I actually quite like the song and video. I showed it to Stash a while back and he didn't seem to be a big fan of the music. It is a very neat video.
-
I completed the survey! I actually prefer to read rather than listen and have only read 2 of the interviews. The interviews are a bit long for my preference, but it's always good to learn more about fellow AFOLs!

Happy Birthday!! I would like to give you a gift that I hope you will use. Black Ink!!! (maybe you could share with JCC) Seriously, I hope you have a fantastic day!
-
I would like to see pictures of some of the oddities you have recieved, especially marbled bricks. I'd also like to see anything that you think is just odd. I'm thinking I might want to buy a couple of lots from this guy if he has weird stuff.

I have 2 green brick separators and I bought them after watching this video on Lego.com. Thanks Jamie Berard! My brick separators are used quite frequently. Prior to having brick separators, I used my nails and tore them up on my LEGO.

Thanks Draggy. This will be my last mafia game for a while. I was the loyal blocker! I blocked Hinckley on night one and Svelte on night 2 and night 3 (because I knew he had a night action but he wasn't using it). I blocked ISC on night 4 who ended up being my killer. When Zepher PM'd me claiming to be the loyal blocker, I knew he was lying because I was the loyal blocker. That wasn't really a good move regardless of any mistake since I knew it was highly unlikely that there were 2 loyal blockers.

Happy Birthday! The GRE is freaking hard because it tests you on things that you haven't looked at in a long time. I think it's harder now than when I took it. Of course, I did not study which made it a bit more difficult. You'll do fine!

Congratulations Draggy! I'm excited to hear your acceptance speech. There is going to be an acceptance speech, right?

Hi Brittney and welcome. It's always nice to welcome another female fan of LEGO. I have 2 cats and they sleep on top of my LEGO as well and get in the way when I am building. I hope you enjoy Eurobricks.

Why don't you stop encouraging people to scam TRU!? This contributes to their losses and adds to the jacked up prices that we already see at TRU. If you want the tractor, it's 14.99.. just buy it. If you want it for free, buy some more LEGO and get it for free at TRU. It always irritates the hell out of me when a LEGO fan tries to find a way to scam the company. Let's try to stay on topic and remain positive about this promotion. We get discounts, bonuses, and promo bricks for the next 3 weeks to buy LEGO. YAY!

I prefer to listen to the radio actually so right now I'm listening to a local radio station that plays some pretty good alternative tunes. Click here to listen. Currently, my favorite artists include Passenger, Meiko, Davy Knowles, Ingrid Michaelson, Lenka, Eric Hutchinson and Erin McCarley.

I went today and bought Drawbridge Defense. I got the free tractor and weeks 1 and 2 bricks!!! Even though the price of Drawbridge Defense was jacked up a bit, I still feel like I got a good deal. Posades, I believe it's any LEGO purchase of 30 dollars or more. I also saw the LEGO electronics and the special this week is free LEGO walkie talkies (19.99 USD value) free with any 50USD purchase of LEGO electronics. I wasn't overly thrilled with these but it looked like a good promotion for someone who might want the LEGO electronics.

The Apple Tree House is a vast improvement over the 2009 Family Home. The color scheme is fantastic and I really do love the blue roof. I will pick up 2 of these in order to modify the set better to my liking. One of the models will be great for a beach scene too and could go right next to the beach house in a town layout and maybe nearby would be a home for the Paradisa beach sets. I am very very pleased with the new house.

Us too! We want a room lined with bookshelves filled with all sorts of books. I want 2 big leather chairs in the middle of the room so we can have comfy places to sit and read. I'd really like a library like the one on Beauty and the Beast (Disney Version), but that probably won't ever be possible. My favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. I read Slaughterhouse Five in high school and haven't looked back. He has an incredible book of short stories called Welcome to the Monkey House that I sincerely love. I also like Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I also love Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot and found reading it to be a profound experience. I really liked the insightful novel The Giver by Lois Lowery. I enjoy Edgar Allen Poe, William Shakespeare, Ray Bradbury, Ernest Hemingway (mainly his short stories) and Douglas Adams. There are just too many to name that I love. I read the Harry Potter books until they started making movies out of them. After the first movie, it ruined my reading experience. I am also a fan of classic European poetry, fairy tales, and short stories of any kind.

