Merry Xmen. I mean mas. · 11:44pm Dec 25th, 2013
This goes out to all y'all people out there in FiMFictionLand... Hope you had a happy one.
You know, I used to think it was a religious holiday until I saw all these Facebook posts about how apparently people have been celebrating winter holidays for a long, long time! Who knew? Kudos to them for blowing the lid off this whole Christmas thing!
I got some nice winter stuff that I needed (such as vodka) and gave the relatives pencil portraits of various personages they admire. A good time was had by all. Gonna go eat some cornish hens in a lil' bit. Have plans to see some old friends, and hoping to do some stand up while I'm here in the Twin Cities, possibly with a friend who works as an Onion writer nowadays, so I'm gonna see what he can hook me up with in NYC. [fingers crossed]
Still working on the next chapter of P-Theory when I can, as well as a rather surreal one-shot Optimalverse story for this collection, but I need to trim it down and work on making it into an actual narrative and not just an info dump by gleefully mad post-equines. Right now it's basically 3,000 words of this:
Nevertheless, I find both projects occupying a lot of my thoughts during random downtime.
Here's to success for everyone in 2014.
Merry Christmas, Balthasar ^^
Mery Xmen? X-Mas is actually from the 16th century. In Geek, the English word Christ translates out to Χριστός, the first letter of which is X. Merry Xmen would be the celebration of the birth(s) of our super-powered mutant saviors.
