I love Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, because it is a beautiful masterpiece of literature and it inspires me. I also love really awful movies, because they are hilarious and I laugh at them. Thanks to Gail Simone's Twitter feed, I've discovered something that seems to be made specifically for me. ' My god where can I find a copy of this?? I need to see it, and own it. I know it will be so horribly bad.

I was browsing Brickset and, out of curiosity, decided to see if I could remember every Lego set I've ever owned in these nearly-22 years of my life thus far. Since they're all laid out there by year, this was easy and quick - a simple matter of just scrolling through and jotting down ones I remembered having. I know I do have more Lego bricks than what I've gleaned from these sets, because I know I had regular old Lego blocks in my infancy, as well as some old 80s space pieces, but I don't think any were complete sets; I think they were all secondhand parts. I've organized the list by (as near as I can remember) when I got each set, which in many cases was a year two after the set in question was released, as we would get things on sale. So you'll notice things like me getting the Throwbot Ski in 2010, haha. I've also tried to note things about how I acquired each set, or little details here and there. It's certainly not comprehensive. Before 1996 or so I didn't have any sort of allowance (I wasn't really old enough to work around the house for it), so I assume everything before then was a gift. But before 2000 or so, my memory is really hazy on what I bought and what was a gift. Sets where I don;t know whether I bought them or was given them are marked with an asterisk. So, enjoy my pointless little list, I guess? 1993 6664 Chopper Cops This is the earliest specific set I remember getting. I know I had normal Lego bricks and some Duplo before this, both probably secondhand, but this is the first 'set' I remember getting. 6513 Glade Runner6834 Celestial Sled6834 Ice Tunnelator6852 Sonar Security I had two of these 1994 1713 Shipwrecked Pirate6236 King Kahuka1731 Seaplane4011 Cabin Cruiser Birthday gift. 6835 Saucer Scout Gift 1995 6516 Moon Walker6125 Sea Sprint 9 Gift.

BLUH BLUH Why didn't anybody tell me how great the new My Little Pony show is?! My older sister was crazy about the original MLP growing up and I used to watch it with her, and I honestly really liked it - lots of fond memories of the show. Some of you might remember that I've donned MLP avatars and signatures before in the past, long before the infamous 80s Month. So when I heard of this new show, I thought there was no way it could be as good as the original. I WAS WRONG. AAAAA guys guys guys it is so good and fun and the voice acting is superb and the characters are adorable and the stories are just right and and and aaaaaaaaaa WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ;.; like seriously Pinkie Pie is my hero now

Way back in December of 2009, a dear friend of mine known as LehvakLah on these forums (but by other monikers offline) shared with me a link. It was to a quasi-interactive comic with charmingly simplistic art and a creatively curious interface. It was called MS Paint Adventures. As I recall, she shared also with me a link to Beyond the Canopy that evening. I skimmed both lightly and was marginally delighted by my cursory perusal. As I trusted her judgement and was already amused by what little I had read, I promised Llah that I would read both when I had the time to catch up with their archives. Problematically, you see, I was incredibly busy, and had little time to start reading new things. Much time passed, and my business never subsided, but I retained every intention of reading these comics, particularly the MS Paint Adventures. My desire was exacerbated by discovering that other dear friends, including those known as Black Six, Tufi Piyufi, and InnerRayg on this board, also enjoyed said comic. But still I had not the agency to delve into the archives. Still more time passed. At some point during the year 2010, references to MS Paint Adventures exploded all over BZPower, almost to irksome levels. This was actually discouraging, given that BZPower ('Where Memes Go to Die') seems to often take interest in things that are no longer funny (I'm being tongue-and-cheek here, folks ). You see, I've been accused of being a hipster. I do not deny these inclinations within me. But I'm a rational person, and even though I have the countercultural inclination to disapprove of that which is popular, I understand that these are patently absurd and rarely indulge except in jocularity. If close friends whose tastes and judgments I trust recommend something to me, I will endeavor to experience it. Such was the case with MS Paint Adventures. But, in jest, I began cracking jokes in self-deprecation of my 'hipster' tendencies, primarily with Tufi and another good friend known here as Aho-Chan. I jokingly derided MSPA as 'mainstream' and uncool, 'not worth my time.' Eventually these facetious declarations spread to public media, like BZPower. I think Aho's blog was definitely the epicenter of most of these. But the real joke, of course, was that a link to MS Paint Adventures sat on my bookmarks toolbar all this time, hovering above thee contrary things I was writing. This is so ironic, only highly adept satirical ninjas can appreciate stuff like this. Fast-forward to a couple week ago. This semester (my final semester of university, hurrah), my workload has lessened considerably. Finally I could read the comic - but unfortunately I had quite a lot of catching up to do! Regardless, I wanted to share the good news with my friend-fans, so I added another subtle strata of irony utterly undetectable to the untrained eye by joking that I was making an ironic statement by hopping on the bandwagon late. Basically in this case, the joke is the joke, and that degree of irony itself is ALSO the joke, and so on. And I kept this pretending-to-only-be-reading-as-a-joke as I was plowing through the archives. Now I'm relatively caught up and I feel I may as well just come out and confess the truth behind all the jokes: that all this time I've been trash-talking MS Paint Adventures, I actually enjoyed the comic and had a link right there in the middle of my bookmarks toolbar. I guess you could say... ...you all got TROLLED

