Here's a little vignette (is that the right word?) of a cabin in the woods, complete with fireplace and outhouse. I would've added a door, roof removal system, and window details, but alas and a lack (of pieces). Enjoy! General View Outhouse Interior EDIT: I have no idea how "peices" got in the title. Oops.

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 Hey guys, just filling you in on my life on this random Tuesday. Yeah, college has begun to get really busy... It's been a month since I've been home. I haven't had time to do things like watching BONICLE: The Legend Reborn. It's sad, I know, but otherwise I'm really enjoying myself. I tell you, freshman year of college is a heck of a lot better than freshman year of highschool, socially, and maybe even academically. And the work I do pays off; I'm getting some good grades in some formidable classes. Aaand that's pretty much the story of my life for the past four-five weeks. My roommates are, of course, total BUMS who play video games while I try to finish the same homework they have to deal with later in the week. Lol, I still gotta love em.

Saurday, August 29, 2009 This happened on August 14, 2009, while the forums were still down. I always thought the odds were so great that I would never see this! Maybe some of you noticed, too.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 Seeing this blog again is a beautiful thing. Being off this website for a month was both an inconvenience and a delight. What resulted in the loss of forums, PMs, and blogging allowed room for a certain leisure time from my usual activities here. And although I haven't really spent the last month thinking of what to say at this time, I do have some important things to talk about - about my venturing into a new phase of my life, as well as the state of this blog and its Farshtey Feed in the near future. I won't start with that stuff right away. Actually, I'd like to take this opportunity to spread some good word about this Christian Zanier guy who illustrated the recent "Hydraxon's Tale" comic included in the Papercutz Graphic Novel #6 and will illustrate the upcoming Legends of Bara Magna this February. If you bought the Bionicle Graphic Novel #6: The Underwater City - which awesomely includes a print version of Ignition #6 - you already know that Zanier sets a whole new precedent for artistry in Bionicle comics. I was taken aback by his mastery over lighting, composition, and dynamism when I first read through the comic, and it warms my heart that the Bionicle series finally has an artist with an acute appreciation for the detail and accuracy that a Lego product warrants. I mean, he colors in those darn little red pins and makes them look good. I recommend that you pick this book up, and keep your heads up for Zanier's February release. I look through the pages of Sayger's work that is printed in the book beforehand, and I laugh. I mean, the guy was encouraged to pursue an abstract style, but Bionicle models are by nature anything but abstract. I was overjoyed when we got Leigh Gallagher and Ulises Arreola in 2008, and the style continued into this year with Pop Mhan. But I never thought we could get better than that. Kudos to Papercutz for making a truly excellent selection. Hey, you probably noticed that I changed my blog title again. So what once was "This Isn't Awkward At All/But expect to be" is now "I Am the Writer/You are the Reader." For the sake of clearing up any confusion. I've been in the midst of a few projects as well. For starters, I reached a point in July where I said, "What the heck, I'll make an entry for that Kyry contest." So I built this awesome little man, which you can see in my Brickshelf link at the bottom of this entry. I don't know what's really up with the German IDBM's contest with regard to the BZP hiatus, but I do want to give him a shot. The Core War short story contest has been on my mind as well. I have started a story, thought out a skeleton plot, and not been diligent in completing it. But what I've written so far has been a lot of fun. I'm going to make it good. With a deadline until the end of September, I think even I have a chance of finishing. There has been a third Bionicle-related thing I've been involved with during the hiatus. Just keep your ears open for that one, I guess. It'll reveal itself in time. No need to ask about it. And, well, that's the sparknotes version of the Bionicle part of my life for the last 30 days - eager to get back to the OGD (I realized how much I enjoy having it around) and to the routine of the Farshtey Feed. I bought a few sets, not the least of which would be Toa Mata Nui of the long-awaited gold Ignika. And now I get to talk about another part of my life. College. It was inevitable - I'm entering my first wonderful year of college. On Friday. There are two things I am certain about my coming years in college: A, that I will have enormously good times, and B, that I will have an enormously crowded schedule. Yup, you asked it. Will I have time for BZP, or won't I? I don't have an answer. How much leisure time I spend on my Bionicle hobby during college is really up to me. How much leisure time I will have is an issue that hinges upon my classes and professors, and I can't tell the future. But if I did have some sort of crystal ball, it would be the knowledge that I'm taking: Intro to Chem Intro to Engineering Calculus III Some good ol Latin I Phys Ed, for some reason And some seminar course that doesn't really matter Just ... give me a slap on the back and wish me the best, ladies and gentlemen. I am, in a way, leaving. But I am not vanishing. I will still be here - on the internet. I am going to be around BZP, for the sake of whoever cares that I am. Will I have time for Farshtey Feed updates? I certainly hope so. How much of an overlogged lifestyle can stop me from taking an hour or so of my week to publish the next entry? FF is simple - it doesn't take much time, nor is it very difficult. It's something I do. Maybe I'll simply get rid of the images to ease the process, if I must. In the worst-case scenario, I will ask if someone else would please take up the torch. But that shoudn't have to happen. I have every confidence I will be able to keep tabs on Bionicle news, thanks to BZP. I'll be around. But school will be tough. That's all of any update I have for now. I say goodbye to some friends and look forward to making new ones, and continue to mature into an adult human being. Thanks for reading! FF may not get an entry this Friday - so much is happening that day, all day. Goodbye! Links Kyry Gallery

