*Digs through mountain of new blogs to get to his* *Decides to just click the "My Blog" link* *Wheeze* Whew. It's true what they say. Who new so many blogs could appear in.. Like twelve hours? I guess everyone's trying to take advantage of their full week of having Premier Member abilities. Anyway, happy 5th birthday BZPower, and thanks to the staff, administrators, and members who have contributed so much to this place and kept it alive during these five years.

*Yawns* Just played a couple of Halo 2 Slayer matches with my dad and sis. I won the first time, but they teamed up the second time and beat me. I'm not a real hardcore player (none of us are). I just play for fun now and then. Also, I finally finished (mostly) vacuuming my sets today... All that's left now are my Metruan and Rahaga... And Keelerak. >.< Hopefully I won't have to do this again for a while. Ehh, I'm sleepy. EDIT: Heh, just realized the Spidey prank is over... Pretty abruptly. Too bad for the people who changed their names to Spider-Man themed stuff. They're stuck with it for the next 86-odd days. *cough*

Sorry I haven't had time to update for a while. I've been busy and much has transpired. This entry, though, is mainly devoted to the highlight of the past few days: INIKA!!! *Wheeze* Yes, I've at last found the Inika. I called the Lego Outlet here four or five times about once every three days, until I finally received the news that the Inika would be here on Thursday the 13th. I got that news on Tuesday the 11th. So after two days of more waiting, I was finally able to barter passage (okay, so I didn't really "barter" anything...) from my parents to get them to take me. Off to the Lego Outlet it was. Walking towards it (it's in a mall), I could see the Inika on their shelf from like, fifty feet away. Upon sighting them, I was immediately shocked by the size of their canisters; the pictures I've seen indicate they are big, and people who have them have told me they're very big, but you can't quite comprehend their true enormity until you see them in person. They can barely be called canisters anymore; their shape and size makes them closer to plastic boxes. So I drooled (figuratively, luckily) over them for a while, before proceeding to push all the buttons on their Toa weapons. The flashing is totally awesome. Extremely high quality and mesmerizing to watch. I quickly scanned the rest of the Bionicle shelf to find Vezon and Fenrakk for $29.99 USD and all of the playsets. I was disappointed that Axonn and Brutaka were nowhere to be found, but I quickly got over that loss. It's just a matter of time... My eyes strayed slightly to fall upon none other but Umbra himself. That got me more excited, snce I was certain I wouldn't be seeing him until later this year. I was disappointed, however, to find that Umbra was $24.99 USD, five dollars more than Axonn and Brutaka, despite the fact that Umbra has a lower piece count. It must be the two flashing weapons he comes with... So I returned to scanning the backs (and fronts) of the Inika cans, checking the tops, testing the tools a few more times, and basically trying to decide which two I would purchase. For a while I had planned to get Matoro and Kongu Inika, but everyone seemed to be getting Matoro right off the bat, and I dislike going with the crowd. Not to mention since I had already seen a lot of him, I figured I would break away from the plan a little. I eventually decided on Kongu and Hewkii. I'll probably write a review or something later on to describe the building experience in more detail, but I'll give you my short evalutation here. The Inika are everything I had hoped they would be, and a few things I didn't consider. They're well-built, extremely ingenious in design, and have some well-implemented (and awesomely fun) features. I didn't expect them to be so tall, towering over the Olda and Nuva, and even the Hagah. Nor did I expect them to be so lanky, their hands going down to their knees. The Kanohi are pretty cool and they're all that I expected them to be as well. These sets are revolutionary in design, function, and playability. They're awesome. Don't walk to the nearest Inika-carrying store. Drive. Fast. But not over the speed limit. My quest to find the Inika is over. My quest to acquire them all has only just begun. *Narrows eyes* ... *Falls asleep*

Geh, time to go cut the grass. I'll have a real entry later, with much to talk about.

Just a quick report on some things... 1: After a long, long while, I've finally posted my next MOC, Toa Ikara. Took me a while since I was so picky with pictures, but it's here at last. 2: The S&T Contest #2: A Thousand Years Untold voting has finally begun! Unfortunately for me, I'm getting owned by munkeymunkey. He does have a very good story, though. I only have one vote, and it's from me. But if you do wish to support me, vote #4 here! 3: I'm still dying to get the Inika, but that's kind of old news. After more expeditions to find them I've still turned up zilch, so I'm probably gonna be calling the Lego Outlet nearby later today to see if they have them yet. They're probably wondering who the heck this guy is that calls them every three days. Well, anyway, that's all the news I have for now. *Bounces away*

Wheee... Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest came out today! We're probably gonna go see it later this afternoon (when my dad gets here). I can't wait... It looks like a really cool movie, and the reviews support that. B) We probably would have gone to see it at midnight last night, except that my dad had to work today and couldn't be staying up that late. But bleh, I don't care. Does anyone here plan to see it? Or have ye seen it already? *Waits some more*

