Today I took a science test. I thought I was doing do well when I was taking it, but later I realized that I did horribly on the written part because an alpha-D-glucose bonded to a beta-D-glucose does not make sucrose! I'm gonna die on my finals.
Has anyone seen that movie called The Mission? How depressing.

I'm working on a project of piecing together the 2001 story. It's not always easy . There's huge gaps, inconsistencies... it turns out that the comics and books don't tell a whole lot of the story.

It's a scorcher B) . Really hot and humid. 'Twas a good day today to sit around and do nothing, and so nothing I did. Honestly, I don't know what was so great about today that's worth sharing.

Valentine's Day
DID YOU SEE TERMINATOR LAST NIGHT?
God that was funny, and a really amazing surprise. I'm sorry I missed the topic about it; I was away visiting a college. I got the sweetest room, with a flatscreen TV, to watch the second half of the returning episode of the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I learned that even if you've followed that show all the way from the first episode, you can still come in halfway and have totally no idea what's going on.
Oh boy, here we go. There are these creepy-looking images of Turaga Lhikan, a Piraka-like "thing," and a ...nother "thing." I hope with most sincerity that they are not real images. I mean, (and most people would agree with me), those sets look way too disappointing to be a product of Lego, don't they? If I wanted to make a set of Turaga Lhikan, I think I could do a little bit better. Confusing and frustrating. Just my reaction to the new news on BZP.

As I type, dozens and dozens of Quicktime movie files are being converted to iPod-acceptable .mpeg files through iTunes. For them, this is near the end of a long journey, a voyage from their original urls to my video iPod. The only problem is, however, that this near-final step will most likely take a few more hours to complete.
Ah, everyone loves the old quicktime movies that LEGO employs the European animation company Ghost A/S to produce every year. The movie

Entry 3 of the Mutran Chronicles was finally posted on www.bioniclestory.com today.
At the beginning of this chapter, Miserix's most trusted lieutenant, the Makuta of Metru Nui, has made his glorious triumph over the Barraki rebellion. However, Mutran and the female Makuta Gorast are sent to the northwest of the Barraki kingdom to clean away Kalmah's fortress. Gorast, although female, is known as a fierce warrior with a mind set on carnage, with a "spiky" pers

My family is gone all day, driving my brother to a band camp a couple states away. I'm alone now. But it's not so bad when it's just me and the computer!
It's getting close to that time when all of the Lego Magazines arrive in everybody's mailboxes. Unfortunately, I'm one of those sad people whose magazines don't come until weeks after people post the heck out of them on BZPower . I might have gotton my magazine really early once.

At last! The end! No more summer school ! And nobody will have to hear me complain and moan about the whole thing anymore, which has taken up like...what...80% of my entries in this blog so far? Seriously, take a look.

BARA MAGNA
• Greg: "The Agori are the native species of Bara Magna. They were not created by the Great Beings, like Matoran were, and they don't even know what a Great Spirit is. The robot pieces visible in the desert are from a Great Being project that never functioned."
• Spherus Magna didn't shatter slowly; it shattered quickly. The Great Beings were the first ones to realize it might happen.
• Greg: "Well, we know the planet Spherus Magna shattered into three piece

A week before last Tuesday, a new Battle for Power game for Tanma was put onto the Bionicle website. The player needs to reach the end of a long tunnel, moving forward only by pressing the up-arrow key for upward thrust while drifting forward. The player picks up powerups for speeding up and for refueling. Pressing the space bar causes Tanma to release a powerful light blast that destroys any Makuta in your way.

Must...finish...short story! I'm almost done, but I think I'm stretching it at this point for the contest. Today I visited both Barnes & Noble and Borders, and neither had BL#3 yet. This pursuit for this one little book has been very aggravating and frustrating. Anyone else felt this pain before?

The new Brickmaster Jan-Feb 2008 set has arrived in the mail. The Brickmaster subscription has always provided a bimonthly Lego set shipped in addition to its magazine. This year, it seems, Lego is sending out Lego sets that are entirely exclusive to the Brickmaster program. Indeed, the bag of this set (number 20001 -- promotional sets tend to have five-digit numbers instead of the usual four) lends no name to the set itself and has no other umbrella title on the pa

I am having the most rugged time reading this book. It's brutal. One of the most boring books I've ever had to read. And I'm on page 91/356. And I have to finish it by tomorrow. At this point, I'm actually forming a deep, personal hate towards the author :angry: .

Click here (iTunes software needed).
This is one of the (best) episodes of the Brickfilms.com podcast . I definitely have this on my iPod.
Here's the RealPlayer file: link.

OMG! The end of the fourth quarter and the end of the world, all in one day! I must study for science and math tonight, which is very hard when I get distracted by distant noises, lava lamps, the TV downstairs, the smell of food, dreams of summer vacation, etc.

...Gotta do homework today. That should be a crime! English, Science, Greek -- it's all hitting me at lightning speed again. I'm not ready for another school year :annoyed2: .

Today was ridiculously hot and humid, and so my two hours on the tennis courts was an inferno. I almost died. The only comfort I had out there was seeing the football campers running around and doing strenuous drills on the field in full padding/armor. Now that must have been torture. But I still suffered much more than I liked on that desert of concrete. My water heated up within a half-hour, my sides cramped while running...not pleasant.
The truth behind Benjamin Franklin's famous key-on-a-kite experiment: the electrical properties of lightning didn't matter as long as he became a Toa Inika.
I'm saying this now because we have some intense lightning up in the clouds. The silent kind, the kind that illuminates the whole sky and reveals awkward colors in the clouds. It's really eerie, like the beginning of War of the Worlds.

As is usual, I'm traveling away from home for Thanksgiving, and I should return home on Friday. I thought I should say that in case I ever miss a Friday to do the Farshtey Feed, I'll put it up the next day or as soon as possible -- basically I'm saying, I don't skip. Have a good holiday!

I took my science and math finals today. It's finally done! I actually completed my math test this time, which I am never able to do. I think I did okay on my science final too, because I knew almost everything that was on it.
I worked up my own translations of the Amazon.de website descriptions for the 2007 sets. Me and my dad (who is familiar with German) came up with these translations directly from the German source:
Mantax stalks his opponents in the darkness and grabs them from behind. He is equipped with thick armor; venomous, red spines; and sturdy forceps.
Carapar is twice as wide as he is long. With his long arms and enormous claws, he is able to overcome every obstacle. Thanks to his thick armor, he

I thought I would give you one (possibly final?) Farshtey Feed...
SPHERUS MAGNA
• The Great Beings created the Iron Wolves, as they did most things, as an experiment, not specifically for use in the Core War.
• The large northern forested region on Spherus Magna was located south of the Northern Frost. • There were only the six rival tribes we have already encountered who participated in the Core War.
• The Kaxium model was used in the Core War.
