I finally ordered the Inika today. I know I said that I was going to order them when they first came out on Shop @ Home, but the combination of the S&T Contest and my vacation drove it from my mind. According to the site, they should be arriving in about two weeks because of the backorder, but I can wait.
Now you might be asking why I entitled this entry "42". Well, as all Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy readers know, 42 is the answer of life, the universe, and everything. Now the s
As always, I seem to choose the worst time to go on hiatus, but at least I get to stick around for BZP's anniversary... for the first time ever... Anyway, I got the prestigious award of blog of the week while I was away and it had ironically been four days since I had added anything to my blog. It made me feel special, but I wasn't really expecting to win that particular prize (see below). Either way, I still have a snazzy banner and you don't.

I was also a little sad to ha
I didn't get very much done today because I thought someone was coming over in the morning, but they came at 1:00 PM so I ended up wasting several hours waiting for them. When they finally left, I barely had enough time to do anything so I just watched the end of Two Towers and plopped myself down on BZPower for the rest of the evening. Sigh... I hope I can get more done tomorrow.
Today was the fateful day that I went to school to receive both the results of my report card and the results of the grade 10 literacy test. All in all, I did very well, I passed the literacy test (obviously) and got over 86% on my report card. The problem, however, was the quest to obtain these documents.
On the way there, it was sort of warm outside, a bit too warm for jeans, but I wore them anyway. When I finally got to the bus stop, I was pretty hot, sweating and whatnot. The bus came
Today I finally finished that Flash movie I told you about (link) and now I can move on with my BZP life. What with the glowing response this movie got, I think I can safely say that I will be making another one... eventually. My ultimate plan is to make a series that continues from where my comedies left off, but I can't start until Little Miss Krahka finishes the sprites for the Director and GregF (but I'm patient and willing to cut her lots of slack because of her generous offer and skill)
I finally got around to posting my first official topic as part of my job as a Fact Team member and I have to say that even I'm impressed with how it turned out. It took soooooo long to do and now that it's done, it is a thing of beauty: a list of ever single known member (minus the Piraka) and a brief summary of their history and powers. Anyway, now that this is over, I can get around to finish the next chapter of my epic which is two weeks late.
Now that I'm free from school, I have so much free time on my hands, it's not even funny. To entertain myself, I've decided to re-watch some of the movies I have. Today, I watch Fellowship of the Ring and I'm glad to say that I actually understood what was going on this time. Although the Gandalf vs. Saruman scenes could have used a little more pyrotechnics, I have a much better appreciation for the movie. In the days to come I'll be watching the rest of the series and a few other random mov
I'm finally free of schoolwork and exams.
I'm not sure how I did on the exams, but I do know that it's not physically possible for me to fail (exams are only worth up to 30% and I had high enough marks that my exam marks are negligible; needless to say, I still would like a good mark). Hopefully I can now get back on track with my BZP stuff (specifically my job as a FT Member), not to mention my epic, TOTA, and Flash movie. Also, I'll be trying to update this blog a bit more so I at least
Inspired by the success of Dr. Bionicle's The Academy, I decided to enter the next RPG contest with an altered version of my epic Wildfire. IMO, it sounds pretty fun and easy to understand- I just hope everyone else thinks so.
For all those interested, the entry is here.
Repent! The end is near! I have essays and exams by the truckload in every single one of my eight courses which all must be done in the next 3 weeks.
Science: Giant exam on everything since September on the 19th.
Careers: Oral presentation next week and portfolio containing EVERYTHING due by the 12th.
Technology: Hard stuff complete, but not out of the woods yet. Only one last teeny, little assignment.
English: Huge 15% essay next week, but luckily no exam.
Spanish: Oral exam on Monda
Well, I just found out why no one was posting in my blog. I forgot to approve the posts. :annoyed2: Well, I believe I've fixed it now, and if I haven't, I know how to check for unapproved posts now.
