[18:33:17] Smeag: if I acquire a drumset by Brickfair [18:33:20] Smeag: we're doing a rock concert [18:33:21] Smeag: and [18:33:23] Smeag: you're on drums [18:33:30] Black Six: Lol. [18:33:34] Smeag: and backing vocals [18:33:45] Smeag: and we're doing "I've Got a Feeling" [18:34:02] Black Six: I don't know if I'm coordinated enough for that. [18:34:11] Smeag: just fake it [18:34:13] Smeag: or! [18:34:16] Smeag: practice with rockband [18:35:29] Black Six: Yeah, but in real life I don't have colors to tell me which drum heads to hit. [18:35:35] Smeag: LOL [18:36:11] Smeag: I could put [18:36:14] Smeag: little coloured stickers [18:36:18] Smeag: on each drum head [18:36:22] Black Six: Lol. [18:36:30] Black Six: Still wouldn't know the order. [18:36:59] Smeag: I mean you know reach colour corresponds to a different part of the drum set, right? IIRC, red is a tom, yellow is hi-hat, blue is snare, and green is cymbals [18:37:04] Smeag: if you practiced that song a lot [18:37:09] Smeag: and figured out the beat [18:37:14] Smeag: it wouldn't be too hard to transliterate [18:37:50] Smeag: You're a smart guy. I believe in you. [18:38:49] Black Six: Lol. [18:38:55] Black Six: That sounds like work. [18:39:02] Smeag: that's what you're best at! [18:39:07] Smeag: work and drink mixin' [18:39:10] Smeag: your two greatest skills [18:39:19] Smeag: there would be many drinks afterwards [18:40:34] Smeag: the best part is [18:40:39] Smeag: you would realize how much you love it [18:40:44] Smeag: and you'd want to keep doing it [18:40:53] Smeag: and I'd but you another drumset for your birthday or christmas or something [18:41:02] Smeag: and you'd become the official drummer of Taped Headphones [18:41:08] Smeag: and we'd basically become the new Beatles [18:41:11] Smeag: you, me, becca, bryan [18:41:21] Smeag: Ringo, George, Paul, John [18:42:14] Black Six: Right, totally like the Beatles. [18:43:42] Smeag: same level of talent and everything [18:43:51] Smeag: there will be TapedHeadphonesMania [18:46:45] Smeag: we'll have a decade of great music, and then Bryan will get in with a Japanese artist and Becca will try get her husband's cousin to be our manager and you and I will be all upset about things [18:47:02] Smeag: and we'll have a terrible recording session for an album and then phil spector will produce it, from jail [18:47:05] Smeag: and then we'll break up [18:47:33] Smeag: and becca will record an album about getting arrested for [stuff] possession, and bryan will become politically active, and i'll convert to Hinduism [18:47:46] Smeag: and you'll have this hit album and then star in movies [18:48:05] Black Six: I like where this is going for me. [18:48:21] Smeag: see? [18:48:26] Smeag: all the more reason that you should do it [18:48:29] Smeag: go buy a drum set

I love him PS: This entry is not just about Bryan being an FL now. It's about the fact that he's the greatest guy on the planet, and that I love him so much, and miss him.

Building a MOC or making a drawing of a female character? Remember this stuff - 1. Women's hips are generally the same width as their shoulders. This is in contrast to men, whose shoulders are broader than their hips. 2. Women have two, distinct breasts, not one contiguous unit. 3. Breasts are affected by gravity. They aren't just floating there, or growing forward (and certainly not upward); they basically grow downward and outward from each other. A good Bionicle point of reference would be to say that Roodaka's breasts are basically in the wrong direction: they're growing outward fine, at the right-ish angle, but they're going upwards instead of downwards. This is, ah, wrong. 4. Breasts grow from the chest, not the neck. This is an open letter from the BBC staff.

