    deep thoughts

    By Nathan Evo,

    So while the forums have been down I've been taking some time to reflect on my time on BZPower. Which has been... twelve years? Spooky. That's the Furno XL helmet year, right?
     
    Anyway, all I could think about was how I came off as a cynical, jaded curmudgeon who treated everyone poorly. And that's not who I want to be known as. I want to be better than that.
     
    So from now on*, expect a different Gerlicky/Nathan Evo**- one who's just generally a lot more pleasant to talk to and be around. I know I can't change the past (and trust me, I have a lot of regrets from way back when), but hopefully things will be different going forward.

    So a few years ago, I wrote a blog entry detailing the ten minifigs I felt were the personal best ever made by LEGO. Since then, however, there have been a few new minifigs I felt were worthy of making the list. As such, I've decided to make an updated list.
     
    1. SPACE PIMP
     

     
    2. Shaquille O'Neal
     

     
    3. Lumpy Space Princess
     

     
    ...yeah I lied there's only three everyone go home

    Today I managed to obtain a super-rare Bionicle mask that, as far as I know, is completely one-of-a-kind. Sure, there are 14-karat Haus and Platinum Avohkiis, but those ain't got nothing on my BRAND NEW PURPLE IGNIKA

    All right, folks. Here's the skinny.
     
    I did NOT want to post this entry. I was hoping to get much more of this thing done before I finally revealed it to BZP. Unfortunately, recently a certain issue has come up, leading me to the point where I finally need to actually reveal this thing to the public.
     
    This is a project I've been working off-and-on for the last two years. Obviously more recent things got in the way, the most noteworthy of which being a job that pays me real, actual money in exchange for me coming home so tired I don't feel like turning on the computer or doing anything. I'm not going to give away too many details just yet, but I can safely say it's going to be quite different from my previous "big projects" on BZP.
     
    I now leave you with these three sprites so you can speculate what it is until next week or so:

    I'm AGING

    By Nathan Evo,

    I spend a lot of time on the mobile edition of BZP. It cuts out a lot of details, like signatures and stuff, but it shows posts and that's all I really need, honestly.
     
    Well, for whatever reason today I switched over to the full version and found I had one of those nine-year Tahu masks by my profile. NINE YEARS.
     
    You know that feeling where time feels like a blur and you don't really care about your age and then WHAM it all catches up to you? Yeah. That's what I'm feelin'.

    I'm Back

    By Nathan Evo,

    Okay, that's a lie. I never really left. I've been visiting BZP for a while, but I haven't been posting for a few reasons:
     
    1. I now have a job which takes up a good amount of my time but provides me with a secure income
    2. I've been busy working on a huge project I've been working on for about a year or so now
    3. I have found no reasons for me to post anything
     
    But, yeah, I guess I sorta feel like using this thing and getting my money's worth of this lifetime Premier Membership I've got going on. So, yeah, maybe you'll be seeing a little more of me. A little.

    Pop Quiz

    By Nathan Evo,

    Don't worry, this isn't graded. I just felt like conducting a little poll of sorts. Don't know if I'll use the results for anything, though.
     
    Anyway, aside from the Toa Mata, who is your favorite BIONICLE character?

    bbc(c?)#69

    By Nathan Evo,

    sounds cool and all but the prize is totally going to be a clear Tahu mask and I've already got one of those and while I'd love to win a second one just so some of you more obnoxious-types can't have it I just can't bring myself to win something I already have
     
    plus I'm kinda terrible at MOCing

    also

    By Nathan Evo,

    got the Protectors of Earth and Stone
     
    the Earth one is a really solid set well worthy of accompanying Onua
     
    the Stone one is pretty lame in comparison, and no one will ever be able to convince me that burnt orange and transparent neon lime green is in any way a good color scheme, especially when blurry leaked images actually made them look more like the flatter transparent yellow

    The new bonkles sets didn't come out before Christmas where I live, which was kind of a shame. Did pretty well otherwise, though. Got a good amount of stuff, but I'll just list the stuff people are more likely to care about:
     
