I actually finally (it makes no sense why I took so long but there ya go) signed up for VIP points. I decided it was a good time to do so. So what did I buy on my first VIP purchase? Batman Keychain Superman Keychain Brick Calendar Dunno when they'll show up off the top of my head (next week or so I think) and I'll be on the lookout for my VIP card as well (let's hope it gets here before BCon) Speaking of BrickCon, I'm registered, and so is Mata Nui. Looking forward to seeing my frie
One of the major perks I have working in a LEGO art studio, I don't feel guilt for my hobby as a LEGO builder when I go to buy a set. Even more so when I buy said set on the boss' computer, at work. I was browsing the LEGO store while waiting on a ride, and I came across the LEGO hard-to-find items. Set #10215 caught my eye. I had seen it before in 2010 in catalogs. Of course, it's a $100 normally. Oh I couldn't justify buying it now... What's this? It's only $59.99 right now? ... I THREW
As many of you know, or will now learn, I am fascinated with music. What kinds, you may ask? (Either that or you're being forced with this question.)
I'm big into Classic Rock. The obvious connection from there is my Pink Floyd collection. My original Blog title was "A Momentary Lapse of Reality," an obvious play on words from the original title, which was "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," an awesome album from them. The current one is a more accurate portrayal of that, "A Delicate Sound of Blag
I must stop blagging soon enough, but I must ask the question before the day is out.
What happened to Concept Albums? Seriously, it seemed like every single mainstream band put out one of these puppies every 4-5 years, and now it's rarer than a decent Generation One Pokémon card.
Let's be honest, would you rather listen to 12 songs with barely any connection to each other, or 12 songs which tell a story of either love, hate, anger, passion, peace, war, anything? I mean, come on artists of
... I have a few ideas there. I've been very inspired by the theme. In fact, I'm more inspired even before the theme was finished being presented to us. ... Oh also, the full name is Pigs vs Cows. ... Should have mentioned that before I posted this, yeah? Probably.
I seem to have awoken my British bloodline (one of the many bloodlines I have) and I now have a posh accent. x_x But on the plus side? I'm about halfway through the storyline (I hope). I'm trying to stretch it out over a few days for once. Still epic.
So I've come to figure, what could possibly doom BZP if it were to return?
We've covered Plushie Fad, so I'm thinking what's worse?
I am [insert user name here], perhaps? Or perhaps the infamous Ducks?
I can promise you, if Ducks came back, we'd be in trouble.
Oh, perhaps combine old fads? Plushie All Your Base? That would scare.
Let's go ahead and dedicate this blog entry to thinking of what would doom us all.

So, few things to poll the people with.
1) I had planned to update BS01's skin settings to match HS01. Would anybody object?
2) In addition to #1, I plan to add a secondary skin to both sites (or just HS01 if the first gets a rousing "NO!") with a no-trans variant. In those situations, there will be something added to dazzle the people with, trust me.
3) Any other skin change ideas to either site to make? And no, a skin with your name on it is out of the question. Sorry everyone (I'm lo
No, seriously XD
Story behind it: We were talking, she commented she was waiting til she got tired enough to go to sleep (I've had to do that before XD) and I randomly said "I'd laugh if someone popped their head in on ya while you just got to sleep and said "HI LK!"
So she had me do it in comic form. Yaaay.
Now, if anybody would be willing to, my phone's on the floor. Please dial 911 and send the paramedics for me.
So for 5 days in a row, I get to wake up at 6:30 AM, catch a 7:30 AM bus, then catch a bus headed towards work and arrive at like 8:30 AM or 9 AM. So in other words, it's just like when I started working there, only now I'm expected to do stuff when I walk in. Swell.
So, I'm not exactly a well-known person, so I should introduce myself to the BZPower citizens. Let's face it, I don't do anything nearly notable enough to be recognized.*
I shall list my credentials. I doubt they're notable, but my friends think they're cool. BS01 Owner, Administrator, and overall decision maker. Anything on BS01 you don't like or think should be changed? Rant here. PREMIER BZPower Outstanding Citizen. And proud of it. Part- to full-time employee of a LEGO Art Studio, City Bl
Alright, I'm really excited. In one more week, I will FINALLY have my own WP7. I've been waiting for it SINCE 2010. I'm pumped. Trivia: I once considered an Android device. I thought it was the perfect answer to Apple's dominance. And to a degree, it still is... if it wasn't so fragmented. So yeah, WP7. Yay me. Anything else I forgot? No. Okay. *walks away* .... *returns* OH RIGHT, MORE DEATH STAR PHOTO! Yeah, I mounted the dish. Yay me ^^
Okay, I figure a bit of a BIONICLE theme this time.
Based on observations, there might be repeats, but of different sets. Here we go. Also, they have specific reasons for why I like them, so I will note with a symbol behind each one. Chart for explaination at bottom of list. EDIT: NEW LIST BELOW.

