20 Questions Round 2 Part 2

EDIT: Bumped cause you guys haven't figured it out yet!!   Let's play 20 Questions! I think you should know the basic rules; I'm thinking of something Bionicle related, and you ask questions to help narrow it down! Here are some of the more detailed rules:   1: The questions can only be yes or no questions. So "Is he pink" works but "what color is he" doesn't.   2: There can only be ONE question per post, and no double posting.   3: I will edit my answer into every body's post. You can only add

Brickfair Stuffs And Such

So the only images I've appeared in (for the most part) are either group images or ones where I'm in the background. Which is all the better... I look horrible in photographs. (And I assume in person, although I don't have to look at that so it doesn't bother me)   Here's a random list of things that I can remember off the top of my head...   Arpy and I talk too much on red eye flights. Not to mention our topics of discussion were very unusual. CF met us at the airport and had a sign with

Larger Sets

I'm catching the fever known as "WANT MOAR LEGO Bricks!" I have birthdays and Christmas coming up, and the latest holiday cataglouge sparked it up again. Plus, I have some money coming in now, so I'm not a total freeloader anymore. So maybe I could somehow treat myself to one of the larger sets from this year. I don't want many... just one. But which one?   Here's my thoughts on the sets (not particularly the story, but just the sets.)   Vultraz: US $19.99 It might be nice if I wanted so

New Communication System Z

From now on, every line must end in Z.   Not every sentence. Or even individual linez in paragraphs. But they all have to end in z.   Sometimes it can be done by making a plural of thingz.   Or just add it there at the end of a sentence. Z   Works better while chattingz.   So yeah, new rule for this blog entry. Z   Z

20 Questions 18: 2008

I know it's a little late in the weekend, but regardless...   Let's Play 20 Questions. I will think up something pertaining to Bionicle, and you must ask me questions to see who it is.   Rules   1: The questions can only be yes or no questions. So "Is he pink" works but "what color is he" doesn't.   2: There can only be one question per post, and no double posting.   3: I will edit my answer into every body's post. You can only add a second question in your post if I have already edited i

Color Names

You see, it's not Teal or Dark Turquoise, or even Bright Bluish Green.   IT'S CALLED TARAKAVA GREEN.   Any argument to the contrary is wrong.   (I will also accept Kongu Blue.)

In Crowd

Sometimes it infuriates me about how people form cliques and such and really do their best to distance others. High school is the prime example. I never seemed to fit in with any particular crowd even though I hung out with them: the popular kids in the AP classes, the drama students in the school play, the slacker students who sat in the corner during lunch. It was always like I was an outside observing, and if I tried to give input it was ignored or refuted.   I didn't really encounter thi

BrickBadge

Every event has Brick Badges, which are usually made out of engraved bricks. My problem with them is that they tend to break easily, so for Bricks Cascade I designed a reinforced badge that held together fairly well. (Sure, the bottom bricks did break off at one point and fall into an elevator shaft... but I have since dealt with that weak point.)   As such, I was surprised when Kakaru informed me that this years BrickCon Badges are merely 1x6x5 bricks with printing on them. Totally lame, b

iDon'tWant.   Touch screen? Seriously, I don't see the benefit of these. You'll touch the screen and it'll get all mucky and full of finger prints. My laptop screen is like that, and I try very hard not to touch it too much. No, touch screens don't appeal to me.   More features? Meh, I do have a laptop. And it sounds alot like their earlier products... only this time, bigger.   Really, am I the only person who likes having different devices that do different things? I have a phone for

Brickcon Peeps

One of the better deals I found while attending BrickCon was the mini figure pick-a-brick table. I've gone there during public conventions before... basically buy one fig for $5... kinda expensive, considering they don't have that extensive of a collection. But they wanted to sell some minifigs, so on Sunday morning, they had a deal; for $20, you could fill a zip lock bag with minifig parts! The only limit was that you had to seal your bag... well, at first. They went back to normal prices f

Current Music Craves

Just so I can post something, I'll list a few songs that I just haven't been able to get out of my head recently.   Story of My Life - Smash Mouth. It's humorous and has a good beat.   Accidentally in Love- Counting Crows. I'm not quite sure when / where this song is from, but I apparently bought it off a Shriek II soundtrack. Anyway, another upbeat song that just lodged itself in my head. Coincidentally, it seems to remind me of some of my better romance passages in my stories of the pa

It's Kind Of Sad...

