xccj

Wait, are you from Blaine? I always thought you were closer near Seattle (at least in northern WA...) Blain's way up North. Isn't that where they hold the Math Olympiad Championships?

Boy, band students always get to go exotic places. Enjoy your trip.

That is a very good image of Carpy. Nice editing job on it (assuming that background was edited in...)

Now I wanna buy Carapar!

I gotta agree with you on the description. The launcher is bendy... a little too much for my liking. Sure, the axle is more solid, but it doesn't stay in Mantax's hand very well. As for the squid launching... I can hardly do it, so I haven't yet had any missing squid problems. But I think I will pick up an extra packet of squiddies... if not to just place randomly on the characters.

Here's an interesting tidbit. If you squeeze the heads of the squids in the Inika's shoulder armour, they stay in pretty tight.

Yeah, the show's awesome. Its fun to see all the ways their powers work (or fail to) and all the interactions. I can't wait to see that Slider guy start fighting the others.

Well, BZPower e-mails used to be caught in my spam filter all the time.

Yeah, it’s a bummer when stuff like that happens. I’ve lost important e-mails from CollageBoard that way too. If only spam filters would catch what we don’t want and give us what we want… but technology isn’t that good. And maybe that’s all for the better…

About an hour and a half ago... sorry.

You misread me. When I said "what's the point in that" I was talking about the school's decision to add more days, not xccj.

 

What was my point here? Oh, yeah, I was ranting on about my misfortunes that don't really apply to me just to come up wiht an interesting blog entry.

Maybe I'll post something phycological next.

Yeah. Once people see what kind of stories other people can write, they may rethink their eagerness to review. I know a few of my older stories made me cringe after reading them a few years afterwards. :annoyed2:

;.;

 

I have no finished epics to enter... well, technically I do... but CoVH is not exactly a literary masterpiece, Slizer and Slizer 2 are nothing to do with Bionicle... darn, I really want to enter as well...

 

Well, good luck to ya, I'll be looking for your name in the polls.

 

Don't tell me you're not going to enter CoVH?

"Life is unfair". I hate it that we always need to be reminded of that.

Yeah, we did get alot of snow here in SW Washington. It sure beats the sprinkles we got last week. And it's actually pretty good snow for sledding. Not often that Portland sees snow like this. Enjoy it while it lasts, and drive safely. Even if you have to deal with traction, friction, and other random physics terms.

Bleh. "Sick days off from school are only fun if you're faking them." When you're really sick, they're never much fun. Hope you're gettin' better.

If Brickfest is only in Portland this year, then I may have to show up anyhow. Of course, I am busy that particular weekend...

Too true. You can complain that nobody ever reads your work and that you'll stop writing to no audience, but unless you go out and read other people's work, you're a hipocrite (sp?). Some of my best reviewers were fellow authors whose work I read as well. I used to read alot of stories, and last year I was regularly reviewing a half dozen epics or so. But now, all the authors I used to know have either stopped writting or dissapeared entirely, for one reason or another. And as much as I want numerous reviews for every story I post, I no longer go around reviewing other works unless I'm directly requested to.

I am totally in awe of all you Epic Critic Reviewers... it takes alot of time to actually go and read somebody's story, and when you have so many of them, it must be nearly impossible. Two years ago, I probably would've joined and contributed a bit, but today I'm too busy to even write my own epics. So power to you, and I hope that more people start reviewing as well as writing.

I heard about that. When I first heard of the earthquake, I was thinging of big waves crashing into people or whatever. Never occured to me that all those underwater cables were at risk. I guess there are limits to technology.

Hope everything's working for you, and that your Internet speeds up.

Wait... why not pink?

Oh well, it's magenta.

Day after... eve eve... egads.

Hey, I'm not the only one who obsesses over how many stars he has. Or not.

You're blog's not half bad.

While the movie wasn't half bad, the book has more funny, random things in it, plus you have a slightly better understanding of what's going on... sometimes.

I wear glasses, but I can still see without them (things just get a bit fuzzier). The rest of the information is confidential (do I have eyes... I've never seen them...)

I hate head colds. I get them so often that I could never take a singing-thingy. It sounds like you have alot of work to do... but make sure to get over your cold. Being sick is no fun.

Everybody likes a handful of stars.

Congrads.

But, really, it's freaky how things sorta link up together, but remember that the movie is just an assumption of what would happen,

Are you saying that Hollywood isn't an acurate representation of reality? Who knew?

If you read the last four or so entries, you can watch xccj slowly turning insane...

No, I've just been better at hiding it before now.

I think this whole popsicle thing can go far.... maybe a hot topic in COT...

Now there's a marketing Bionicle gimic that I would buy.

Nice one, Bink.

Well, I'm sure if we had more story contests, you'd win a few more. I mean, we're on Epic Contest #5, Short Story Contest #3, while they're on BBC Contest #97... or something like that.

Anyway, I enjoyed your story, and congrads on your win. My own reaction wasn't too much different from yours.

Wow, another one of my favorite songs. Liked the lyrics, but didn't know all those tidbts. Nice, Smeag.
