No, no, the Festivus story is still stick in the legendary pre-production nightmare. It'll be Festivus in March at the earliest, folks. Sigh.
I'm here about something that's ahead of schedule, actually. You see, last year, around this time, I did this thing based on the Japanese Girls' Festival. That'd be Zinia and Samantha there. The dolls are based on various BBC people. Yeah, okay, I know Tok was long gone from BBC by that time. I needed a third person for that spot.
So, here we are thi
So, one might say that the opinions on the sets shown at Toy Fair are a bit passionate. That's fine. Passion's fine. Looking at things as a whole is fine.
But cripes. Take a look at the playsets, folks. Do you not notice those beautiful little things?
Black whips.
It is glorious.
A little poem thing about various puffin-Vahki, you see. To keep sharp and all that.
A is for Amy, her voice a great drawl,
B is for Beatrice, her tattoos and all.
C is for Coraline, more curious than wise,
D is for Desdemona, the throne in her eyes.
E is for Eleanora, a great drain on mood,
F is for Freya, the source of the feud.
G is for Guinevere, her pathways askew,
H is for Hecate, whose mercies are few.
I is for Imogen, destructor of polls,
J is for Juliana, far too fond of
I think I'm having one of those days.
You know, those days where you wouldn't be caught dead in public with your minions? When disownage is the most attractive option? Those days where you just want to grab a big mug of hot chocolate, curl up on the sofa with the List of Heredity, and take the red DQing Sharpie to a couple names?
No? That's fine. It's okie. It's not exactly something I'd wish on people.
In any case, that's the sort of day I'm having. This is what I get for building up h
If you'll look to your right, you'll see a shiny new content block. You get three guesses as to which one it is.
I've had the idea for a while now, but it took the suggestion of such by one BCii to get me seriously thinking about it. Now, here it is. Some of the stuff's super-old, and some hasn't even been posted ever. Not only has it all been gathered up, but it's also in an assumedly continuous order. Hurrah.
So?
Well, she ain't.
An overview of things, because I have a million-plus-one different things I need to catch up on. I swear, I turn my back for a second, and...
First, the contest. The first thing to suffer the blow of surprise home renovations. I have been told what happened, though. I'm disappointed, folks. I can't really bring myself to say a whole lot more. Just know that there are a lot of you I am disappointed in.
Next, promotions. Namely, my getting a whole new minion. I've got som
So I was going through my stuff in one big blitz of speed-get-stuff-out-of-room-ing last night, and I saw some things in there.
For one thing, while dealing with my closet? Skirts. Also, dresses. Yes, in that very closet. And on the desk? Jewellery box. With things like bracelets and necklaces in it. Some of these had flowers and stuff on them. Let's not even get into the Clikits I found scattered across the room. And then the nail polish... I've been thinking about it all day, but only now h
Well, it does. Twenty more days, give or take. This year, we're gonna do it right: we're gonna get an actual pole and everything.
Oh, don't tell me you thought I was kidding all this time... Why would I jest about something like this?
Anyhow, I have this idea for this semi-massive Festivus picture story. I missed out on executing it last year, and I'm not keen on missing the boat this year. It's got a PTA in it and everything. They are psycho. Phone calls are made.
If only my adapter/ch
I await the events of a week from now. Oh yes.
On another note, people who prebuild MOCs for the contests before they even get the theme are in for quite the shocker this time around. You're not gonna be able to just slap a relevant name on it this time, folks. Oh no.
Are these two things related? Maybe. Maybe not. I just needed to blog.
It is fast. It is sleek. It sounds like the wind and nothing rougher. It is barren of all those weird programs my brother downloads, sticks on the C: drive (despite dad's pleas 1) not to go downloading random stuff like that and 2) to not stick stuff on C: anyway), and never uses after the first week. It is pure.
In the traditional Piyufi naming system, it is Transframe. It is the successor of Ultraframe, which in turn was used right up to last night.
It is beautiful.
Also, we stopped r
So there is this thing I do, you see. All done for the glory of scale and not taking up all the good pieces in a few MOCs, which in turn is related to having more than three or four characters built at any one time. So they're what one may call Toa modifications. So what? They are to me as Megos are to those wonderful, wonderful brilliant genius comedic masters at Toyfare.
Anyhow. In each folder, as with just about every other folder I have in my gallery, I have a line or two or three outlini
I ran into someone who I know on the bus today. Well, that isn't exactly right. To be exact, someone who I apparently know recognized me and struck up a conversation. I then proceeded to feel absolutely awful in the back of my head whilst continuing a conversation up front. Eventually, I got off the bus, and all was well.
This isn't the first time this has happened, either. I have been stopped by people who knew me in kindergarten - kindergarten - and recognized me. I then manage to keep from
So, I have this blog. I also haven't posted anything in this blog for a while. I also also have this MOC. I am not especially attached to making a topic for it just to send my post count up a tiny bit. As well, the text and meaning behind the MOC would be more at home in a blog entry than in a topic. Therefore, the solution is to post an entry about it.
Rectification
As we all know, Bionicle is a subset of the general Lego realm. It also isn't an especially loved one (outside of the whole
Exhibit six.
