Internet's playing nice for once this school year.

Random Fact: Bronze and Brass have natural antibacterial properties related to the chemistry of their metals, making them ideal for commonly used surfaces such as doorknobs. While they are useful in such cases, jewelry made from such alloys will not grant any sort of mystic powers or boost one's health. Don't forget that. It's not magic, it's SCIENCE!

I was recently looking at the character page for Dinky, because I’m considering having her appear in a future chapter (maybe more), on the MLP wiki when I noticed something in the opening paragraph. Aside from the placeholder name of “Dinky Doo” it stated that throughout the course of the series she has appeared with several different cutie marks and has been a member of all three main tribes of pony, they even have the images to prove it. Now, it isn’t uncommon for background characters to

So I'm studying up on Early Modern English (not Old English, mind you) in preparation for a short essay on how to write Luna-speak. Fun fact I found: "derring-do" (the inspiration for Daring Do, if you didn't get that), which is a noun usually meaning "adventurous nonsense" in today's usage (as far as I can tell), started out as a verb phrase way back in the sixteenth century, "dorryng do," which literally means "daring to do," and implied manhood and chivalry ("Robin Hood's awesome. He's

Haha. I have another test tomorrow even though the term just started...

Random Fact: The Pentium 2 and early Pentium 3 models were based on a cartridge design to allow for external cache chips to be included at a cheaper manufacturing cost. However, later Pentium 3 chips came with cache integrated into the die instead of populating the surrounding board, as manufacturing technology had sufficiently improved to allow sufficient yields.

1. I have written most of my stories on my phone. I rarely use the computer to do this, only the final spellchecking happens with a computer.
2. The name Shimmering Thunder came way before the story, The Power Within. I just couldn't come up with any other name, so I used this one.
3. Even though I wrote a coltcuddler story, I'm not a coltcuddler myself.
4. After two years plus, I'm still in the closet with these ponies. Nobody in real life knows about it.

These four stories have been dormant for a long time now.

Almost all of them haven't seen any updates in well over a year.

Ruins in particular is a story I gradually lost interest in writing alongside my fading interest in G5.

Some actors are in incredible motion pictures, some actors are in a ton of films, and a few actors are in a ton of extraordinary films. In this last category, Meryl Streep is the defending champion. From her first Oscar gesture for 1978's The Deer Hunter to her latest one for 2017's The Post, Streep has amassed a total of 21 Academy Award selections: four for best supporting actress and a stunning 17 for best actress.

1. Nobody genuinely likes G5, they’re just lying to themselves.
2. G5 is objectively horrible.
3. Lauren Faust needs to be brought back in order to save the universe.
4. G4 was the only good MLP anything.
5. Cozy Glow did nothing wrong and is basically God.
6. All of these statements are true.

I sorta had a plan for an election day fic. A coup, involving Luna.

So, if you've been keeping up with the blog, you'd know that I tried installing the Windows 10 Creator's Update, only for it to fail spectacularly, taking out most of my computer's functionality with it.

BUT NOW...

Many hours, two failed backups, a long and tedious manual backup, and a system reset using the original install media later...

I LIVE! LIIIVEEE, I TELL YOU!

Tomorrow, I'm gonna have to reinstall quite a few lost programs though...

“If at first an idea is not absurd,” Albert Einstein famously said, “then there is no hope for it.” Sometimes, however, absurd is just absurd — yet, even so, it’s a fascinating slice of history’s collective direction of curiosity and experimental innovation.

Here are some Weird inventions which might not have changed the world much however in any case provoked our interest. Investigate that deserve acknowledgment for being both imaginative and amazingly strange.
