Toa of Pi

I loved reading the chapter books during Bionicle's original run, so of course "that I want in on the giveaway".

Thanks so much for hosting this contest!

Funny. Very TRTHful.

I don't get the biscuits part. Care to explain.

Also, on another side note (albiet off topic, but I felt the need to mention this): You never replied to my last 2 PMs

Yeah, writing epics can be pretty hard. I started a few a couple of them more than 2 years ago, and I still haven't finished them. I wish you luck.

Well, at least the comedy seems to be coming along well (I can't really tell much just by looking at chapter titles). Should be interesting.

Another comedy? Cool! I need to get around to finishing your last two...

Ah, good old post 1000. It's fun to plan ahead for those. I was going to do a comedy thing as well, but my 1000th post came sooner than I expected because I posted a lot in the VNOLG help topic, so I decided to post a new chapter in my epic after over a year instead.

Anyway, nice blog you got here. You manage to stay sort-of-serious, while still having elemente of humor! Great job! (Why do I feel like I'm reviewing your blog...)

I found some nice ones, but I chouldn;t choose just one.

So, behold!

• Blog Entry 1
• Blog Entry 2

So there's still plenty of time for me to ask more questions!

Ah, school. The thing to end all...other things.

Since in 1 week I've already built with assorted Bionicle sets more that I have the rest of the year, maybe I should spend my last free day finding an extremely lame blog entry...

Wow...That's absolutely mind boggling!

Much more interesting than the other recent scientific breakthrough...

As a person who enjoys space and astronomy, I am very disapointed by this news.

Although it may not be official, I'll probably still consider it to be a planet

the only good "ask" comedy was the original, "ask Tahu."

how many topics end in "at home" or contain the word resteraunt in them?

A couple of weeks ago, I actually went through all the active pages of the Comedy forum, and counted how many of each of the following comedies there were:

• Ask so-and-so
• So-and-so at Home
• So-and-so Starts a Restaurant
• So-and-so Goes to School
• Some Bionicle character meets somebody not related to Bionicle in Any Way
• The Toa (or somebody else) go Somewhere
• Etc.

Hmm, I actually did not know this. I assumed it was lower, because its a bigger instrument, but just like you I thought there would be a bigger difference.

Well, you learn something new every day. I wonder what new fact you'll post tommorow...

Heh. I played something that was kind of in 7/4 before. It was actually a pattern of alternating between 4/4 and 3/4, but it still boils down to 7 beats in the phrase.

Kind of reminds me of a suite I played two years ago (I forgot which one, but I'll try to find out), in which one of the movements was written in 2/4 3/4 time (That's how it was notated, with the two time signatures right next to eachother.) It was essentially in 5/4, with each measure going back and forth between 2/4 and 3/4.

Wow, I haven't seen Hapori Tohu around for a while. Maybe I'm just not very observant.

Yay, International Pohatu Day is here!

Congradulations on reaching page 5!

While you wer away, I did my best to try and help keep the forum a bit cleaner. A Lot of reporting was done...

Yes, is it kind of ironic that this happens even though there is a reminder on every single page not to post chapters with less than 300 words. Maybe those words need to be a little bit bigger...

Lucky for me, I have the opposite problem. I don't really worry about the 300 word limit, since I have a hard time stopping my ideas. It's the 50k characters per post I need to worry about (I think that's the limit. I know I've hit it before, and needed to move the rest of what I was typing into another post.)

Good luck on Comedies! You're gonna need it!

Good luck indeed. I went through there recently, and was shocked at how much spam and other not-so-good stuff was there. That, and the incredible amounts of non-originality. (I was really bored, and made an excell spreadsheet detailing how many comedies were "Ask so-and-so," "The Toa go someplace," "Somebody starts a Resturant, At Home!", etc.)

Yes, I love Toy Story. Best. Movie. Ever. Sort of.

Yep, Toy Story is a great movie, and just another reason I like Joss Whedon.

Well, I too have 'jumped on the bandwagon', and mentioned in my new blog/blob that it'll only last a week (the subtitle mentions that it's only 1 post long!) Alas, I am too cheap to afford to go premier, so it'll stay that way for a while.

It beats Web of Shadows!? (Oh, wait...have you seen WoS yet?)

 

Nah, just kidding. Toy Story is a really good movie.

Haven't seen WoS.

Yeah, I'm not alone! I really need to get around to picking up a copy one of these days (then again, I could try and become one of if not the first person on BZP to write a comedy spoofing they've never seen, and baseing it entirely off of continuety noticed between several other spoofs...)

My frozen dinners??? NO!!!! I must microwave my three pizzas...You can't have them!

Yeah, I should probably empty my PM box soon too...

Your folders are 96% full

Hmm...That is random.

And also Ironic that you commented on the 5th blog of the week at 5:55 pm...

I would definatly play Full-contact scrabble. That just sounds awesome.

Ok, QUIZZES gets me 24 points, an additional 48 points for hitting the tripple word score, 50 points for using 7 tiles, and an addition 100 points for knocking out Player #3, for a grand total of 242 points. Your turn!

They could probably air it on ESPN8, the Ocho

I don't really like them either. The new head are just so...un-head like. Especially when you look at them from the back, it looks like their heads are hollow.

Then again, I'm also not part of the majority that likes the price change for the light of parts. Although the light up stuff is cool (especially the pictures I've seen of the swords lit up in complete darkness), I don't think it's worth the extra dollar. Since I don't have a lot of money, I'm going to have to be really choosy about which ones I can get since I know I can't get them all (and I really wanted Umbra later in the year).

Although now that I think about it, it would be kind of cool to make a sludge MOC...

Well, I just thought of another use for the interval of a perfect sixth: The NBC theme (scale tones 1, 6, and then 4 of any major scale).

Ironically enough, you'll get the same progression if play any major triad, followed by the second and first inversonis respectively.

Congradulations! As far as I know, this time sets a new record!

Probably easier than writing for a jazz band (the only thing I've fully done, and that but once); but not easier than writing for a concert band. That is tricky, which I can vouch for.

 

So if any of you are thinking of composing for your school band, here's my tip: start off with a jazz song if you can, because the nature of the music makes it a lot easier. There's a pattern to fall into, you know?

Ironically enough, the piece I wrote (I called it the Devil's Haircut, which was a joke based on the fact that the tritone was originally called the Devil's Pitch) was written while I was at a jazz camp, and the other piece that I've been writing is another Jazz Song which I'm calling Melting Clocks. They do seem to be easier to write than concert band music, but I mainly find that because there's less instrumentation (although the rhythm section can be hard sometimes, especially for wind players).

P.S. Congratulations on being the first person to reply to one of my musical rants, ToP!

Well, It's always fun to discuss music, even if not many people do it (I've only really had a 'musical conversation' with 1 person in real life that I can remember, and they are also a clarinetist.)

don't you find it odd those two mean the same thing?

like flammable and inflammable.

Yeah, that's weird stuff.

Sort of like the difference between unlawful and illegal.