Today is a very special day for BZP. Not only is it the anniversary of my joining of the site, but it's also the anniversary of my many BZP twins (obviously), which include many well known members such as SylverWind, Skye Green, and Toa Tilius. What I did not know, however, is that we also share our anniversaries with Bionicle, which turned 2 years old the day we all joined.
Happy anniversaries!
Treespeak on the Air (the Podcast I run) does not often have good luck. For instance, what's holding me back from putting up the next two shows is the fact that because I wasn't able to get my computer to record the episodes, I had to get Dr. Bionicle to record them for me. Unfortunately, the files are stuck on his computer because his e-mail is broken and they're too big to send through any other media. I hope he fixes it soon, I really feel bad about keeping everyone waiting.
Here's something all you fans of the Toa Hagah PSA (may the topic rest in peace): I'm currently working on a sequalish thing to it in the spare time I have not doing TotA because Dr. Bionicle's computer is not working. I won't reveal too much, but I can tell you that Cee-estee will be in it (as a voice actor) and that it won't have a long music scene like the last one. Now that I'm more competant in Flash, I'm going to try to get the characters to move a little more, but so far, it's only mak
Welcome to my BZP blog, which happens to be my very first one so bear with me. I hope you like it, but if you don't, I'm not too bothered either way. Expect to see random updates on my life as well as the many projects I have going on among other things. Since I don't really have much to say to day, you should probably check out the "About Me" thingy for a brief introduction into who I am.
Another one bites the dust. Took down Battle Chatelaine Morgan on Super Rotation Battles in Omega Ruby. Swept her whole team with a Gliscor -- it was brutal! Special mention to the Vaporeon, Mega Aggron, and Dragonite that helped me get through 49 other battles to reach her. The code to see it is G75W-WWWW-WW38-WQJP. So that's Singles and Rotation taken care of. I think I'll try Doubles next. Any suggestions?
Interview with Pohatu: ~20 minutes Interview with Animation Team: ~15 minutes Interview with Umarak: ~20 minutes Interview with Ekimu/Makuta/Onua/Narmoto: ~20 minutes Interview with Lewa: ~1 hour This casting director is a genius.
Took a few weeks, but everything people have asked me to re-post that I had archived has been re-posted. Apologies to @fishers64 because I did not think to save Mata Nui's Performance Review and to @meglatorian because not only did I not save The Three Bohroketeers, but I completely forgot I wrote it! If anyone happens to have those topics backed up, I'm sure both they and I would be very grateful to get to read them again. Also to note, there are still a few stories in my own private archi
Bishop Alan Grant: Episcopaleontologist "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, bones to mineralized remains." "He died and rose again in 20 million days." "I can't reach that excavation plot, I can only move diagonally!" And yes, , there will be feathers.
This past week has been pretty easy for me. I've had to do a few major cleaning projects (over 2 hours long ), but at least I get payed extra. Other than that and laze about all day, I've also been looking for a job, but I haven't had much success. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a lot of BZP-related stuff because of server errors (especially yesterday's) but I did manage to do a new chapter of Wildfire so my conscience is at peace.
Back when Journey to One came out two years ago, I said to myself, "hey, remember all those movie spoofs you wrote back in the day? Weren't those fun? You should totally write one for this Netflix thing because it's going to be around forever." Then they announced the cancellation. "Hey, it's still cool, it'll be nice to do one last thing with Bionicle before saying goodbye forever." Yes, well, little did I realize that it would end up taking two years! Granted, I was finishing a master
I know a lot of people use the blogs rather than the forums to showcase their stuff, but that's crazier than crazy. Blogs are for shameless self-promotion and complaining about random things that no one else has context for! So I'm not going to post my video here, but I will link it for you to discuss. LINK
Hey, I just entered The Legend Continues contest. The prizes sounded pretty good, and I felt that the Skull Slicer kind of got a raw deal only showing up in 2 web animations and getting like a sentence of lore. He was this arena champion who inexplicably had 4 arms. So many questions... Also, I've been off and on writing another movie spoof. I'll finish it someday...
