I saw Ice Age: The Meltdown a couple days ago. Loved it, as I did with the first movie. I also absolutely love the soundtrack. The way it conveys the general idea of the movie, its emotions, its urgencies, its triumphs, is great. Very American composing, but hey, I just love classical music more than I do any other musical genre. If anyone knows if a third movie is coming out, please let me know. ~EW~

What gets me through the day? Why, the power of positive thinking... and ignoring everyone else. As they say, if you don't like my driving, get off the sidewalk. Anyway, I didn't go to school today and learn anything, but that's not all. Incidentally, learning is the process of eliminating something you don't know. Think about it and be amazed or confused. ©1984-2008 Toaraga EAM

I was going through some books that my dad has and I found the complete Calvin and Hobbes collection. I've always loved Calvin and Hobbes, and I have a bunch of their collections, but not the entire, complete collection. I'm gonna spend the next couple of years reading them. Calvin and Hobbes FTW!

And don't forget to use that newly earned christmas money to buy '07 stuff at lowered prices! *Yami*

I saw Golden Compass today, I liked it. Hopefully it will make enough money for the next two movies. Anyway, I haven't been on much recentley and I won't be on much for the next few days too due to holiday busyness.

Today is Christmas for me! I haven't opened any presents yet, but I will in a few minutes. Merry !

Thanks to Gakurak, I am now addicted to a dance remix on what the internet is not. The internet is not-- The internet is not a big truck. The internet is not something you just dump something on. The internet is a series of tubes!... Sooo addicting... So I give a big (sarcastic) thanks to Gaku for sharing this with me, even though it seems to have taken over my life here. I have almost beaten SW: Battlefront II. The Hoth battle. Fun stuff. Shooting heavy lasers at a bunch of Rebs and seeing them all fly in a scattered heap is just too fun. But personaly, Vader sucks as a hero. The Emperor is worse. So, I have once again suffered from a lack of something to say. If my scanner worked, I could show off some of my art, including the Western Emo head drawing and my sketch of Toa Nakaii, or my renditions of other works of art. Must... make... scanner... work... ~EW~

Finally! All the stacked-up stuff I've had to do for so long is over--I've reviewed the epics I've subscribed to, I've updated my own epic, I've finally posted Chapter 5 of my comedy... It's all done! Nothing is hanging over my head! It's a strange feeling... All I have left to do is discover the emoticons' true weakness. But what is really still stunning me is something that came about as a result of my acquiring an iPod nano yesterday. People who read my blog often will recall this entry from so long ago that I don't listen to rap, nor do I enjoy, as many BZP members put it in their sigs, "real music". I've always liked classical music--and video game music, of course. So I figured with my iPod I would just upload all of my video game music on my computer to my iPod. Turns out it can't play MIDI files, and not counting the Into the Darkness chapters, only four video game songs were actually MP3 files. But there was also one, "Wizards in Winter", by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I still have no idea how the song got there, but I'm glad it did. I looked up more of their songs on iTunes and found about five that I wanted the most. I've been listening to them all day. As it turns out, I have a much different taste in music than I thought. I like rock music; I just don't like the singing. Weird, huh? I've always thought that music by itself tells a story, and the lyrics are just excess, especially if the singer is yelling more than singing. Still, maybe, if the lyrics really do tell a good story, I could learn to like them... But no one will ever get me to listen to rap, lyrics or not (well, rap isn't very much at all without lyrics anyway, IMO). Now I must go and write my epic. With the inspiring power of an iPod, I'll hopefully be at my best.

It's one of my best friends' birthday today. He just turned 16, and he'll be reading this blog entry, so if you stop by here, be sure to wish him a happy birthday! (coincidentally, his name is Greg; sound familiar?)

EW knows he has a blog and needs to update it accordingly. ... Oh! You were expecting more? I have been playing Battlefront II for the past two days. Really enjoying it. I've been toying with the instant action games and the conquest thing, as I am stuck at the Knightfall mission in story mode. Darn Temple Guards and their unlimited respawns. Stupid four bookcases. Bloody Jedi and their lightsabers. CTF is fairly fun, if not a little short. I love the times when the Imps will say "The Empire has voluntarily dropped the Rebel flag." The egoistical maniacs. Just now I completed a classification essay about castles. Yeah, castles, not Respectism. Fun stuff, those essays, and I have to admit that I am fairly good at them, if not the delays that come with them. I know you are itching for a smiley, right? ~EW~

Ah so we come to that time of year again a time of Turkey,Plum pudding,Presents and falling asleep on the couch. Though X-mas isn't all about those things it's all about family and togethrness so just be there for those close to you to play and laugh and all in all be a good person. Happy Holidays. *Yami*

You know that guy on my friends list called Yorrick Kaine? He had a hypoglycemic attack (he's diabetic and his blood sugar went way too low). So we had to go to hospital and he eventually had to stay over night. Anyway, I went to his brother's place for the night so that was fun. Other than that, not much really happened since my last update, though we will be having people over tonight for a Christmas Eve thing.

