I saw it last night. It was kind of a letdown. Too much exposition, not enough action; I'm not sure who the movie was directed toward.I felt like falling asleep because of all the talkingEmotions were lacking.Transitions were choppy to cram in all the places and story elements.Ten-hour story crammed into less than two hours, never good since so much has to be cut (standard).I think it also lacked the comedic element that made the show light-hearted; it just seemed so serious (even Soaka-- er, Sokka).Pronunciation = For all the exposition and dialogue, people seemed to know certain stuff without explanation. :/Needs more Appa and Momo ©1984-2010 Toaraga EAM

C. I. R. C. L. E. "what's In A Name?" Blog Contest
Auserv: Toa-Kal of Emotion posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_1004
Over at his blog, Toa_Ausar is hosting a contest in which entrants create names for various categories, where the best names will be inducted into C.I.R.C.L.E. fanon (i.e., everyone in the C.I.R.C.L.E. will use the winning names when those things come up in their epics). The grand prize winner for each category will receive copies of Graphic Novels 8 and 9. The contest is open to all BZPower members. If you're interested in entering, click the banner above or see this blog entry for more details and to enter. I'm debating the usefulness of making this entry, since I don't have that many people who read my blog, but I might as well just do my part to spread the word. -
I now have a PS3! I thought I'd never get one! It's one of those awkward old ones that doesn't do backwards capability (agggh), but I bought it from a friend for a epic price. I'm just so thankful I was able to get one. Haven't had any problems with it yet. If any of you have one, my account on psn is Lady-Kaguya. I only own Mirror's Edge and Uncharted now, though. It honestly should have been the last thing for me to buy when I'm so busy with work and future plans, but meh, I needed to spoil myself. It's been a rough few years. Sorry about the commission stuff again...I swear, every time I promise to get that started I get sick. You guys are going to have to bear with me, my state is too unpredictable to make any promises. And it's driving me crazy because I worry about work and college... Anyhow, don't worry, isn't as bad as it sounds. I'm training myself to just worry about today, and not tomorrow. The tactic is surprisingly very helpful and stress-relieving. Haven't been on BZP much besides lurking...what's going on in the forums? How are all you guys doing? Anything my Dory-like self forgot to mention or anything? EDIT: put my content blocks all on one side again because of the larger banners effecting the comments.

Why does it take so long for an order to go from Alberta to Michigan? I understand that the processing's prolly different than here in America, but I figure that if they just shipped it over the border at Montana (and customs honestly wouldn't take more than a day or two [and that's pushing it]) and then let the USPS take it from there it wouldn't take as long as it is. It would most likely take another 2-4 days to reach here, as it takes 3-5 days to ship from California to here. And then there's the fact that I'm unsure if Canada Post even ships stuff on Saturdays, which would account for why it's taking so long. So maybe I'm being impatient. I just figure (especially since I've been to Alberta multiple times) that it wouldn't take this long to ship stuff. Guess I'm sticking with Airmail from now on. And I guess I wouldn't be having to wait so much if I had bought stuff from sellers in America, but the prices and parts were just to good to pass up.

Bahaha, told you. ~EW~

I was in Best Buy yesterday, and the guy beside me was looking at iPads. He told his wife that "you could never fill 16GB in your life". I kinda laughed and he looked at me and I told him I could. It's just weird how different the perspective on technology is for different people. For the average person, 16GB really is a ton of space. The tech-savvy could tag a zero on the end and still fill up the whole thing. Oh, and they need to make 160GB Touches. I'd be in heaven.

So, if I can find some of these dudes in a nearby store, I'm totally picking them up. They look so much better than Bionicle. And I could always use some new pieces (if the entry below this didn't give it away, I'll just go ahead and say it: I like getting new pieces. They tend to make me want to build stuff)
-
I know that I could prolly just do a search and compile ever bit of info that I find, but I figured it'd be easier for me to just ask right here. I'm trying to figure out who I should expect to see there.

