Let me explain what you're looking at. Those are the pumpkin/squash plants that have been growing at my house. Only now they're dead.
The temperature at night went from being in the mid 60s for a few weeks to suddenly 34 Fahrenheit in just one night. Unfortunately it looks like the cold was too much for them.
I guess this is how the story ends...
RIP pumpkins 2020-2020 gone too soon.
Well, here we are. One of my favorite times of the year has come and gone... Now Christmas is right around the corner, so things are going to be even better! ... Right?
But anywho, let me share with you my creations of the evening:
Apparently every person in South Carolina had the same idea as I did, so my produce selection was unfortunately quite limited. I think they turned out pretty good though. The cucumber might be my favorite lol.
Also I didn't
Bought a Lego set today for the first time in ages. It was a toss up between this one and another shuttle, I think from the Lego City line? Don't really remember lol. But this one was a little cheaper and had more pieces, so I went with it. I did like the other one too though.
It even comes with Optimus Prime!
There were a few pieces that were new to me, but I'm not sure how new they actually are considering this is my first set since Chima if I remember correc
As you may or may not remember, I am a pretty big Star Wars fan. I don't think I ever talked about any of the new movies or shows here though due to being away from BZP at the time, and I'm sure you've all been lying awake at night wondering what I think about them. Well, you can rest easy tonight, for I am about to reveal all. I'll start with Rebels since that was the first new Star Wars after being bought by Disney:
- Rebels
I was excited at first, but then I realized it was really
For one reason or another I had an itch to plant some pumpkin seeds and have home grown pumpkins for Halloween this year. So naturally I waited until the very end of July (the 28th to be exact) to "plant" these seeds by throwing them out on the lawn, in a spot that's away from any lawn mowing. All was going well for a few weeks... Until someone randomly decide to mow this spot and obliterate my poor pumpkin plants.
But something happened. Despite it being the middle of August at the time, I
Been thinking of getting an actual camera for photography instead of just using my phone to take pictures. Don't get me wrong, it takes decent photos, but I'd like to get a real, dedicated camera so I can take my amateur photography to a slightly higher level lol. There's plenty around here to capture.
I'm also trying to decide on where I'd like to upload said images. I know Flickr has been a favorite here for many years but I've never tried it. I currently use Imgur buuuuut it doesn't seem
Did this a few Halloweens ago:
What should we call it? According to Wikipedia, a Jack O'Lantern is "a carved pumpkin, turnip, or other root vegetable lantern associated with Halloween" and Pineapples are neither root vegetables nor associated with Halloween.
The Halloween decor has left the attic.
I only put out a little bit (more than just what's pictured though), but considering it's still the first week of September I still have plenty of time to setup the rest.
I tried posting this twice yesterday, but BZP was having issues and both times the entry on my blog was blank. So I guess third time's the charm.
Fourteen years ago we lost a great human being. Still feels like it happened yesterday. I remember I used to want to be just like him when I was a kid lol.
When do you think is a good time to decorate for Halloween/autumn?
Me, I'd say mid September is a good time. Though honestly I'd rather start sooner, but considering that it's still in the high eighties in early September here it just doesn't feel right lol.
I got the first three issues of the Bionicle Papercutz graphic novels, and man. The old artwork in these is sooooo much better than 06-onward. I especially like the way they stylize Kopaka/ice.
Over the past year and a half, I've been really getting into hockey and the NHL. I wish I had done so waaaay back in the day, because I've really been enjoying it, and for my dad's sake as well (he's been a lifelong fan). Anyone else enjoy the sport? And who will you be pulling for in the playoffs?
For me, I gotta pull for the Rangers. My family is from Jersey, and again, my dad has followed the Rangers his whole life, so I was kind of born into this lol. I'm not really expecting them to ta
I have finished reading the Bonkle books. Obviously they're not aimed for people my age, but I still enjoyed them nonetheless and found it pretty nostalgic. I'd have to say the Metru Nui arc was my favorite, and the Toa Metru are probably my favorite Toa team. And Time Trap is still the best Bionicle novel.
Now I have to try and find something to fill the void finishing has left me with...
We got a little rain and lightning tonight, thanks to Mr. Smoke Monster and his tropical storm lol. I decided to get a picture of the clouds as they were coming in:
I also found this picture I took a while back and wanted to post it too because I thought it looked cool:
Well, earlier this week I finished reading the Voay Nui books. They were pretty good, and of course I like the whole team of Toa Inika. The only thing I was really disappointed by was the fact that there was not a single mention of the Piraka rap.
My thoughts so far...
Chronicles: Yeeeaah, they don't hold up quite as well as I remembered (especially the Mask of Light novel). They're a little on the boring side, which is forgivable considering the age range they're intended for.
Adventures: These have always been my favorite, even if I don't care for the Hordika storyline. Time Trap still remains my favorite book.
Legends: Currently I'm only on Dark Destiny. I almost forgot how edgy they tried to be during this period lol. N
