A Little Walk In Time...

Well, go back about 6 years, now... back to a time known as 2005. I was in Florida, at Disney World, in a lego store in Downtown Disney. I find a Toa Iruini/Norik two-pack there for surprisingly cheap - only $14! I had wanted Norik since I saw him but never found him in stores. I had bought Iruini ages ago though, and that put me off of buying this pack... So I instead bought the brand new Piraka (Thok and Zaktan) along with Piruk and Balta, and Kazi.   I have regretted that decision every day.

It's My Turn For A Bit Of A Rant

Well, I'm gonna' keep this short and civil. Stuff's been going down... again, with the MLP issue, and I'm running out of arguments.   "Ponies are girly" - so?   "you're all gay" - I'm not, but so?   "This is a bionicle site, talk about bionicle!" - what about the music, other lego themes, movies, TV shows, other less "gay" fandoms that you all enjoy? Oh-ho, 'tis okay because you like it. I despised Homestuck (and still do) but never have a flamed, hated, argued or provoked an argument over it.

This Week

Has been very eventful. I finished building my two new Trek models already (will post pics) and they are glorious, got in a carpload of mail, and got two replies for singer/drummer auditions in my band. Biggest of these though is that we have a new international student, from Germany this time. So far he seems like a really cool kid, and I think it'll be good having him around.   I got Takal hooked on Dream Theater, and he in turn got me to like Thin Lizzy.   That's about it... but for me, that'

Star Trek Is Awesome

Well, I've gotten a lot of stuff in the mail this week, including four Dream Theater albums, two Cassette tapes (Iron Maiden and Fates Warning), and 5 old Toa Mata masks.   Then yesterday, nothing. I'm waiting for a package of BIONICLE bits, but it's not showed up yet. However, my dad had gone on a trip to the states, and went to a hobby shop we go to everytime we're down in Spokane.   He brought me back a 1:2500 Enterprise C kit, and a 1:536 Romulan Bird of Prey kit. The Enterprise C I've alre

Thin Lizzy

Me and my good friend Takal decided to do a music swap - our two favourite bands. So he got all of Dream Theater's studio albums, ad I got all of Thin Lizzy's studio albums, and we're listening through eachother's favourite band.   I've currently listened to the following in full:   Thunder And Lightning Black Rose: A Rock Legend Vagabonds Of The Western World Nightlife Johnny The Fox Bad Reputation Jailbreak   So far I've liked all four albums, but the first is my favourite. it's on the cusp of

Lyrical Phrase Of The Day #3

"There's a time to live, and a time to die. There's a time to meet your maker.   There's a time to live, but isn't it strange, that as soon as you're born you're dyin'?"   Iron Maiden, The Clairvoyant

Ponies And Other Gunk

Firstly, watched the new MLP today during breakfast. I liked it - so nice to have some more Fluttershy. And holy carp Derpy spoke! Her voice wasn't what I imagined, but the whole sequence made me chuckle. Also nice to have Applejack in the spotlight again.   Secondly, I finished Inheritance. After all the whining I've heard about the ending, I really was pleasantly disappointed (I just made up a new emotion) to read that it really wasn't that bad. Sure there was a lot kinda' tacked on at the end

Lyrical Phrase Of The Day #2

"Octave: Step after step We try controlling our fate When we finally start living It's become too late."   -Dream Theater, Octavarium     This is ending up more like Lyrical Phrase Of The Month

Something I Noticed About Imaginaerum

As some of you know, I got Nightwish's new album Imaginaerum and have been listeneing to it fervently. However, while listening, I stumbled across some interesting things...   1. Take the song "I Want My Tears Back" - My favourite track, by the way, but skip to after the second chorus where the solo-y bit starts. Now open up Iron Maiden's "Dance of Death", and skip 'till there's roughly a minute or two left in the song where they sing "When you're lying in your sleep... 'till you're dancing with

Mercury

Is the coolest freakin' thing on the face of this planet. I found an old unbroken bulb with some of it... it provides endless entertainment WHILE INSIDE A GLASS BOTTLE.   I really want to crack the bulb and play with it, but that would obviously be a bad idea. :<

A Productive Week

Firstly you all know I got my diver's license, so I've been driving around and enjoying myself thoroughly, blasting Queensryche, Styx, and Bruc Dickinson. B)   Aside from that, I finally got my volunteer hours for grad done today, working at an NFP secondhand store, testing the electronics (VCRs, tape players, etc.) and pricing them with a friend.   Also went for a drive just now to walmart for fun, bought some reese's and Nightwish's "Imaginaerum". Listening to it, it's good, but I'll have to w

Passed My Driving Test!

So yeah, about a month after I was able to get it, I got my N. It basically means I can drive alone and with one non-related passenger - I can have as many members of my family as the car can hold.   FREEDOM   Also test was way easier than I expected... so glad I got driver training though.

Does Anyone Else Still Love Cassettes?

Yeah I just love the things... they're so retro and awesome... like vinyl, but cheaper!   I just bought No Exit by Fates Warning and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son by Iron Maiden off amazon, both for under $.25. A few of my friends think I'm crazy, but my car only plays cassettes and I want to have some great tunes to drive along to when I get my license on Thursday.   On a somewhat unrelated note (again), I've bought a ton of stuff this week with christmas money:   *Toa Norik *Tahnok Va *Kohrak

Family Appreciation Day

Watched it before bed last night, and it was okay. I found Granny Smith to be annoying though. Her personality was funny but her voice... ugh. >.< Liked the CMC being back again, however. They're so cute. Also the history of Ponyville was pretty sweet.   ***   On a completely unrelated note, I've just been getting into two new Progressive Metal bands called Fates Warning and Symphony X. It seems most have only heard of the latter, but from what I've heard Fates Warning owns their butts. B

I'm Feeling I Need A New Blog Theme

I've gotten a bit tired of this current one, and I goofed quite a bit with the nav box - I forgot the important tabs like BIONICLE and MOCs. Also it was made before ponies. There must be ponies.   So I figure if I'm going to fix it I may aswell do it all over... that said, any suggestions?

Do You Ever Go Back To See If Someone Replied To You?

So basically been wondering about this for a while, 'cause I've had a few instances where people ask me/request something, I answer, and never hear from them. Nothing accusatory here, just idle curiosity: do you ever go back and check blog entries/topics/profile comments to see if anyone has replied to something you said?   I do all the time when I remember.

Biogaia

Yes I know it's BioGio now, but I liked BioGaia better so I still call you that in my head.   Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks. Over the past year or so you've pretty much commented in every one of my MOC topics, and even quite a few of my art topics, and you -always- leave long, thoughtful reviews that actually help me out a lot.   So I just felt like I should thank you for your help and consistency, and for leaving better reviews than even most of my friends.

Boxing Day

Such a waste of potential sleep time. I'm fairly upset about it.   Went to the mall, and only walmart was open, with like 3 sales in the entire store on retarded useless stuff that nobody needs/wants like a foam floor mat. Also ponies are back up to $5 as usual. Yippee. Went downtown to find everything closed, then back to the mall (which had now opened) to find nothing.   Only good part of the day has been breakfast.
