Comedy is subjective.

—Someone with no taste.

If you folks know anything about me – and you do, as I have no idea what concepts like “privacy” or “shame” are – you know I like comedy. I keep writing comedy, I keep writing about comedy, and I’ve gone out of my way to make my life a total joke just to be thematically consistent.

With this in mind, and seeing how this website could always do with more good comedies, I’m happy to introduce—

So basically I've dropped the ball and it doesn't look like I'm going to get this chapter finished tonight.

Blogging about conventions is a lot harder than a lot of people make it look.

The short version that it was a pretty amazing weekend. I met lots and lots of fantastic people, gawked at a perpetually-dabbing Mare Do Well fursuit-wearer, had a drink with one of my internet besties—I didn’t like the drink, but it wasn’t about liking the drink—and overall had a fantastic time.

Here's the long version.

There's something I think I need to say...

So I hear a lot about how some people prefer films that are 'so bad it's good' over average or mediocre films.
So, for instance, people prefer Batman and Robin by Joel Schumacher to Batman VS Superman by Zack Snyder.
I mean, I see how this works. A film can certainly be entertainingly bad and gain more attention that way.

But then I hear how people wish films were made in the manner of 'So Bad It's Good'.
I'm sorry but...that doesn't work.

Hello, my lovely readers. This blog post concerns Phoenix only tangentially, but it does get discussed as part of the overall subject. This post also gets into a lot of personal emotions of mine, and discusses a bit of family history.

Sooner or later, Sweetsong has to get over the mountains if she wants to keep going west. It’s a mixed blessing; while she’s past the speedy railroad mainlines of the Midwest, now she’s got more scenery and fewer people who might spot her.

Having been on that route myself, I can say that it’s gorgeous.

I like this episode. While it doesn't explore the topic in-depth, it does a pretty good job indirectly addressing Fluttershy's own growth through her brother and her parents. Also, we get to learn more about the relations between characters. The moral is rather appropriate and positive, too. Now then, unto the thoughts!

It’s not a planned stop, not even the more accustomed unplanned stop where Sweetsong wants to go further but the train doesn’t. After the tunnel, she just has to have sky and openness to decompress.

What then? How would your life be? How would you feel about having a special talent that is supposed to help ponies, but harms them at the same time? How would you react to this and how would you try to cope with it? Can you imagine how it would be to go through life with such a cruel fate?
There is a pony who can imagine this, because this is exactly the fate that was bestowed on him.

When Crackle Pop awakes the next morning, he finds an unpleasant surprise. An unpleasant surprise that suddenly makes everything different for him and his sister. It leaves them both in sorrow, but is there a glimmer of hope?

IN WHICH I JUST HIT ANOTHER MILESTONE
My sincerest apologies for making a second blogpost within the space of a day. It's something I don't normally like to do, but sometimes it just works out that way. Anyway, I wanted to say two things in particular, and then more "fun" behind-the-scenes info below the jump.

Another leak it seems, but it's fun to have some additional pony stuffs for the week. Without further ado, delving right into it.

So, I made the schedule, and I try to follow it as best as i can, otherwise I would never ever EVER have written almost 200k words, but sometimes stuff just happens.
That stuff being my group mate's loading a lot of work my way, not that I mind, I rather like doing this stuff, but it has been very time consuming, and coupled with what I think is a writer's block, I haven't written very much. I'm not going to be able to make it till Sunday. I need more time.

Alrighty, kids, it's time for another mechanic blog! This time we're gonna talk about a Mazda Miata I worked on nearly 20 years ago, and then a F150 that I worked on just recently.

But first, you know what to do:

So, fun fact, I've watched Nomadland recently.

Okay, I lied, it's not really fun. Still a fact that I've watched it though, so that's not a complete lie. I don't think I could lie to anyone completely if I tried, and believe me, I tried.

It's actually what makes me a great liar, in fact—you slip in just the tiniest bit of the truth, your verisimilitudinous OxyContin, then everyone will believe everything you say, hook, line and sinker.