Whee, 4th of July! I just got back from an Independance Day pool party... It was fun. There was food (barbecue and soda and stuff), and the sun was pretty bright. Ironically, I can't swim; though I'm tall enough to go all over (pool's only 5' deep). First time in a pool all year... So now I'm back, rather chlorine-soaked (less so since I had a shower) and sun-dried. But it was fun. We'll probably go see fireworks later this evening... But I'm sleepy right now. *Yawns* And that's all for now. ^^

It's sad how most BZBlogs don't get any comments. It makes me sad. Which is why I leave a comment or two on most of the blogs I read. Which isn't really all that much, but I try. ^^;; It's the Comment On As Many Little-Known Blogs As Possible Within A Reasonable Amount Of Time (Or Until Your Interest Fades) Foundation. COAMLKBAPWARAOT(OUYIF) Foundation, for short. Sort of. *Goes to view and comment on people's blogs*

Okay, well, I'll just go on about a few things that happened today... 1, National Tahu Day: Okay, so I totally didn't even know there was a National Tahu Day until like, today. And I wasn't about to replace my pretty sky theme with Tahu, even for just a day... I really like my sky theme. But yeah. If there's a National Tahu Day, should there be holidays for the other Toa? Because if there's just National Tahu Day, that seems kind of, um, unfair. But whateveh. Just a National Tahu Day works. I wonder when National Lewa Day is? 2, S&T Contest #2 Entry: After much editing and such I've finally finished my S&T #2 entry, which is a load off my mind. Not that it was burdensome to write or anything, it was actually quite fun and enjoyable, I'm just glad I don't have to worry about it anymore. I think I did pretty well (and I hope you think so, too), at least for not having written in a long time and coming up with most of the story on the spot. I also just about freaked out when I checked the topic again and found Mikerahk approved my entry. Reading the first two lines (that "this was an official contest judge" thing) was really a relief; at first I thought there would be problems. But it seems that my entry is pretty clear, I just hope the other judges thing so. You can read my entry here, if you want to. I hope you like it. And that's all I really have to say right now...

It's been a good weekend, though I haven't really accomplished all that much. I did manage to set up a photography area for my latest MOC, finally (whom I should be able to get pictures of tomorrow). I also managed to choose how I wanted to use the camera. Pesky lighting is always so uncooperative. >< I've made like, no progress on my S&T #2 entry, which is totally un-cool. I haven't really had much initiative to write, so it's still on hold... Hopefully I'll be able to get it done and submitted within the next three busy days. It's really late here (like 2:30 AM), and I need some sleep; I'm pretty tired. 'Night, y'all.

Yes, I'm very tired... It's been a long, difficult week, and my semblance life has been stressful lately. Today my dad and I went to the Mall of Georgia. The car needed to be serviced, so we hung out there while they worked on it. Didn't buy anything, just walked around, and looked at stuff. Went to a big sporting goods store there (Dad wanted to look at knives), then to Barnes & Noble, where I got to read a little Full Metal Alchemist and some other books. It was high 90s today, so the heat kind of exhausted me as well. So now I'm really tired. I planned on getting pics of my latest MOC today so I could post it, but I'm kinda putting that off for now, since I'm so weary. Woh, and I still need to start on my S&T entry. I've decided that stuff will come to me as I write it and that I can edit it after I finish. Hopefully, that will work better. Geeh... I have lots to do.
-
Hmm, well, I'm back and it's later. Just like I said. I'm kinda bored... I'm thinking about entering the S&T contest (which reminds me: I need to see when the deadline is), but I'm not really sure what to write. I'm sure stuff will come to me as I write it, but yeah... I think I'll probably be entering in the Mata Nui theme. I doubt I have much chance of winning, but feh. I still think it'd be fun. My writing skillz aren't too bad if I do say so myself, although I really don't write too often. My main problem isn't the writing, but coming up with good, accurate, intricate stuff that people would actually want to read. If I could get that down, I'm sure I'd have myself an epic by now. I do have one more-or-less brewing right now, though. That's happened before and hasn't resulted it anything, though, so it doesn't really mean all that much. Still, I'd like to get something out at some point. *Rambleramble* Hey! This blog thing is actually a lot of fun. Especially now that I'm all aloooone... Pretty much all the peeps I usually talk to are really busy/on vacation, so I'm mostly by myself (I hath no life). I'm glad I have someone/something/some people to talk to. But that be all for now. Arr. EDIT: I'm testing out having content blocks on both sides. I wanna see if there's any way to avoid comment-cutting. If it does and there's no way to avoid it, I'll take the other blocks out and just have them on one side. Oh, and if you know of a way to have content blocks on both sides without chopping anything, please PM me or comment somewhere.
-
Yeah, I finally got around to making one. It's so blog-like. And it's shinier than I expected. Spiffy, too. I'm kind of wishing I could add more content blocks than I already have, but if I put them on both sides, people's comments would get cut off. And comments are important. Hmmm... What's a category? Oh wait, I figured it out... Yay! I'm going to have to look around. I'll probably blog again later today when I have more time to figure stuff out. I'm distracted with RL at the moment. Oh, and a cookie to whoever can figure out the title reference. *Runs away*
