    I seem to have a habit of not updating this often.
     
    Main update: I added a new chapter to My Transformation Part II. I encourage you to read it; it's fairly lengthy and full of goodies.
     
    Also, tomorrow is my last day of finals and I get to go home! Woot woot! I'm very excited.
     
    I'll get to see my friends again. It's going to be great. ^^
     
    Um, that's all for now. Please read the new chapter!

    The Stagnant Blog Revived

    By Akano,

    It seemed as though ages passed since anyone set foot in the clearing where the little pond lay. No one had been near it in ages, and those who stumbled by it paid it no heed, for they were travelers with another mission and had no need to visit an average little pond that had long been abandoned. But this pond was not left alone, no, but only given time to age and mature. Its creator had taken a short vacation, and in his vacation the pond had nearly blended into the rest of the scenery around it. The hieroglyphs that towered behind it were no longer a vision by which to be taken back, nor were the banners advertising comics and stories flamboyant or attention-grabbing. That would all change today, though, for the creator set foot in that humble glade once more. The sign sitting at the water's edge was cleaned off, and a spectacular light display that the creator brought to his beloved pond glowed once more. The sign clearly read the same two words it had read since its conception, and was, in its creator's return, renewed.
     
    The sign at the water's edge could now be read – "Akano's Blog".
     
    I'm back!
     
    Yes, it seems that college does some interesting interference with contact to the outside world. This Toa of Electricity is quite fine, and is glad to write in this very dusty blog. Hi, everyone!
     
    I believe I posted a new comic recently, which you can view here. I also decided to be a beta tester on "My LEGO Network." It's actually pretty fun, and it brings out my inner child.
     
    I also have an annoying 5-7 page research paper to work on. I'm not quite sure on its due date yet, but I don't like the topic: Something dealing with King Arthur and his story. I'd much rather have a much more open topic selection. vv;
     
    Um, that's all for now. Enjoy the comic and the revival of this blog.

    Happy Halloween!

    By Akano,

    I hope everyone had a fun-filled day of costumes and sweets. My roommate and I stocked up on all sorts of candy, and no one showed up. It was sad, but the plus side is that we have enough candy to last through Christmas.
     
    My roommate dressed as Sherlock Holmes, and I dressed as his colleague, Dr. John H. Watson. I had a fun time. 8D

    Yeah, the current weather is about 45°F and overcast with annoying, non-thunderstorm rain.
     
    But, such is the way my hometown treats its people during spring break. This week is for me to relax, take a mental break from college, and continue to put off an 8-10 page paper for philosophy of science. Kill me now. XP
     
    I really wish the sun were out right now. Not only would it help dry up the muddy ground, but it would bring more light into the house and to the outside. I'd probably enjoy a good walk, too.
     
    This is why I hate the first part of spring. Only when spring transitions into summer do I finally become content. >>

    Anniversary!

    By Akano,

    For those of you who haven't read my latest comic, four days ago marked Akano's Comics' fourth year anniversary. For any topic on BZPower, that is an amazing feat, and I hope the topic will have a few more years in the running.
     
    Also, thanks to those who read my new chapter. You can still post in the review topic since topic revival is allowed in the Epics forum so long as your posts are on topic.

    Longest Talkin' Toons podcast yet, and every second is worth listening too.
     
    I love voice actors. 8D
     
    For those who don't know Rob Paulsen, his roles include:

    Yakko Warner
    Dr. Otto Scratchansniff
    Pinky
    Raphael
    Mark Chang

    and many more.

    Loss Of Wisdom…?

    By Akano,

    Yesterday, my brother KK and I got our wisdom teeth removed. I had three taken out (which was all I had) and KK got four removed.
     
    Amazingly, my mouth doesn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would.
     
    It was also the first time I had ever been on anesthesia. The experience was instantaneous, and it was very odd to me how fast that half hour flew to me.
     
    Just my random blurb of today. Also, welcome back online, BZPower!

    Another month (or two), another entry. I've been quite distracted from BZPower recently as the college semester draws to a close and finals week is waxing and, finally, waning. I do have some rather nice updates, though, ironically during the time in which I should be studying/working on essays due for my finals. >>;;
     
    My Transformation Part II has been updated with a new chapter, and I highly encourage you read it (since it has not gotten attention for months).
     
    Also, I've updated my comics since the last entry, with Comic 107 being the latest.
     
    In addition to that, my Christmas break begins this weekend, and I'm glad. This weekend looks promising to be really fun, and I hope I can calm down a little after all the stress from finals.
     

  13. Akano
    I am the worst blogger ever. XD
     
    Anywhosit, since I last posted it's been at least two months, and in that time, Christmas break drew to a close and I'm now in the middle of my fourth semester at college. Yayz.
     
    It's amazing how fast college is going. Another two years and I'll be on my last semester. There's a scary thought. What's even scarier is that I was looking at a friend's LEGO magazine today, and it hit me that over a decade has gone by since my most favorite LEGO theme, the Adventurers, first premiered in the LEGO universe.
     
