    On "Fake It 'til You Make It"

    Working on retail and tech support for five years now has giving me some background so this episode hit close for me. It is intimidating - much more than some would say. You will be pulling stupid stunts and saying weird stuff to satisfy or circle-around the customer. Personas do emerge specially when uniforms are involved, and if you're not careful they will take over even

    Curse my tongue...

    I have a weird accent... or is it a pronunciation tick? If I read a word before I ever hear it I end up giving it my own bit-of-a-spin. I also tend to play with words and their sounds. English is my co-primary language. Sometimes those end up conspiring and I arrive at strange connections.

    A few thoughts on The Movie.

    Definitively, a very pretty movie - as long as you don't look at the ponies' eyes; Voicework is great - I really liked Emily Blunt's; and the music is what one would expect; . Yet it somehow doesn't even seem like "MLP:FiM" to me - similar, but not the real deal. Most of the characters felt bland and flat. The story was so-so. I think it was even tamer than the show itself. Maybe they played it

    On The MLP Movie Trailer

    The animation is something I need to get used to. The models looked okay in some of the stills when we got word of the team's switch from Adobe Flash to Toon Boom, but once in motion... I need to see the final product to adequately judge. Admittedly, it looks smooth AF and mostly agree with Dr. Wolf.

Current case for me: "Seaquestria". I tend to pronounce Sea with a deep "Eh" sound and my "que" frequently comes comes as "ku-eh", "cu-eh", "kw-eh",or "cw-eh". In my head, "Seaquestria," sounds very close to, "Sehquestria," or "Secuestra"; if I change the ending, I arrive at "Sequester"(Eng) and to "Secuestro"(Esp). The first one means, "to hide or isolate". The second one means "kidnapping".
Yikes.
