I don't know what about this week just made it unbearable. Maybe it was recovering from BrickCon, which I could've used two more days to catch up on sleep. (That much pure AWESOME wears you down). Could be that classes were unrelenting even in a second week... and half these classes are beginner courses. Jeez, I'd hate to be a Freshman right now... talk about broken spirit. Or maybe it was my 300 level class where the home work was over stuff we didn't actually cover in class. (For the re
Ha, if you thought this was about some video game I was playing, YOU'RE WRONG! This is about the game I'M MAKING! So, a few blog posts back (wait, only three posts ago? Man, I need to update this more) I asked for artists who'd want to help me make this Flash game. No one responded. But that's okay, cause I DON'T NEED Y'ALL and I made the artwork myself. And then I added animation and code and clicky stuff and things. It's a game!! Okay, it's not 100% completed. If I'd give it a perc

So for the past 10 weeks I have been partaking in the Reverse Engineering Contest IV on Flickr. It's been my first real Flickr contest, and it's been interesting to interact with a different community of builders. Anyway, the idea was the host would post some small, convoluted Lego design and we would have to show how it was built. Lots of odd dimensions, from 1/2 plates to 1/4 plates to mind-numbing 1/8 plates. Not a lot of room for technic, mostly system. But it's been fun. There would be two
Yep, I've finally posted it. My summer epic, featuring Kulagi and some of his pals, is now on-line.
Kanoka Makers of Metru-Nui
I have about eight chapters written, so I'll post those daily until I run out. I had to create some title pictures, but I finally did that, so now the topic is up and the review topic is waiting for replies. If you've read Kulagi's Kanoka, you'll find this one to have some interesting Vahki chases and fight scenes. Plus, plenty of Kanoka action. And even bett

Warehouse 13 premiers tomorrow! Which means I'll be watching it on Hulu in two days. But since I've been waiting all year fo this, it doesn't bug me too much.
Also, late nights working means fewer people to chat with when I get home and get online. My new phone has Internet, but I am not paying for texting, so chatting is pretty much out of the picture.
Also, I should really enter my BBC Contest entry tomorrow. If I blow off posting it again, I won't have time to enter if before the

Gee, talk about the worst possible Lego habit... Anyway, I've bought three recent Star Wars sets: Death Star Planet Set, Endor Battle Pack, and Droid Escape. Of these, only the TIE Interceptor has a decent built; the speeders in the other two sets are kinda meh, as is the escape shuttle and tree in general. The figs on the other hand are nice. Black TIE Pilot, Storm Trooper, Sand Troopers, Scout Trooper. (Those are the correct names, right?) Plus, I now have the droids I was looking for.
Topic Here Reiterating what I said there: it's not the best mosaic, but I made it relatively quickly with what I had on hand. (And I've officially used the last of my baseplates. I mean, seriously, I sent 4 of them to BrickFair and then made the lenticular cheese slope mosaic, I was lucky I had a spare to begin with.) It's going to be at BrickCon. Not as exciting as previous Bionicle group mosaics we've put up, but nobody really seemed interested in collaborative projects this year, so I've

BBC Topic! Look at me, I made a MOC! Since the CCBS characters came out, I've been wanting to build a to-scale ship for some of them. Lego's finally doing it with the speeder bike this summer, but that's a pretty small vehicle; I want a huge TIE Fighter and a massive XWing piloted by Vader and Poe, or something like that. The idea is doable, but a bit out of my price range at the moment. When this contest rolled around, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do this scaled down. My fi

ARR! This ain't me crew! Edit: Oh come on, that picture's hilarious. Why no comments? Did I not make it clear enough this was for Talk like a Pirate Day??
And it's Mystery on Keli-Nui. It's the story that I entered for the Epics Mystery contest that I got few comments on, so I'm going to try again to get few to no comments! And I realize that I'm totally copying Spirit as he's reposting his epic from that same contest (which was a pretty good one and deservingly placed higher than mine) but I was totally contemplating reposting this at the beginning of the month, so I'm not entirely copying him. Actually, it has to do more with finishing repo

LOOK I POSTED A TOPIC IN GENERAL ART!! It's the Toa Mata driving a Monster Truck on the Moon Titan. Because this totally fits with the current theme. Some of you might counter this, cause there isnt any apparent conflict between the Monster (truck) or Titan (the moon) BUT THERE IS. And I will break down the categories. ATMOSPHERE: Titans atmosphere is primarily made up of methane and ethane gases, which are totally not breathable to humans. Since the Monster truck has an opened cab, the
Frickin' dorm rooms.
It's below freezing outside, but sunny. And the sun's making this room too hot. I even opened the windows, but it's not helping! ARRHG!
Y'know, I've pretty much stopped doing blog set reviews anymore. No, it's always "Hey, go to the front page and see what I posted."
But yeah, I think these pictured turned out a little better. Has something to do with using my parents better camera, and photo editing using the newest and coolest Photoshop. (My old Paint Shop Pro is from like 05 or something... but that program was still easier to use to crop / resize images quickly, so I did use it too)
But yeah, review up. Whatdoya
Tis been a loooooooong day. Longer than usual. Early morning group meet-up thingy, and then late night class. Normally I sleep in on Mondays. And if I could have my way, I'd sleep in everyday. The world really shouldn't start operating until after 11 AM.
In Lego related news... um, my sub is still incomplete. But I have paid for BrickFair registration now. Add that to the plane tickets, and I happen to know a guy who knows a guy who knows that I know a guy who can drive us around DC.
