I think I just have to say that LEGO Star Wars II for XBox 360 is one of the most amazing games ever made.
Randomness aside, today marks the end of this year's marching band camp (which started last Saturday) for the resident Moo-Obsessed Toa of Electricity. So why am I bringing up marching band? Well, this year my little brother had marching band camp for four weeks, consisting of two weeks of mini band camp, one week of full band camp, and then another week of mini band camp. Full band c
Hey, all, it's been nearly a month; I should probably post here again.
I'm currently in New York visiting family before the summer wraps up and I'm back at college. It's been stormy and rainy today, though, which makes it seem kinda miserable outside. Not the good storms that last about a half hour and are filled with beautiful lightning bolts, but the cruddy ones that, eh, a few cracks of lightning and a burst of thunder, but cloudy all day. It is clearing up, though.
Also, I obtained
Yesterday, my brother KK and I got our wisdom teeth removed. I had three taken out (which was all I had) and KK got four removed.
Amazingly, my mouth doesn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would.
It was also the first time I had ever been on anesthesia. The experience was instantaneous, and it was very odd to me how fast that half hour flew to me.
Just my random blurb of today. Also, welcome back online, BZPower!
For those of you who aren't Glenn Beck fans, the title is actually a term of endearment.
The reason for the Glenn Beck inside joke? I was at his Insiders Convention in Akron, Ohio this past Saturday, and I had a great time. I got to shake Glenn's hand, got a picture with him, and he talked with my mom and spoke to my dad on the phone due to some very humorous circumstances. Unfortunately, I did not inherit my mother's socializing genes, so I didn't say much. >>;
Also, it appears
Today, my brother KopakaKurahk and I were walking up and down a nearby cul-de-sac and, while he was observing some lovely Virginia creeper and poison ivy decorating a peaceful evergreen, I noticed, with the help of my insect nerdiness, a spider that I originally thought was sitting within its web waiting for prey. Turns out, the spider had already obtained its evening meal: a small, black wasp that was no longer than a centimeter. Oh, the little stinging terror tried and tried to escape its i
For those of you who haven't read my latest comic, four days ago marked Akano's Comics' fourth year anniversary. For any topic on BZPower, that is an amazing feat, and I hope the topic will have a few more years in the running.
Also, thanks to those who read my new chapter. You can still post in the review topic since topic revival is allowed in the Epics forum so long as your posts are on topic.
I seem to have a habit of not updating this often.
Main update: I added a new chapter to My Transformation Part II. I encourage you to read it; it's fairly lengthy and full of goodies.
Also, tomorrow is my last day of finals and I get to go home! Woot woot! I'm very excited.
I'll get to see my friends again. It's going to be great. ^^
Um, that's all for now. Please read the new chapter!
Yes, I am alive. 8D
I'm sorry to those two viewers out there that I haven't been posting here since January. Having stupid fluff classes in college tends to rot your brain since it isn't getting any application to any subjects...and so forth ramble ramble.
But now the semester draws to a close, and finals are approaching in the next couple weeks. Oh, it'll be a blast, believe me.[/sarcasm]
Anywho, I have also posted new comicses, believe it or not, since January. My most recent was
Well, I figure that since January's coming to a close, I should probably update this thing. Earlier this month, I went to our Science Olympiad scrimmage and helped out by running an event, which was fun. I got to see old friends and had fun watching eggs splatter as they hit the floor. I also have just recently been brushing up on some dollar bill origami, some of which you can see here. My parents bought me a book called "Hawaiian-Style Money Folds" which has some pretty sweet money origam
I know, I'm late for the former and early for the latter, but I figure celebrating both in one blog entry will suffice.
My Christmas was great. I got to spend it at home with my family had a great Christmas Eve dinner, filled with calamari and ciabatta bread with bruschetta. Present-wise, my brother KopakaKurahk and I got Maxilos and Spinax from my younger brother, Tekulo, though I think KK's keeping that one for himself, and we got Halo 3 and Guitar Hero III.
Hopefully we'll have a Ne
Another month (or two), another entry. I've been quite distracted from BZPower recently as the college semester draws to a close and finals week is waxing and, finally, waning. I do have some rather nice updates, though, ironically during the time in which I should be studying/working on essays due for my finals. >>;;
My Transformation Part II has been updated with a new chapter, and I highly encourage you read it (since it has not gotten attention for months).
Also, I've updated m
It seemed as though ages passed since anyone set foot in the clearing where the little pond lay. No one had been near it in ages, and those who stumbled by it paid it no heed, for they were travelers with another mission and had no need to visit an average little pond that had long been abandoned. But this pond was not left alone, no, but only given time to age and mature. Its creator had taken a short vacation, and in his vacation the pond had nearly blended into the rest of the scenery arou
Nothing like a month's wait to post a new blog entry, eh?