EW is still hurtin' for money to go to BrickFair. And time is drawing short. In two weeks, I'll be away from home until BrickFair time rolls in (with the sole exception of a weekend) so that complicates things further. Basically, if you have money you can send and you either have not done so already or you did not know about this before, SEND IT IN. XD It would be really, really, realllyyy loved by those who wanna see me there, and not to mention I. At this point, I'll take anything and everything from a Washington to a Franklin (or a Hamilton, if you have any!). PM me and we can work out the address things. I've been trying to raise money on my own end, but things got hard for me to do so when finals rolled in and all sorts of other schedule monkey wrenches screwed me over, and I barely raised a hundred bucks, and my schedule as planned for the next weeks doesn't seem too promising, so unfortunately, I turn back to you guys, even though I really didn't want to look like some beggar who depends on other's graces and hogs everything-- I promise, this ain't me! I'm really a good guy. So, that said, any and all donations and/or loans would be veryyyy much loved and appreciated, and I hope to make it up to y'all. ~EW~

Portal 2 is going to be great .

So apparently I have no decision in anything anymore...the marching band director from the high school came over the other day and made us do marching steps. I hated it. I found it stupid and awkward and geeky...that's not me. At all. So I told my mom that, said I kinda wanted to drop out. She went on about it all afternoon, all about how I'd love it and how it was important for colleges to see I was involved in something. Then she told me that if I dropped out of marching band, I had to do community service. I'm not going to work at a church. I'm not going to give back to this community - it doesn't give me anything. It's not who I am. I don't wanna pretend to be someone else for a college, and then for a job. Honestly, the only thing that's ever interested me even slightly is music. The music I like, and not just any stupid marching music. I love to write my songs. I love the idea of the creative process of putting music to the lyrics. I love the concept of going across the country as a trio and playing that music, and talking to other people who love music, and other people who care about music as much as I do. It's not some stupid "I wanna be a rockstar" dream - I couldn't care less about fame. I just wanna make some music, make enough money to get by, and share that music with people who actually CARE about it. Is that really too much to ask? I'm definitely not interested in doing anything else.

I keep on getting a "cannot load library client" when I try playing Portal. And nothing that I've tried has worked.

First thing's first-- I'd like to inform everyone that I will be offline for the rest (or at least most) of the weekend. We're currently on a camping trip and as such will not have much access to the internet. Second, plans with "The C.I.R.C.L.E." are going great. Lots of new things are being planned; some activities will be members' exclusive, while most will be an extended hand to the rest of the BZPower community. We want to show BZP who we are, and what better way to do it than to include all BZP'ers in some of our contests, discussions, and news? Also, for those of you following "Spirit Fable", rest assured that the newest chapter is being hammered out. I have lots of different projects under my wing and most of them have been pushed to the back burner, but now that school's over they will be easier to get to. Speaking of summer, I have lots of things planned. I'm going to be attending the music camp at Cedarville University once more this summer, and I'll also be attending another music camp titled Camp Electric. Cheesy name, I know, but the stuff that is taught there seems to be great and along the lines of what I like. Oh, and my parents also decided to buy a huge trailer camper, so more of these weeklong/weekend camping trips should be expected. Between these two things, I should be getting a small job doing office work (Yes!) over at the medical practice that my mom works at. Should make for an interesting job. And of course, there's BrickFair '10. As it stands, I will be attending and bringing my Kopaka Mosaic piece. I still need to get the 32x32 baseplate and pieces for that, by the way. :blush: And last, since my surgery has been rescheduled to August 3rd (or was it the 5th?(, that means that I'll probably be a bit sore and maybe even moody at BrickFair '10. I'll try to be as friendly as can be, but please please please try not to get on my bad side *cough*EeDoubleyou*cough*. And yeah, there's the update. Now I need to go and get ready for the end of school celebration: A trip to the very large Dayton Mall with Dotå. Until I return~ ~Kohilå*** Spirit Fable Epic ~ Review ***

