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

Is it not remarkable what ancient men left behind on earth to teach us?
This ancient pictograph was recently uncovered in the caves of Nottinghamshire, England. Researchers at Oxford University confirmed it to be a depiction of a primitive blog entry, much like the one seen here. But wait -- the enlightening parallels between ancient and modern humans do not stop there. Just as the simple painting above was signed "Gorak first hunt," so too did this blog entry

Well, we officially have a new member of the family.
You mean I'm finally gonna have a baby brother?
No...nothing quite like that...and I already have a little brother, thank you.
It's this cat. Now named Shadow. I'm sure I mentioned it a few entries ago. We pretty much confirmed it's ownerless when we teamed up with a neighbor to find it's old address. At first we traced a phone number through whatever serial number Shadow had on her collar. That line was

I haven't blogged in a while, have I?
It's a miserablely cold, dreary, dark day outside. Man, I just felt like crud today. I was alright early in the morning, so I went to my classes, but I began to feel weak and achey in school around eleven. That stank. Never try carrying a 1300-page lit book or a Bible in your backpack while walking through the halls when you're in that condition. It still hasn't gone away, either. I just feel...tired. And it's not just gettin

Made a sweet new animated sig today that links to my blog . Also updated my hit list, as you can clearly see to your bottom right.

Forgot yesterday's entry. Oops.
The past few days have been a good break from school, homework, travel. It's been really nice. I'm finally getting to relax.
Yesterday my dad came back from Target with Toa Hewkii. Of course, I've been bugging him about getting the Toa Inika from S@H (why would I use my own money? I'm horrible ). So he decided to give me a little "preview," I guess . I posted a gallery.

Happy Easter, everyone! I obviously don't have as much time for this blog nowadays, but I have to say something on Easter!
I'm happy. I have no school for the rest of the week. My birthday's tomorrow. I can drink soda again after denying myself that pleasure for all the forty days of Lent. Are you happy, too? I hope you are.
Summer's on its way. I see myself sprinting down the home stretch, waiting eagerly for the months during which I don't have to wake up at 6:45

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?

Federation of Fear 5 was posted on www.bioniclestory.com today.
This update is full of energy. Sailing south from Zakaz, Brutaka and Lariska now head the Steltian ship south in order to pick up a hidden weapons cache needed to arm the team at last. The original location for the pickup, scouted out by the Order of Mata Nui, used to be a small, wooded island off the southern continent. When Botar and the nine-foot warrior from the ninth chapter of the Gali Nuva Blog,

"Stupid Freshmen" - that's my motto this year. I swear, I think they sometimes regress to the age of five at times. When I was waiting for the train after school today, they were yelling about nothing, harassing each other for no reason, piggy-back riding...pretty strange. I don't think I did that. Or did I?

Typping is very hard right now. I've totally lost my left arm. See, at the end of scghool, I had to carry my celloo through the halls and through the brutally cold outdoors to our car in order to bring it home for a concert tomorrow. I had to carry this huge instrument in its case in pone arm while carrying my music folder and in the other, ALL the while csrrying my heaqvy backlpack on my shoulders. Well, that weight of my cello and the freezing temperastures iof the ou

For a Friday the thirteenth, my day wasn't so bad.
This morning, I didn't have to do carpool because something came up with the other guys. That's a very good thing because I REALLY HATE CARPOOL (I'm sure I'm not alone on that). So my dad drove me to school. Interestingly, I saw some unfortunate that I know from my old grade school get pulled over on the ride to school. So it seems some people were not blessed with a fairly good day today like I was. Well, I was alm

I was reading through my ancient PMs to GregF, and my face was figuratively turning red as I noticed how obviously I was searching for the clearest, most congenial way to say "Hello, Greg" and "Thank you, goodbye" and never quite finding it, sounding more like I was supplicant to him for his almighty knowledge. Alright... I'll give you an example:
Granted, it gets a lot better after that, and that's really tame compared to other PMs I've encountered in which th

Whew! Just got back from my big trip out-of-state, from a week before last Thursday to just a couple of hours ago. All that time I was completely cut off from TV ( ), computers/internet access (double ), and anything related to BIONICLE in any way ( ). I've missed so much...
Hey, I've got an idea now. Remember that Bionicle history thing I said I was starting on? I think I will post it here. It could be kept here in this blog as reference.
Thus, I am creating a new category -- Reference -- to create my own articles on the Bionicle storyline. If the search feature would ever start working again on BZP, people would even be able to search for any quick answers to story questions they have if I've happened to post the answers here. The gears are turnin' in my head.

If at first you don't succeed, you're in good company. Yesterday I finally beat Halo 2 in legendary mode, earning the highest level status "The Great Journey on Legendary" in my profile.
It feels great not to be haunted by failure anymore, if you know what I mean. Beating the first Halo on legendary this summer was no problem. It was fun. It was great knowing that every time I sat down, I would at least get past the next checkpoint. Halo 2 was different, however. W

I have returned from a small voyage to a couple states away to pick up my brother from band camp. I just came back last night with my dad. My brother decided to stay in the area with my mom for a while to have some vacation fun because he's crazy. As for me, I have to write a three-page paper for summer school today. Yahoo.
I also have to say that I got Axonn and Brutaka at last on Thursday. I had no idea Brutaka was so much taller than Axonn.
And don't forget to consi

It looks like I'm going to be leaving today. I won't be back until a week after Saturday (if not, one day before). This isn't good for me because I'll be gone on all of the days I'm supposed to buy my books for next year. What really maddens me is how lightly my parents are taking that :angry: . They are doing nothing to plan my getting my books before school starts.

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.

Hi! Wow, Planeterson has actually reappeared in his blog! Raise your hand if you noticed I was gone!
See, its just past one where I am, but I cant sleep. Well, I havent actually tried to lie in bed yet, so I guess I just dont want to sleep. And now Im blogging. Just like the previous entry -- same hotel, same WiFi, just opposite directions. So Im coming home tomorrow. Oops -- tonight, it is now.
Sunday, August 27, 2006
...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 finally my last day of school. I finished my Greek exam, and now I get a week between now and the start of summer school.
Does anyone else check the Official Greg Discussion daily? That's part of what I do every day after school; I'm just wondering if anyone else pays close attention to it.

Hey there, . As you probably noticed, I've introduced a system in my blog called Category 472. It's a Bionicle storyline reference index that I will expand upon over time. As of now, I have already posted four articles. The purpose of these articles is to put the Bionicle mythos into my own words, perhaps helping anyone looking for answers where perhaps sites like Bionicle.com, BS01, or BZP didn't provide. It's actually kinda fun, organizing this vast amount of organi
