    What didja get for Christmas?Whatcha doin' for New Years/Eve?Are you from the internet?Snow or no?Who's your NFL team?And now... Dok's Ladies: Where They Are Now!
    Green Tee: Never broke up with her weenie boyfriend. Still good friends with her and her family. Long over her. Anyway. Blue Eyes: I asked her out and she said yes, then texted me the next day saying no. Now dating some guy with huge nostrils. I have no interest in her whatsoever anymore. Unattainable Goal: Never really pursued her seriously, because my thing for her was during what I guess you'd call my awkward years. Anyway. Still friends, rarely talk. I understand she's dating like a semi-professional baseball player in his 20s. Lulz. Happy Happy Joy Joy: I just ain't into her anymore (haven't been for quite some time). It's like the episode of King of Queens where Deacon's dating that real laughy chick. Blegh. HHJJ is currently courting some creepy 25 or 26 year old. o_O Finally, I'm adding a new one to this list... who we'll call... okay, well, I have no idea what to call her. She's exactly one year younger than me (same birthday), goes to our church, for some reason strongly dislikes Green Tee ( ), is very attractive ( ), but seems a little high-maintenance. Haven't decided if I'm into her or not. Leaning towards yes, but it's all up in the air right now. But yeah, if I asked her out tomorrow, she's jump at the opportunity--it's pretty obvious that she has a thing for me. :hehe: 
    Sooo... what should we name her?

    YAY COMIC SCANS
     
    Couple thoughts--
     
    0. It would've been cool if the scene with Mata Nui removing the Ignika had been more played up, sorta mirroring the scene where the body was formed. Him embracing his destiny, etc. Ah well. Overall, it was a very fun comic to read.
     
    1. What part of 7,500+ miles tall do the artists not get? These are not giant robots standing on a landscape. They are the landscape. They are heavenly bodies of their own. Cosmic entities in the phsycial sense. For the Glatorian to be watching safely from the ground would be like watching safely from your backyard as two asteroids collide a few feet above your head. This should look more like a clip out of 2012 than Normandy.
     
    2. Funny to see how ridiculously rushed the story is now that Bionicle is coming to an end.
     
    3. I do have to admit that the face of the Prototype Robot is rather sleek and attractive. It's a pity we won't ever see it in set form.
     
    4. Notice the panel with the Matoran--they are in a small enclosure obviously made of technic pieces. This has been an ongoing theme since 2008's revelation of the MU's true nature--just look at the Matoran scene at the beginning of TLR. Up until 2008, the MU was so huge, you couldn't tell its interior apart from the natural world outside. Now, suddenly, it's like one crammed mecha with Matoran at the controls. There is no sky--there's a ceiling about 20 feet overhead. Hardly grand enough to be considered a "universe."
     
    5. The hatch at Teridax's foot was laughable. First, let's make no joke--Gresh shouldn't have even been able to get within a few miles of Teridax's feet. Teridax's landing should be causing massive worldwide earthquakes. His weight should penetrate Bara Magna's crust--he should be knee-high in magma. Frankly, the planet wouldn't even be able to survive Teridax's landing--it's the equivalent of the Moon crashing into the Earth.
     
    But back to the hatch. Forgetting what's written above, there's no way for the MU residents to simply emerge from the foot. Takanuva, the Rahkshi, and whatever other misfits will be making their way onto the surface of Bara Magna in the next comic would have to travel to the southernmost island, sail to the edge of the dome, and climb up the dome wall. Don't forget, gravity in the MU isn't pulling to the feet; it's pulling to the back. Having Takanuva just wander out like he was getting off a spaceship isn't close to accurate.
     
    I mean, look at the Great Barrier. The Mangaia. Kiddies, it isn't an easy task leaving the Matoran Universe.
     
