    It's the obligatory new year blog post.

    And yes, I am posting this at around midnight on new year. I have a nasty cold, so I decided to disobey nurgle's one command and stay home.

    Just for kicks

    I'm mucking around with Lulu for a work-related project (very boring stuff) and thought I would do a quality test with something fun.

    Oh shit, words

    Or maybe that comma is in the wrong place. I haven't decided yet.

    The odd things

    I've just been reading through old comments on my scraps story, after publishing yet another chunk from the ancient cutting room floor. It's remarkable how many of the commenters are still around - but also how many logged off for the last time, soon after making their last comment there.

    But in brighter news

    While I'm not making any promises about any particular project here, I am actually writing again. I figure if I write enough of something, some pony words might drop out somewhere along the line as well. You never know.

Musical Interlude 32: There's A Point To This Edition · 8:48pm Aug 31st, 2018

This is The Point.

When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time trying to understand the point. My mother kept showing me the point, or at least telling me about the point, but although I heard the point, I never saw the point. I grasped the point many times, however; I found it in a vinyl record, the sort that most people just don't see the point of any more, except that strange few who make a point of collecting outmoded technology.

I must admit, I'm slow to reach the point of my writing. I've been working, to a point, on some stories since this fandom first existed, or near enough as makes no difference. I often find myself wondering if there's any point to continuing, but then I find another piece of music, or sometimes the same piece of music, and I realise that it's not pointless to go on after all, because sooner or later the point will become apparent, and then I can point to my completed works and perhaps even earn a few points for originality.

It's not all pointless. Sometimes the point of your effort isn't where you expect it to be, but there's always a point to be had.

I remember this movie.
Been years ago, but I remember it.
I'll have to watch it again pretty soon.
Thanks for the link.

My folks have that movie on VHS.
I must've watched it a bajillion times growing up.
