I made a connection in my mind many years ago when I played "Dress up" at a late friend's home: High heels = falling on face. A few years ago I saw a woman walking down a city street in stilettos and made connection no. 2: tall heels do NOT equal sexy. (Well, I made this connection back when I fell on my face, but that's another story...) Somehow, women have decided heels are the wheels for trapping men. Somehow, men are dumb enough to think the same. Then again, when has the male portion o
Crew News: The MNW crew would like to welcome Cadias to the ranks of reporters. He will be covering Ga-Wahi.

KENTOKU ARCHIPELAGO KINI-NUI TA-WAHI The Ta-Koro Guard and heroic bystanders move towards the Lavapool Inn to act on the Piraka’s aggression.

The world runs on time? No, I don't think so. The world runs on MONEY. In reality, the world runs on neither time nor money, but on it's own schedule of cycles, regardless of the "hour" or revolutions of the planet. The Sun will come up each morning (unless you're living in the poles) and the moon will come out each night. Somehow, humans have stuffed the magic of this world into a box. This box has no detailed facets. It's just a box. This box has a sticker on the top with a sign that
Behold the power of friendship and collaboration and synergy and stuff. We would write more, but we're off to get a pizza and Funyuns. [[Drug references aren't allowed, even in LEGO form. -Valenti]]
I really didn't want to put this up in the art forum because, hey, it's really just a sketch (or a dump, whatever you prefer to call it is fine), but I was just doodling around on the Wacom and getting the hang of digital medium art and suddenly realized I'd begun drawing an anatomy concept for matoran in the BZPRPG, where characters are far more organic than in TLG canon. Orange is inorganic components, cyan is eyes, heartlight, and brain; yellow for auditory, and deep blue for organic compone
Becoming hatachi (no, not "farmland"), is a sort of an interesting thing for me. I didn't really have to do much, except survive a chronic disease and make sure I woke up every morning for 7,304 days in a straight row, but at the same time it feels like a monumental achievement: I'm an adult in Japan with all the rights and responsibilities that entails. Unfortunately I was never able to participate in a risshi shiki on my fifteenth birthday, although I did stand in front of a group of peers an
I love you. Take my words, And place them in your heart, Like the batteries to an alarm clock, setting off your world at the right time. Let me help you, Let me open up that door, Get you that coffee at Starbucks. Take a look. I'm not doing anything, You wouldn't do for me, Right? Sitting down on summer nights, Bundled up for Winter's sights, Spread eagle on the floor, Light flitting from around the edge, An opening door. I love you enough to fix you, Don't turn away from me. Accep
"Moreover, the early constellation of symptoms can have a paucity of findings with unidimensional presentations: the onset of solitary problems such as vertigo, or recurrent upper respiratory tract infections. Over time, as the untreated LD percolates, symptoms accrue to the burgeoning clinical picture until a multisystem presentation is created. Other patients can have their manifold symptoms complex develop in the manner of an avalanche. These patterns represent the extremes of a clinical cont
KENTOKU ARCHIPELAGO Chōjo Yumiwa attends the debate in the market, presiding over the different arguments like a Crown Princess should. Of course, her arrival sparked a flurry of bows and apologies for standing in her presence, though she waived them off with such courtesy she seemed a goddess of compassion. NIhi continued, pointing out Mata-Nui’s resources, land, and the scourge of the piraka. In the end, she called out to the crowd saying their, “are cowards in our midst.” Sanei goes to t
Dear All, Yeah, yeah... I'm not writing in the RPG. Sorry, my arm is still not up to par, so I'm typing this with my left hand and giving my right a break. I wrote this about three months ago... Enjoy! --Karen Because sometimes - Just sometimes It might help someone To cast off the net of fear, Staring unblinkingly At the Vision in a mirror Because sometimes - Maybe Sometime If I give up for once Let my Jaw slacken from the prize It might help someone
Well I'll be a Ga-matoran-- I actually DID come back to the party. This blog is now reopened with the celebration of my purchase of lifetime premier!!! I look forward to a grand celebration of writing, music, comedy, and general Bionicle artistry. I will attempt to insert purple prose, the moving lines of literature often attributed, as is the case in many old English novels, of causing the reader, a young, quizzical being with a passion for plastic toys, to fall into a brainless stupor
Archivist Entry 001.01 Following the announcement of the six warlords' ascension to power as universal leaders of change, it seemed peace was finally at hand. Metru-Nui citizens felt little impact in their day to day existence, and even the citizens of other island nations seemed in capable hands. The brotherhood bore the yoke with a semblance of grumbling, namely for having intruders finally look inside their laboratories. Vortixx factories continued to produce technology under Barraki Pri
Sitting somewhere between reality and perplexity. Wait, that was a fragment, right? Let's try to fix that, shall we? (Ugh.. this voice sounds terrible.) Take TWO: Sitting between the fixed perplexities of reality and the variable inconsequential laws of nature, I type frantically with no theme in mind. I could gripe at my lack of readers, my inability of writing, or the fact homework makes the world look like an unwelcome plane of existence. Ugh. Go figure, I'm procrastinating. I spent
I've just tuned into the
with a new pair of Bose headphones, and for some weird reason I have this burning urge to write a blog post. Not a "I shall take over the world with comments and spam" post, but an actual, heart to heart blog post. I'll admit I don't really have any idea what I plan to write about. Honestly, I think that's a bit like life: we open up the window and start typing on a blank form. Of course, the web-page has been provided by someone else, but the actual content we cr
KENTOKU ARCHIPELAGO WOW! The Tajaar culture meets at the bridge to Sado, Hatchi of clan Kuychar selling a beautiful box to the Jahagir of clan Angavur (Senavysh). The post is stunning, btw, especially in its use of customs, cultural differences between Tajaar and Dasaka, and a complex currency system. One of the best jams in a long time. The debate in the market continues, bringing in the concept of menti powers of the mind, a duty to yada yada yada… Angavur Senavysh (Jahagir of the clan),
KENTOKU ARCHIPELAGO Toroshu Noshima of clan Hogo has a flashback about her relationship with Kamari. Akone and Akimatai eat. Daikura Sakrayo and Eiyu Ankora finish their conversation and the latter goes into the markets, discovering a raging debate... Senavysh Angavur convinces Tutkee to turn off Nortti’s time machine. Enraged, she begins interrogating Tutkii for the reasons of the machine’s construction, but quickly changes to attempting to wake the unconscious Nortti. When Nortti does awa
