... I haven't been around a lot, for those of you who've noticed. Between AP History test coming up and other IRL stuff, I've been off BZP for a while. Haven't properly been BZPing in ages, and I've only posted a little every now and then.
I'm doing my best to get back into the swing of things, but I don't know how much I'll really be able to get on. I'm tryin'.

To go with my new banner/avatar/et.al. I'm working on making the blog actually cool, in the hopes that it will attract moar actually readers. And get me more actual approvals. And all that.
Oh, yeah, and I have a question for my readers. I haven't gotten any Glatorian yet, but I really do want to grab one before I forget all about them in the summer excitement. My local stores have, I'm pretty sure, just got them (based on the two agori I spotted a few days ago), or will get them in a few
Should be discussed in Spoiler Tags, but won't be.

Okay, then. Spoilers it is.

Sure, he's yellow, but yellow is still awesome (it's the color of my favorite smiley: ), and that might be a prototype anyway and we might be blessed with an amazing, golden Mata Nui. Really, the design is brilliant (his design just plain looks cool), he's got cool weapons, cool mask, and cool colors (black and y
In this first edition of This Week in Bionicle, we hope to show you what to expect in this series of The Revolution, how you can help, and of course what’s going on this week… in Bionicle. Read on for more…
Now, when I said this week, I guess I was altering the terminology slightly… it’s not exactly just this week, just whatever’s gone on recently that we’d like to bring to your attention for discussion and… um, usage… or something.
Anyway, first up is the brand new 2009 bionicle.com. The da
Watchmen comes out tomorrow! I'd have gone for a Watchmen theme or something, but at this point it'd be too little, too late.

I'm going to see it tomorrow, I think, and from the trailer (which I got on my iPod for free, only to realize that it was still a waste because I'd only really watch it like once anyway ), it does look really good. The snow day on Monday still has me thinking a day behind, though, but when I catch up I'm probably going to realize that I'm not gonna be a
I would like to announce that BZP member and apparently sometime-Revolutionary has won my Blog Contest from a while back. I refer you to the entry.
There was something wrong with the Member Spotlight wording, and I happened to notice it when I was featured there a while ago. I PMed Black Six about it, and he said that it was interesting, but naturally very low on his list of priorities. So I held a Blog Contest, asking Revolutionaries to try and figure out the error I had spotted.

So. I clicked a link in a sig today, and it took me to a blog that informed me that the Vahki are still alive, in the form of the High Vahki. I like the idea of the Vahki fad (maybe just because I like Vahki ), but they really didn't last too long.
I'm considering starting a movement like the Vahki, but something different, something that will last longer.
My original idea, about six months ago, involved getting hundreds of members to change their names to something almost identical (like "
As some of you might have noticed, I have returned after some time away from BZPower. Now I’ve returned, and it’s time for my blog to do the same. As you might have noticed, the categories, format, and name have changed a bit, and in this first new entry, I’m going to try to explain everything and make the new format clear.
Categories:
Know Your Staff:
In the Revolution, we believe that the staff are an important part of BZPower. They work hard to keep the site clean, friendly, and effic
I was gonna make a big entry explaining everything and all that, but I kept on... not finishing it... and then I realized that noone was going to read it anyway, so here's what I want to say:
I was gone.
I'm back.
Sorry for anything I meant to do and didn't get done. PM me to remind me, please.
Have a nice day.

I got a great idea for an epic the other day (it's actually a very old idea I've had since 2005, but I forgot about and now it's changed a lot). I'll release the teasers slowly and over a long period of time, giving me time to write it as well as hype it up, (I follow the Takuta-nui philosophy of writing the entire story before you start to post it) but I will tell you that I'm going to be researching the time period the epic takes place in... and it's in 2002. Speculation begins. Or not.
No big update this time, just wanted to add a new entry since there hasn't been one in a while. As per pompomperson's suggestion, I'm going to be creating an official blog entry where people can submit their names to join the Revolution and help make my official update sections more accurate and, unfortunately for the reader, probably longer.
That's not for right now, though, right now was just a placeholder to keep the blog active and hopefully bump it up to the first page of the Community Bl
Decided on a new policy today. Not going to type in complete sentences for a while now. Or, if accidentally complete, at least sentences that seem incomplete. Or short. Why? Because it amuses me.
Also, considering new av. V for Vendetta. Read the comic. Thought it was okay. Not as good as I expected. Still really like the idea of a lunatic in a Guy Fawkes mask blowing stuff up, though. Think about it.

