WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

Is Pohatu a new colour, or is he burnt orange? If it's a new colour I'd be cool as long as we get more of it, but if it's burnt orange making a glorious return, I will throw money the at the screen.

Six months in, and poor news

Quick recap, six months ago I got pretty much the best thing that's ever happened to me, which was a sort-of diagnosis from the metabolic unit in Dublin. What they found is that I have SOME FORM of fatty-acid metabolism disorder, which is good, but it's not really a diagnosis in itself, because there's a big range of the disorders and I could have any one of them. Because of that, treatment so far has been extremely limited.   In a nutshell though, the problem is this: I can't metabolise fat pro

Old MOC time

1 | 2 | 3 | 4   No topic because Mr Tentacles was posted a couple of years ago and hasn't changed since, but I've been thinking for some time that I should rebuild and re-photograph my best MOCs, because they really deserve decent photographs, and I can do better now. It'll probably be a while before I do any more, but in the meantime, Mr Tentacles is back. Hope you all like.

BIONICE 2015

It's weird, I never thought I'd see the day BIONICLE would return, and I would have imagined I'd be more enthusiatic, but I'm not particularly moved one way or the other. I am happy though, because whatever new BIONICLE is like, it means A) new pieces for MOCs, and B) more activity for BZP. Here's to me making things again and more active days for BZP.

Brickfair

Because Zatth and Sumiki are the sweetest people ever, I may be getting a video tour of Brickfair at some point the next few days. So if you see someone being ferried around on an iPad, that's probably me and you should say hello. I wonder if I should be writing out some messages on pieces of paper or something.

Ask Brickeens

Seeing as these entries are a thing again, I might as well do it like I did back in 2010. So, ask me questions, and I'll hit you with a tennis racket.

How to do anything like Brickeens

Think about it for too long instead of doing it Second guess yourself constantly before during and after ???? Die inside because nothing you do is ever good enough

A thing that is happening

I've been meaning to mention this for a while, but a month or two ago a guy from town bought a field just down the road from where I live, and has since converted it into a grass airstrip for his microlight aircraft. This is funny enough in itself, seeing as I now live about 60 seconds away from an airstrip, but what's even better is that today my dad got talking to the owner, and he offered to take him up in the plane. I am just back from watching a two seater microlight take off with my dad in

Great and not great

This happened a while ago, but basically, a guy I know straight up offered me a job in his photography shop. He said he's having trouble doing all the work himself and that he'd teach me how to edit, print and frame photographs to a professional standard. It was an amazing offer, because I mean, it's not every day you just get offered a job, let alone a job you'd actually enjoy.   But of course I couldn't take it. I can still hardly cope with basic day to day life and there's no way I'd last wor

The Spire of Dublin

So I was in O'Connell street in Dublin a while back. If you've ever been to O'Connell street or anywhere near it, you'll know that we have this giant pointy metal thing called the Spire of Dublin, which is I guess the Irish Government's idea of a tourist attraction.     I've seen the Spire loads of times, and I've always thought it was a pretty bland idea for a monument. But last time, it hit me that there is actually a way to rectify the situation. Give me a Kaiju movie where a Jaeger rips out

Unexpected morning happenings

So I got out of bed this morning (and by "this morning" I mean "midday" because I was up late okay) opened my window for a bit of fresh air, and was greeted by a cat mewing at me from the path. I said hello, and next thing I knew it had jumped up and got in my window. I petted it a bit and then it jumped onto the floor and proceeded to scout my entire room out, because I guess that's what cats must do. It didn't seem in any hurry to leave so I let it up to the kitchen.     Long story short, I t

The new best news in forever

So if any of you remember, I got a skin biopsy a few months back. I thought they would have been well done with the sample by now, but they're still testing it, and it's ACTUALLY SHOWING STUFF UP DO YOU KNOW HOW GOOD THIS IS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?   It's complicated, but how I understand it so far: They've found my metabolism isn't breaking down fatty acids properly, which my doctor is excited about because apparently it explains so many things. Poor energy, dif