Tuesday, July 7, 2009 The bomb has dropped. The world has stopped. Nothing will be the same again. I've changed my blog title. Old: You're Awesome/Don't Let the Title Fool You New: This Isn't Awkward At All/But expect it to be

Sunday, July 5, 2009 Yes, I've really been wanting to change the title of this blog for a while now. It's old, it's stale, and it was never really that good. So I'll come up with something new. You'll see.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 I'm back home now. I guess I'll explain it again: I went the last nine days without an internet connection or television. Basically I was cut off from the media. And now I've come back to a world where celebs are dropping like flies. As if Bernie Mac wasn't shocking enough.

Thursday, June 18, 2009 So, I'm about to embark on my journey. But you know those hotels with wi-fi? I'll be waking up in one on Friday morning, so I guess the Feed's still on for this week. Next Friday, on the other hand, is still hopeless. Lol.

Tuesday, June 16, 2009 Not that it really matters, but in case it does, tomorrow I will be heading for the hills, so to speak, and will not be back until the end of June. I will have no TV, no XBOX, shoddy cell reception, and no internet access during this time. So the Farshtey Feed is off for two weeks. I will continue it as soon as I get back (that's gonna be a huge entry, am I right?). So that's all there really is to say. Me, gone, June 17-28...ish. Thanks. Bye.

Saturday, February 28, 2009 There occurs a time every year, always February-March, when I tend to forget about Bionicle and BZPower for a while and retreat into real life. This pattern has made itself evident over the course of pretty much all my years as a fan of Bionicle; it's a curious thing, but I do, obviously, get back into it every time. I suppose this is so because nothing really happens Bionicle-wise in these months, and also because I'm always faced with taking care of a dozen other obligations simultaneously during the mid-third-quarter period. This is common among my friends and may be common among some of you. So, what have I been doing? Same as usual. I update the Farshtey Feed, though Greg himself, tireless champion of the Official Greg Discussion though he is, took a little hiatus for a while -- like everyone else needs to. I will soon be a man and then a high school graduate, and, from there, a college student. Life is good.

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 Greg Farshtey is on hiatus, so I no longer have anything in particular to blog about on Fridays. It's a small load off my back. I'm gone this Friday, anyway.

Wednesday, January 14, 2009 Here I am, well-rested at 6:00 AM after sleeping since 8:00. Such are the wonders of completing all work at school and coming home with none of it. I've often pondered, since my younger and more vulnerable years in first grade, and I've come to realize that without homework, school really wouldn't be bad at all. With a little elbow grease and some good habits, you can maintain a pretty good schedule. Which nobody can realistically do. And with four AP classes, I think I got lucky, not hard-working (I do that already). Speaking of things they, oops, did again... We got just about the worst forecast ever for two days straight. "Oh, there's gonna be a blizzard, guys. Probably gonna close the schools." Much like yesterday, there's no snow. There's not even a stiff breeze. Outside my window I see vehicles rolling happily down a well-plowed street. And now I have to get going. I have to go to school.

Tuesday, January 13, 2009 I've honestly woken up at 5:15 AM just now. It probably has something to do with the fact that I flopped down to bed nearly twelve hours before this. I think I should just start a category called "Sleep." Seriously, there are entries here and there that chronicle the first moments high school started to wreck my sleeping habits. It all started in July 2006, summer school... Search for an entry named "Cycle of Doom," or whatever I called it. Entries like those are historic to my life.

Thursday, January 1, 2009 Graaaah, haven't blogged all year. Happy 2009 everyone! Remember those magical minutes after the New Year tolls in... "I haven't slept all year." "I haven't eaten all year." "I haven't been to the bathroom all year." "I've been standing up all year." "Shower? Please, I haven't taken one all year." "Go outside? I've been in my house all year." "Haven't seen you all year, man." "I haven't gone downstairs all year." "I haven't been online in a year." "Where's the cat? Haven't seen her all year." "No one's called me all year..." "I haven't climbed the stairs in a year... someone please re-teach me? Oof--" Be relentless as you can.

Tuesday, December 23, 2008 ^When checking the date just now, I just realized that Christmas is two days from now instead of tomorrow. Meaning I'm not going to Mass tonight. What a dummy... Anyway. I noticed the other day that my user profile rating has gone back up to five stars. Thank you guys.

Sunday, December 21, 2008 I'm choosing a cell phone from Verizon Wireless. I have a problem: the ones I've seen are absolutely terrible. And I mean terrible. Cell phones are the worst they've ever been. There are too many screens, too many smooth surfaces that get smudged up. The buttons are tiny. Touch screens are totally dysfunctional. The menu screens are a gaudy red and black. Nothing about the designs is intuitive. Any good suggestions? What model do you own?

I almost missed this -- in a few hours or so, my year spinny changes from Vakama's Huna to Norik's head. That's four years, guys.
