Notes for Chapter 10 of "Giving Yourself Advice"

Here are the notes for Chapter 10 of "On the Fine Art of Giving Yourself Advice", Wine Dark Sea:

Chestnut Magnifico

The actress from “Movie Magic”. Rarity seemed to be a fan of her in that special.

Pixel Pizzaz

This character was a member of human Trixie’s band in Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. From her fashionable appearance, I figured she might be a friend of Rarity as well. She doesn’t have a pony counterpart in canon.

Rarity’s classroom schedule

It is absolutely ridiculous for me to come up with a complete class schedule for Human Rarity, given that we only hear about two of her classes. I did it anyway:

1^st Period, 8–8:50 am: Algebra 1
2^nd Period, 9–9:50 am: Business 1 (a semester class, with Marketing 1 in the spring semester)
3^rd Period, 10—10:50 am: Literature and Composition 1 (so far they’ve covered The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Iliad)
4^th Period, 11—11:50 am: World History II (starting with the French Revolution)
Lunch, noon to 12:30 pm
5^th Period, 12:30—1:20 pm: Biology
6^th Period, 1:30—2:20 pm: French 1
7^th Period, 2:30—3:30 pm: Home Room (3 days a week), alternated with Physical Education (2 days a week)

“Sing in me, Muse...”

Start of the Robert Fitzgerald’s 1961 translation of Homer’s Odyssey, the gold standard.

The seven primary uprisings of the Revolutions of 1848: the Italian states, France, the German states, Hungary...

...And of course Denmark, the Netherlands and Poland. Come on people, this was on the test!

Lance Burton’s last show at the Monte Carlo

The famous stage magician’s last show at the Las Vegas casino was on September 4, 2010.

H. Trixie

This is the moment when I added Trixie to the character list. The human one, but in context that means both of them.

Queen of the Damned

For once, this book didn’t come out in 2010 like all of my other pop culture references, but instead way back in 1988. The movie adaptation came out in 2002.
