I've been writing online for thirty years. One of these days I might actually get good at it.

    Falling behind

    I'm getting to the point where just keeping up is beyond my dwindling capacities. I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect I'm not going to like it when I find out.

    Anyway, I apologize for having been such a lousy correspondent this year.

    Having gone wandering off somewhere

    Of late, I seem to have been overtaken by events: my health has taken a turn for the worst, I wrecked my car, and the guy they hired to help me out at work has moved away. (Another guy has drawn the short straw.) I'm still alive, but it's not something I much feel like bragging about.

    A night at the beer garden

    I mean, I'm not allowed beer anymore, at least not until I get off some of these damnable medications, but our little table had massive fun discussing Jenga, photography, classic and modern weaponry, beer (of course) -- and ponies. Apparently they'd read my stuff. Who knew?

    Regular visitors will remember that I'd asked the estimable LeekFish to knock out a sketch for my, um, OC. I posted it here, and it was well received; our own Twifight Sparkill came up with an idea, and heck, there's no reason you shouldn't see it here, especially since she's revised it to give me a more, um, scholarly look. (The LeekFish original is still in the sidebar at

    Back in the Real World

    I think I would rather spend two weeks in the Everfree, trying to avoid everything that can kill me, and in the Everfree I assume everything can kill me, than one more minute in a hospital room.

    That said, their definition of "on the mend" doesn't quite coincide with mine.

What are the chances? · 12:28am Mar 16th, 2014

Pinkie Pie, we know, has a middle name: in full, she's Pinkamena Diane Pie.

What of big sister Maud? I'm betting on "Lynn," myself.

LOL! I am totally using that.

I'm really, REALLY happy that I"m not the only one that thought that :ajsmug:

Now if I can just figure out what Maud's cutie mark is supposed to be. (Fiendish of the animators to slap that grey dress on her.)

1930216
I know isn't it? Though I'm guessing it's rock related in some way

I can almost guarantee that, were you to ask Maud Pie, she'd reply with, "It's a rock."

It would certainly be in character. (But suppose it's not grey?)

1931354
Well, the obligatory screen cap in the EqD Episode Followup answers that question: it's grey, but a darker grey.

Not that I have any experience tracking down pony upskirts, I must point out.

Her special talent is an OTP with Tom. :rainbowderp:

1931393
Makes more sense than some of the Tom ships I've seen around here. (Although I can almost imagine Tom x Bloomberg.)

1931764
I stand -- slouch, actually -- corrected. :scootangel:

According to the EQD Episode Follow up, we do actually get to see Maud's cutie mark for a brief second right after she pummels the rock into oblivion and it's a shield shaped rock... I'm not sure, I haven't caught it yet :rainbowhuh:

1932304
Yep. I saw that. (There's a link concealed above somewhere.)

I did write something elsewhere to the effect that Maud reminds me of an idealized version of me: "preternaturally calm and unapologetically monomaniacal." Then again, how often do I get to live up to my ideals?