    6. 2001-2008 is worthless now. Just so you know. The MU residents shouldn't care less about whether the planets are reunited. It doesn't make a difference to them. But for thousands of years, they've been fighting the Makuta guy... for what purpose? To honor Mata Nui? The current storyline would have us believe Mata Nui was an impotent wretch who just happened to be sitting in the control room of the MU. So was it the divine plan all along for Teridax to win and take over the body to reunite the worlds? How does that benefit all the MU residents who died fighting for Mata Nui? How do they benefit from any of this? Has all this bloodsheed been for the sake of the couple dozen Glatorian living on some desert planet we were only introduced to last year?
     
    Heh, one reading this might think I have more emotional stock in this than I do. I have none. It's a toy line, nothing more. But I accept Janus' position: I'm so tired of this current continuity that I've taken to writing my own. Amazingly, it gives purpose to the 01-08 years while preserving much of the recent canon, giving it a whole new significance. It's fun to take those old plots and give them new meaning--after all, isn't imagination the whole point of Lego?
     
    Ah, the lulz of writing out one huge list of what's wrong with everything.
     
    No, but seriously, it was a fun comic to read. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the storyline. And I do plan on getting the Stars for sheer nostalgic value--they, along with Mata Nui, will be the last sets I ever see myself purchasing.

    Bionicle: Then And Now

    By Dokuma,

    *resists the urge to edit the album cover for Asia's Then & Now compilation to fit this entry*
     
    BIONICLE then:

    "Where wisdom and valor fail, all that remains is faith. And it can overcome all."
    — Toa Mata Tahu, Mata Nui Online Game
    BIONICLE now:

    "What do you have in mind, and does it include explosions?"
    — Tahu to Onua, Reign of Shadows
    I think y'all catch my drift.
     
    In other news, I am SO PUMPED about the new website I'm doing for work. It looks awesome. 8D

    Exhumed by Verse is this local duo that does acoustic bass, tracks, hand percussion, and poetry over top. They played at the music store where I worked a week ago.
     
    The first two seconds into their gig and I wanted to pour molten lead into my ears and pack the wounds with salt.
     
    The following are the actual words to one of their "songs." Picture this in the shaky, adolescent-sounding, lisped voice of the acoustic bass player as he plays around in a minor key on a single string while hitting an E in the bass and holding it for 847 bars.
     

    ...what?
     

    verbiage, i'll say
     

    but only as if, mind you
     

    I couldn't have said it better myself, Exhumed by Verse.
     
    Ladies and gentlemen, Exhumed by Verse! Molten lead is available from the ushers at the doors (you'll have to use your own salt, though).

    Thursday Five

    By Dokuma,

    Well, I'm done school for the semester. So I can actually update my blog today! Yeah.
     
    I read that prototype treatment for the 2010 movie. Looking overall at where the storyline would have gone, I'm glad it isn't. The treatment does beat TLR in my opinion, though, simply because it has way more plot. But the whole thing reads like one scene, which is somewhat pathetic, IMO. But the worst part about the news of Bionicle ending is the prospect of the story continuing.
     
    End it. End it now.
     
    BTW, I finished high school. I don't have my diploma yet, but I'm essentially done.
    How are you this fine afternoon? Best BZP fad? If I were a character on the Office, who would I be? If you had to pick a past year for Bionicle to have ended, what year would it be? Fool's gold? And stay tuned for some lyrics from a local "music" group I'm gonna post. I'll explain the whole story tomorrow. Let's just say that I wanted to bludgeon myself with the guy's bass two seconds into it.

    Emoticon Of The Day

    By Dokuma,

    So I took up the task of redesigning the website I made for work. The new version owns, but the boss ain't feelin' it yet. I keep showing it to my parents to see what they think, and they both agree with me that there's no comparison. So that's meh.

    Epic Winsday Five

    By Dokuma,

    My reaction to the discontinuation of Bionicle sets: B)
     
    Tuesday five:
    What say you? Was Smallville this past week awesome or what? Plans for Thanksgiving this year? Plans for Black Friday? Is it an epistemological issue or an ontological issue?