I was just thinking about something. It started with thinking about this shirt, then thinking about how Ray totally has this shirt. Then I got to thinking about Ray (who wouldn't?). Then I got to thinking about how Ray, Andrew, [BANNED MEMBERS ARE NOT TO BE DISCUSSED], and I are the longest-running continuous DC-area Lego Convention attendees in the Bionicle community. The starting point here is 2006. Some of the administrators went to BrickFests prior, but none have attended since. The BrickFest 2006 crew was Rich (Bionicle Rex), Andrew (Black Six), Michael (Kaiapu), Byron (Kopaka's Ice Engineering), Ray (InnerRayg), Shilo ([BMANTBD]), and me. A star-studded crew, if small by modern comparison! It was great fun (even though I didn't get to stay nearly as long as I intended), and we had some grand times. 2007 was bereft of a DC Lego convention due to BrickFest hemmorhaging, but 2008 saw its return in an improved form: BrickFair. Rich couldn't make it this time and Michael was not a full attendee, but Andrew, Byron, Ray, Shilo, and I were all there in full regalia. The next year, 2009, saw the loss of Byron due to marriage and moving and things of that nature (we're awaiting his return), and 2010 saw Mike unable to attend due to a cross-country relocation (again - come back!). But no matter the forces against us, Andrew and Ray and Shilo and I have made it to each one. Not even financial despair, bannings, substance issues, or hideous misunderstandings have kept us away. So the revelation I had was that the four of us are THE HEART OF BRICKFAIR, the Four Horsemen of DC Lego. And that is supremely bodacious and I think it entitles us to consider ourselves cooler than everyone else. B) I also think honorary membership should be extended to Pat (DeeVee), who didn't make it to BrickFest '06 but has been at every single BrickFair since the con's inception alongside the four of us. Also because we are not cooler than Pat, and because he is the most lovable guy (I love you Pat!). The phantasmal cardboard cutout of Nate (Than the Moa) might also deserve mention.

Went to New York, had French toast made by Lehvaklah, hugged ToM Dracone, slept with Black Six, went to Toyfair, played with all the 2011 Lego sets that haven't yet been released or revealed. Don't want to go home :|

AHO AND GATO ARE GETTING MARRIED I AM THE MOSTEST PROUDEST DADDY EVER :') http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?aut...mp;&st=2490 First off, YES! MARRY ME!! 8D Now to address the smaller (yet still oh-so-important~) not-question things: -I think we both owe her a nice thank you for engendering such a beautiful friendship, one that I hope will stand solid forever! -I really wish I could believe I was good at MOCing, but when there's people like Primus and Shannara and all those guys, I just feel like an inferior rookie. Thank you though~ -You have never dropped the ball with me because I truly treasure every waking moment spent with you. So what if we don't watch things as much as we used to? We're still together and the things we do mean just as much to me. Also, GLOW STICK CONTINUITY -I don't mind you pushing me with my Sakuya app. I will admit that okay there were a few things you said that did kinda come off a little prickish! But I deserve it, because I am always complaining about this and that and the other thing. And the truth is, the amount of times you might've said something cold is FAR outweighed by the times that you're there for me, whether I'm in a state of high euphoria or on the verge of tears because of some meaningless thing. I don't want you to lay off and do my own thing, because my own thing is to procrastinate and slack off. If anything, I want you to pester me more, because like I said, I treasure every moment with you. I echo your sentiment about meaning more to me than anything in the world. Every moment with you is a state of pure euphoria and even when I'm in my crummiest mood, it's still nowhere near as bad as it could be if I didn't have you there for me. You are my beloved Chen, my precious treasure, my everything. I love you, and again, I accept.

