I've started watching TLR. I really don't have a large enough time block to watch it in one sitting. Sunday would be my best bet but football is on then. I'll probably finish watching it after I get home later tonight.
I'm also sad right now, I went to Target earlier today and the Advent Calender was out of stock. Judging from the online availability list I'm wondering if it will ever be in stock again. Of the ten or so stores listed online only two had it, in limited availability. Nei
My mom picked up The Legend Reborn from the Library earlier tonight. Now I'll finally be able to watch it. The only trouble is I'm not sure when I'll have time.
I am extremely busy this week. My troop is having a camping trip this weekend so that's pretty much out. My mom also picked up Follow Me Boys so I have to watch that too.
I'm thinking about making a comic. I have the first panel almost finished although the most important part isn't finished. I also have to get some stuff before I can get past the first episode.
Time constraints will also be a big factor in this. I don't have a lot of time available for the rest of this month. Next weekend I'm going to be camping so most of it's not available.
I still need a name, no releasing a comic with out a name. If you have a suggestion post it and I might use
Last night was my final behind the wheel training. I think it went pretty good. When I did parallel I almost did it perfectly. I did it perfectly the first time but the second time I hit the curb, which isn't great but it's still better then hitting another car. I'm going to have to go do some more driving. I'll probably go geocaching sometime this weekend over by where the test will be at.
The test will be next Thursday morning. Less than one week away.
... or at least not permanent changes.
I think I'm going to stick with Mysterious Minifig as my BZPower display name. I how it sounds and it's reasonably unique.
I'm still working on consistently putting my sign-off in my posts with out editing though.
Here is one of the songs I'm playing right now on the piano.
Prelude in C minor by Fredric Chopin.
I find it pretty fun to play. It was difficult when I started learning it because most of the chords are an octave.
I got a hair cut today, actually it was a buzz cut. It's almost the same thing.
Now my drivers license picture should turn out decent. My permit picture looks terrible since my hair looks bad.
I'm also trying out a new signoff. I my try to shrink it down at some point but right now it's what I'm using.
(13 days until my drivers test)
I got Mata Nui. It's the first Bionicle set I've bought since I think 2006. I also the first LEGO set I've bought a while too.
I like it, it's also fun to bounce the Thornax on my desk and watch it jump all over the place. =P
Target has the Advent Calender $5 off until the 25th of November so I'm probably going to get that later this month. I think I'm going to do a post every day on it. It may be just a post reviewing it or I might do something different. It will all depend on what
Is It That Time Already?
First off, congratulations to Hahli Husky, SPIRIT, and InnerRayg who were promoted. Congratulations to Turaga Dlakii and Arpy for being promoted to the staff and thanks to Toaraga and munkeymunkey for their service as members of the staff.
It feels weird now though. I've only been really active for the last year or so. I never saw most of the current staff as regular or OBZPC members. Everyone until now has pretty much been on staff since I joined. I can remem
I'm back from my camping trip. It went better then I expected, mainly because the weather turned out okay.
We got up there last night and got the tents out. By that time the rain had pretty much let up. It was still sprinkling but it wasn't the downpour I was expecting. We did end up getting a fire started, ironically the hardest part was getting the firestarter to go, it was so windy that the matches we were using kept getting blown out.
For Breakfast my patrol had breakfast burritos.
I leaving for a camping trip later this afternoon. I'll be back Saturday night. Two reasons why it's not going to be full weekend like previous camping trips. Halloween is tomorrow night and there is a Eagle Court of honor on Sunday Afternoon.
We were planning on not bringing stoves and only cooking on fires, but it's been raining since Wednesday night so that probably won't work.
Black Six raised my proto earlier today for my News report. I'm now in the Premier Outstanding BZPower Citizens Group.
Thanks to Black Six for the Proto Raise.
I have a job again, the same place as my previous job. I have money now, but most of it is not free. I'm still working on getting enough money for the Boy Scout Jamboree. In couple months I'll probably have all the money I need.
I think I going to get the canister Mata Nui pretty soon. I saw it in Target on Sunday and it looks pretty good.