Well that dreaded evil known only as Writer's Block has hit me like a brick wall, as demonstrated previously here. I'd like to get one done by the end of this weekend, but nothing's popping into mind. Eh, it happens, I guess.
I got my BZPower engraved brick yesterday, and it's really good quality. Special thanks to Binkmeister for holding that fundraiser. ^^ It is now firmly placed in the front of my Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins se
My gradumacation party was on Sunday, and I had a blast. There's truly nothing better than having your friends celebrate with you, no matter what the occasion.
And I almost ended up in the ditch outside my house twice. 8D
That seems to be my only problem. That and a couple left turns.
I got my temporary driver's license yesterday. 8D
Yes, I realize I'm 18 and that I'm a little late on this, but I don't care. The ToE's on the roads now. Beware.
Also, I posted my 102nd comic the other day, so have fun with that one. ^^
Yay for the new superscript tags!
As I sit here late at night waiting to see Jay Leno's pick of the weekly Headlines (cruddy Wimbledon ¬_¬) I decided to write a blogthing entry.
I do have a good idea for a new comic, but I'm afraid my attention span must lengthen itself so I may be able to create the blasted comic. You guys should enjoy it, though.
And lastly, crabadonk!
Yesterday, I obtained my 4-year…Norik head? Exactly what am I supposed to do with it? ~tries putting it on his face like a mask~
You know, after one year, you can control time, after two years you get power over light, three years you get invisibility, but all I have now is a Rahkshi head?
The fourth year stinks. XP
...I've hit a comic writer's block. *slam*
I really need an idea for a comic. And what stinks is that inspiration is all around, but for some reason my inspiration-o-vision is on the fritz.
Anywho, I have been trying to get back into the groove of writing for My Transformation Part II and Inventor of Metru Nui Rewritten, so be on the lookout for new chapters for each of those. A new MT II chapter is currently in the works and should be up within the next couple days. IoMN Rewritten will
Yep, that's right, every peoples. I graduated from high school on Saturday. I feel so old.
I'm sure people are wondering, "What's this going to mean for the comics?" Probably not too much, at least not until autumn, because I'm still going to be home until marching band in college starts up.
And I still have no clue what I want to be when I grow up.
That's right. Last week, May 9, 2007, at 2:25 pm, Akano's Comics officially turned 3 years old!
Boy, that's a long time for any topic on BZP to be going. I know I haven't kept up the production in recent history as much as I did before, but several obstacles fall into place during one's senior year in high school (AP tests, college applications, scholarship auditions, etc.). But, I've kept my lovely topic going and going as inspiration came to me or knocked me to the floor. So, in lieu of
Blah. I never update this thing, do I?
Well, a week and two days ago was Nerdfest 2007 state competition. And once again, Atako Toa of Life and Akano Toa of Electricity are ranked as state champions of entomology! Woot woot!
Also, the middle school team qualified to go to Nationals this year, and I have been invited due to my hard work in helping these students on their way to the top. I hope it'll be fun.
I'm still trying to get the 100th comic finished up. Some of the jokes and ga
Yeah, believe it or not, it's snowing here. We have at least a foot of snow and it's still coming down.
I suppose that's not too unusual, at least for where I live. Two years ago a festival we have in the second week of April or so was cancelled due to snow. XD
Weather as usual in my realm.
Sorry I haven't posted an entry here for more than a month. My life recently has been quite busy. For instance, a week ago I had to perform for my school's spring musical. It consumed much of my time, usually practice and performances went until 10-11 pm. @@;
Anywho, with that out of the way, I'm hoping to work on my 100th comic (no, it isn't done yet. ><. I hope to have it done possibly by next weekend, since my spring break is coming up. Also, Nerdfest 2007 State competition is c
I've come back from a day of working hard at various events. And it was all worth while. NEXT STOP, NERDFEST 2007 STATE COMPETITION!!!
I apologize for the extreme, jovial yelling in ALL CAPS, but I'm thrilled! I got bronze in Entomology and gold in Chemistry Lab.
Unfortunately, during the awards ceremony, when I won the gold for chemistry, I yelled at the top of my lungs "YES!!" There was no other background noise, and everyone's eyes were on me. XD But, I was thrilled; it was my firs
Yesterday, February 22nd, was my birthday. Unfortunately, it had to fall on one of the busiest days of my schedule, with Science Olympiad, Pit Band, and Jazz Band all dominating in one foul swoop.
I had a decent time, though, and my friends got me some nice gifts. I got cookies and a card today from some of my friends in band, and another friend got me a CD. Oh, and I got cupcakes. Can't go wrong with cupcakes.
And waiting at home for me after all this was a Chipotle burrito with my na