Hey guys Given my nature, I deal in overly-verbose analogies often. But I'm going to strip that down for a moment and just be earnest. This is an appreciation entry for someone here on BZPower that I think is really cool - and also of whom I'm very proud. He's been known by many names here, including Degeneration-X, DX: Legend of Love, Heat Miser, Aho-Chan, and more, but I'm just going to call him Corey. I could whip out the comparisons to records and plants and favours from Marilyn, and they'd be accurate, but there's no need. Simply and honestly, Corey is a fun guy and incredibly enjoyable to talk to. He's sharp, and witty, but sensitive and kind. And a totally eligible bachelor, so ladies, take note (I would marry him). I began chatting with him off and on a while back but have gotten to know him much more over this past year or so. Very quickly, he ascended to the status of true friend. That's not something I bestow lightly. The truth of the matter is, I think his fun sense of humour brings a lot of spark not only to BZPower but to life as well. I pick and pester with him as I do with my other friends, and enjoy it when he pesters back. A good friend can pick you up with just a snippet of conversation, and he's done that for me in times where I've been ticked off. I don't know if he realizes what a good dude he is, but it's pretty obvious to me. I said earlier that Corey is a sensitive fella, and sometimes that manifests itself as a shy meekness - but he needn't be afraid. As I've said both to him and another lovable compatriot, it's never a bother to hear from a friend. And that's a title I'm happy to share with Corey. So let's hear it for my buddy Corey, because I think he deserves some hugs.

So I started re-watching the old Bionicle flash episodes today, you know from 2002 and early 2003. Honestly I was expecting to not be very impressed. I was younger when I liked them, and I've thought for a while that the reason I really couldn't stand the Bionicle story these past five years or so was just because I had outgrown it - that it wasn't Bionicle that had changed, but me instead. I was kinda expecting to discover that Bionicle had always been about the same level of quality, and I was just younger back then and thought differently. So imagine my surprise when I find out these old flash episodes and the MNOLG are even better than I remembered. They're really great! The characters are fun, the plots are entertaining, and the dialogue is cute and well-delivered. The animation is smooth and the art is crisp, and the music is really rad (not to mention fitting). Moreover, I'm really impressed by the pacing of everything - whoever was directing these little shorts did a great job. What I also find really neat is the story itself, which has so much character! It's a complete fantasy epic, yet it doesn't play to the tropes of any fantasy genre. Heck, there's no Tolkien influence in sight. Call me crazy, but the Bionicle storyline in these short cartoons was something unique. I really dig how tribal it all is: even as late as 2003, Vakama is consulting 'mystical fires' for answers to things. All the Tohunga speak of 'great dances' and 'spirits.' There's not much in the way of technology, but there is much in the way of of magic and superstition. You're immersed in this rich culture, and it's all really cool. Another thing I really liked was that the Tohunga acted like adults! Check out Takua and Nuparu having a war briefing with Kongu and Tamaru in this episode. They're definitely not the child-like figures that mid-2003 and onward portrayed the Matoran as! And I see now, sadly, that it really was Bionicle that changed after all. It waltzed away from fantasy and tribal mysticism and instead transformed to sci-fi superheroics. Suddenly there weren't any more sacred fires, or mythic legends, or unseen spirits. The wild animals became test tube babies. The magical masks became just commonplace pieces of technology. Even the great evil spirit became just an average Joe with an attitude problem. As the years wore on, Bionicle grew more and more to resemble other things, and looked less and less like its own, original story. Honestly, it makes me kinda sad inside. I know I'll probably get a ton of people in here who will write huge walls of text explaining how I'm wrong, and the Bionicle story just got better and better, and that I'm inferior because my opinion is different, or whatever. But that's okay - I think comparing these episodes to the books and comics and movies of the later years really speaks for itself. And I for one and just going to choose to remember Bionicle for its great two-and-a-half year run. Because it was really fantastic. BIONICLE: 2001-2003. It was a great, fun story.

I had this conversation driving in my car with Black Six last week (he was visiting for the weekend) - Him: One of the definitions of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting different results. Me: Why do we still try to moderate BZ, then? Him: We're insane.

Editing because I'm verbose: BZP IN SUMMARY: Also, as a side note, Smeag is dumb and his internet bill needs paying, so his apartment's internet access has been shut off. Hopefully all the bills will be paid by this weekend, but we shall see. Whatever the case, I'll only be able to log on sporadically in the meantime. Love y'all!