That GD now needs a rule topic.   On the other hand, that's the clearest formatting I've ever seen of rules for that forum. Most of them were kind of word-of-mouth; if your topic broke one of em, the staffie would just make a mention of it while they nuked your topic.   Note, I do not participate in or actively endorce rule breaking in the GD forum. Just so we're clear.

What To Call This Power?

I've probably brought this up before, but I'll bring it up again.   Okay, so one of my stories introduced powered talisman partway through, based on powers seen in Bionicle, as well as that old Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon. Some of the powers are classics, like speed and strength. Some are a little more unique (or Bioniclisque) like ghosting or visions. But there's this one power that I can't quite name properly.   I originally called it gravity. The main idea was it would let you lift t

Gali Masters Mosaic?

Sections: [01][02][03] [04][05][06] [07][08][09] [10][11][12]   So, what do you think? This has been recolored to better fit a selection of colors that are easy to utilize. )The red is just outlining the 32x32 sections.) The blue on the shoulders / thighs is dark azure, because I have a lot of that color in bricks. I expect to do at least one of those sections to use my supply, and I can probably cover all of them it nobody else has enough of the bricks in that color. I also made the skull spide

Worst Set

Hey BZP!   Tell me what's the worst set of the year? The set you just absolutely hate and never want to see more of.   Because I will buy said set and then review it!*   MUHAHAHAHA     *Okay, no I won't.

The Last Bionicle Movie

OMG Spoilers!   » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «So Vakama turns mean and betrays his fellow Hordika and joins the Visorak. But the other Hordika find Keetongu, who smashes Sidorak, and Matau convinced Vakama to come back. They super blast Roodaka, but accidentally free Makuta and she gets sucked into some sort of shadow warp or something. (Does she die? It's so confusing) But apparently it's a happy ending.      What, you think I've seen TLR yet? Even if I had (I hav

New Roomie

My old roommate moved out at the end of winter quarter. He signed up in a fraternity, so he could party more than in the dorms. Anyway, I got a couple of threatening e-mails from my university's housing and food services, warning my to keep my room nice and tidy for the next guy who'll eventually move in. They're a friendly bunch.   Well, two weeks went by and nobody showed up. From the sound of it, most people who lose a roommate at the end of winder quarter don't gain a new one for spri

The Ugly Truth About Hiking

It must be a liberal arts hobby.   I joined the hiking club as soon as I came to this university, and they've only been on three hikes since I've been here. And guess what... all the hikes are on Friday! No weekend adventures... it's only for those liberal arts students who are taking lame classes that let out on Friday.   And don't bother suggesting that I go out on my own... I don't have a car. I don't do hikes, I just walk to other places in the city.   On the other hand, I'm taking Ast

Fire The Fox

I wonder how many more of those puns I have left?   Anyway, I'm currently on Fire Fox right now, and I can't say I greatly enjoy it. Yeah, it has tabs, but there's no single button to create a new one (IE has that). And the bookmarks tab is inconveniently placed... Plus, I can "drag" images when I click on them... why? Why would I have to do that? I'm fine with "copy / paste". It's annoying.   I am also typing this blog in the middle of one of my programming lectures. Yay for laptops.

The Board And The Blog

Yes, yes, paranoid people copy their posts before they hit "post new entry." I do that half the time myself, but sometimes I'm just so eager that I forget, and then the Board Message looms down on me like a dark cloud... or an evil pinkish message that no longer has cool jokes in it.   But here's what irks me.   I post in a topic, and I get the board message. Sometimes, I can backspace, and get the original post all written out still, where I then copy and paste. Or, sometimes, I can't get