I starting to read Huck Finn this week for American Literature. I read it a couple years for fun and I enjoyed so I should enjoy it again this time. I'm older now so I'll be able to understand it better.
On a side note, I aced the test for my college algebra class that I took on back on Wednesday. B)
So now my room is finally clean. For the longest time stuff was just piling up, on the desk, on the shelf, and on the floor. All my previous attempts to clean met with failure because 50%-75% of the way through I lost my motivation and just quite.
This time it's different though. Everything is cleaned up now except my desk. That's because it's covered in LEGO that I'm using for my new MOC. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it this weekend, otherwise it may be a while because my schedule i
My last day of school for the week was today. No more classes until Monday.
I had a test today for my college algebra class. Hopefully the class as a whole does better on this test because the class average for the last test was about 55%.
I'm not sure what I'll do with my free time for this week. I have a MOC I'm working and I might get that finished. I'm also going to go geocaching this weekend, as long as the weather isn't terrible.
My brother had a birthday party today (his birthday was earlier this week). Our family and a bunch of his friends went to a bowling alley at the local college to go bowling.
I ended up hitting 120 on my first game and 104 on my second game. My all time best was 167 that I threw a couple of years ago. I was pretty happy with my first score, it beat my uncles score by one point. We were pretty close and I threw a spare in the last frame so I got an extra throw. I got a nine on the extra th
So today I went to a couple of rummage sales. Actually only one was a rummage sale, the second was a moving sale.
Anyway, the rummage sale was put on by my church. They usually have two a year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall. At first I didn't find anything too terribly interesting. They didn't have any LEGO, that's usually the first thing I check for at any sales. After that I went to look at the pictures and picture frames. I'm alway looking for cheap pictures, either actually
This is my 100th Blog entry. For anyone who has a blog here at BZPower it is a major milestone. I also made my 500th post today, for that is also major milestone.
My most commented entry was Two Merit Badges Left. My MLN Store entry has a few more comments but it's not really a real entry. It seems like on average any entries I make involving Boy Scouts get a more comments then entries on any other topic.
I also submitted one news item that made the front page so far. That would be th
My Troop had elections last night. The only positions really elected were patrol leaders, the rest of them are appointed after people submit what positions they would like. We also rearranged the patrols.
I am now a Junior Assistant Scout Master/Web Master. I get the fun job of building the troop a web site. I had one started on geocities a while ago but then they are closing down the end of this month. I think I'm going to go with Webs.
It seems like my troop has been having an atte
Yeah, it was snowing this morning. I think the total ended up being a couple of inches.
I look out my window and every tree in my yard still has most or all of it's leaves. I haven't raked the yard once yet this year. It's like it jumped from the nice warm summer to a short cool period to a cold winter. At least the ground isn't cold enough yet for it to accumulate on the driveway so I don't have shovel.
On a side note, my dad bought a new router so my family has internet access again.
My family's current router died over the last two days. Yesterday morning our internet died, as usually we blamed it on our (un)reliable internet service. After trying to fix our internet connection with their tech support which failed, my dad ended up resetting the router last night. All was well until about 9:00 A.M. this morning. The internet went out again. After bypassing the router my dad was able to get connected on his laptop.
Right now we only have one computer hooked up to the
So I was at the Library last night. Ironically, I spent most of the 1/2 hour I was there on here.
Once I was done on here I went to look for a couple books, the last time I read anything for fun was the beginning of September. I read the Count of Monte Christo, which was a good but but I was rushing to get through it so I wouldn't have stop when I school started back up again.
So anyway I found a couple of books and then I went to check to see if I had my Library card. Opps, I guess my
Last night was my troops annual yearly planning meeting. I'm looking forward to some of the stuff my troop is going to be doing over the next year.
At the end of this month we are going to a nearby camp to have a shooting sports weekend.
Next month we are going to be having a day trip thing a county park to do some orienteering and Geocaching. The orienteering course was made by one of my troop's Eagle scouts for his eagle project. I'm not sure how many none scouts use it though.