So I'm eating fruit right now (late lunch break here at the office...okay not really a break because I'm still working, but still), and it occurs to me how amazing fruit is. I love fruit. What are your favourite fruits? Many can tell you that cherries are my favourite (probably my favourite edible things period; I really really love cherries), but it's lesser-known that watermelon is a very close second. I adore watermelon! Number three is probably mangoes. I also eat a lot of apples and pears. But the list can go on and on...I love papayas, honeydew, nectarines, plums, pineapple, apricots, cataloupe, blueberries, blackberries, pomegranites, bananas... I'll make a top five: CherriesWatermelonMangoesAsian PearsFuji ApplesHow about you guys?

What One May Describe In Hyperbole As “a Marvel Of Engineering”
Queen of Noise posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_217
Or, “Look I Bought New Toys” Or, “Life in the Woods” Seriously any of those titles would be pretty okay. Regardless, thanks in large part to a gift card that contained five United States dollars and seventy-five cents, and Wal-Mart’s most excellent prices of $7.77 per deluxe-class Transformers toy, I purchased two new toys at this hour yesterday. I am quite pleased, because I like transformers toys. The first one I selected was Universe Ravage I mean Hound. The reason I got it was because of the new Ravage toy, but Hound (the main and far-less-interesting character with which Ravage is packaged as a “bonus toy” or sorts) is a pretty seriously awesome toy also! Both of them transform from robots into other things. That is cool. Now this is the part of the entry where I start speaking as if you are familiar with Transformers to a degree similar to my degree of familiarity. It is very possible you are not, but that is okay. You can keep reading and I hope you will still enjoy it–if not, you can stop reading and that is totally okay too! You will not hurt my feelings. I still like you. Okay so I am really pleasantly shocked by this new Ravage toy. It is incredible! The original Ravage was a two-dimensional jaguar incapable of standing. See, this makes sense, because he transformed into a cassette and it is difficult to make a cassette turn into anything that is not really thin. Also this was 1984 so toys were not as complicated then. Now, however, it is the year 2009 and toys are much more complicated so the designers at Hasbro decided “Hey let’s make a Ravage toy that doesn’t suck!” And they did! It transforms completely differently from the original which makes sense because it is completely different. It actually looks like Ravage in “cat mode” and it actually looks like a cassette in cassette mode! That is so cool and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside though I wonder why hair is growing on my internal organs. But Ravage is so cool, I do not care. Also the best part is that he actually fits inside the tape compartment of the original 1984 Soundwave toy, which I definitely own! This makes me squee with delight. This is like the biggest achievement in Transformers toys ever. I have included photographs. As I mentioned earlier, Hound turned out to be a fair degree of amazing also! As a character I have no special attachments to Hound as I do to Ravage, but this new toy of him is pretty superb. It looks very cool in both modes, expresses his character well (I like that they kept the motif of gigantic feet, which is something very distinctive about Hound), and has a great amount of pose-ability. I am particularly impressed by his head movement! He can move his head in any natural position; this allows him to adopt a limitless variety of expressive poses. Also fun delightful is transforming him from one mode to the other; I am particularly fond of the manner in which his jeep-mode seats transform into his thighs. It is really cool! I should also mention the great amount of detail on this toy; there is a full dashboard in his vehicle mode with a steering wheel and speedometer and other dials and buttons and things. I like that! I may not care much about Hound as a character, but I’m quite glad to have this wonderful toy in my collection. It is fun to play with. Some may allege I have saved the best for last: I also purchased the new toy of AIR COMMANDER STARSCREAM OF THE DECEPTICON BATTLE FLEET. The previous needs to be read aloud in an imitation of Chris Latta’s voice and require a lightning flash with appropriate sound effects to ensue. If you did not do this, you should. Regardless, I am so excited about this toy! I mostly wanted it because I shamefully did not possess a toy of G1 Starscream (though I do have the Voyager-class Animated Starscream), despite his being one of my favourite characters and certainly one of the most memorable personalities and voices from Transformers. Upon opening and playing with the toy I discovered much happiness, exceeding even my expectations! It looks absolutely superb in both modes and quite exactly like the Starscream I know, love, and remember. I have been flying him about my house doing horrible vocal impersonations since purchasing this toy! I enjoy that, so it is a good thing. The figure’s transformation is fun and superb, and have I stressed how awesome it looks in both modes? It doesn’t even have hardly any undercarriage junk in jet mode. I am impressed. The only thing with which I am not perfectly pleased is the chunk of his nosecone that hangs off the back of his head in robot mode, but this is permissible;e–and it makes turning his head easier, so whatever. This toy is awesome and officially one my my favourite figures I own. So, in summary: I like toys, and I bought more toys, and they are so cool. -
I think I like surprises.