This entry is an update on things that happened while BZPower was down! My Dad and step-Mum finally got married, it was actually a pretty fun wedding, when you compare it to others... I got a new mobile from my Aunt for Christmas! My new furniture arrived!My banner got taken away because I forgot smilies count as pictures. :blush:I received and read Downfall. I can't really be bothered to go into any real detail, but if you have any questions, just ask (doubt it).

Sigh... The board offlineness has delayed the posting of my epic's 6th chapter. It will be posted on Monday and I'll have an extra chapter on Wednesday to account for the delay. My comedy chapter, which I promised would come this weekend, might not. I'm really trying to find the time to do it, but I'm so busy... For now I'm not saying when it will be posted... but hopefully sooner than later. Then there are some epics I have to review that I've been slacking on... And I have to go to my cousin's house for a party. I have much to do. In other news, I've got Vamprah, Lewa, Tanma and Solek! S@H said that I would be getting Antroz, Chirox, Pohatu and Kopaka two days ago, but they still haven't come. And the Matoran should be coming after Christmas. The new Matoran are impressively playable, as I was forced to find out. Our grandma, who ordered them from S@H for us, brought us them when we drove her to our piano recital. We opened Tanma and Solek on the way, and built them. Then the three-hour round trip was spent playing with them, taking them apart and putting them together again, switching their masks, etc. My brother built Solek, and I built Tanma, then we took them apart and switched, without instructions. Lewa is unimpressively built, just another set using the overrated Inika-style build. However, he looks incredible when finished, and he's much taller than I thought he would be. His sword and mask are awesome, and the Midak is cooler than I thought it would be. I would say that he's worth getting just for the new pieces, and the old pieces in new colors like the gray Mantax feet and the lime green Jaller/Matoro Inika torso armor. But just as a precautionary note, you may not want to order him from S@H--my Lewa came without his two jetpacks, and I'm not sure if this is all S@H Lewas, all Lewas period, or just mine (watch someone else on BZP get a Lewa with four jetpacks), but just as a warning... Vamprah is also very cool, though not having real legs can get annoying. The Tridax Pod, while a good idea, only seems to break open on some occasions (it depends on how high off the ground you hold the set), and then the Shadow Leeches will never land where you want them to (in my case, on Thulox). Still, Vamprah's mask and wings/swords are impressive, and I may buy an extra Vamprah solely for the awesome two Metru blue electro-blades. Oh, and if you're wondering why the emoticons aren't attacking me... They're on holiday break. They'll be back next week. But I won't bother to change the name of my blog back because they're going to change it back as soon as I do.

Well I have a new computer with internet access, so I can be on normally again instead of only a few times a week.

Erm... I recently discovered that I can't use spoiler tags to hide text from emoticons. But I have discovered that they are highly vulnerable to sadness--it will never be able to defeat them, but it can hold them off so I can have this entry in peace. Incoming sadness emoticons... That should hold them off. Anyway, today I had the culture fair that I mentioned a few blog entries back. The reports were interesting, but my main concern was the food--I tried several new foods and or beverages. I don't know what half of it was called, but I did discover that guava juice is really good and that Cuba has some really good sandwiches whose names escape me. There was also Chinese food, and pound cake and carrot cake (no idea what culture they were for, LOL). And there were many types of chicken, none of which I tried. My brother and I ended up bringing tuna salad. Our reasoning was that it was raw fish, which is what Greenlanders eat, after all. We had some costume issues, or at least I did--my "seal skin" boots (really just some sort of fabric we got from Wal-Mart) were just velcroed around actual boots, but the velcro didn't work correctly and I had to use tape. In the end, we had to leave before we would've liked to because I think I ate a peanut (which I am severely allergic too) in some sort of pastry, and I got a horrible stomachache. Still haven't entirely recovered... But don't worry about me. Just worry about my poor, poor blog...

I know there is a good Avatar the Last Airbender community here, and any fans please post here. I have an idea that I'm running by FFBuu so as soon as he responds to my PM information will be disclosed. I'll post a new entry with the information, but fans post under this entry.

