...And I just went through the Comedies forum with a flamethrower. Every single topic on the front page has been scoured. It felt good, hahah.
But seriously, hey there, brothers and sisters of BZPower! It's good to see you all again. How've you been?
Please vote in the RPG contest. I just put a lot of work and have lots some sleep over these polls.
As a final note, I would like to state that have gained a massive appreciation for Tufi, Schizo, and all who make polls for the BBC contests. Sorting forty-eight entries was tiring enough; I cringe to think of doing over two hundred!
I recorded a (cover) song just now this morning - I'm not putting this one on the Powercast, but I'll post it here, because why not? It's 'She's Always a Woman' by Billy Joel. I was moved to pick up my guitar and play it; I was feeling it - so I turned the mic on while doing so.
It's a good song so I'll probably make a polished version eventually, but if you want to enjoy this for now, here it is:

Music is a release, you kno
It is no secret that I an a huge fan of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Their music is incredible, blending classical style and driving Rock & Roll. How often to you find an orchestra with liberal electric guitar use? The "TSO," as it is abbreviated, is skilled at creating both original music as well as taking classics and reworking them into a unique new form. You don't hear the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on the radio (save near Christmastime, when you will hear "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo" onc
FEELING HUNGRY, BZPOWER? Well, I haven't posted one of these in a while, so to make up for it, I'm posting two recipes - a complete meal for your pleasure. On tonight's menu: kafta, a Lebanese dish made from ground meat; and some spiced chickpeas one the side. Mmmmm. KAFTA Ingredients 2 pounds ground beef, lamb, or other ground meat (I used beef) 1/2 tablespoon allspice 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes 1 onion 1/4 cup chopped parsley Note: I only made half of t
Since I didn't have time to make an entry of my own, I will present here my favorite entries of the contest so far instead of advertising mine.
The Bohrok Va! The cutest Bionicle sets remade into a even better, more expressive form. My Shipmate ToMmy, who has had a history of fixation on the Va (perhaps because he is apparently incessantly annoyed by Kayvee), came up with the perfect idea or this Bionicle Building Contest and applied the concept brilliantly, in a simple yet elegant fash
The city was submerged for the first time since the show's pilot! Then it got even better--they finally got the city to fly!
Holy unferth, it is difficult to restrain the geeky fanboy virus that is in my blood.
This season of Stargate: Atlantis had its ups and downs--in fact I'd describe recent episodes as "rocky." I have been a tad uncertain about the direction the show has been heading, especially with the recent death (or apparent death) of Dr. Beckett, which was the final kick of man
"Defying Gravity" by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth
Composed by Stephen Schwartz
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!
Can't I make you understand, you're having delusions of grandeur...?
Re-posting and again dedicating to a certain someone here!
A Night at the Opera by that perennial pinnacle of pure awesomeness, Queen, is perhaps my favourite album of all time--it is at very least in my top five. From the exuberantly amazing British-music-hall romp of "Seaside Rendezvous" to the breathtaking and cathartic "Bohemian Rhapsody"; from the scathing "Death on Two Legs" to the the ethereal folk/skiffle of "'39," the album is exemplary, shifting mood and genre with every track yet
There is no topic revival rule in the library forums. Please refrain from reporting topics in Comedies, Epics, or Short Stories for being "revived." The creative process cannot be rushed, so large gaps between the posting of chapters is acceptable.
This has been a public service announcement!
Well, I bit the bullet and purchased a new laptop (Toshiba Satellite; I got a rather excellent deal on it), since I have homework that necessitated it. My Tecra is still broken, and prospects are grim. I still have not gotten word as to whether or not it can be fixed. I am out a fair sum of cash--a full third of the money I possessed--but far less than I feared. There is still a chance I may be able to earn enough between now and a certain date in the future to afford conveyance to that cert

Although there have been many topics, replies, and blog entries dedicated to this piece of BZPower ordinance, many members still seem unclear on this concept.

I drove to the comic/used-bookstore today. I always enjoy browsing through this particular store. In order to correctly visualize the shop, allow your imagination to paint vividly my following description: the windows and walls of the store's outside are covered in life-sized painting of various comic-book and television characters, such as Doctor Strange, Tuvok, Batman, and many more. After pulling open the door, you are greeted by a friendly clerk and an immediate entrance to the immersive
