Forgot to post this notice earlier, but here it is for all to see:
In this chapter, Makuta Hajax attempts to kill the Matoran Kavi, but is stopped by a now-conscious Oggak, who challenges Hajax to a fight after refusing his offer to make an alliance. Who will win and who will die?
Only four more chapters and the epilogue to go. The end is nearly here . . .

. . . spent nearly two hours taking notes on a subject you are sure will be important for your story (or essay or report or whatever you may be writing), only to learn that this subject is barely brought up in-story or else is focused on even less than you originally believed?
I bring this up because it has recently happened to me while working on Dimension Hoppers. Minor spoilers - the main characters are on a ship and, me lacking knowledge of ships, did a little research in order to know wh
Since everyone is doing it (and following what everyone does is always right and smart and logical, of course), you can all ask me anything you want, as long as it is not against BZP's rules. Plus I wanted to make a blog entry that was unrelated to my fanfiction for once.

Shoot me if I didn't post a blog entry between this update and the last. Not my problem.
In this chapter, Nastan and Death are still fighting Icetraz, when Raider decides to finally act. But when he notices the Tuikas flying high above, he decides to finish them instead. Will he slay the Tuikas or only end up making things worse? Find out in Chapter 21: Target Locked!

Also, on a completely unrelated note, please read and vote in this poll. I will be very happy if you do.

Posted the 20th chapter of An Unlikely Alliance today. That means there are only ten chapters left. Getting closer and closer to the ending of the Shika Trilogy, it looks like.
In this chapter, Hajax, having been defeated and knocked unconscious earlier by Oggak, awakens in the jail cells of Koro Nui only to discover that he is bound in heavy metal chains. He also finds that Turaga Joha, the Toa Shika, Oggak, Jokao, and the Dark Hunter Kigin have all gathered down here to determine whether he
After a bit of editing and proofreading from two great people, I have finally posted my entry for the Sleeping Awake contest, A Change In Plans.
Don't care if you don't read it or not. As long as the judges approve of it, I'm okay.

Posted Chapter 18 of An Unlikely Alliance today. Go read it .
In this chapter, Makuta Hajax is still attempting to learn the secrets of the Tuikas, but has had no time to interrogate Oggak about it during the week. However, when the Toa of Shadow comes to him to confess something to him, Hajax may end up learning what he needs to know after all. And it may be nothing like he expected it to be.

