Let me be clear for a second...

Until this sunday, the Vahi is -MINE.-   I shall cherish it for as long as it is in my household.   But I do hope someone wins it. MAYBE IT CAN BE YOU! YES YOU! Enter by clicking the Vahi image:

On the subject of targeted ads (and how it relates to me)

So, I can safely say that despite my best efforts, Google AdSense still found a way to find SOMETHING relevant to me, either through Facebook or basic Amazon searches. Regardless, it found something to advertise that I may have been interested in: Buying tickets to go to the EMP Museum in Seattle to see the Block by Block exhibit they have there. Sounds interesting!   Now I will first start by saying by all means, if you're in the great Pacific Northwest, go see it. Like seriously, go. Why do I

Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP

Just placed my order on shop@home, and I decided to apply some VIP points towards it. 1300 VIP points, to be exact. So yeah, I just bought the Spaceship for $38 after taxes.   ... I cannot wait for this set. It will be glorious.

EVERYTHINGISAWESOME

I just made my purchase of The Lego Movie off of Xbox Video, and it's downloading 7.3 GB to my 360 now.   Soooo I guess I'll be watching it tomorrow night?   Anybody else buying it digitally, or are you guys getting a physical copy?

Update on my collection and stuff

So yeah, I've been busy. ... Very busy ._.   On the plus side, I've had a lot of stuff happen. I kicked Sprint to the curb and signed with AT&T. In hindsight, I needed much more money than I had at the time to do this, but I'm confident it won't break me. Because of this, I ended up having to purchase a new phone. It was high time to replace it anyway. I decided to get a Nokia Lumia 1020, a wonderful choice I don't think I'll regret until probably halfway through the contract when the 1030 l

Interview and other stuff

So this week, I the opportunity to participate in interviewing a friend of mine. That'll get posted online within the week, so I'll be sure to share it. It's pretty relevant to BZP, actually.   In the other news, I've been working a bit more slowly since the Minewell project was finished, and so I've gained some time back to myself. I took the opportunity to rent and watch The Hobbit #2, then starting Lego The Hobbit. Didn't go too far into that yet, but it's already leaps and bounds ahead of Th

So that was a thing.

Maybe next year, when I say "I'm tired from working six weeks on a project under a strict deadline" someone will listen when they remember back to when I used both Toa V and Derpy Hooves to basically do absolutely nothing all day with.   That is all. Thank you and have a nice April 2nd.

Emerald City ComiCon Haul: Day Two/Three

So, I didn't go to ECCC yesterday, but I did get the chance to go today. Didn't buy much, but what I did buy is truly amazing. I also got to do something amazing. (Warning, large images.)     Basically, I got to chat with Stuart Sayger again, along with buying a Green Lantern print that he signed, then took a photo with him, and wore the Tower of Plimps on my brick badge for a brief time before packing it away.   Today was a good day.

Emerald City ComiCon Haul: Day One

Today was day one of Emerald City ComiCon. I didn't waste any time in this fac     Click for OneDrive folder I had both 2001 Comic #1 and 2006 Comic #1 signed by their respective artists. Stuart Sayger is an amazing guy to meet, and I regretting not having other comics for him to sign so I could justify more time just talking and getting to learn more. I may consider commissioning art for BS01 from him down the line.'   Carlos D'Anda was also very pleasant to meet, and I was in awe of his othe

The Tower of Plimps

Basically, it's a ToP. It's for the Minecraft scene my studio's been building that will be at Emerald City ComiCon.   And I had to fight an uphill battle just to even get this built. Seriously, nobody else knew about it except me. I'm just not regretting it at all.   Also to answer a question that will be asked, we got a lot of that gold brick from both the 50th anniversary tubs and the 2x2 came in those golden ornament packs.

Latest Lego purchase

So, I'm feeling pretty stoked with some of my buying options.   Tomorrow, I'm going to be buying an Iron Patriot (with gantry) from a friend. That's $22 well worth it right there.   After work, I'll be ordering the Eiffel Tower and Wyldstyle's motorcycle (I can't remember the direct set name off the top of my head) and a Joker keychain for my sister's birthday in June (eh, why not?) in addition to cashing in on the Martian Manhunter fig.   So yeah, that's 2 Superhero figs I'm getting for quite a

I can finally display my stuff!

