Today. Our dad's going to try and pick out some Bionicle and Exo-Force sets we missed last year. (That's what I expect they'll have, as last time they had a sale like this was last year, and they had '06 sets then.)
EDIT: Well, they didn't have much Bionicle, but Dad DID bring in quite a haul! He got the Batcave set, a Ferrari set, the Battank set, and the MOBILE DEVASTATOR! Wootcakes!
Well, my attempt to get this blog back on track has come to a halt. For Christmas I got a journal that, due to the BZP virus, completely supplanted my blog, and had the added benefit of being private, so that I might be able to record my most meaningful secrets and thoughts in it without fear of misunderstanding. I may update this occasionally, but as you can tell from my previous entries, occasionally is a word which here means "practically never," as Aanchir would put it.
I just read it. It's easily the best book GregF has written so far. It plays on one's emotions in such a way that by the end, one feels exactly like Turaga Nuju does when all is said and done.
Long live Mata Nui
Since Aanchir's not gonna blog about it...
Two weeks ago, our family went to a convention for fans of the show "The Office", up in Scranton, PA! We were lucky to have made reservations early this summer (much of our family lives up there), because it was packed! And because one of our great-aunts died three days earlier, so we got to attend the funeral.
But the convention helped to brighten our mood. We got to see The Scrantones (the band that plays the music for the opening credits
Chocolate Frogs has finally convinced me to stop being lazy and get to my blog. So here I am. And I'm reminded of how much work I have to do for it.
See, I haven't been very active on BZP. It was just yesterday that I realized that I got my one-year Vahi. BEFORE MY LAST ENTRY.
So I need to revamp my blog, with a theme other than my failed story. I've got a coupla ideas like...
Cow Planet (A Sandra Boynton themed blog, no? Wish I could find some good pictures....)
Surreal Life (My not-s
I really need to revamp my blog (and pay more attention to it). Two entries ago was before Christmas...
Anyway, today's my birthday! Which means it's Aanchir's birthday as well! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, US!
...'ahem'.... Post comments...
...but it looks like he won't win the BBC contest after all.
Don't cry, Festi...
Anyway, if you haven't voted yet, vote for Festi in poll C and vote for my brother's reindeer in poll G. Festi would have wanted it that way...
No, I'm not making a religion oriented entry. I'm talking about something I just saw in the New Member Q & A forum.
I saw yet another threat of attack on BZP. I have heard about the Maori radicals and their attack on BZPower, and I am hoping that this is not a similar case. This member does appear to have little authority, but I am not wishing to live through another hack of my favorite website.
That said, I have question for you all- Do you have faith in BZPower and its administrat
Very few people have voted my entry. It's probably the fault of my bad coloring, and that no one recognizes it.
Here is its topic:

I did notice that two people (other than my brother and I) did vote our entry. If the two of you could tell me who you are, it might help lift my spirits.
I just FINALLY remembered to listen to it on my laptop. What a freaking awesome song. The lyrics are great, and the music is spot on.
Geez, what do I have to post to get replies around here? If my blogging needs work, PM me tips or something. Don't leave me hanging like this.
Well, I recently became a premier member (for life), so now I have my own blog. I've never done this before, so here it goes.

My name, or username at least, is Lyichir: Rachira of Influence. A Rachira is a being from a Bionicle story that I plan to write. They are beings of great power, so great that they each one has control over a different aspect of reality. They are:
Lyichir: Rachira of Influence
Aanchir: Rachira of Time
Gruchir: Rachira of Matter
Zheichir: Rachira of E
My review of all six Ninjago Airjitzu sets went live while I was at BrickFair this weekend! Check it out if you're interested in the parts of these unique new sets!
My blog's new name and look is from the Mike Oldfield album The Songs of Distant Earth. This album is in turn based on the works of Arthur C. Clarke, most specifically the book The Songs of Distant Earth.
So any of you who were wondering can rest easy now.
In addition, I don't like it as my blog theme either. I will probably change it at some point to being a less themed, more personal blog, or a blog themed after a story of mine called Surreal Life. Don't count on the second one, though
So, in the hopes of kickstarting some more discussion here on BZPower, I just started a topic for discussing the upcoming Lego movie! Head on over there and share your thoughts! Source: The Lego Movie
This past week has been a whirlwind so I figured it would be worth summarizing it both so that people who didn't make it could have an idea of what it was like and so that my experience can be recorded for future reference. This year, unlike past years, Brickfair started on Wednesday. Apart from setting up MOCs, greeting other BZPower members, and attending the opening ceremonies and bingo, not much happened that day. I did pick up and build the set I won in one of the BZP anniversary raffles,
Look at this as a continuation to my first entry.
So, why Rachira? I thought up the name Rachira, and all of their personal names, last year in an old story about a Toa of shadows. They were going to be dragon-like spirits that served the Shadowed One. I scrapped the idea, since they were nothing but something for the Toa to fight. I gave up on the story.
Meanwhile, school had gotten harder, and less fun. All of these problems were just "facts of life", things that I couldn't change.
Not the firm kind of hard, as it's actually pretty pliable before you bake it. No, I mean hard to use, especially for making masks. My first sculpey mask turned out good. (I'll post pictures if I ever stop being lazy ) But that had layers, not ridges like my second one has. Or LIPS. If Aanchir designs me another mask that's this hard to make, I'll strangle him. :angry:
Anyway, here's my process for making masks.
Step 1: Take one Toa Inika head.
Step 2: Coat it in some kind of lub
I finally got my signed Gali poster back from the framer! I won this at the BrickFair VA 2015 live charity auction. It's signed by the artist (and designer of the Gali: Master of Water set) Matt Betteker. I knew I wanted to preserve it in as pristine a condition as possible, so I ended up spending more to frame it than I spent on the poster itself. But it ended up looking fantastic, and I'm eager to find a place to display it.
Are you super-psyched for The Lego Movie? Would you like a chance to hang out with some fellow BZP members? Has it been too long since you've visited a Lego store? Well, check it out! I'm trying to arrange a meetup for a bunch of us to get together at Tyson's Corner or Potomac Mills and watch the movie, visit the Lego store, and just generally have a good time. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, head over to the topic! I need all of your input to make this meetup as cool as po
