I don't like making update posts; I usually find them to be too light on content, and if the projects they showcase don't come to fruition it creates extra disappointment. It's been a while since I posted anything on this account though, so I'll make an exception.

I'm working on a new story. It takes place in the same continuity as A Canterlot Breeding; after Chrysalis gets caught by the guards and such, Celestia decides to personally "rehabilitate" her (if you get my meaning).

I've been under observation for almost three days after checking myself into the ER here locally, and now I am finally back home again.

Upshot is that I'm going to be starting the ECT treatments immediately (next Wednesday or Friday).

This is probably closer to accurate than you'd expect.

The other day Google’s image search failed me. I was after the well-known image of Pinkie Pie hunched over a control panel in Twilight’s laboratory while her friend examines her brain activity. I searched for “Pinkie Pie EEG”, “Pinkie Pie electroencephalography” and got nothing relevant. Of course I was easily able to locate the required file by other methods, but I’m very disappointed by the fandom’s failure to properly tag images.

You know, I'm really starting to think that February is just a bad month for me.

Last year I decided to take a break because my writing spirit was out of whack (then again it was 2020 so who could blame me.) And now...

UGH!

I'm sorry, guys. I know many of you are waiting on the next chapters of Kingdom Hearts and Spider-Girl, but for some reason I just can't come up with anything for them at the moment. I'm stuck.

Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder is a disorder of the circadian rhythm where individuals face long term disturbances in sleep patterns due to changes in their natural clock. Usually, this consists of an individual’s sleeping time shifted forward by two hours or more. An example is someone who goes to bed at 3 and wakes up at 11 AM. This sleep schedule is incompatible with the regular 9-5 routine most workplaces have and isn’t generally socially acceptable.

So, how about that season finale eh?

As a fanfiction writer, there are two vectors through which I gain enjoyment from watching the show. The first is the enjoyment that comes from the show itself and the second is effectively mining the show for ideas on what to write next.

Already my mind is chewing away at possibilities for both Skitchverse and Lunaverse. Which is all well and good. But this is where the whole "Damn you brain!" decides to raise it's ugly head.

Remember what I said in the other blog post? About trepidation over watching the new episodes?

Yeah, that's hitting me like a truck right now.

Don't get me wrong - I'm eight minutes in to Horse Play, and I honestly think it's pretty good so far - or at least, I like what I've seen so far, or think that what I'm seeing so far is the stuff I should like, whatever.

A talented self-deprecating author asked me if he had the talent to do the hard thing. This “speech” is what bled out of me. It applies to all authors and artists. It tackles writer’s block and everything that gets in the way of our art.

Civilization, society, and inculturation create a censor in... our... head.

¡Isaac Asimov is 100 years old today!

I'm looking into convulsive therapy, where they shock your brain to make you spasm and for some reason it also makes you not sad all the time anymore. It has the highest success rate of any depression treatment, but you tend to lose some short-term memories as you do it, so it's obviously not a first resort.

Windows 98 was famously known for bundling Internet Explorer 4.0 and its "desktop update" package, which essentially overhauled the UI of computers running it, much to the expense of the user in certain cases.

Windows 98 was a 16/32 bit hybrid kernel, meaning that at the maximum, up to four gigs of RAM were usable, but only through patches, due to a lack of proper support for over one gigabyte of RAM.

Tonkus, who goes by a number of pseudonyms purely out of boredom, is a largely self-taught author with six years of experience in writing fanfiction centered around pastel-colored horses. He also writes original fiction on the side largely as an offshoot of his fanfictions. And by "offshoot", he means that he's recycling Zoey as a character for the nth time since he was in middle school. Why does he do that? He doesn't know, either. Sometimes he writes out of spite for his own procrastination,

Alright, so far I have my main OC fleshed out fairly decently I think. I had posted a background of him some time ago on a thread, explaining his main attributes. But I thought I'd put a little more, since I found my little black notebook with most of his original information intact.

I have a dozen ideas on how to write the next chapter, but I can't bring myself to write it yet.

Also, for everyone who is confused about my story at any moment:

Fast Agility is fast.

So I've been getting electroshock lately. Initially it wasn't working well because they did it too far to the front, to avoid my neurostimulator which is in the right side of my face.
