THIS IS A POST ABOUT LEGO

A while a go Weird Al released a new CD, Straight Outta Lynwood, it's called. Most of his new CD's have Polkas in them. They aren't the traditional Al parodies, just him singing blips of the popular songs in.... polka. His newest, Polkarama!, has these songs in it:
  • "Let's get it started"--Black Eyed Peas
  • "Take Me Out"--Franz Ferdinand
  • "Beverly Hills"--Weezer
  • "Speed of Sound"--Coldplay (yay nick)
  • "Float On"--Modest Mouse
  • "Feel Good Inc."--Gorillaz
  • "Candy Shop"--50 Cent
  • "Drop it like it's hot"--Snoop Dogg (Thanks Brett)
  • "Gold Digger"--Kanye West

and then 3 other songs I don't know. Figure it out. Keep in mind that half the artists there I don't like... just FF, MM, some Weezer. BTW, for christmas I got the Wright flyer, the Holiday train, another train set (heh) and... that's it. Well, and some DWR Cubits, A sweet scarf, and an iTunes gift card. So I bought some new music (As well as The Arcade Fire's album "Funeral", Mr. Baron)

We'll see what I blog next. After a week-long skiing trip to Utah with some relatives.

I is be in very sorroful.

It's okay guys. I'm still alive. I recently posted some stuff on flickr... but that's it. We had a nice day (christmas eve.) No snow, I was walking around in a T-shirt and jeans. Although it is nice, I would rather have snow on Christmas. Oh well.

I have absolutely no lego to display, even though many a great MOCs have been tossed around by the other lego blogs (TBB has MOVED! Go check it out). I dunno... I haven't really been in the "lego" mindset recently. I've been thinking about other things. I don't want to start another blog (cuz that would suck) but this one will either slow down (although it has been slow recently anyway) or change a bit. To fit the things I've been doing. I thought about joining Review'd or something.... but I'm not sure. Maybe I'll just take a (longer) break from blogging. Sorry you guys had to read my intrapersonal rantings, now one last thing to say:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

p.s. a cool new blog I'm checking out is "Indexed." It rocks. Also, The new TBB (TNTBB) has some SWEET pics of 2007 sets... those skeletons look wierd but I'm looking forward to them anyway. Cheers.

New Blog list.


I just want to point out a couple new blogs on my "Lego blogs" link list!
-Imperial Inspection
-Review'd
-Microbricks

Yup, that's it. Except for this Orange 'beut made by brickshelf "Fox-Primus." It's... so... smoove! Just that one little ugly bit, but that's okay. We can forgive him, right?

Also, two questions to "all my readers" (pshh like there are more than 3), Should I change any colors and what order should these side-bar things be in?:
-Archive
-Tags
-Basic Lego links
-Lego Community
-Lego blogs
-Lego sites

It may not look like much, but I had a lot of tabs open at the time.

Whoooo man. It's been a while. Busy with... wii.... and.... other things.
But this has been turning into too much of a jibber jabber blog, onto the lego, right?

Well today I have a mega-roundup of MOCs! YAY!

First off, brickshelf kerouac has built two really awesome Zaku-esque things from Gundam. Red and Blue. They are both excellently made (though I disagree with the wizard hats on blue) and continue his theme of small mecha that look bigger than they are. I also like the way he did the tubing around the mecha...

Flickr User Don Solo has made a really funny bot- he started off working to make Bender from the TV show Futurama, but he ended up with this little guy! (It still looks like bender too) We all love Roy... until he kills us.

And the ever-present Moko has been building up a storm with his "SMF" (Small mecha frame), check these out!
-BEAST!
-NINJA!
-INSTRUCTS!

B-shelf nnenn, who I blogged before, is taking the exo-force theme and revamping it, with two new mecha- Paladin and Blazer. Now if these were actual lego sets.... well, that'd be awesome. He used the basic exo-force frame with some armor and better shapes slapped on, I especially like the armor on Paladin's legs. I'm just not sure if those flaps in the back are official lego pieces...
He also made some funny ships based off the micro-sized versions, much like Mark Stafford and his Mantis. They aren't too great in a building sense, but they are accurate from micro-minifig scale.

And I think I'll just wrap up with a little RLOSIDWTTA
-Squieu mech
-David R. schweet hardsuit
-hopeso009 funny hardsuit
-Chocobabee!
-Yay cool halo moc

I will hopefully be updating on a more regular basis from now on.

Musical Motivation: Nothing.
