Look at this, this is pretty cool! In the last 3 days, BZP News & Commentary has been graced with five different categories of stories in a row. The only one missing is Reference.

I have not yet made a blog entry about BrickFair '10 because there was too much awesome to physically fit into this blog. And also because I have not yet had enough sleep. But I would like to link to a few things relating to the awesomeness of BrickFair and attempt to break my own previous statement pertaining to physics (I'm not so good at science anyway): Hahli Husky's BrickFair Shoutouts The Awesome Steve Witt gets promoted to Forum Mentor post-BrickFair Nuju Metru's BrickFair thanks and stuffeths ToM's list of awesome people and notes to said peeps Bionicle Raptor has pictures to show and t-shirts to talk about Vezok's Friend recounts good times with the peeps he met ChocolateFrogs has a few blog entries on the subject Primus here captured some of the crown-jewel moments. Pun intended. And here, Deevs takes over Nukaya's blog entry... or something... but yes, the squeaking WAS adorable. Smeag lists his many thoughts and it is good Looks like I owe two or three people that tortellini recipe! I'm glad y'all like my cooking, guys. I LOVE cooking and can't wait to cook for y'all again. Srsly. Okay, tired now, moar later~

During the original battle for Mata Nui, Pohatu roundhouse kicked Makuta in the face, and that kick created Chuck Norris.

I totally forgot that since it's July, I got my seventh year spinny. I missed my own anniversary by 13 days! Shame on me. I'd tell you that it's because I'm busy with work and important things and even trying to be busy on BZ at the same time, except... er... well yeah, that's the truth, akshully. XD So here's to seven great years, and to BZPower's own upcoming anniversary, and so much sappy stuff you could mop it up off the floor and re-use it elsewhere. Maaaataaaaaa Nuuuuuuuiiiii spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins

LEGO doesn't have any Newsie caps for minifigs. Or Elvis hair. No Elvis hair? Now how am I supposed to make a Johnny Bravo minifig?! Honestly, LEGO. You should be ashamed. And after that, how about some old person minifigs? You know, the elderly. There aren't very many of those. We have creepy wrinkled faces but I don't recall any nice old person faces. What, the LEGO universe is made up of only young adults and the early-middle-aged? What about a Grandma? Everybody loves Grandma. Make a Grandma minifig. She'll fit in the City sets just fine. Park, store, shop, post office. House. Something. With grey hair. And a cute shawl. We need minifig shawls. Young women wear them, too. And a purse. Hey! Are there no minifig purses? C'mon, yesterday's orange Designer LEGO remake only works for real chicks. And it's not even in the catalog. And no instruments, either!! Where are the minifig-sized instruments? Guitars, ukuleles? Drums, flutes, washboards? Seriously. A violin would be classy. How about an orchestra! A minifig orchestra!! There must be some way TLC can fit in a cute minifig orchestra with instruments. And more minifig dresses, please. Dresses are nice. Make a limited edition Ballroom set with ladies in dresses and men in suits and tophats. Yes, there are already tophats. And a full orchestra with instruments. Oh my goodness, how adorable would that be. But I will take this opportunity to thank LEGO for increasing the styles of female minifig hair and clothing these last few years. I APPRECIATE IT! But back to the disturbing lack of ELVIS HAIR... and guitars.

So I was totally there. And I met and hanged out with lots of cool BZP staff. And met others. You've seen the lists in other blogs, but they're at least three days old, so let's do it again! (list shamelessly taken from Black Six's blog because it was the first one I saw with the list) Black Six Darth Vader Smeagol4 Janus Levahk Lah Kohaku InnerRayg Chocolate Frogs Friar Tuck Hahli Husky Nikira Alsru Emzee Argetlam So I hope I didn't forget any of you guys?? I'll resize and upload my pictures as I have time. Here is my flickr gallery, to be updated tomorrow! Enjoy. OH DRAT MY PICTURES ARE UPLOADED BACKWARDS. That's okay. Either go all the way to the 'end' and view 'backwards', or enjoy them from the end to the beginning!

Today is a monumental day! It is the first day since I changed my password that I have actually remembered to type the new one in the first time, correctly. And thus log in in one shot.

I did take a lot of pictures at BrickFair, but I also took a few videos. And amongst all that boring footage are two jewels, priceless Kodak moments from two particular BZP staffers, forever immortalized in video. The first one is about 1/2 - 1 second long. Darth Vader is saying, "Just like last year!" But what you want to keep your eyes on Black Six on the far left. Then watch it again. And again. Double Arm Action HWA! And for your slightly longer viewing pleasure - well, you always knew Janus can fly. Oh yes you did.

I totally just added you to the awesome-people-I-met-at-Brickfair '09 list! Dunno what happened that first time. * * ----------- Tonight I'm gonna try to get more pictures from Brickfair up on my flickr account. It's way more important that college homework, after all.

I am pleased to announce that my brother, Friar Tuck, has just been promoted to some BZP Staff position or other in the RPG forum, where he has been far too active for quite some time. Read all about it here!