Well, I haven't blogged in a while, so I'm just writing this to say that I'm on vacation in Charleston, South Carolina for the next week. I have Internet access at the place I'm staying, but for the most part I'll be out and about (at beaches or sightseeing) during the days and will probably be mostly gone from BZPower and other sites I frequent (though, to those who have my e-mail address, Gtalk address, or AIM screen name, I will still be answering e-mails and will try to get on AIM and Gtalk once a night). I'm hoping to use the week away from most of the Internet to write. Book 7, which I decided like 2 years ago would be called What If? (breaking the series tradition of four-word titles ), is doing well so far. I'm almost 3 chapters (or perhaps more accurately, about 10,000 words in, because I've been kind of jumping around as far as chapters go) in so far, but I'm hoping to get a lot done over this vacation. The book so far is a lot different from anything I've done - it's largely episodic rather than a flowing narrative. It's also told entirely in first person, except for a short scene at the beginning of each chapter, inspired by how in crime dramas you might see the murder being committed in the first scene while the rest of the show is the characters trying to figure out what led to what the viewer saw at the beginning. In this case, since the premise is that the characters are going to all the alternate timelines, figuring out what made them alternate, and fixing them to line up with the main one, we see the first major divergence from the main timeline in that first scene (though I will be shamelessly using the butterfly effect, so what you see in the first scene will rarely ever be the first divergence point). Again much different from my previous epic is the tiny cast - just three main characters. Many series regulars (the other Toa-Kal, the Dyteeli characters, Onathei, Auserv and his team, etc.) will be appearing, but because the group is working on a different timeline each chapter, the characters besides the main three don't stay consistent. One chapter, the divergence point might involve Dyteeli, so we'll see Barnoka, Krandorn, Zirralo, etc., and the next chapter it'll be on Metru Nui and that chapter won't have any series regulars. I don't plan to introduce many or any new characters, since I have (I recently counted) 96 named characters already available for me to use, but I will be using many more canonical characters whereas previously I had only used the Barraki and a few Dark Hunters. When I get home next Sunday or the day after, I will post a proper preview of Book 7 with a short excerpt. The book should begin to be posted on July 19th. As per usual, plans are for it to have a prologue, an epilogue, and 20 chapters. Updates will generally be on Fridays (except for the Prologue and Epilogue, which will both probably be posted on Mondays). As usual, anyone who wants a PM notification at the time the book is launched can feel free to ask. Since Book 6 was rather sparingly reviewed (by which I mean - only Takuta-Nui reviewed at all ), I'm kind of hoping for a larger audience this time around, so I would be more than happy to even give notifications every chapter if it would get me back up to the number of regular reviewers I had during Books 4 and 5. It just feels kind of pointless to be writing for only one person, and while at this point I'm finishing the series just for my own gratification no matter what anyone else does, it is nice to know people like what I'm doing, and if they don't like it, it's even nicer to know, because it can help me improve as I continue. Anyway, guess I'll end this entry here. I will be back on June 6th, hopefully with another solid 10,000 words under my belt.

The Official Darth Vader/spirit Approved Protest!
Strat of the Caster posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_1599
Hello fellow Bzpower members and site goers! My friend Makuta_of_oz has a protest that has been slowed because of the loss of the infamous "in a line" topics. In order to keep the protest afloat, I have contacted him, got permission and also got permission from Darth vader. When we get 200pms that are sent to Makuta_of_oz, we will send them to lego and hope something happens. You can help by sending me or makuta_ of _oz a pm.(preferably makuta_of_oz) If you must absolutly send it to me, I'll send your pm to him so it will count. Happy set collecting!~HAHA FAQ How many do we have? 166, and counting. Should I mention the blog in the PM? Its up to you... We need votes so PLEASE contribute if you care! -
Scarcely a week after I have a debate with my brother about how talented Justin Bieber really is (and made that debate the subject of another school blog entry), my radio station gets his song "Somebody To Love" stuck in my head. Thanks a lot, Kube. EDIT: It's out of my head. However, the song that dislodged it -- "California Girls" by Katy Perry and Snoop Dog -- needs to be removed as well, so I guess this cycle never ends.

*Blows dust off of blog* I am currently taking my GCSE's and am on Study Leave. For those in most places in the world people in the UK we get to stay off school during the GCSE exam period, in fact I had my last day of compulsery education on Wednesday which was more or less a cake and drinks party for 5 lessons . Although this is probably not a wise move as I have spent most of it so far sleeping, I should take it more seriously as these Exams will shape the rest of my life. So after I get my results in August I am free to do whatever I please. I can get a job. I can go to college in a year Or I can take 2 more years at my school and earn my A-Levels. I am aiming for the third and aslong as I get atleast 6 GCSE's I should be fine. (I have already had my Biology and Art exams) Though I have technically already earned 4 GCSE's due to an earlier Science exam and my ICT and Double Imedia classes which are coursework based. :Yami: PS: I really should post on this blog more.

What are these things called Bionicles?

I'm finished school. But of course, because I'm a grown adult with a job. At a paper comapny. Selling paper. Not mufflers. Not muffins. Not mittens. Just paper.

If you live in or near this city, drop me a line and we might meet. I'll be there for a few days for graduation, and would love to meet people from over there. ~EW~
