ok NOW I can post my thoughts

these new sets look really awesome and I'm buying them all. I still have some gripes (gali's mask is still too evil looking for me but I am disliking it less with time, pohatu's feet boomerangs seem like an afterthought, onua's hulkness isn't doing it for me and neither is kopaka's bulk. I always saw him as being lean and mean... but oh well.) but overall I am very excited. I'm actually loving lewa so muc which is weird 'causehis mask is probably the furthest from the original but yeah.   also t

BIONICE

So yeah I haven't made an entry about them yet, so because of today's thingy, I will pass judgement.   Edit: Remember not to discuss leaked images. -Wind-   ...right. judgement redacted until whenever

Toa Mata

me and my good buddy Takal were debating earlier about the difference between Earth and Stone elements, and we came to a disturbing discovery:   earth and stone are basically the same (bye Onua)   Gali can heat water (she did so in one of the early comic issues, forget which) which means she can also freeze it (bye Kopaka)   following the same logic, Pohatu should be able to heat rock to create magma, and by extension, flames (this would be difficult I'd imagine, and nowhere near as practical as

Doctor Who

I can't even put my frustration with this show into words... every new episode that comes out makes me dislike it more. The potential is there, as it always was, for amazing things, but at literally every turn it's almost intentionally ruined.   it's like every time there might be a redeeming moment moffat goes "lol fart joke"   obviously there aren't (many) actual fart jokes but you get my point I hope   gaaaaaaaaah

Star Trek KRE-O

So a few months ago I caved and bought some of these kre-o sets against my better judgement (because official TREK building sets???) and I forgot to mention it here. Was just messing around with them and thought I'd post 'em here with a little mini-review.     So yeah I ended up getting 3 sets, all small ones. From left to right: USS Kelvin, Klingon D-6 Battlecruiser, and USS Enterprise. They come on these funky little stands which light up when you squeeze the starfleet insignia base.   I noti

Winter Soldier

Saw this movie last night. I hadn't seen the first Captain America so I watched it a few hours beforeheand and it was really good.   Anyway, I was pretty stoked for this movie and it let me down a bit. I won't spoil it for anyone, and my thoughts on it are pretty simple, so here they are:   The story was great. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I wasn't sure who was the actual bad guy for most of it. Loved it in that sense - however, there was WAY too much "action" (notice the quo

stress levels through the roof

I apologize for this spew and you don't need to actually read it I just needed to get it all out   okay so let me break this down   I have roughly two weeks until finals. In the grand scheme, that means 3 weeks until I need to start job hunting for the summer or (heaven forbid it comes to this) go back to my old job. So that is a giant stress   but let's go more immediate   I have two large projects to do as finals, two large written tests, and three practical proficiency tests on top of the wee

Tax Return Came In

so naturally I bought some lego. Unfortunately the new Jedi Starfighter was sold out (again) but I got these 3 awesome sets:     I think this exo-force hero factory is really working well and I love this set. The lego movie stuff is obviously great (I HAVE A UNIKITTY NOW) and the new V-Wing is sweet aswell. Having all 3 V-Wing sets, I still maintain the (2009?) Imperial version is the best, though this one does improve upon some of the mechanics.

Coheed & Cambria cover

https://soundcloud.com/l-chlantocher/the-willing-well-iv-the-final   just finished this instrumental cover of The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut for school.   Some things to note:   -it had been so long since I'd played this last that I forgot it was in drop tuning, so I accidentally recorded it in standard. -I play bass, both rhythm and lead guitar, organ, and piano (what little there is of it) on here. The drums are midi, and sadly there's no vocals because I haven't found anyone to sing it ye

new macbook pro

at this point I'm considering giving up on future human relationships and just marrying this computer.   it is the greatest computer I have ever owned.   if I want something done it just... does it   no fuss, no adding additional programs, no crashing, no messing about in the terminal, or anything else that goes with windows or linux. I'd almost forgotten why I loved these things all those years ago

mildly not-super-dull "adventures" in music college

so in ear training class today someone had written "What a friend we have in Jesus" on the board, so one of the other guys stood up in the middle of the class, erased "Jesus" and put "Jimi Hendrix."   Then we progressed into a lesson on suspended chords and another kid at the end of the lesson changed it to "What a friend we have in Gsus"

Best of 2013

I was gonna do this yesterday but I forgot, and now everyone's beaten me to it   Oh well. Here's what I think were the best of... stuff... for this last year:     MUSIC: First off, because it's my prime passion, this year was fairly disappointing for me, as so many of my favourite artists released less than stellar albums. Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Volbeat, James LaBrie, Queensryche and others (while some were pretty good and others were awful) all were varying ranges of a letdown. However there

Frozen

Okay so I just saw this movie and I had heard some bad things about it and some good things, and it seemed like I'd like it   but I'll be if that wasn't at the very least my second favourite movie of the year. it was just so good and sad and happy and heartwarming and cute and I actually liked a few of the songs (which is extremelely rare for me)   and I really can't say enough about it, everyone should watch it if you enjoy such movies
