Christmas
It's that time again.
The time for the magic of family and adorable kittens.
And let's not forget the horse porn.
I know you're not actually there: this is for a blog post
But if you are there and not responding, fuck you
Still, doubt rampant horse porn of princess will get me top box

First off, I gotta give a big thanks to MSPiper for pre-reading this a long time ago . . . seriously, the editing notes are from back in November 2020. I'd like to say I have a good excuse.

Ah, yes we come to what I deem to be my "favorite" (hard air quotes there) ELO song.

I mean, there's probably others I like just as much (and I truly enjoy all of their songs) but there's just something special about this one.
It also helps that this song reminds me greatly of Past Sins, but that's a story for another day.

This is a "symphony" of four songs, if you will, entitled Concerto for a Rainy Day from ELO's seventh album Out of the Blue (1977).

It's comprised of Standing in the Rain, Big Wheels, Summer and Lightning, and Mr. Blue Sky.

I won't blame you if you don't have time to listen to all 18 or so minutes of this.

But if you do...

It's spectacular.

Some guy even wrote a fic inspired by it:

My wife and I used to live rent-free in an old trailer at the back of my mother's property, and now that we've moved out, mom uses it as a bit of a storage building, but mostly just tries to keep it from rotting and collapsing. And lately, there's been no power in it. The electric company said the problem was on our end, but mom didn't know what to look for in the fuse box, so she called me. I checked it out, and all the fuses were intact, so I went outside and discovered there was a main

Ouch, I fell off the tightrope into the abyss below!

I don't know what I just did with this blog post at all.

Tightrope by Electric Light Orchestra from the 1976 album A New World Record.

I'm sorry.
I shouldn't even have to explain this one to you.

Prologue/ from the 1981 album Time.

I locked Tape Deck out of his house.

What?

I just wanted a turn again.

(And yes, this is the song for June 6th, but Tape Deck was already planning to do it tonight anyways, as he'd be busy tomorrow.

Now he's busy being attacked by wolves.

(Actually, I hope not. He's really a great guy. If I were one of his followers, I'd be sure to admire every word he types.)

Okay, ELO time!

I've been out and about all day, so now was the first chance I had to watch the pre-hiatus finale. I usually don't do post-watch blogs and I wasn't planning on writing one for this episode. That plan's shot to hell now, but for consistency's sake I'll be brief.

This show finally became the badass, character-driven, legitimately dramatic drama that we've all been claiming it was for years. I could not be more stoked that it did.

Bring on the hiatus. I'll stick around.

I promised a second blog with more pictures, and this time you're not gonna have to wait a month or two to get it!

There'll even be a video which isn't exciting but it does have pretty flashing lights.

Here's the new baby I've been talking about. Well, I say 'baby', but what I really mean is 'heavy hunka wood'. Only got it the other day, so I've been sat having a go with it. Fingers hurt like hell, as I'm not used to the fat strings of a bass, me being a guitarist, but it sounds really great, save for a little fret buzz, but that's all good. I like a rough sound. Dare I say it; I found it quite fun to play, like when I first learned to play the guitar.

Is this thing still on?

Boy howdy, it's been almost 4 years since I logged into this account. College and everything got in the way. A lot of dust has collected on my stories, too.

But, because I am legit older and more experienced with writing since the last time I touched anything here, I'm gonna do some massive editing to Siblings and hopefully finish the darn thing.

Nobody deserves things. Nobody at all.

Let me back this up. I've been seeing on the internet recently some spirited discussion about whether certain redemption moments -- and "redemption" moments -- in a recent popular television series were "deserved." I also had this argument with someone on a fanfic, whether a character "deserved" to be forgiven for their horrible trespasses.

Let me elucidate a point of personal philosophy.

Y'know what, I'm gonna take like nine days and pick a song from most of the Electric Light Orchestra albums that I have (but not all of them).

I hope by next Thursday you'll have understood completely why this is necessary.

Eheheh... Favorite Band Time.

Dreaming of 4000 by ELO from the 1973 album On the Third Day, their third album.

I'm no shipper.

benjovi2004 knows this.

But I can't help but think of Sparity for some reason whenever I hear this song.

The Diary of Horace Wimp by Electric Light Orchestra from the 1979 album Discovery.

[1:36:45 AM] Journeyman: brah
[1:36:49 AM] Journeyman: BRAH
[1:37:04 AM] Journeyman: I got it
[1:37:11 AM] Journeyman: A day late, but I got it
[1:37:15 AM] Journeyman: Cadance celebrates Valentine's Day by bedding Night Light
[1:37:25 AM] Journeyman: Stocking Stuffer 3: Some Bullshit I'll Come Up With Later.
[1:37:32 AM] Journeyman: I'ma gonna dew it.

Secret Messages by ELO, from the 1983 album of the same name.

Basically during the Eldorado/Face The Music years, Elo was accused by some of having malicious backwards messages in their songs.

ELO's fourth album is called Eldorado.
Best Fimfiction mod.

It's structured so that a lot of songs flow together without any silence between tracks, which is wonderful.

This isn't my favorite song (Well, a song and its intro song, similar to Sirius/Eye in the Sky), but I would be remiss if I didn't include it.

Eldorado Overture and Can't Get It Out of My Head by ELO, 1974.

You won't be able to get it out of your head.
