Alright, so I made my last in-store purchase of a new Bionicle set over the weekend - Takanuva (Stars), at a Meijer in Camby. As I pondered this thought and the canister slipped out of my hand, falling slowly and slowly down into the cart, I couldn't help but think that something felt similar....
Flashback. 2001. A young lad skips through the store to the best section of all - the Lego section. Resting on the shelf there is a strange looking object that has identified itself (on the label) as
Metus is hilarious. Love it, though after the post-spoilers-and-die period here on BZP finishes up, I'm gonna post my list of slight complaints on TLR. Well, almost slight. One of them's pretty major.
Just throwin' this out here. I seem to be doing a lot of that recently.
> The game itself (Zelda 2)
> Bad camera direction (Wind Waker)
> Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)
> The Ice Cavern (Ocarina of Time)
> Most to all events that happen at Romani Ranch (Majora's Mask)
> Dying too fast (Zelda, A Link to the Past)
> Not being able to unequip a mask whilst wearing it (Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask)
> What's wrong with Gorons and Cuckoos? (Wind Waker)

Well, at 53 votes and a lot of luck, this is the farthest I've ever made it in a BBCC, and I want to thank each and every person for voting for me, especially Bfa, Arpy, Turkii, Ferhago, Nico, Niff, Xin, Iro, Kohaku, Brickthing, Nuju Metru, FE, Shan, Takuta-Nui, Iranu, Erebus, Bunda, and everyone else who voted for me. I didn't honestly expect the Pin Mage to go far, but it was fun making it, and I know I lulled a lot of people with it. But that's what MOCing is about, especially in contests - b
Castle Vignette now in the works. It's a multi-tier built cross section of some random castle. Gives me a break from modular flooring. >_<
So yeah, it should stand about 2-3 feet tall when I'm done with it, and it's only 12 studs square through the whole thing (which really isn't that much). Once I get the basic build of it going, I'm gonna Sir Nadroj it all up; I've got some good idears for detailing, right now. Specifically on a new chandelier design I discovered, using a wagon wheel.
So basically, now I'm out of homeschooling for...7-something years and now I attend Covenant Christian High, a fairly nice school that is, of course, a Biblical-based institution (which is exactly what I shot for). What's really ironic is that two of the most hated teachers in the school, Biology and Bible 1, are two of my favs and I'm generally the preferred student of both of them. That's a cool feeling to have, but I also hate it 'cuz they're like 'Oh yeah, YOU'RE his fav' and I'm just like '
So I just had to watch 10 hours of movies in Spanish, write down a list of words for each movie that are new to me, as well as write a short summary of what the movie was about. Naturally, I would've just watched the LoTR extended trilogy and got it all over with in three movies.....that is, if they were even in Spanish. >_<
So here's a list of movies that I watching in Spanish:
- V For Vendetta (subtitles only)
- The Legend Reborn (both audio and subtitles)
- The Dark Knight (both a
If vampires are demons....
...and demons are defined by anything that has evil characteristics...
....EDWARD CULLEN IS A DEMON!!
Aaaaaa-jibbiliejibbiliejibbiliejibbiliejibbiliejib-bi-lie-jib-bi-lie......
Looks like it's settled down a bit. I think GF's news kinda quaffed all the sadness.
Btw, writing a new story...
BROMELIAD
ONLY YOU CAN SAVE THE WORLD
...a Terry Pratchett-styled Bionicle comedy epic!!
In which four entities - Death, Fate, Time, and Luck - are peeved about the fact of an ancient, cursed weapon being reformed that could possibly mean the end of the world! So they find a really sucky hero and aid him on his quest to stop Evil and the reformation of the Staff of Bad!
I told some people I wanted 10 kids.
They asked me why I'd want that.
I told them that it pertained to the old Biblical principle of immortality, that it was once believed that a man was immortal as long as his family name existed.
They told me I was a nerd.
I told to them to eat it, because I knew more than they did.
They left.
Someone threw a paper wad at me.
I side-stepped and it hit one of my chick-friends behind me.
She now believes that they were aiming for her.
New MOC; a type of Medieval tomb that I toyed around with a bit at first but then went on to completing a full MOC. This is the best thing I've built since Rage of the Champions, which was nearly a year ago. Fully monochromatic, unless you want to differentiate pre-Metru dark gray and post-Metru dark gray (which I don't, especially for MOCs that are 'made of stone'). For those of you who don't know, this is a recumbent effigy.
Y'know what I hate the most, is wanting to build something really really badly, for the sake of both having built it and to play with it, yet you can't, because you just don't have the time, resources, or experience?
Yeah I'm never gonna get around to building an airship....
I'll just update this from time to time...

As one reviewer put it, "I had enough trouble understanding the concept of 'Go in Portal A, go out Portal B.'"
Sgian Dhu; a kilt-dagger. Making it my Ranger Knife once it comes in the postage.
9"; 4.5" for the handle, 4.5" for the blade; small amount of serration near the grip.