What a gorgeous day. I have both windows open and the breezes mix so wonderfully with the sunshine. I'm thrilled to see that the profiles and Blogs are untouched! I was really panicked for a second. I only lost a few posts and two topics - one of which I was able to retrieve thanks to a Google-search cache. I might post that in S&T again later. I'll have to get my comic (there is a dead thumbnail link below) re-posted up in Artwork III laterz, too. BTW, How to Recover Topics, by Lewa0111. Macku: Toa of Bubbles also noted a way to improve the search on Google for your lost topics in there, just a few posts down. It won't work for ALL topics, but you can probably find something you've lost. Now go out there and get busy rebuilding! Have fun, peeps, be good, thank the staff, appreciate them, and save everything you like onto your hard drive. Every page of everything. All you have to do is go to the top-right corner, click 'file', and click 'save page as...' Then you can save it in a folder or on your desktop. Dooo. Iiiit. Remember, if the topic has more than one page, you'll have to save those pages individually!

So I got one of those icky PMs this morning. Blargh. But over here, Kex gives suggestions as how to avoid these PMs at all! It's common sense, really. Another thing: After I opened the PM and freaked, I clicked on the member's name to get to his profile page. He was listed as 'banned'. If I had seen his profile first, before opening the PM, his banned status would have tipped me off and I never would have opened the PM in the first place. He had been found out before I even saw the message, and I could have avoided seeing it altogether. ---------------------------------- Now kids, protect your Personal Message boxes, avoid icky stuff, and go see that little picture I put below to see something completely different. I edited Bionicle comic #1. It's silly. It will make you smile.

This post is spoiler-free! So first off, I just found my newest Bionicle Magazine with the last comic from this year (and this era of Bionicle). It's sitting right here. *screams* *breaths deeply* OK. I'm ok. I just needed to release all the excitement. An era is finally over. New one starts in January. Now then, the whole point - LEGO, WHY do you use that sticky glue to attach the comic book to the inside of the magazine? can't you send it in a bag like you used to? The comic sticks so well to the mag, that I have to wrinkle and bend it to get it out. And then there's a oily stain when I pull the glue-stuff off the back of my comic book! You're MAKING ME RUIN MY BEAUTIFUL COMICS. STOPPIT please.

Lookit lookit lookit it's Hapori Tohu for the new generation!!! Came in the mail today. It's kind of a dorky Brickmaster set, but the package says 'Bionicle' on it and it has a cool Bionicle head. =P The wings are spiffing! IMMA FIRING UP MA BRAIN ENGINES

I was re-playing the MNOLG yesterday and with a little help from HH, I rescued all the Le-Matoran from the hive. Of course after they're free and Lewa gets his Golden Kanohi, there's that famous party! I noticed that the one musician on the far right (or, his own left) turns and does a 'headbang' every so often. I thought it pretty funny, and decided to get a screenshot. So I waited, my fingers poised on the Ctrl and PrtSc buttons, waiting. Then all of a sudden he pulled out a wristwatch. No, that is NOT an edit! It's real. If you too are a victim of boredom or are easily entertained and you already knew that, then bully for you! But I guffawed. I still guffaw. totally didn't see it coming. I was all and for five minutes. Naturally I didn't get the screenshot the first time, or even the second. It's a split-second shot! I waited six more minutes to get that screenshot and show off the watch-wearing Le-Matoran, just because I love y'all. *giggles s'more*

I am kidnapping ToM's header-bar idear and holding it for ransom. 8D So I took advantage of the Target-Kongu sale and bought him! Then I saw that Lewa Phantoka was there, and still only $9.99. I was mildly worried that they might 'phase out' Lewa after stocking Gali, Tahu, and Onua, so I got him, too. ^^ Then I built him yesterday... ... and he looks like an insect. I stood him up next to Kopaka Phantoka and Pohatu Phantoka. I'm surprised (but pleased at) how every one of them has different pieces mixed in with similar pieces - I mean, they all have different legs! And feet. And Pohatu's arms are different that Kopaka and Lewa's. (Pohatu is so short!! Or is Lewa so tall??) I'm still irked by how skinny (wimpy) Pohatu's torso/midsection seems, especially in comparison with the rest of his bod. (Hefty legs and arms! Beefy!) I like his pincer thingies, even though they're a bit loose. But Kopaka is still win - even though his triangular torso is every so slightly odd, it's a good chest armor piece and his wings are win. Lewa's sword-thingy is awesome, and the shoulder-packs make sense, I guess, but those scythes on his shoulders, combined with his big-eyed mask, make him look like an insect. And there's too much grey. Everywhere. On ALL of them. And so of course I built Kongu Mahri as well! I still shake my head at the Mahri - the breathing tubes and brain-jars make me laugh. And I'm irritated by how on the two Mahri's I have - Matoro and Kongu - well, both of their heads are down on their necks, really low, like Onua Mata! I gives them a hunched-over appearance, and IMO does not suit their underwater-swimming-selves. BUT he dual-wields the.... weapon thingies, and has a bunch of green coloring. On top of all the grey. And he's awfully beefy, too. (Hunky, HH! Hunky!) I gotta bring Matoro Mahri back out and compare these two. I just don't know where he is right now (probably at the mercy of my little brother...) So even though I have a massive crush on the character Kongu (Not only because he's JUST THAT AWESOME, but also thanks to a FANTASTIC human-version pic someone drew on another site), I'm not terribly fond of the Mahri version.

Brian Drummond? Voice of Onewa and Blurr! Here?? And I'm gonna miss it. I'm not going to hear him talk candidly while he answers questions or signs his autograph whilst surrounded by interested peoples and adoring fans. *dramatically collapses onto the fainting couch* SUCH the disappointment!!
