S1E19 A Dog and Pony Show

I remember not caring for this episode, and watching it again confirms the sentiment.

This is the episode that introduces Sapphire Shores, and I'm struck by how forgettable the character is. Had you asked me earlier which episode the character first appeared in, I probably would have gotten it wrong. I didn't remember the character's voice, nor her lines. Thus, this side character had less impact than Hoity Toity or Photo Finish (next episode!).

...the scene in which the key to eternal peace with the changelings is providing them with tribbles. Or, well, tribble.

Greetings my Brony brethren!

A belated Happy New Year to you all!

Well, this certainly took a lot longer to get out than I expected. The Christmas season ate up a lot of my time. This ended up becoming my first blog of this year.

Well, guys, I did the thing. And then some.

Well, the opener is creepy as all fuck. There are kids in that town, for one thing. We finally have a villain who has targeted children on screen. More relevant stallions, good too.

Author's note: Before anything, I'd like to say that I'm glad to be alive, considering that I survived two earthquakes in the past couple of weeks. I deeply thank all the people involved in helping the victims.

Here we are, folks. Last day of the year, counting down the hours until the new year is rung in.

2019. A lot has happened for me over the past 12 months, both good and bad. I've gotten to see some really enjoyable movies this year, ranging from Endgame, John Wick Parabellum and King of the Monsters as well as Detective Pikachu, to name just a few. My dad and I also finished our project of watching the Adam West Batman series, which was a lot of fun

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.

I did kind of do a reflection of sorts on the end of Chapter 29 of ECQ&tAE, but I think I'll do a more general one for my blog.

On one occasion I went to buy a book by Jules Verne, Five Weeks in a Balloon. The person who sold it to me asked "What is it about?"; my answer made me realize how boring it may sound. It's about an expedition to Africa to discover the source of the Nile River, I replied.
