Evilness In Paper...

Tonight just is not my night. This weekend hasn't been a great weekend. Uhg.   Anyway, tonight I'm struggling to write this paper. I have some basic ideas, but I just don't know where to begin. Typically, it's due tomorrow.   And what's even worst is that I shouldn't have to write it either...   It's for a drama class... I already struggled through one paper on a performance last week. But we were suppose to be able to get out of writing the second paper if we ushered for a play... basic

And The Category Is...

I made some custom category blocks for the side of my blog. I'll see how they work... they add a nice bit of color, but are probably a bit too big. (In case you haven't realized it yet, I've reduced the size of my side bar to 200 pixels, because the standard one [is it 300?] always messes with people's sigs and stuff, giving me posts that I can't completely read in my entries. [And those longer posts are also the ones I want to read too! ] Unfortunately, setting the pict size to 200 wasn't

Are you saying there's something wrong with my weapon choice?   I'm just saying this duel may be unfair...

My B-day Pictures...

Did I mention I spent an hour of my time on my B-Day just taking pictures of myself? Nope? Well, I have now. Afterwards I had to study... but this was the most fun I had that day. (I'm making up for it by having an amazing weekend this weekend.)   In other news, I got a haircut today. Turns our I was suppose to ask for the razor blade 4 instead of two... and here I was thinking it was 3. Well, it'll grow back, and on the plus side, I can not more easily fit my head inside my hat.   Click

My B-day Present...

Just a recap... last Sunday was my birthday. All of you who idolize me should know that and celebrated the day like a holiday. So far, nobosy fits under that catigory... but I'm sure you'll all make it there eventually. [/vain]   One of my biggest woes on my b-day was that I didn't get this package sent by my mom. She aparently paid express shipping on the 2nd, and it was suppose to arrive on the 3rd. Instead, it appparently "arrived" on the 5th, but wasn't placed in my mailbox until the 6

Birthday Blues...

I dunno how many people got the "Horoscope" reference was to get people to realize that it was my B-day, but it didn't seem to work all that well.   Anyhow... tis probably been the worst birthday ever. Thanks to everybody on BZP who gave my birthday well-wishes, that was nice, but I didn't get a topic. (selfishness alert!!) My parents apparently sent me a package, but no mail on Sunday. Oh yeah, and I have like a TON of homework. I finished most of my chem homework (with a lot of help

My Horoscope For Today...

Scorpio Get ready for an unexpected trip, when you fall screaming from an opened window. Work a little bit harder on improving your low self esteme... you stupid freak. That's your horoscope for today... ay ay ay ay! That's your horoscope for today!! Horoscope for Today ~ Weird Al Yankovic I liked some of the other perdictions better (The stars say you're a exciting and wonderful person... but you know they're lying).

The Ideal Gas Law...

I just used this as a lame joke in <dd>'s blog, and that got me thinking of another lame joke that could take up a whole entry in MY BLOG! How could I resist, really? Besides, I have nothing else to add besides complaining....   As you should know, the Ideal Gas Law is...   PV=nRT  Here's how it applies to college life.   (Peer Pressure) * (Volume of Homework) = (Number of pounds I've gained by eating way too much greasy food) * (constant stress) * (temperature of fever)     Okay

Halloween

In case you didn't completely get the message... Yeah, this is some old artwork I created years ago. It's not quality... but it's festive enough. Happy Halloween... go eat a bunch of candy too.

What To Worry About In College.

Here's what I care about in college... in this exact order.   When do I have to get to my next class? When can I sleep (or can't sleep)? When and where can I eat? When can I check out my e-mail (and BZP)? When is my homework due? When am I going to crack? (I got really close to this last week when I fell ill)   Another noteworthy thing: although people have been nagging me to use one for the past five years, I have still not made much use of my day planner. I don't write down many assig

Lego Mars Mission Game

I was messing around with the new Lego club features when, somehow, I got into their catalogue of games, and I randomly clicked on the new "Mars Mission" one to see what it was about. Turns out it's one of those strategy games, but this one is slightly different. It's a stratigy game that I can beat. It reminds me most of that Alpha Team Frozen Land game thingy... maybe not as good, but still reminisant. It's a pretty good game, with enough strategy to make it interesting, but not too much s

Highest Of The Lowest!

AC 14 Preliminary voting is done... and of course I'm out of it by then. If fatc, I'm pretty sure I was out of it by the time I entered. ZPeople don't like my artwork.   But I still made an acomplishment that only ever gets held by one person during these contests.   I got the lowest votes of all the comic entries!   Yes, in both topics (okay, so maybe it isn't that great of achievement, but still) I had the lowest amounts of votes for my artwork. And this wasn't a case of "well, I just ha

Moderators...

