Blogged because while I wrote it as part of another comment I think it's a sentiment that deserves to stand on its own: Source: What do you want to see in the Lego Batman Movie?
Does anyone have a paperback copy of Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper, published by Simon & Schuster? 'Cause in my copy, page 25 was left blank, and if someone could provide a scan or something, I'd REALLY like to know what happens between pages 24 and 26.
EDIT: Never mind, I checked out a copy from the library that DID have the missing page. So... problem solved.
Now that the three-week adventure of BrickFair VA–BronyCon–Family Camp is over, it's time I got down to business. To do this fall: Finish Summer 2015 Bionicle review for The New Elementary Figure out what specifically needs to be done to apply to return to Landmark College for a Bachelor's degree next spring, and whether that really is the best choice Figure out whether I'll be able to put Bionicle costumes together in time for BrickFair NJ MAYBE continue writing my trash Emmy Altava vs. At
... er... I mean news.
First of all- my brother wanted me to advertise his Short Stories Contest entry on this blog. HERE it is. It's based on the song Endless Night from the play The Lion King. So... please post on it. It would make him happy.
Secondly, I'm not digging this whole blog thing. So anyone who follows this blog (as if anyone does ), let it be said that I am not going to be making any new entries for a while. I won't be gone forever, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I
So I read about the Caveat Scriptor contest BZPower was running in the comedies subforum. And I, a person who mostly avoids the comedies subforum, thought to myself, "Ah, this sounds like the kind of thing I could actually enter." So I did. You can read my entry, The Lego Movie: Primetime Pitch, here. Now for this blog entry to get buried under 2013 retrospectives!
So yesterday after watching an AMAZING episode of My Little Pony, Aanchir, Meiko and I went up to Potomac Mills to see Catching Fire before it left theaters for good. As I expected, it was excellent. And as a bonus, we got to visit the Lego store! My haul was as follows: 70803 Cloud Cuckoo Palace 70724 NinjaCopter President Business Collectible Minifigure Emmet Poster, Wyldstyle Poster (which I missed last week), and Benny Poster Build-a-Mini Pick-a-Brick Cup (including, among other things, mo
Have you voted in Caveat Scriptor yet? If not, drop everything you're doing and go vote. Right now. There's only one day left and so far only 16 people have voted; and I know there's far more than 16 active members here. Currently, my entry, The Lego Movie: Primetime Pitch, is in second place by a small margin. You don't have to vote for it! But I would feel MUCH better, whether I win or lose, if more people voted in the contest whatsoever. If I lose when only 16 people have voted, I'll have to
THE VOYA NUI ONLINE GAME IS UP!
I started as soon as I found out. I managed to get a little bit into chapter one before I had to go help with dinner. Getting past the Guarding Lava Ape had me stumped until I realized I had to go back and talk to Garan again. Who really gets in the way in battles.
My name on VNOLG is Lyichir. A bit obvious.
EDIT: Made it to chapter two! Gosh, Reidak was easy!
EDIT 2: Can't beat the swarm of Rock Ussals! Any tips?
The Comedies Contest poll ended in a tie between my entry, The Lego Movie: Primetime Pitch, and Peabody Sam's entry, Scene 24: Johnny Thunder Blows This Taco Stand. So there's now a tiebreaker poll to determine the final winner, to end at midnight tonight! If you voted for one of those entries, get over there and repeat your vote! If you voted for a different entry, pick one of the finalists as your favorite and vote for that! And if you didn't vote, well, you only have to read half as many st
On Friday, Aanchir and I got out to our local comic book store, and left with one of the biggest comic hauls we've ever gotten in a single outing. (Image link) Pretty sweet, huh? They had run out of My Little Pony Issue 12, but we did get quite a few other things. The Search, Part Three is good (as I've come to expect from the Avatar comics), and does a good job of resolving the search for Zuko's mother, as well as providing some sense of closure in regards to Azula. The Sandman Overture
So with Splatoon adding new battle modes geared toward people who want to play online with friends, I figured it was about time to put out another all-call for any of my BZP friends who want to add me to their Wii U friends list. My Nintendo Network ID is "Lyichir" (without the quote marks). Games I have that feature online play: Splatoon (my current passion—it's the first competitive online shooter that I've really enjoyed) Mario Kart 8 (another game I love—haven't played in a while but I'd
I have to admit being a little disappointed by the results of the tiebreaker poll. Not because I lost, but because neither I nor Peabody Sam even got the eight votes we did in the main poll, let alone new votes from either members who hadn't voted before or members who voted for some of the entries that didn't make it. I really think that there should be some direct line of communication between staff who run contests and the news team so that unexpected events in need of immediate attention (li
I have a new MOC topic in the Bionicle-Based Creations forum! Check it out for more pics and to leave any comments or questions you might have! Source: Wairuha: Great Uniter of Wisdom
I wrote a fanfic? A BIONICLE fanfic!? I guess miracles do exist. Anyway, I didn't spend all that much time on this, so I'm not making any promises about quality. But feel free to head to the topic to check it out! Source: Flow Like Water
I'm going to see a ballet version of Edward Scissorhands today at the Kennedy Center. It's gonna be AWESOME.
I decided it was about time to post something else in this blog.
Aanchir and I went and watched The Golden Compass yesterday with a couple of friends. If you want my opinion, I say it's definitely worth watching. I only read the book (and its two sequels) at the beginning of this week, but that in no way lessened my liking of the movie. It managed to stay relatively true to the book while glancing over some of the touchy religious subjects and rearranging things to better fit it to the medium of film. In addition, the acting was good and the characters we
I'm actually staff on The Ninjago Wiki. Hard to believe, right? Probably even for people there, seeing as like here on BZP I am far from the most active member. Anyway, Aanchir and I put together this review for the site. It's set to be the first in a series. Click the above image to check it out. It's my first review, so if you have any comments or questions you can leave them here!
So I thought, while the recent Pokémon games are on everyone's minds, I'd blog about nicknames. I never used to nickname my Pokémon back in the days of G1 or G2. I only started in G3, when I decided on a whim to name my Sceptile "Katana". I don't think I nicknamed any of my others, and that's kind of a relief, considering what my Sceptile's nickname says about my naming skills at the time. I didn't nickname my team in Pearl Version, and felt bad about it. So from HeartGold and SoulSilver onw
First and foremost, a spoiler-free review: IT WAS AWESOME. It was a fitting end to the series and certainly approached the greatness of the A:TLA finale even if it didn't necessarily match it. Now, to the spoilery bits, sorted for your viewing convenience. Story Execution Shipping So yeah. I was extremely satisfied with the finale as a whole. Mike and Bryan don't seem intent on returning to the Avatar universe right away, but that's okay—I'll be glad to see whatever they mi
