I never thought that having Rock Lobsters in the comics would only be the SECOND-awesomest rock-related thing to come out of MLP this week, but...
Abandoned as an infant and raised by wolves, I was discovered and brought to civilization last Friday, since when I... huh? Oh, er...
Well, I vowed to finish those outstanding fanfic projects while in Costa Rica. Instead, I devoted disturbing amounts of energy to a completely new writing project that will probably also never get off the ground.
It still told me a lot about my problems with internet addiction, though. Like, I was still able to get more writing done (on existing projects) in the last two weeks than in the previous two months.
I'm going to Costa Rica for two weeks, from tomorrow (sort of) to the 27th.
Yes, at 7:43 PM tomorrow, our flight leaves for Denver, for an almost-two-hour layover (yes, we begin our plane trip from Wisconsin to Costa Rica by flying several hundred miles in the other direction), after which we depart again and arrive at our destination at 6:06 AM Tuesday morning. After that, there's a four-hour car ride to our friends' house where we're staying.
So, early this afternoon I was showing yesterday's episode to my parents. And when we first met Coco Pommel, my mom was displeased that the character named after Coco Chanel was working for the villain. Coco Chanel was great, and the character named after her should be good, my mom said.

A few thoughts:

As mentioned before, last week we had some technical difficulties. Half our comments in the liveblog were about how all our streams were out of sync and constantly reloading. So this week, instead of blogging during broadcast, we're going to hold off until the first YT rips are up (usually happens within a couple hours), load up those, and all press "play" simultaneously at 2:00 PM EST, 1:00 PM CST, and so on, and liveblog that.