So I should disclose, I have too much stuff. Like seriously, -too much stuff-. For about 10 years I only had one big shelf to work with. It wasn't nearly good enough to display anything with. So, now that I can officially say I am old enough to have whatever I desire, I bought 3 brand new bookcases for my room.   Basically, I cleaned up my room. Shocker for me, really.   Link to OneDrive folder (public for all, read only, no login required)   I took 9 photos in total, each showing one section of

Earworm songs

You know, I don't get it. Everybody says Everything Is Awesome is stuck in their heads, though it isn't in my head. I've even been playing the Lego Movie videogame and they play it every time you obtain an objective, and it STILL isn't stuck in my head.   Having said that, I somehow got all of the songs from RWBY Volume One's soundtrack stuck in my head now. Perhaps it was a -bad- idea to download both soundtracks to my phone on the same day.   Also blah boredom and blah busy work schedule.

EMP Museum exhibit: Block by Block: Inventing Amazing Architecture

http://www.empmuseum.org/at-the-museum/upcoming-exhibits/block-by-block-inventing-amazing-architecture.aspx   The same exhibit I blogged about back in the summer that went to West Palm Beach, FL in the Norton Museum of Art is now in the EMP Museum in Seattle, WA. Build by Dan Parker and his crew at TbP Group in Tacoma, WA (of which I am the shop foreman of) it features 10 skyscrapers of various sizes and colors, from across the world.   The models include One World Trade Center, the Hearst Build

Seattle Seahawks FC

So, I was browsing the web the other day, and I saw a collection of logos based around the NFL teams with both German and Italian Football (Soccer) club logo concepts. I was impressed, but the two Seattle ones were kinda meh. So I made my own using a better shield.     (The watermark's kinda to keep someone from stealing it and calling it their own outside of BZP. That'd irk me to no end if someone had.}   It could use work, I'm not a fan of those stripes (I'd like to find a better solution)

I accidentally Gaming

So back on Friday, during the huge flood of Steam sales, Bioshock Infinite was one of those games on sale. I didn't buy it.   But I was gifted it by a friend as an early Christmas present   So now I'm playing it off-and-on (CURSE YOU WORK! *shakes fist*) and enjoying it immensely.   ... Granted, had I not read the spoilers like a month after it came out, I'd probably enjoy the twists more. But fortunately knowing the story is actually not enough to prepare me for some of the twists and turns it

What have I done?

No seriously, what have I done? Well, I saw a photo of Turakii on Facebook earlier, and someone said it looked like she belonged on a movie poster.   So I put her on one. Along with Toa Lhikan Hordika. And myself as Loki.   Note, I didn't want it to be a perfect photoshop job. I just wanted it done for humor purposes. And yes, the tie is REQUIRED.

The latest victim of Lhikan's Hau...

.... Me.   So yeah, picked up this gem at the studio, it was part of a glued TRU/Target/Walmart/WHERVER DAN PICKED IT UP display. Fortunately for me, they only use hot glue.   It only occurred to me when I was on the phone with Electric Turahk that I had picked up what is essentially Lhikan's Hau.   ... Whoops.   Anyway, planning to make it a Lego-pure wearable mask. I have ideas in mind, including the rubber axle connector trick, or using the treads option (we have plenty in the studio). I've g

Submit your Nominations for BS01's Featured Chronicle, Featured Image and Featured Quote

Hey everyone,   So, I finally looked around and realized, given how busy I've been, I haven't done anything on BS01 lately in terms of changing out the main page's feature content. Granted, a certain podcast interview miiiiight have been an influence on that front. Anywho.   So, because we've had Core War, The Coming of Botar and Gali's quote featured for what feels like months now, I'm open to suggestions. Please feel free to post your suggestions in a reply, and I'll get right on it... Friday.
