Yeah, like that'll ever happen... (You do know I was being sarcastic... right? )

Things are pretty quiet around here right now. I wonder when something interesting will happen?

Looks like somebody's been watching "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". (That's one of my favorite lines too. ) A giant suit of armor as a mother? No thanks, too weird for me. Impressive maybe, but too weird. I've never seen the second PotC, but that question has already been answered anyway so it doesn't matter. Chinchillas... Yes, quite interesting...

On rare occasion (very rare), I dabble in art. Recently, such a rare occasion has occurred. Thus, this topic was posted. What have I drawn? You'll have to visit the topic to find out 'cuz I ain't tellin' ya!

Well, after a long snooze, Tehka and Rhokurra (my entries for BBC#32) are just about ready for the unveiling of their newly updated forms. The main reason that they're not ready just yet is because I have yet to develop a satisfying design for Rhokurra's lower legs. I'll probably end up incorporating those "thigh pistons" (as I've heard them called) into Rhokurra's legs to make them more stable as he's somewhat top-heavy at the moment. (By the way, these are the pieces that support the legs on most if not all the latest titan sets, for those of you who don't know.) So yeah, there's still a bit of work ahead of me, but at least I've made progress. (I've almost completely re-built Rhokurra. The main thing stumping me are his legs.) Keep an eye out for 'em!

Topic About time I posted a MOC. Yeah, I know. It's not Bionicle, but at least it's something. Let me know what you guys think! edit: Yikes! The topic has slipped almost to the second page and with no posts! I'd appreciate some feedback on the MOC guys... edit2: Okay, there's been about 30 views and still not one post... Here's a pic of the MOC I would really appreciate some feedback on this MOC! If not in the topic then at least in my blog here. (Although, preferably in the topic.)

Not really MOC-related, but hey, who says a MOCist can't dabble in other things? Anyway, an old topic of mine was re-opened recently. It had some links to download animation programs like Microsoft GIF Animator and UnFREEz. I felt that the information in the topic was a bit out of date (after all, I posted it back in '03!), so I figured an update was in order. The topic now has updated info, links to a couple useful programs, and a tutorial. If you want to try your hand at animation, why not stop by?

If anyone still remembers, I've been working on a MOC inspired by the FSS's design. It's really more squid-like, but it's still cool IMO. It's small enough for me to easilly create instructions for it, so if I do, they'll be MOCist's Corner exclusive. I might revamp it and make it even bigger, but only time will tell.

When I first became a Premier Member, I remember asking that the proto boost be given to a friend of mine. (Who payed for my Premier Membership in the first place.) To my knoledge that never happened, but some time later I noticed that I had mysteriously received another proto boost, making two proto boosts for me. Since then, I've pondered over the question of who gave me that boost and why? I never asked, since I felt that it would be impolite to go from Moderator to Moderator asking "Do you know who gave me this extra proto boost?". Instead, I decided to quietly accept my gift. It still puzzles me, though. And I don't have anything else to blog about right now anyway.

If you know how to use it, Internet Explorer gives you the option to restrict access to certain websites that you can specify. I blocked out the google ad and haven't seen it since. It's as if the ad was never even there.

Bingo. Heh, I was just trying to find a way to use all of Carapar's armor pieces.

I was browsing the BBC forum today when I came across Arpy's contest entry. I was stunned when I discovered that it looked almost exactly like a MOC that I built (but never posted) several months ago! So I finally decided that it was high time to post my own MOC. Pretty weird, isn't it?

At least I got to enter this time 'round. ToM's Va remakes beat my Canister Crab, and rightfully so. I never really expected to get past the preliminary round with an entry like that anyway. It was still fun entering. I got a lot more votes than I thought I would, so that was a kind of neat surprise. Next time we have a BBC contest, though, I'll have to make sure I read the deadline more carefully! I have a couple MOCs that I've taken pics of, so they're pretty much ready to be posted. Until then, here's a little something to think about: Stay tuned for more MOCs!

Yeah, I'm late. Again. But regardless of that, I have arrived to give you the links to my contest MOC's topic and poll. Topic Poll As I predicted (to myself when the polls started), the very entry that I thought would beat mine is doing just that. But, seeing as how I currently have 29.17% of the votes, my entry is doing pretty good for one tiny MOC. And here's an interesting fact. This is probably the first time I've had so many votes since BBC#11 when I entered Pokanu. So, to whoever it applies, thanks for voting for me! ... ........ ............. *Hits head against wall* WAAAHHH!!! I could've built more cute little MOCs and had an actual shot at winning this thing!!! I'm sad now.

Unfortunately, I don't have the pieces I'd need in the correct colors. It's a good idea, though. I'll have to find out where I can get the right pieces.

Oops, I mis-read the deadline date. Phoey, that means I could have built something else to go with it, but now it's too late. (Sometimes I really don't like being sick. )

Well, that has yet to be determined. The deadline has already past, but the topic is still open. I would have done more for the contest, but I've been recovering from a bad cold and haven't been doing much building. (My original plans were to create an entry called "My Little Rahi Petshop" where I'd have a bunch of cute little rahi and maybe even some accessories.) While we're waiting to find out whether or not I made it in, here's the entry pic: I've got pics of a couple of other MOCs too, so stay tuned! edit: As Shine pointed out in a comment, there's actually some time left. I misread the deadline date. :annoyed2:

As many of us know, instructions have been found for the yet-to-be-released Toa Mahri sets due out later this year. After looking through the instructions, I found two pieces that really caught my interest. For those of you who'd rather wait 'til the sets come out to find out what new pieces they have, I decided to use a spoiler tag. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The new mask visor. Found in Matoro, Hahli, and Nuparu. This piece, to me, looks like it has great MOCing potential. I also wonder if it might be compatible with some of the Metru kanohi as well. The new shortened Toa Metru eye piece. Found in Kongu. Great for those of us who want to use a Toa Metru head but don't want to use that extra long Toa Metru eye piece. Also has MOCing potential. I'm eager to get my hands on those pieces and see what they can be used for.

Yup, the missing forums are back up. (Although, it would have been nice to see less people taking it so seriously... )

Nah, that wouldn't be much of a prank now would it? No, they're going to let this one drag on for a while, and when they've had their laugh, they'll put the forums back up. I give it a week tops.

The "Completely Off Topic" and "Lego General Discussion" forums have, apparently, been removed. Although I think this is probably just part of yesterday's prank, some of you may not. Don't worry, it's easy for the Admins to hide certain forums from the rest of the board. All they gotta do is turn 'em back on. (On a side note, I've added categories to my blog.)

Yeah, I still MOC. Problem is, my digital camera got broken by my siblings. Just 'cuz I haven't posted any of my own MOCs for a while doesn't mean I've stopped makin' 'em. (As a matter of fact, I've got several rahi, a PBZP, and a few others. I really need to remind myself to ask my friend if I can borrow his camera... )

Another MOC (or "MOCs", I should say) has been added to the "Cool MOCs" list. This time 'round, it's toromaga's Turaga Oltab & Karaku! Check 'em out!

I was considering entering this one. Seriously. But, I ended up finding myself pressed for time, and therefore, didn't get any pics taken. I didn't have anything huge built or anything like that, so I wasn't expecting to win anything, but I would have liked to enter for fun at least. Anyway, it's too late to do anything but wait for the polls. Anyone else out there who wanted to enter but didn't find it happening?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *takes deep breath* *sniff*, I wanted to be the first to think squids were cute... Very cool drawing Turakii! Although your hair is the wrong color, that can easily be fixed with a little Photoshop editing. (Are some of the squids really partially green?)