So, as I mentioned in an earlier blag entry, I now work at a LEGO art studio called City Blocks. My first project for them is an event piece in which we are modifying the Green Grocer, a LEGO Exclusive set.
What modifications, you might ask? Well for one, the whole thing used to be 32 studs wide. It is now 31. Two, it has only one middle section normally. Now it has three. Also, it has tan stripes. Not anymore. And finally, it had a rounded front market with steps going in. The shop front is
The only thing I truly miss about my laptop? The inability to watch random stuff in my own room versus the living room, and the Windows Live Messenger custom emotes I collected over the year and a half I had it in. ;_; ... And watching random internet videos whenever I want. ... Okay, and my files.
Since it worked so well last time, I decided to do it this time.
Again, THIS LIST IS OPEN FOR DEBATE. Please do complain that I didn't add rappers. I dare ya Also again, this is based on my experience, not on any "facts." Also, these are all Rock only, if I start using more out of that genre, the list is harder, and the Honorable Mentions is longer.
#10: Nirvana
#9: Guns N' Roses
#8: Sublime
#7: Foo Fighters
#6: Beatles
#5: Beach Boys
#4: Metallica
#3: A Perfect Circle
#2: Tool

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
I know many have already said to remember those who have fallen for their country, and those are truly those whose memories and lives we should honor. But I want to look deeper. I truly wish to remember and honor the families who lost loved ones in these wars. I want to remember every wife, child, mother, father, brother, sister, even grandchildren who lost those serving our fair country. Now you might ask me, why should we care about them? Is not today the day remember fallen heroes? An
So I had a brief discussion with my boss and others in the studio, and we discussed in detail the Bionicle MOCs area in conventions such as BrickCon. So a good question came up, is the theme of Bionicle at a convention supposed to be about the theme of Bionicle, or the parts that come with it? So I ask the community, do you consider Bionicle theme at conventions (BrickCon, BrickFair, etc.) to be about the theme of Bionicle, or the parts used? Would using Hero Factory parts be considered taboo
I have begun uploading THE LAST 488 FILES FOR BS01. This is a monumental moment IMO. Once I'm done, we can see what we're truly missing, and I can still go get them. Also no news on the new processor and mobo yet.
Even though I've seen it more than once before, it still saddens me to see the ending. I mean, dude. You want a heartwrenching tearjerker? Watch how Jason acted when he first suited up as Robin. Then look back at the intro. .... ;_; Man, I might need a hug now. And I'm usually well balanced emotionally.
It's finally coming. ONE DAY. BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. It is clearly a sign. They want me to not work that weekend. I must answer the calling! "Welcome to Black Mesa Research Facility. The time is 8:20 AM."
Alright, I have mailed out four of the six prizes to the winners of MakutaFest 2012. I cannot (at the moment) afford to ship to the two Canadian winners, but I am making arrangements as I type this (I'm -very- resourceful). The four winners who will receive prizes within the next week are: TanmaDude (-TD-) who gets a TNGM Despair who also gets a TNGM Tekulo: Toa of the Breeze, who gets the silver masks and Kothra, who gets the mask bag (AND FORGOT TO PUT HIS ZIP CODE IN THE EMAIL GRAAAAAAA