Recently, I have bought (in no particular order):
-Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Quite a good game so far. I'm on Day 290 or something like that, but I'd definitely say it's a pretty decent game.
-BIONICLE: The Game (for the Gamecube). I'd say it's a so bad it's good game in some parts (especially the final cutscene) and Nintendo Hard in others (the Tahu Nuva level right before the boss battle against Makuta comes to mind). It's got nothing on Days, but since I only bought it for $5 I suppose
Okay, I am writing a short story for the 2010 Library Summer Olympics, even though I didn't think I'd make the deadline. Guess the fact that the deadline was extended a week gave me the inspiration to write a story. Now all I have to do is actually finish and post it within the next six days or so.
It's based on my first epic, The Tales of Shika Nui, expanding on the battle between Makuta Koghi and the Dark Hunter known as Icetraz that was briefly mentioned but never actually shown in the epi
Sorry I didn't get chapter 14 up yesterday. BZP simply didn't want to work for me for most of yesterday, so I was forced to wait until today to post it. At least I got it up, anyway.
In this chapter, Akuna, Nastan, and Chimoy hold a private little funeral for Addis and Nonzra. Nastan then blames Oggak and the Dark Hunters for the deaths of their two friends, which causes an argument among the three Toa that causes Nastan to nearly hurt Akuna in his anger. Fortunately, Chimoy stops him and Nas
Yesterday my brothers and I watched Toy Story 3 (in 2D, by the way).
Very, very good movie. Humor was great, plot was nice, and the characters actually got some decent development. I think TS3 is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, since I have no major criticisms with it like I do with other movies I've watched recently. It was a fun movie to watch and I definitely think I'll be buying it once it comes out on DVD.
After that, we went to Wal-Mart, where I bought Skrall Stars a
I just ordered BIONICLE graphic novels #2-#9 off of Amazon a few minutes ago, plus the last Percy Jackson book. I may not need all of them, but if buying these graphic novels will help to convince Papercutz to make #10 then I'm all for buying graphic novels.
The only ones I didn't buy were #1 and #6, since I already had those. Okay, technically I did order #1, since I bought the box set that had #1-#4, but whatever. I'll just keep the second copy to sell later on or something.
Also, I orde
A few days ago I finished the second draft of Dimension Hoppers, which was around 56,000 words or something like that and less than 100 pages long according to Mircosoft Word. It was an interesting challenge, writing a story with two first person narrators, but don't expect me to post it any time soon. This draft was mostly practice so I could get used to the different personalities of the two main characters, Isarot and Kiriah, and as a result has a lot of errors that I didn't bother to correct
Yesterday I got the Rahkshi Stars set from Wal-Mart (which is where I've gotten all of my Stars sets from so far, oddly enough).
It's a cool-looking set and really does remind me of the original Rahkshi sets, but I find it very hard to play with and pose because of its staff. It's articulation is a bit too limited, IMO, which is unfortunate since I like articulation in my BIONICLE sets. Thus, I wouldn't call it my favorite Stars set, but it is definitely not the worst of the bunch.
Now all
Since I haven't updated this blog since Monday, I've decided to write a brief review (and nonspoilerific) of the Iron Man movie franchise as a whole, just to see if this blog is still alive.
So what word would I use to describe the Iron Man movies as a whole?
Awesome. Completely, totally awesome.
The fight scenes and specifal effects are really awesome, the story and characters are generally well-written, and the movies are just fun to watch. I liked most of the actors chosen to play th
Yesteday my brothers and I went to GameStop and bought a used Wii, as well as a copy of the New Super Mario Bros. Wii so we'd have a non-Game Cube game to play on it.
Really pleased with both the Wii, which works well despite having been used already, and NSMBW, which is an awesome game, even though the Wii controls are sometimes tricky. Very much a worthwhile game IMO. It's just like the original Mario games but even better. In fact, my youngest brother is playing it as I type this.
Also,
If I do, it would have a completely sarcastic, condescending attitude towards people who post blog entries with sarcastic, condesending attitudes and my popularity - if I have any at all - would drop below %0 and everyone would think of me as the most unlikeable person on the website.
So I won't. There.

. . . could put Gurren Lagann, Death Note, Pokémon, Transformers, and SD Gundam together in one dream and make it awesome, though completely illogical in just about every definition of the word.
So yeah, I just had a dream last night about all five of the above mentioned franchises mashed together. To be frank, however, I don't feel like recounting the entire dream here, since it would take a while for me to write down everything that happened in it. So let's just say that I can't understand
Ugh, I just spent the last hour working on an extremely frustrating short story and had to delete almost all of it because I wasn't satisfied with it. Now I only have a couple of paragraphs or so left of what I think is good in place of at least two days' worth of material. This is what I call a bad writing day, which is something I rarely experience, which is part of the reason it is so dang frustrating to me. Argh!
On the other hand, bad writing days are usually just that - bad writing days
Hi there, my fellow BZPers and bloggers.
As you all probably know by now, I've been working hard on finishing editing of the third and last epic in the Shika Trilogy, An Unlikely Alliance. I have said I wouldn't post it until I'm done with it and I nearly am (only about 40 or so pages to go).
However, I am wondering if I should begin posting it while I am still editing. Essentially, while I would not be finished editing it yet I would post chapters anyway. This idea could work, I think, be
Okay, you know how I said, a few entries ago, that my future, yet-to-be-written epic Dimension Hoppers was only going to have one main character?
Well, I've decided Isarot, the protagonist of DiH, is not going to be the only main character. Instead, he shall be accompanied by Toa Kiriah, a Toa of Psionics and a good friend of his. Both of them will be working together to retrieve what has been stolen from their peoples and the story shall take place from both of their POVs.
The part about
So I posted my entry for the newest S&T contest earlier yesterday and it was approved by three or four judges XD.
If anyone wants to read it, you can check out my library, the link in my sig, or the "General Short Stories" content block below. But if you're too lazy (XD) to do any of that, then here's a link: False Hopes. It's pretty short compared to some of my other works, but I think that the length fits it well IMO.
