Good reviews, bad reviews, constructive criticism . . . whatever anyone has to offer. So I advertize it in my sig, in my blog, doing whatever I can to make sure that everyone and their dog knows about it. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I do expect people to read my stuff
Chapter 20: Wanderer's Mission was posted today in Tapestry of Evil. Go and read it.
Okay. Fine. I'll give you a summery if you want:
In this chapter, after escaping the eruption mountain, Nastan decides that now would be the perfect moment to attempt to kill Barilo, but is stopped by Wanderer, who somehow ends up in his mind as a result. And it is here that she discovers exactly what her mission is in Wyoko and what she needs to do to accomplish it.
Now will you go read it? Pretty plea
My NaNoWriMo word count for today is 3,421 words. For those who are interested, that's the entire first chapter and the title of the second chapter, so I'm making progress, which is always a good thing for NaNoWriMo.
Anyone else have any NaNo word count updates? Not that I am trying to compare myself to anybody, but I'm interested in seeing how others have progressed on the first day.

Tomorrow is not only the first day of November, but is also the beginning of National Novel Writing Month! I've been looking forward to this ever since September, really, though I still feel unprepared for some reason despite my 127 pages of world building notes, character bios, etc. that I have saved on my computer. Maybe that's just pre-NaNo nerves or something *shurg*.
Anyway, I'm thinking of updating my blog every day next month with my current word count, right up until I reach 50k, mayb
My epic, Tapestry of Evil, has 1001 views (at last )! Yay!
True, perhaps that isn't as good or as fun or exciting as having 1001 posts, but that at least shows that people are reading and (hopefully) enjoying it.
On the flipside, Honor versus Greed has zero replies and only 30 views. Wah. Oh well. Short stories generally don't get a lot of replies or views anyway, so I'm not that upset, though I wouldn't mind it if someone decided to review HvG (pretty please?).
Also, it's only about t
Hey, guys! Chpater 19: Into the Core of the Mountain was posted today for you reading pleasure .
In this chapter, the Toa Shika, Wanderer, and the (still bound) Nastan are traveling in a secret tunnel that leads directly into the core of a mountain in order to escape the Shodios, whilst Teivel and his group of Kra-Matoran have found the tunnel, too, and are currenly traveling it not too far behind the Toa Shika themselves. The Toa Shika then discover that the mountain they are in isn't any o
Hey, guys. I just posted the latest episode in the Glatorian Chronicle series of short stories, called Honor Versus Greed. This one stars Strakk and is from his POV during and after the events of TLR. Here's the link: GC#5.
Go and read it or I'll sic Spiky the Spikit on you !

To most people, the name "Sony" brings to mind an electronics company that develops video game systems, televisions, cameras, etc. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a simple electronics company that wants to make a (mostly) honest profit to pay their workers and employees.
HOWEVER, to the well-informed mind, the name "Sony" is also an anagram for Super Octopuses of New York.
What does this startling revelation mean? No idea. But it obviously means something suspicious and dangerous and I ur
Write a short story, make it seem interesting and slightly confusing, and then end it with a twist ending that makes little sense (bonus points if its in first person!). Then people will start posting just to ask what it all means or what really happened. Did it with my own short story, "Paranoia," (link in one of my content blocks) and it got the most replies of any of my short stories ever because of it.
I've only ever tried this with short stories, as I doubt it would work as effectively i
F-Zero GX is both my favorite game and my least favorite game at the same time.
On one hand, the courses are incredibly cool and beautiful-looking, sometimes even awe-inspiring. I like how you can make your own ship (which I have taken advantage of). Some of the story mode missions, while insanely hard, can be a little fun. It also has some really cool music in some levels (particularly in Chapter 4).
Also, space flying FTW!
But on the other hand, sometimes it's too hard. Anyone who's p
Chapter 18: Spirit Wanderer has been posted today. Read on for a brief summary of events:
In this chapter, the Toa Shika are finally reunited once again and need an escape route, as the Shodios are still searching the Nui Mountains for them. Fortunately, a mysterious ghost who calls herself Spirit Wanderer appears and shows them a secret tunnel passge she discovered hidden by a sheet of ice, which Addis quickly melts. The Toa Shika allow her to come with them and soon the party heads into the
I meant to post this last night, but the server was being stupid and wasn't letting me get on. But today everything is working as usual, so whatever.
Anyway, time to give my readers a few updates on some yet-to-be-published fanfics:
Glatorian Chronicles #5: Honor versus Greed is done. All I need to do is some editing and giving one character better motives for doing what she did and then I'll post it, though when I don't know. Let me tell you all that this short story will focus on Strakk
One day, it's extremely hot and super dry in the low 100s. And then the next, without warning, is completely perfect weather in the low 60s to mid 70s, with perhaps an occasional rain shower to help wetten things up a bit. And then after that we get super cold weather that makes you wish it was the in the 100s again, despite however much you may have been cursing the hot weather in the last few months.
That's the best way I can describe Texas weather. Snow? What's snow? We don't get that down
Now this is just a crazy idea my brothers and I thought up last night, which is the time of day when we're usually quite hyper and generally think up crazy awesome things, so you may or may not wish to take this seriously.
So anyway, summary of The Hat's Crew:
The Hat, leader of the mafia gang of the island of Sodor, has assembled a crack team of the best tank engines and diseasls he could find. Their mission: To bring the legendary "Space Orbs" to him, objects of great power that would gr
It was today, the 13th of October 2006, that I joined BZPower, after browsing its forums for a few years prior. Now I have a Great Huna spinny mask thing to show how long I have been here . Yay and stuff!
Also (this was totally coincidental and I didn't plan it. Honest ) the seventeenth chapter of my epic, Tapestry of Evil, has been posted today, which is titled The Hunt Begins.
In this chapter, Addis, Chimoy, and Nastan attempt to find the other three Toa, Barilo, Akuna, and Nonzra, who