Once again, see entry title. Schizo seems to have no right/his-left shoulder. That's not the same brush I stumbled across so very long ago for grass. It's generally... I dunno. And I know I'll never get around to posting a topic for this. So, here.
Also made a wallpaper out of it, mostly because I've been staring at the same awful image for at least over a year. If you really want to see it, exhibit seven. Quite happy with the sky gradient, though. At least I have that.
So
First of all, if you post spoilers for book #13 of A Series of Unfortunate Events, you will face full modly wrath. Seriously. Not even in tags; you know people can't resist temptation. Every single part of that book is something that one should be first exposed to as they read it. I'd have killed if anyone told me any of the big things that went on.
So, that said, I'd just like to announce this:
I so called Beatrice's history.
For years, at that. Since the Unauthorized Autobiography fir
Exhibit five.
Based on the first story in the whole project thing (yes, that's done and yes, I'm working on the second one). Once/if you've read the story, you'll see what's up with this picture. Also why I left it kinda sketchy. Hey, it was a rough day.
Speaking of which, I should really wrap up that second story soon. Then I'll have to decide if I'm still going to wait for a minimum of three finished stories (not counting intro seen earlier in this blog) before posting the topic in Come
As noted in the previous entry, I've been a BBC moderator for three years as of today. I've seen a lot of MOCs in that time. It'd be madness to try and work out how many (though it would be a fun rainy-day project). I've seen a lot of not-so-fantastic MOCs, but I haven't turned to the System-side philosophy that 'nothing good can come of Bionicle parts' in the least. I've seen an incredible number of generic humanoids-with-weapons of every quality, but I haven't given up on the imagination of th
So three years ago today, I became a moderator. Standard blue-type, nothing too fancy yet. I go in Sets; considering the catalogue wounds were still fresh, a given. Movies and Books; hey, Mask of Light just came out, the place needed all the help it could get. BBC... I'd actually been poked towards asking for BBC, and since I didn't know what in blue blazes I wanted in terms of forums, I figured 'what the heck.'
Over time, I picked up Artwork and G&T, got assigned to Artwork II through th
The computer I'm currently using is making some rather strange sounds. Not exactly healthy sounds, either. I'm hearing some raspiness and some fast-paced waspish humming and this thing is about two feet away from both torso and head. Monitor is aimed directly at my face, and I have my doubts about that component as well. Should either part blow, it's goodbye Jennifer. It'd freak out some Grade Eights, though, so it wouldn't be entirely pointless.
They marched us to the 'mainland' earlier this
Coronation Street. Yes, I watch it. Before making a snarky comment on that, I remind you who has the Global powers here.
But oh cripes. Mike. It's absolutely heartrending watching his current story... We just got up to the point where he's sitting outside the restaurant. It's such a scary thing in real life, and even seeing a dramatisation of it...
At least we got some good Battersby time out of that episode, too.
And, um, yeah, please be with the not-discussing of specific plot bits.
The location of a related picture. Oh, Photo-Paint.
Yes, yes, I'm alive, huzzah. Haven't had much to blog about lately, is all. But now I have the above to show you. Oh yes. Working on the people portion as we speak. That should be fun. Also conversion of the picture into a desktop. Cripes do I need a new desktop.
Oh, and also finished one of them stories for the comedy portion. Hurrah. Now to start on some more. Not posting that thing until I get at least three done, you see. Two to go...
A brief one, too, since the longer I go on, the more likely it is I'll spoil something.
So I saw 'Snakes on a Plane' yesterday. It's a fantastic movie, provided that you're old enough (no encouragement to fly in the face of the ratings system here... sorry, folks). Don't go in expecting high cinema, and you're gold.
Anyhow. So I'd heard some things about how it was filmed here in Vancouver. Okie. Lots of things are filmed here. Lots of funky things. Wouldn't be too surprising. Thing is, th
What a fantastic concept indeed. And they're all mine, too. Get yer hands away from my ninja puffins.
And here's some now. Well, just three ninja puffin doodles, really. There's also a guy with a hat, a ninja puffin sword, random shark-thing, and a bit of Orthano going 'huh'. Still, there are ninja puffins in there, and that is what is important.
That is all.
(man, Othie looks baffled)
Exhibit four: random tablettings. Mostly formal wear-type things, some architecture. Also a random ninja puffin, for the heck of it. Haven't drawn a ninja puffin in a long time. Now I have, so it's all swell.
So yeah. Clearly this isn't the normal day-to-day wear. I can't imagine any of the stuff up there being suitable for work in the field. Still, sometimes the situation arises where you gotta look nice, and then it's time to somehow get the princes into their suits (back/front shown, for c
Imagine, if you will, a really big city. That'd be the island system of BZ-Metru. Now imagine a city within that city. Well, a few cities, anyways. In this instance, we're talking about one of the bigger ones. It's big, it's old, and it's beautiful. And I'm not biased, I swear. It's the BBC Empire. And it's mine.
Alright, technically it isn't just mine, but still.
Those that I do share it with, well... There's a few things I could say about 'em. Love 'em all, though. Don't get me wrong. I'