    What a wonderful year 1998 was for LEGO. Adventurers had come out, and with them the first tan pieces came into existence (Pohatu, you're welcome ), and so had the Hydronauts and the Stingrays, the Insectoids were creeping throughout my bedroom, and the Ninjas were cleverly sneaking through traps and stealing treasures.
     
    Ten years later, and my how LEGO has changed. But, I've endured this decade as my nostalgia continues to get the better of me in some cases, and I enjoy many of the more recent sets almost as much as I enjoy the old. The same holds true for BIONICLE. There are BIONICLE sets that through the years I didn't like, and there were those I absolutely love (Vorox FTW!). As 2009 begins, I look forward to the ideas LEGO has in store for the remainder of the BIONICLE storyline, a storyline that captivated me since 2001 and has undoubtedly extended my fandom of a childhood toy which I will always cherish.
     
    Seeing as it is now about 1:30 a.m. in my time zone, I will bid you adieu. Thanks for reading, and if you have free time, check out the new comic I posted in my topic. It's a good 'un!
     

  14. Akano
    I know, I'm late for the former and early for the latter, but I figure celebrating both in one blog entry will suffice.
     
    My Christmas was great. I got to spend it at home with my family had a great Christmas Eve dinner, filled with calamari and ciabatta bread with bruschetta. Present-wise, my brother KopakaKurahk and I got Maxilos and Spinax from my younger brother, Tekulo, though I think KK's keeping that one for himself, and we got Halo 3 and Guitar Hero III.
     
    Hopefully we'll have a New Year's celebration that'll be just as good. Also, expect a New Year's comic, hopefully a non-filler this time.
     
    Merry Christmas everyone, and have a Happy New Year.

    The summer's almost over, and I can't wait.
     
    I know, summer vacation is almost over, so why would I want it to end? Well, for me it's not much of a vacation (since I've been working 40+ hours a week), and I'm really eager to go back to school. Also, autumn is my favorite season of the year, and I'm not too sad about having to say goodbye to the heat we've had.

    Guess it's been a while. I don't think anyone's surprised.
     
    Here's what has happened since I last posted here:
    I sang at my school's graduation back in May and realized that in one year I'll be walking in front of all those people receiving my diploma. Scary thought. I spent a short two weeks at a mini physics internship. I wish I could have stayed longer, but the college I went to did not have enough funding to take me on for the full summer. My brother, KopakaKurahk, and I have been apart longer than we ever have in our lives. He received an internship and is now across the country studying seismology. I remembered how much I love mowing the lawn. 8D Also, I do have a new idea for a comic, and hope to execute said idea this weekend. Eight hour work days do not give much free time for comic-making.

    My Latest Busyings...

    By Akano,

    Yes, busyings may not be a word, but I'm using it, dang it!
     
    As my finals are about to start tomorrow I've been keeping myself busy with other things to make myself forget that I have finals. For instance, I've been working on the following image:
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 
    I'm not sure if the proportions of all the islands are correct, but I think this is the general idea of how the universe is laid out in the body of Mata Nui. I'm also unsure of the placement of Artidax, the Energized Protodermis being's island, and Keetongu's island, as to whether or not they're inside those pistons or in his legs...
     
    Yay for Photoshop tinkerings!

    New Lego Store Opening

    By Akano,

    So, this weekend marked the grand opening of a LEGO store that's actually within driving distance of my home. I stood over two hours in line to get in (it was insane!), but I managed to retrieve a LEGO R2-D2 Duplo block and got my fourth Pharaoh's Quest set - Flying Mummy Attack - while enjoying the LEGO atmosphere. It was a blast.
     
    I also got a green laser pointer. It's much fun to take long exposure photos of writing your own name on a wall in a dark room in green laser.
     
    Also, there's a new-ish comic up in my topic. If you haven't seen it, it has some physics and a good meme joke. 8D

    So, I don't know about all of you, but I had a fantabulous Easter weekend.
     
    I went to my college friend's house in PA, went to the Baltimore Science Center (kind of a let down), and stayed one night at his family's farm. Four-wheeling is fun. 8D
     
    Then, since there was next to no light pollution at his farm, we went out around 11:30 at night and stargazed. It was fun times.
     
    I now want a farm. 8D

    So, Bzp's Back...!

    By Akano,

    Welcome back, everyone!
     
    As you may or may not have noticed, I haven't yet put life back into my comics topic (and by that, I mean re-posting said topic with new comics). I am, however, currently working on a new comic for the rebirth of Akano's Comics, so stay tuned for that.
     
    Also, super-happy-fun news, I have recently acquired Night Lord's Castle from the classic Fright Knights theme of LEGO System, and I have to say, it is quite the awesome set. Basil's pad is something to envy, I must say.
     
    As for life, I am currently in my first semester of graduate school and recently went through the privilege (read: trauma) of taking a graduate-level quantum mechanics in-class exam. That was four questions long. And was only given 80 minutes. It was great.
     
    Thus, if my schedule for making comics remains the way it was before (i.e. unpredictable) I hope you understand why, because it's not necessarily that I'm forgetting about this place or you. Heart-promise.
