IN WHICH I NEED A VERB
Hi all. Work continues slowly on my Sunset fics. Meanwhile I listen to many genres of music. Including this…

IN WHICH I STEPPED OUT OF MY BUBBLE
As I've mentioned a few times on this blog, I'm a fan of the Japanese metal-Idol fusion band Babymetal. Tickets for their upcoming USA tour went on sale this morning and, after a snafu that kept me from getting best seats, snagged tickets to two shows -- one 4hrs from my home, the other 6hrs. That's kept me from writing. Anyway, shall we?

IN WHICH I TALK MUSIC
As many of my longtime readers know, I am (or was) a musician, and I love incorporating song references into my stories, especially the Burritoverse. As I was working on one of my Sunset Shimmer stories, I realized one of my favourite tunes from an album I enjoy really fits where/how I envision her:

IN WHICH I BACKSLID BUT ATTEMPT TO RECOVER
Art is a reflection of life. Sometimes real life imitates art. This happens to me more than I like. So, here's Perfume.

I have yet to see all the MVs they've made over the last decade, to say nothing of their amazing live shows. So you'll be getting more of these lovely ladies from me, like it or not. Anyway, confession time...

I'll get into that and writing in a bit. But before that, here's this:

Why? Why not? I like disco. Follow me past the jump.

IN WHICH I HIT A MILESTONE
Good morning! A few hours ago I officially hit 350 followers! In celebration, here's some TheFatRat.

I actually prefer some of Güttner's other compositions more, but this better fits the occasion. Anyway, stuff past the jump.

IN WHICH I UNINTENTIONALLY LIED
So, I said my next blogpost would be Author's Notes for my latest Sunset story. That's obviously not the case, and I'm sorry. However, I am working on the story right now. I'm not pleased with its flow currently and may need help. Still, I feel y'all deserve an update even if I'm failing. Follow me past the jump.

IN WHICH EVERYTHING BREAKS
This has been a week, I tell ya. Here's more stuff from Japan to break your brain.

This is the first MV from Ladybaby with its new lineup. Rie finally has another screamer (Emiri), and two girls to replace Rei. I like. Anyway…

Hi. I won't keep you long. I just wanted y'all -- my three-ish loyal readers -- to know that I have updated THE GUIDE to include more recent information (read: crazy ideas), as well as some hints at where my story arcs will be headed.