Am I going to post some helpful BZP tip that has to do with current rule breaking situations that will, in turn, help people better understand the situation and avoid trouble in the future?   Heck no, I'm no good at those. Besides, all the good points are taken.   Then what on Mata-Nui is this title about?   Get this. For my Freshman Interest Group in college (AKA FIG) (BTW, I'm now again a freshman, on the low end of the spectrum. But, hey, I was still able to talk with an upperclassman (

Power Point Art

I cannot be outdone by Bonesiii, at least when it comes to this. I recently read this Blog Entry by Bonesiii, which is an excellent guide on how to make art using the tools available in MS Power Point. But it's nothing new to me, I've been doing it for years. Case in point is my Artwork Contest 14 entry, which is justly losing in this poll. I do believe I entered that before Bonesiii's blog, so I assure you I did not just steal his idea and go somewhere with it.   Why have I never shown any

My Thoughts On The 2008 Set Previews

I'm too lazy to add spoiler tags. Just scroll down yourself...   Oh, and SPOILER ALERT!       WEEE OOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!     SCREEEEEEEECH!     BAAAAAARRR BAAAAAAAARR     AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH   HOOOOOOOOONK HOOOOOONK!   Ba ba da da ta ba da, dum do de da dum da du....             That enough for the annoying sound effects?

Thoughts On Comedies And Epics

Recenty, I have read a topic on Comedies and a topic on Epics in General Discussion. In the Comedy topic, people are bashing comedies because of their general lack of quality. (Which to an extent I agree upon) In the epics topic, people are naming off their favorite topics (mine never got mentioned... in fact, most I've never heard of before. (Yeah, I am not that great of a mass reviewer anymore)) But there was something that irked me off in both topics.   The way people protrayed their ow

American Pie

The song, of course.   Anyhow, my current crave in music right now is Weird Al parody songs, and he's done a parody called "Saga Begins" of "American Pie" by Don McLean. The parody is a retelling of Star Wars I: The Phantom Menis. The lyrics are pretty cool, and I memorized most of them by now. But it's so cool how the parody is so close to the original song, which I have listened to before but never paid too much attention to.   So, I bought (legally on Zune) the original "American Pie", a

Naming Chemicals

First of all, I'm sure this is an easy problem, because it was on first course Chem class homework. I'm stil allowing myself to be stumped, so if any of you brilliant chemists want to step in and show off your grand knowledge, feel free to, but don't go bashing my lack of intelegence, because I'm fragile.   (Okay, don't know exactly where that disclaimer went to, but let's get to the point now)   Problem on Homework.   Name this Compound.   Na2HAsO4   What is it?   I have no idea.

New Avatar. Huh?

I just made myself a new avey.     Why? I dunno? 'Cause I can, since all the Powerpoint files where I made Lego heads is now on a computer wth output devises. Anyway, here it is. That's the expression I've been practicing fo a while now, and wanted to see if I could make a visual copy of what I have going on in my head (how I imagine the expression). All I changed was the eyebrow, eye shape, and mouth. They kinda work, but not quite what I'm looking for. I seem to be thinking of some

Tidbits From Seattle...

Some interesting things frm NW Brickcon this weekend that I encountered... The bus ride to the Seattle Center area where the exibition was held and the University district (where I am) is roughly thirty to forty minutes... depends on if they raise the draw bridge. It helps if I'm zoned out to music. The MOCs at the Bionicle table are completely awesome. Coincidentally, everybody I heard called 'em Mocks and not M-O-Cs. Hmm. There was alot more going on on the Titanic model than the movie su

The Many Forms Of Me.

Okay, I went to the NW Brickon today. I struck it rich this year for Lego conventions. When I was down by Portland, there was an event in Portland... when it's in Seattle, I happen to be in the city. (Which was good, because I was able to make a delivery that came too late for Brickfest 07, so I delivered it today). The MOCs were, as usual, amazing. I've seen alot of nice usage of pieces, as well as some of the new 07 pieces in action (from the Toa Mahri/ Titans). Yeah, from what I could

The Winning Entry?

Nope, probably not, but it is my first entry into an art contest, so that has to be worth something.   Since I'm unsure where I'd post an artwork topic (I don't want to do any research) I'll just do it here, because then the only people who'd review it in the first place will see it anyway. So, yeah.   First of all, problems you may find in this. Porportions are sometimes off from the body and limbs and mask, but many of them are very detailed. The Matoran, although sometimes looking clunky

Art Contest...?

But what? I suck at art! There's like no possible way I could do well in a contest like that!   Of course the same is true of BBC contests, and I've entered far too many of those.   Anyway, I have something new up my sleaves. In the past, on my computer-without-internet-connections-or-any-other-form-of-output-that-ran-off-MS-95, I used to make set drawings on Power Point. (Yes, if you know the right functions, you can make some really interesting shapes and characters... but it's alot hard

Relationship Songs

Think about it. Lots of popular songs have to deal with a significant other or a search for one. Sometimes, they’re love songs… two people meet randomly and like each other, and then there’s a nice melody and lyrics and everything to make it sound good and all. There are the breakup songs, songs about having that significant other cheat on them or walk out on them and all that. I don’t mind these songs… sometimes they’re really good songs, which are after all about the music and lyrics more
