The Key Of C

So the C key on my computer's keyboard had a nice trip through my house's central vacuum, but I got it back.   That is all I have to say on the matter.

Attention Paranoids

No one is out to get you.   No one at all.   Your life is boring and you are not the centre of some dastardly plot.   Get over it.   Actually, now that I think about it, there is someone out to get you:   Me, if you don't stop harping on about your irrational fears! :angry:   That is all.

What Should I Ask For?

What should I ask for for my birthday this year? I'm thinking maybe something like video games (preferably nothing with insane amounts of gore), but I'm open to suggestions.

New Software Rules

Well, it's been long overdue (considering how quick I revamped the Sets forum), but I've finally redone the Software rules. The forum's a bit more exclusive now, but on the other hand, there are less official topics to keep track of as well as less irrelevant topics to have to sift through.   So come one, come all, let's rekindle some discussion about software... or something...

Objectively Qualifying The Weather

Stop it! Stop it now! :angry:   To quote The Hobbit: Not entirely what I'm getting at, but it's a good starting point at how vague our small talk is.   What really grinds my gears is when people use qualifying adjectives (e.g. good, nice, beautiful, gorgeous, splendid, miserable, terrible, etc.) to objectively describe the weather. What I'm saying is, what the heck is "good" weather and who decides this?!   Does it mean that the sun is shining, there are little or no clouds, there is no

Ancient Mayan Code Updated

163 142 142 121 142 142 142   What does it mean?   Why, that is the pattern of the scars on my right leg (going from top to bottom) left behind by the stitches from my operation back in July, written in ancient Mayan numerals. Or could it have some deeper significance? (If you can think of one, let me know).   And speaking of my leg, I'm probably at 90-95% right now. I can do all the basics, it's just things like maintaining my foot's arch and full range of motion in my knee that are holdi

Winter 2010 Adventures

This last couple of weeks has been quite the whirlwind for me. Millions of things due in school, not to mention Reading Week, so here's what I've been up to lately.   Just before reading week, my professors decided to make everything due at once. Wasn't that nice of them? After finally stressing and fighting my way through a seemingly endless pile of assignments, it was suddenly Reading Week, but it was no time for relaxing.   No sir, no relaxing at all. Some people from my church and I wo

What's So Great About Avatar?

I hope that got your attention.   I saw the movie about a month ago and I have a fairly neutral opinion of it. Sure there was a lot of impressive CGI and stuff, but for some reason I'm not seeing how it became the number one selling movie of all time or why I keep hearing about people desperately wishing to go to Pandora.   I can pretty much trace this back to the sense of nausea the 3D effects of the movie induced in me, so as impartially as you can, I'd appreciate hearing what exactly it is

A Quick Lesson In Philosophy

I just felt this bore saying.   When forming your opinion on a controversial subject, or your world view in general for that matter, I would hope that you can remember the somewhat oxymoronic words of Obi-Wan Kenobi:   "Only a Sith deals in absolutes!"   So yes, technically in saying that, he is calling himself a Sith, but it's an important message nonetheless. Nothing is black and white, might I stress NOTHING at all. What political party you support, what religion you observe, what forms

A Sad Thought

How do you suppose the people of 1111 AD felt when they realized that it would be another 8889 years until the date could be written in binary again?

I'm Psychic

Let the record show that I am psychic.   From nearly 3 years ago.   I called the release of LEGO Harry Potter done by Traveller's Tales.   Not only that, but I'm going to make another prediction based on other things I've seen and read lately: this will be one of the greatest games of all time.

Two Quick Grammar Lessons

Alright, here are two things that have been bugging me lately in how people are speaking incorrectly.   1) Know your past participles.   What is a past participle? That's the word that goes after the axillary (usually some form of the verb "to have") in tenses that describe the past.   For instance, "I have seen thousands of cars in my lifetime". The word "seen" is the past participle.   Some common slip ups I've noticed lately:   -To beat => I have beaten NOT I have beat -To bite =&g

Brilliant Money Making Scheme

Unfortunately, this is the sort of idea I could never get away with, but maybe in posting it, someone slightly cleverer than me will be able to devise a way to profit from it.   Now, let me start off by saying that I don't get the appeal of professional sports. I just cannot bring myself to care who wins or who loses or follow a tournament at all in any sport. They're just people who are being paid an insane amount of money to play a game against another group of such people. Granted, they'r

Potter Is Not Bran

On a Harry Potter fansite, there is a caption contest held every so often using various Harry Potter related pictures. A few months ago, I gave an entry for one of the rounds and it was rather well received and was once voted the number one caption on the site (it has since been knocked down to 7, but it has yet to fall off the list).   Recently, I did a Google search and found that I accidentally spawned somewhat of a fad, which was pleasantly surprising. Now, since I'm not as well-known in

What I Did On My Christmas Vacation

Well, after the 25th, I pretty much dropped off the face of the map as I celebrated Christmas and took an extended break from BZP. As I understand, there were subsequent riots in the street due to this absence, but fear not citizens -- I am back!   So here's what I've been up to lately...   Being the careful planner that I am, I went Christmas shopping on the 23rd. The mall was packed and selection was limited, but I somehow managed to get exactly what I was looking for. I got in a lot of d

Paradox-free Time Travel

"Paradox-free time travel? Now I know you're crazy, SPIRIT."   This has been bugging me lately, so I felt I needed to get it off my mind. So listen well, sirs and madams, while I explain the mechanics and feasibility of time travel that doesn't have to interfere with physics or logic as does much of the time travel we see in popular media.   Parallel Universes   First thing's first. For paradox-free time travel to be possible, we need to assume that there are parallel universes or timeline

Thief!

So this morning my dad got ready for work as usual and went into the garage only to come back inside a few minutes later to report that it had been broken into last night. Some loose change was missing along with random things like a pair of gloves he kept in his car.   Now here's the annoying part: I probably could've stopped this.   My room is right by the garage and as I was up late on the computer, I thought I heard a noise like the side door to the garage opening, but I just dismissed it

What Is This I Don't Even

So I was procrastinating today.   "Whoa, SPIRIT was procrastinating? Stop the presses!"     So I decided to see what this whole Twitter craze was about and went to check out the site. On the main page, they've got like this search bar, so I thought to myself, hey, why don't I see if people are tweeting about BIONICLE?   So I search for some random BIONICLE words and while I'm sifting through the results when I come upon a series of... just weird tweets. I don't know if this is a prank or

Stocks With Spirit

And now for a brief review of recent stock trends with our financial expert SPIRIT.   Shares in ORLY dropped 0.27 points, AFK dropped 0.34 points, BRB dropped 0.05 points, GTG remained neutral, IMHO dropped 0.670 points, and BFF remained neutral.   Truly this is not a good day for stocks humorously bearing the names of common Internet abbreviations.

This Isn't The End!

Well, it might be the end of BIONICLE, but it's not the end of me.   For those who have been wondering whether I'm coming out with a new Flash video or writing anything else after my comedy, the answer is yes, but they won't to be about BIONICLE.   I plan to still create stuff, but I think it's high time I started making something a little more original than the BIONICLE-based projects I've saddled myself with these past six years. I'll try to keep you guys updated on what I'm up to, but at t
