    Dontcha hate it when you happen to be in head-over-heels-in-love for the first time in your life, then you decide to let that person know how you really feel about them, and they reply that they're already sorta in a relationship, want to be "just friends," and tell you it'd never work out? And that they already pretty much knew the way you felt, so you've just humiliated yourself for nothing? And don't you hate it when, even after this, you still love them, just now with that terrible overbearing presence of their gentle rejection?
     
    Yeah, I hate that.

    IT IS AMAZING.
     
    BZPower is like... HD, man. Whoa. Personally, though, I'm finding it a little tough in the transition between Mac and PC - I barely know how to operate some of the stuff on this computer. Meh. However, the breathtaking beauty of the graphics when I plugged in a little Age of Empires III more than made up for that. This is a change for the better.
     
    Being on break feels really good, doesn't it? I have actual time to make my MOCs, watch 4 episodes or so of House in a day, go to movies, and more. Zero obligation, at least for this next week, is golden.

    2011 LEGO Bricks

    By Nuju Metru,

    Got myself some today at my local TRU. Unfortunately, I was unable to pick up the large 2011 Atlantis set that I had desired, but I did nab some other great stuff, including Stormer and Evo 2.0's.
     
    Dare I say, they are rather awesome. Definitely a whole new direction in the way of LEGO action figures - I like it. I await seeing some nice MOCs which will use the new joints in cool ways. Pretty much every part is new. These Heroes are flippin' sweet.
     
    On an unrelated note, yesterday, the cast list for my production of Les Miserables (best show ever) was posted. I am Thernadier. Mixed feelings on that, feelings which I don't feel like going into because the situation is complicated and I tried to write a lengthy blog entry about it last night but then my computer (still the PC, iMac isn't set up yet) died and took the entry-in-the-works with it so I lost heart in sharing said thoughts in said verbose manner. Anyway, there you have it.

    And that astonishing beauty was given to me to replace this four-year-old PC I'm on now, which is totally virus, pop-up, and inconvenience-ridden. Ohmygod. I would pay to have seen my face when I saw this thing.

    So I was thinking earlier this weekend about the "good ol' days" of my love of BIONICLE. And I wondered to myself, what's changed? Why don't new sets feel as awesome as they used to, so thrilling to open, so exciting to put together? Maybe it's because I've gotten older and more "mature." To those theories I say Bah. That can't be it.
     
    Therefore, I reflected not upon why things might've gone bad for me - but rather, upon what made them so awesome back then. The last time I remember feeling truly excited was back in the Phantoka days. I pondered about what things had made opening new sets so exciting before.
     
    The easy answer was that I didn't know what to expect.
     
    Before I joined up here and became web-savvy, I would only see new sets when they came out, no earlier, really - just that one picture in the catalog, which I always awaited eagerly, would be what I had to go on. These days, I'm exposed to in-depth reviews ahead of time, and pictures even earlier than that. I see exactly what the sets look like from every angle. And thus, that set loses its wonder. A few days ago, I came to this conclusion, and felt iffy looking at sets again.
     
    I've decided that I don't want to know, anymore. I won't read any new reviews, look at any new pictures - hopefully, those first looks I got, since they were brief, will fade from my mind if I don't let them fester. Hopefully I will, when I finally get my hands on one of the new heroes or villains, tear it open the packaging and pour out the pieces in joy and excitement, not really knowing what I'm getting.
     
    Next line, I'm going to try and stop myself from looking at anything before they come out. Let's hope for the sake of my inner child that I can resist temptation.

    The Worst Is Over

    By Nuju Metru,

    The intense scheduling that was my life this past week has at last eased up. This makes me happy. Hopefully it means I'll be more active next month, too.
     
    I feel like I'm boring these days. It's a little unnerving.

    Getting up on stage on an Opening Night performance! Bye Bye Birdie was a ton of fun, and I'm looking forward to a weekend of even more!
     
    In terms of Nano, I dunno if I can do this. November happens to inconveniently be the least free month I've had all year, and I'm now, what, 9000-ish words back? Not looking too hot, is my novel. :/

    Brief Update

    By Nuju Metru,

    On a few topics;
     
    NaNo - currently at around 3900 words, going for 5000 by the end of tonight, so I can actually be caught up to date. The novel is coming well, just wrote the first chapter, and am happy with it. And I bid good luck to my fellow Wrimos, can't wait to see some of your works!
     
    Theater - closing in on the opening of Bye Bye Birdie. This week and the next are our intense rehearsals. It's a blast.
     
    RPG reboot - for the record, I'm in favor of the coming revamping of the BZPRPG. Fresh is good, as is the new blood we're bound to get.
     
    Giants - I still can't believe we won it all. I missed the victory parade that happened in the city today, though - I didn't think cutting school would be worth it. But the day sucked, so it would definitely have been.
     
    Other - Not much to say. Life is good, nothing to complain about.
     
    ...Alright that's it, I gotta get back to work. Byeo.

    Nano And Tv

    By Nuju Metru,

    NANO TOMORROW OMGWOW
     
    Problem is, I have a long rehearsal that day (3:30-8:30) as well as (most likely) homework. Odds are I won't write on that day, but I hope I can! I finally figured out my protagonist (thank you SOSOSO much, Lady K!), and with that, I think I'm ready at last. Don't expect to see much of me this month, I hope - if I'm on BZP and not writing, then I'm slacking and that's a bad thing.
     
    On an unrelated note, I saw the premiere of The Walking Dead with my friends tonight. That has to have been the most gory, grotesque, disturbing, awesomely violent 90 minutes of TV I have ever seen. It was surprisingly really well-done, too. I recommend it to those of you with strong stomachs.

    Nano And Theater

    By Nuju Metru,

    I really gotta get cramming on NaNoWriMo before monday - there's a lot I have left to pre-write, like character names/backgrounds, and a basic plot outline. Hope I can get it all in time! And on a side note, I'm going to go see West Side Story tomorrow - looking forward to that!
