You know how, a while back, I asked if people would read a comedy featuring my dad in the BIONICLE universe? It has begun. (that's a link) Features Sumiki's Dad (of course), as well as a few members of Team Farm Animals in the beginnings of a gripping adventure.
That's probably the first (non-50th-special) episode of Doctor Who that I've legitimately enjoyed since Asylum of the Daleks. The new intro is horrid, though. The music sounds like a compressed tinny mid-90s MIDI bandbox and no one can tell me otherwise. Murray Gold still does good incidental music but good grief get Danny Elfman on the intro.
A collaboration between Pablo (Zatth) and I at this year's BFVA for the Mini-Con. I did the hats and we both scrounged the vendors for the rest of the parts (although he came up with more of the body parts than I did).
A consultation with the oral surgeon this morning ended with us being informed that our insurance didn't cover anything in "pediatric dentistry." Never mind that I'm eighteen and that this operation was covered literally yesterday when we called to check. Fortunately the latest X-ray shows that my second and third molars have managed to lodge themselves in such a way that they'll stay in their current positions indefinitely. I'll have to wait at least a year to get the teeth out.
So, like many other people, I have a mouth, and it's pretty handy. Aside from brushing and using it to eat I haven't really given it much thought since I got my braces out about four years ago. Until a few days ago. There wasn't as much of what I'd call pain in as much as a consistent throb for the better part of the day. This brought back into focus a really strange bit of my anatomy: stubborn teeth. My baby teeth didn't fall out until much later than they should have - some of them still h
A grocery store near where I live had a massive fireworks sale many years ago. Of course, in North Carolina you can't just go and buy real fireworks - although many people make a trek south to bring back the goods for their Fourth of July and New Year's parties. Thus, the grocery-brand stuff was nearly always on sale and went on a huge clearance. Fortunately, we stocked up, since we never saw them for sale again. We shot all of the small ones off. At most, they shot sparks and colors up about
I sincerely congratulate -Windrider- and the rest of the gang for knocking out something that was long overdue. (Come to think of it, Takuma is probably much happier than I am.) Over the years, I've heard many people discuss changing the word filter. Heck, I knew people were kicking around that idea when I joined nearly eight years ago; Taka-Tahu-Nuva mentioned to me that discussions were going on back when I sent him updates to the BBCC History topic. It was full of what were, objectively, bi
| | In addition to my Kongu Mahri, I've picked up a number of Zatths over the years at various BrickFairs. Four of the five I used in this MOC, an homage to everyone's favorite Forum Assistant newbie, The Zatthman. The red arm represents the gauntlet that he has worn at every BrickFair that I can remember, and the little weapon in his other arm is supposed to be a Star-Lord-esque weapon that he made at this past 'Fair. #teamfarmanimals