Emoticons do not like being freewritten about. Last night, they took over my blog and changed the title and content blocks... Plus, they can now add themselves into text I type into the blog whenever they want. So if you see me using an emoticon that doesn't seem to fit, please be aware that it probably wasn't me who put it there. I'm currently working on finding their weakness, but I haven't found anything so far. Except that they can't open spoiler tags. Thus, if I want to say something undetected, and without emoticons invading, I will do it in spoiler tags. Anyway, I will now try to do a blog entry. Hopefully it'll work. If there had not been an emoticon takeover, today's entry would've read as follows: My brother and I have a strange way of playing with our Bionicle sets. It all started when we got the first of our summer 2007 sets: Maxilos and Spinax, and Matoro. We decided to battle them in an RPG-style battle--Matoro had so much HP, FP (fire power ) and MP (mask power), and various attacks. Maxilos had HP, FP and no MP because he doesn't have a mask power, and various attacks. In a turn-based battle, Matoro eventually lost. So we started an entire RPG with the Toa Mahri and various other heroes and villains, on a quest to find seven masks (three Rodes, three Olmaks, and the Ignika ). Currently the Mahri have none of the masks, and Maxilos has one. We recently took a long break and just started up the RPG again when we found a Nidhiki and a Roodaka at a Boscov's (not to mention 2 Kanoka packs--it was an excellent find ). Right now Matoro has been captured by Gadunka, who carried him up to the top of a shelf. The Toa Mahri have to find a mask to summon the Phantoka Toa Nuva to fly up there and save him... But Nocturn wants the mask too. As you can see, it's very convoluted , but it's one of the few things I enjoy doing with my brother. Geez, those emoticons are getting pretty distracting. Misuse of spoiler tag removed. See here for more details. - Nukora

The emoticons have laid siege to my blog. There's so many, but particularly of annoyance are the three Emoticon Overlords--named , , and . Each one has a slightly different personality: the first is always smiling and hardly ever talks. The second is always talking and always smiling. And the third is always laughing. They're all annoying in their own special ways. But they are all also related to happiness. Perhaps sadness is their weakness? Surely they must dislike emoticon freewriting as well. Perhaps I will be able to drive them out by Wednesday. If not, I'll need some *hinthint* brave heroes to save the blog. And perhaps then a reward will be in order? Hopefully I can get rid of them soon, no matter what the method of doing so. They've started to replace the emoticons in my blog entries with different, less-appropriate ones... I will keep trying to learn their weakness. I'll keep you posted on the situation. Wish me luck...

Eh, I'm sort of having a random moment, so I figured I'd do a random blog entry. I will start it off with an interesting statistic. 92% of teens have moved on to rap. I 100% don't care. The whole fad has sort of become a joke in the eyes of some, but so many people have it in their sigs that I'm starting to get really sick of it. I have never really taken an interest in music with singing in general--I prefer classical music, perhaps because I've been playing the piano from an early age. Call me crazy, but I don't listen to rap, nor do I even listen to this so-called "real music" that 8% of teens listen to. I guess that puts me and people like me somewhere in the 0% margin that that statistic leaves. But my point here is that the whole, probably fake, statistic really has no meaning at all and is just someone's (no offense to whoever started it) attempt at feeling powerful because they started a fad that affected a lot of BZP for a long time. When you copied and pasted that line into your sig, did you do it to proclaim to the world that you proudly do not listen to rap? Or did you just do it because you wanted to jump on the bandwagon? Not to sound harsh or anything, but I'm going to bet it was the latter. I wouldn't be surprised if someone with that in their sig actually did listen to rap. That's why the whole thing annoys me. So, I've come up with a few things you can put in your sig for the sake of irony if you disagree with this fad too, for whatever reasons you may have. I won't be using any myself, because I have too much to worry about fitting in my sig already. But you can feel free to use them without giving credit (though if you credit it to yourself, I will hunt you down*). - 92% of BZP members copy and paste fake statistics into their sigs. If you are part of the 8% who hasn't, copy and paste this into your sig. - 92% of teens have moved on to rap. 8% of teens still listen to real music. That accounts for 100% of teens, so I guess there are no deaf teenagers. - Alternatively: 92% of teens have moved on to rap. 8% still listen to real music. If you are among the 0% of deaf teenagers, copy and paste this into your sig. - 8% of teens still listen to "real music". If you're part of the 92% of teens who have moved on to rap, copy and paste this into your sig. That's all I've got for now, but perhaps I'll think of some later. *Not really, but I will contact you and tell you to stop lying.
