Why are side effects of medicine often worse than what the medicine is trying to cure? If the side effect of a medicine is death, is it better to live with the ailment or chance death?
Why are some side effects what the medicine is trying to cure? If stomachaches are side effects of stomach medicine, how do you know if it's the medicine working?
Why is it that the side effects are what the medicine is supposed to do? Why is drowsiness a side effect of a sleep medicine?
That's why I tak
Remember this? There was a reason that event took place what seems like so long ago. To anyone who cares, I now have a driver's license (or as the manual would put it "driver license"); I got it last Thursday and have been using it to run various errands when I can.
Before anyone asks, never you mind why I didn't have mine sooner: numerous factors and all that. I'll just state the only one you really need to know: I possess the abilities to walk and ride a bicycle (yes, I have had to walk a b
Well, I was at a store today that happened to have the Barraki and the four (so sad it's not six) small sets. I might've bought one of each to check them out, but I wasn't about to stand in a very long line for two items I know will be there after the rush.
What I really wanted to do was compare a Barraki canister's size to a Toa Inika's; alas, the store had no Inika with which to do so. Something I don't like is that the "lid" is on the bottom, but the canister isn't see-through like the Rah
For some reason, people feel compelled to be the starter of something big: something they can put their name on (not just here but in real life). In Completely Off Topic, I guess this big thing would fall on games and official topics because they need to be approved. Maybe people want to have their name on things like that, but the truth is:
People aren't going to think about who started an official topic: that's not why those topics exist. Those topics exist to talk about certain (usually ve
One thing I've wanted to do years ago was to visit LEGOLAND in California, though I never had the money or any other reason to visit the state before now, so I didn't really think much about it. But this week I am here in the city of Los Angeles, visiting some friends, and part of my plan is to go to LEGOLAND. I'm looking forward to it. It wasn't the reason I came out here, but I figured since I'm in California, I might as well make the trip to the theme park. I don't know if I'll get another ch
Something I heard through the grapevine: I'm glad someone else enjoyed seeing my MOCs in person: there's so much more joy for people to see the actual things and not just pictures I took myself. It doesn't just make me happy: others get to enjoy a possible work of art.
That's probably what makes Brickfest so great. Even if there weren't any contests, it's one time a year when people get to share what they've built, etc. by more than just digital representation. Shipping is a small price to pa
Gah, that song by Weird Al "Phony Calls" makes me feel old; part of the lyrics is "Please stick to the seven-digit numbers you're used to." I remember when that was a valid statement... you young 'uns probably don't even remember when a phone number was fewer than ten digits.
Of course, programming speed dial just makes you lazy and able to dial more quickly... we use to have to make a phone call by turning a wheel just above the numbers: it was called a "rotary dial." (It's true.) Well, I
Hmm, that sounds like a bad reality/game show.
Anyway, I was thinking about how the young ones that are forced to go to school (college and beyond is a choice). What saddens me is that as we get older, their summers seem to get shorter. It has nothing to do with time flying or anything: it has to do with shortening the allotted length. At the rate things seem to go each year, July might soon be the only month they get off.
Oh well, you should enjoy it while it lasts, no matter how brief, b
Wow, I haven't actually logged in here in about 3 weeks, though I have visited. I guess that happens with life sometimes... granted, I'm wasting too much time on other sites and stuff. So I'm not sure the value of that trade off.
Life's chugging along at a steady pace: 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour. I can't believe May is just about over. Soon July will be here, and I still need to get things done before I skip town.
In the mean time, I ran across this character recently...
I still remember the first video game my siblings and I ever owned and played: Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. For many a time, we were stuck in Lost Woods near the beginning; until for some reason, I got this crazy idea to sprinkle some of that Magic Powder on that stupid raccoon. Lo and behold, a new world was suddenly opened up to us... until level three, which my sister figured out how to enter that one. Needless to say, I have owned and/or played every version of Zelda that has come out
The moment of truth is only a matter of time away.
No, I'm not going to Brickfest, but I'm finally close to completing all the MOCs I planned to build for the event (working on the last one), which means revealing them to the public is soon to follow (individually or collectively hasn't been fully decided yet). All will be explained in due time.
Though they're probably nothing spectacular, some of them aren't too bad; in fact, I really like some of them. Considering how many there are, the
