Covering over 200 square inches of space with its front, the Baranus V7’s was the largest Bionicle box on the shelf at my local Target (Thornatus and Skopio being unavailable at the time). If the box’s size doesn’t grab your attention, then its excellent box art will. Sahmad rides, weapons at

In shape, the Glatorian Legends' canisters are almost identical to the winter Glatorian's, the exception being the lid, which is shaped to suggest an arena (older fans may notice its similarity to the Visorak canister lids). Gelu looks down imp
There's been a change of plans, everyone. I've decided not to renew my BZP Premier Membership. In recent times my interest has shifted toward other things. This is a regular occurrence, so fear not - I will likely return someday. Until then, however, goodbye...
Something I didn't mention in my last entry: my blog got no comments during my absence. Maybe one day I'll get comments on something other than grammatical errors.
Anyway, in celebration of the return of my Internet, I collected various images of the Hunters and made wallpapers for each one (excluding Samus):
Kanden
Noxus
Spire
Sylux
Trace
Weavel
If anyone wants, I can resize any of them to your screen's resolution, or create new ones for any Metroid theme of your choosing.
I think I'm going to go ahead and get another year of BZP Premier Membership. If nothing else, it's a way to show my appreciation for the services BZP has provided for the community over Bionicle's duration.
We got our Christmas tree earlier tonight. Somewhere between 7 and 8 feet tall, we found it on sale for just $45. I'll get photos up later if I can.

Tonight's Christmas-y event was gingerbread houses. I think mine came out pretty well, but I'll let you decide for yourself:
In other news, as you can see by the recently updated list below, Christmas shopping is nearly complete. In order to stay with budget, I decided to give my gingerbread house to my aunt and uncle.
That's about it for now, so until next time!
Christmas is now in full swing at my house. The oven has been churning out sweets of all kinds, and the tree has been decorated. Gingerbread houses are almost ready for construction, and I desperately need to finish up Christmas shopping. Here's the list again... Mother: | Item: pickup of hated furniture | Cost: freee!

After some encouragement and guidance, I have created these characters for the BZPRPG. Before I made them official, I wanted to post them here to see what people thought of them and possibly improve them. To that end, if you see a flaw in either profile, or a point that could be improved upon, or just like the characters, post it here.

I'm putting a temporary hold on the MOC depicted in the WIP photos below so I can cobble together an entry for Kylus' ORGANIZED Blog Contest #1, which entails building a Toa of Psionics. So far I haven't had any really brilliant ideas, but I have pulled out all of my pearl gold pieces (I know Kylus says we can use Keetorange, but I'll be darned if I'm taking the easy way out).
Merry Christmas!
As expected, my gift count was way down this year. However, in light of my laptop (half the reason the count was low), that's 100% okay. For those who are wondering, here's the actual list: Laptop bag $25 Barnes & Noble gift card Stocking candy (of course) Any 20 pieces from my brother's Bionicle collection $5 We had breakfast (bacon, pancakes, and eggs mixed with sausage) here, then went over to my grandmother's house around 11 for an early lunch. Since Ding and my grand

This morning, I had what might be referrred to as an unsettling experience. First, some background information:
As you know, my mom works as a teacher. Over winter break, the school secretary asked my mom to babysit her dogs. My mom accepted. We still have the dogs - they haven't been picked up yet. The dogs are chihuahuas, and there are six of them: Two adults and
I haven't made an entry in a few days because we haven't had Internet. You see, my mom bought Christmas presents a little early this year. That coupled with a leak that jumped our water bill up to $600 meant we couldn't pay the bill on time. Hence, no Internet for three days.
But now I'm back, so I'll give a general update.
First, winter break! It'll be nice. I'm looking forward to spending time with family and relaxing with my laptop.
School, over though it may be for now, has been pre
I am currently facing a dilemma. I became a one-year Premier Member on BZP in early January of this year. That means my membership is almost used up. The dilemma I face is whether to continue being a Premier Member and keep up with this blog. This is all tied into the greater question of what to do with myself in terms of Bionicle and Lego. You see, unlike many here, I was not a big Lego fan prior to my interest obsession with Bionicle. The end of the Bionicle line has presented me with the diff