    -Umbra
    -both the Toa Hagah
    -Flain, Vulk, and Zaptor, completing my Mixels collection for now
    -two Star Wars sets I wanted just for the astromech minifigs
    -an unopened mask pack containing a blue Akaku and lime green Rau (neither of which I had before today)
    -two bonkles pens: the Tahu one and a limited edition one I had never heard of, which is pretty neat
    -this thing

    wow

    By Nathan Evo,

    I just looked back at some of my blog entries from a few years ago or something and wow have I changed
     
    also please don't look back at any of my older blog entries
     
    no really there isn't anything notable there

    What? You thought I lied? That I'd never be Premier again? That there would never be a blog named "FREE EASY MONEY!!!"?
     
    Think again.
     
    Awesome Christmas present, eh? Lifetime Premier membership. (Includes a FREE* proto boost!) Yes, I have gone Premier for as long as BZPower lives. And I won't forget about the blog!
     
    Man, there's so many things that happened after the day my blog died... I'm going to go ahead and blabber them all out!
     
    It all started October 31. Halloween.
     
    My dad and I decided to skip the trick-or-treating this year and stay home and scare the kids for a change. By the time it was over, I had only a few victims.
     
    My job was that I would be "chained" to the bench in my Buster (from Mythbusters) helmet from two Halloweens ago. (I call the costume "Buster's Revenge".) So, I chained myself to the bench and waited.
     
    The first victims walked up to the candy and tried to grab it while they were pretty much terrified that I would jump up and scare them.
     
    That was exactly what I did.
     
    I looked and the brave one who tried to get candy was on the floor. I asked if they were okay, then I let them have their candy. They stepped down off the porch.
     
    That's when my dad jumped out of the bushes in a gorilla suit.
     
    --------------------
     
    I found the best book ever before leaving for Thanksgiving vacation where I began to question whether or not people would really tell if I was on vacation or not. The book is called "BAT BOY LIVES!" It's several entries from faux newspaper "Weekly World News". I might tell some articles here, such as "SANTA FOUND FROZEN IN CHUNK OF ICE!" and "FOUR PEOPLE ENTER PORTABLE TOILET... AND MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR!"
     
    The bookstore I usually pass was not on the way to the hotel, so I couldn't get it there. The Borders at the mall in my destination didn't have it. So I was stuck without this incredible book until the end of the vacation. :angry: I managed to get to the usual bookstore and find it, though, so it had a happy ending.
     
    --------------------
     
    Many things came between then and now... I can't remember them all... I'll just skip them and go to Christmas.
     
    I did GREAT! My "goal" this year is to collect all 2008 Bionicle sets, and I only have Gali, Gorast, and Vultraz left! I managed to get Rockoe T3, Axalara T9, Skrall, Malum, Atakus, Raanu, Zesk, and Tarduk! (Hmm, same order as when I got the Toa Mata. I smell conspiracy.) Coincidentally, I obtained Pohatu and Lewa Phantoka 365 days before!
     
    I also got a blue DS Lite. (My old one was broken anyway.) Not nearly as rare as Blade Titan974's golden one, but still pretty shiny. I also read about the DSi, which will ocme to the US later in 2009. I want it, too! WANT WANT WANT. But my DS Lite will still come in handy, as the DSi can't play GBA games like Quest for the Toa and Matoran Adventures.
     
    Know what else I got? The computer I'm posting this on! Yup, I got a laptop! It's blue and it's pretty small. It doesn't have MalWarrior on it. (Thank Mata Nui!) The only problem is the shrinking text... But I'll find a way around it. I really like it.
     
    I also recieved the Chuck Norris 2009 Box Calendar.
     
    --------------------
     
    So that's mainly what's been going on with my life that no one cares about. I hope you actually managed to read this, as I wasted, like, hours typing this junk.

    month of chima

    By Nathan Evo,

    I'm disappointed. I thought the box would contain an unconscious Rick Astley, whom, upon awakening, would be forced to perform Never Gonna Give You Up for Six's amusement.