EDIT: Realized how random I'm feeling right now. That's all. Carry
Not really. Nothing new. Just thought that, as an "active" BZPer, I should blog a bit. Got the pep rally tonight cuz homecoming's tomorrow. Cross-country gets to go out there, get announced, and sit there while football gets celebrated. Great.
That's all for now. Got to cook dinner now, I'm leaving around 6. Gonna go to Wendy's tomorrow (I have to: when I was running today in XC, I saw that they have a new buffalo chicken burger!). Maybe.
So, yeah, that's it. Thanks for reading.

I changed my blog name to exercise in futility today. Because nobody reads it, so any entries I make will be... well, an exercise in futility.
And it doesn't help that I can barely spell exercise.

I don't know why I'm writing this, since anyone who's seen me has seen that I've changed my banner and avatar, but what's the point of a blog if you don't use it, right?
So anyway, I got these from the kopaka video in the Kopaka gallery on BS01 (that's where I get most of my images: BS01. Great place. ). Originally, I was just going to make a bunch of them and put up a topic, but I thought this looked cool, so I switched it with my previous golden hau set. I might go back to the hau when I
Not because I didn't like the Tahnok-Kal one; I thought it was really cool. It's just that whenever I posted, it really didn't go with the Nuva Team Assembled rank image at all. Just looked bad, the sepia banner and av next to the brightly colored rank image. So I went with something new.
First, I tried a Mata Nui/Makuta rock (you know, from 2001, the black rock and the beige one from the Legend of Mata Nui) banner/av combo, and it worked with the rank image, but just looked really boring.
So I'm thinking about getting a new set. My obvious first choice is Gresh, for all the obvious reasons, and if I was to get a 2009 small set, it'd be Raanu, because of the cool mask (am I the only one who thinks Raanu's mask is really cool?). But... I was thinking, and I was looking at Tanma, who I don't have, and who I still think is really cool. And if my local store doesn't happen to have Gresh, I'm considering getting Tanma. Not as a replacement, but just until I get the chance to pick u
So, two nights ago, I had this dream about the 2009 sets, the glatorians. (It's okay to say that name, cuz of Snoopy's topic in GD... [/is too lazy to provide link]) I've also seen the leaked pictures (don't kill me: I didn't know they were real until it was too late :0).
In the dream, I'm in Toys R Us, or K-Mart, or somewhere, and I walk through the LEGO aisle and I see... the glatorians on the front of the boxes! I get really excited, of course, so I start looking at the boxes and everythi
I've decided to create my own entry in the Blog Contest, and make it the temporary new name for my blog, because I don't have enough entries to justify ending the contest.
I'd like opinions on Why things are the way they are and aren't going to change no matter how much everyone wants them to: good, bad, great?
Oh, yeah, and I got Tahu and Krika from K-Mart the other day. They're great, and the Nynrah are probably the best projectile launchers out there, but Tahu's doesn't work so well for s
I'm in the member spotlight today!
Imagine my surprise when, as I scrolled down BZP's main page a few moments ago, when I scrolled a bit too far beyond what I normally look at, and saw this:
I read the name Vorahk9, and glanced down at the join date and post number, thinking that it was very close to my own. Then I read the interests section, and suddenly I knew: it was me.
You see, when I first joined BZPower back in 05, Vorahk was my favorite set, and 9 was my favorite number, and
So, yesterday, I was out running, and I was thinking why my blog is so unpopular when I'm so popular. After all, I only have one approval and an average of around two comments per entry. The first thought I had was that I'm not actually popular, but then I dismissed that when I realized what could be the real reason: My blog didn't have any meaningful content.
Well, of course I got to thinking what I could do to make this blog a little more meaningful. I thought that maybe some interesting
Look at me, blogging without a category. That's no way to create a neat, organized blog.
Anyway, I have to go to track practice in the pouring sleet in a few minutes, and I just happened to notice that noone reads my blog.
Just kidding. Having a "secret" blog like this meant that I can write whatever I want and not worry about anyone reading it. Like... Black Six is a stupidhead!