While these are actually the most aesthetically pleasing peices of jewelry I have seen made from LEGO. I am actually torn between thinking these are really cute and knowing they are just ruined overpriced LEGO that I can't play with. I am a big fan of unique and artistic clothing and accessories and own a lot of really unique items, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy any of these items. A local art consignment store in my neighborhood sells art made of recycled items and they had a pair of 1x2 plates (a hole drilled in them of course) with sterling silver fishhook earring hooks attached and priced them at $25 USD. I hope this particular designer does well and the peices are creative, but I'm not a fan.

I like using the old pants as skirts like with my dominatrix minifig. SirNadroj did it for one of his contest entries and I thought it was a fantastic idea so I bought a bunch of those for skirts. Again, it can't replace these lovely ladies. It just freaks me out a bit that they are so tall.
-
I have some of them. I believe I have 3 or 4. I think it's neat that you have all of them and got all the ladies together at once for a photo shoot. The dresses have never been my thing either. While I think they are pretty and such, they make the ladies taller than the men and I think that looks odd. Thanks for showing these Sandy.

I don't think it means the start of a new theme. Let's remember, Belville isn't system. Paradisa was system. Now that we have that straight, as I have said many times before. I would be thrilled (and broke) if a new female system line like Paradisa came out, but I just don't see it happening. I must have this keychain though! Thanks for sharing this.

Happy Birthday Erdy!!! A lovely strawberry cake from one of the local bakeries here.

Perhaps it is your mistake and you want to blame someone else. You would have been fine for today in my book if you hadn't outright lied to me. What a horrible decision you made Lady Harcourt. It may have cost you your life.
-
Lady Harcourt just lied to me in a private conversation about his actions last night in a desperate attempt to get me to vouch for her. That sealed the deal for me. Simon, you shall live another day for now if the vote turns to Lady Harcourt. Unvote: Simon/ISC Vote: Lady Harcourt/Zepher

Sirion gave us some new information before his death that led the ones he trusted in another direction. The ones who continue to grasp to the Friar are striking me as having Dragon tails.
-
Well, looking at that... You are the one who got your husband voted off and Sirion voted off. Good job sabotaging. Sirion trusted me and gave me information before his death. I am giving you that information and you are not listening. I have also given you factual information. THE FRIAR IS NOT THE NIGHT KILLER AND IS NOT A THREAT. I know this due to my own suspicians of him, but I checked them out further and found him to not be a threat currently. I do not know factually if he is a Dragon or not. Lady Harcourt, you are very close to getting more votes for you and I would not be opposed to voting for you. The reason you don't see more evidence about Sirion backing down against the Friar is because he didn't trust you!
-
The Friar is not the night killer and Sirion reconsidered his decision to vote the Friar off before his death. Any other ideas on who the night killer might be? Simon was Sirion's first choice as a Dragon upon his death. Does anyone have any solid information? I feel certain that there is a loyal investigator out there who might have some valuable information, but they haven't come forward. The only information that I know for certain right now is that the Friar is not the night killer for the Dragons. What did the Friar do to look suspicious anyway? He just quote the Bible like a good Friar. I'll repeat... I know for certain that the Friar is not the nigh killer for the Dragons. I do not believe he is a Dragon at all. I will not change my vote and advise the rest of you to consider yesterdays happenings a little more closely before you make your decision. Agnes, you should shush because you continue to stick your foot in your mouth and if you get yourself killed and you are loyal... I will let the dogs eat your body.
-
The friar is currently not a threat. Despite my vote for him, I believe he might be a loyal citizen, but am not completely sure of his loyalties. I think in the end, the ambassador also changed his opinion of him. I voted for him to show my support for Sirion because I was certain he was a loyal citizen. I am almost completely sure that Simon is a Dragon. I think voting hastily for Agnes is a bad idea. Sure she talks too much and is an easy target, but let's just tell her to shut up.. not kill her, like we so hastily did with Ethel. Agnes could be scum, but it's more likely she is loyal at this point.
