Late Night Apologies

Hello everybody,
I have returned! I wanted to make this post before my weekly update to apologize for my virtual absense on not only my blog, but my YouTube channel as well. As you all know, at the end of March, I spent the best week of my life prowling around my favorite place in the world- New York City. Since then, Spring Break came to a speedy end while school came back full-speed.

This led straight into two weeks of end-of-the-year testing. So, after long nights of studying and coffee abuse, the time after brought project after project, one research report after the other. Not to mention Power Points, collaborative math project horrors, and...I think you get the picture.

To make it simple, I've been busy. I'm a student who has big dreams, and hopes to attend a great university in the future. You should know that as much as I would rather animate or make videos for you guys, my education has to come first. I've been up all night (more so than my usual insomnia), and have been knee-deep in other things. I hope you can find it in yourselves to understand :)

The good news is, although I'm still very tired and extremely busy, I am going back into the swing of things. I'll try hard to post my weekly updates and other musings here on the blog, and I will post a new video on my YouTube channel this weekend. Back in this hustle- thanks for your time :D

Weekly Update- March 18th, 2012

So,
Topper here, and this week was calm, yet insanely busy at the same time. However, for you guys this weekend was a very good thing. I say this because the weather wasn't cooperating and I had to cancel my plans, which means I *FINALLY* got a chance to do some animating! It's uploading as we speak, and may I say, it's quite different from my usual short films. Anyways,
-MOCs, MOCs, MOCs... I talk about them all the time. Need I say more? Stay tuned
-More animations coming soon! I have lots of great scripts, if only I had time
-I'll be thousands upon thousands and thousands of miles away from home in about a week. I will try my best to get a video out this Saturday, but the entire following week I doubt that I will be able to read any comments, make any videos, or put out any blog posts. My apologies, but perhaps I'll post a pic or two :)
-Would you guys mind a video of my LEGO instruction manual organization? I think it may be interesting, but I could also be totally off.
-Bear with me for this boring patch, maybe, just maybe, during my second week of Spring Break, I MIGHT be able to put out another stop-motion. Hopefully ;P

That's all for this week, folks. I'm going to try to be more prolific with my blog postings this week, but I just get so caught up in the mess called life. Until next time,

Weekly Update- March 11th, 2012

Hola
Hey guys, Topper here again, and I actually have a lot to say this week. So, sit back, put on your glasses and enjoy the read:) First and foremost, I have more details to share with you guys regarding this big MOC I've been telling you guys a bit about every week for awhile.
-Refering to that MOC, I can tell you all that it's going to be 2.5 green baseplates wide, my biggest MOC yet! Also, it's GREEN and is something located in New York, and will be cluttered with minifigures! Any guesses?
-I'm working on a new stop-motion with a fresh script. Hopefully I'll have a bit of time to animate this week and get it out for you guys on Sunday. It's something quite different from my past animations, and hopefully better quality with a totally different story-board style.
-Plenty more building MOCs to show you all...stay tuned
-More script writing for summer projects and such are in the works
-I finally updated my channel to the new design (I hate it). But, I suggest that you all go and take a look at it, to get used to the new feel.

That's it for this week! More posting w/ pictures a little later tonight. By the Way: Daylight Savings Time is a major bummer. Dear world, I want my hour back
Love,

Weekly Update-March 5th 2012

Hey everybody!
Topper here again, with the totally unexpected weekly udpate. So, not a lot has happened this week to be honest, the majority of the excitement for you guys happened this past Sunday. Check my last quick little post for all the details behind that. If you haven't yet, I'd strongly encourage you to take 20 minutes out of your day to watch my review of the new LEGO Town Hall 10224 if you'd like to check it out, are interested in purchasing one for yourself, or are simply curious! Anyways, here's the convient list of news in regards to my YouTube channel:
-It's midnight as I type this, so it's practically Tuesday the 6th. That means that I'll be re-doing my channel and updating it to the new design tonight. I put it off for as long as I could, but it has to be done. I would suggest that you take one last look at my current channel design before it goes bye bye.
-I just thought of a fresh idea for a new stop motion script. Still no time to do any filming, but there's surely lots of thought going into them
-No new reviews for a while. I just got that gargantuine $200 set to hold you guys over for a bit, I'm broke :/
-New MOCs! Tons and tons! This is great news, because I have one that's quite different from the rest and quite large... *hint, it's in New York, hint*
-I'm getting the Sims 3 Showtime Expansion Pack tomorrow. Don't know why I'm sharing this, but I just wanted to put it out there that I love that game.

That's it guys! I apologize for there not being too much news, I've been buried in my own work and life in general. Until next time, stay pretty

Mission Accomplished...

I am typing this from an iPad before school, so I apologize for how short this post is going to be. Also, I'll do a weekly update when I get home.

Anyways! I did it. Yesterday, I went to the LEGO store, picked up a Town Hall 10224, went home, built it, set up a makeshift reviewing studio (due to size of the building), reviewed it (20 minutes!), and had it start uploading, which it is minutes away from being completely finished and on my channel. I did this all, plus my homework, all within a few hours. BAM. Just for you guys, because I wanted to get a weekly video out and surprise y'all with this huge review. Enjoy :)

Spring Cleaning And A Big Surprise...

Hallo everybody, and as I'm sure you gathered from the title, I'm going to be doing some spring cleaning now that March has rolled around. For you guys, that means I'll be doing some work with my channel and such of the sort. I just changed my blog around, so this will be the same, but the main changes are in regards to my YouTube channel.

What I'm going to be doing is updating it to the new layout. As much as I don't want to, I have to. I'll be honest with you guys, I DETEST the new channel design deep within the fibers of my being. But like I said, I have to because all channels will be switched by March 7th, 2012 anways. With the new layout, it'll be a bigger pain in the butt to leave a channel comment, so if you wanted to tell me something, doing so via YouTube PM's will be the best option.

I'm also going to update my playlists sometime in the next few days into categories so it will be much easier to navigate my channel. Along with that, I'll be updating some of my computer programs, filming equipment, and a few minors things you guys probably won't really notice.

THE SURPRISE: If you paid any attention to some of the things I mentioned in my last weekly update, you'll know that I'm getting the new Town Hall 10224 modular building by LEGO. Well, it cost a hell of a lot more than I anticipated, however, I'll still buy and review it because I love y'all :) I'll be going to the LEGO store this weekend to see if they have it, if not I'll have to order it and review it at a later time.

Anyways..I hope you guys enjoyed this little read :D Stay tuned!

Before that, I wanted to let you guys know that I uploaded a new video today, it's another MOC building of a record label. You guys should seriously check it out ^.^ Anyways...

-I have a surprise MOC coming up pretty soon. I'm gonna keep it hush-hush for now, but within the next few weeks I may be leaking new information. HINT: It's something large in New York...
-I've probably said this thirteen jillion times already, but I have TONS of MOCs to show you guys, and you will have to stay tuned :)
-Working on new stop-motion scripts. No time to film still, but I can assure you that I certainly haven't forgotten about them.
-Quick apologies for the lack of reviews lately. I have nothing to review aside from my own custom paraphernalia. But, like I said, Town Hall ^.^
-As a side note, I've been rediscovering Sum 41 lately. I loved them so much years ago, then I just slowly stopped listening to them. But now I remember why I liked them :D "Best of Me" is SO good!
