I just finished reading the first book in a trilogy yesterday. Devices and Desires, Book 1 of the Engineer Trilogy by K. J. Parker. The first book was a little over 600 pages long. It's not uncommon for people to take pride in completing things that, in the grand scheme of things, don't really matter. Finishing a video game, a TV show season, a really long book. Why do we do that, I wonder? Why do we sometimes push ourselves to finish something frivolous, even if we're not really

I don't seem to have a good track record with YouTube readings. When I search for my handle, it's all Elementals of Harmony readings that seem to peter out after the sixth chapter at best.

Well, those and this.

Thanks to Bugle for bringing it to my attention and to Savrin Drake for the reading itself. I just wish people would tell me they were doing these things themselves...

LEWD NSFW?
Oh, they're just ski masks, never mind...
Yes, let's make lasers in visible light so that everypony can avoid them.
Who would see them in a secured room?
And down in the trap of spikes balloons they fall.
Brain pierced by lasers. Reminds me of the accident at the collider.

If you don't want the possible ending of MYM Chapter 6 spoiled for you, DO NOT WATCH TELL YOUR TALE EPISODE 67 UNTIL THE CHAPTER IS RELEASED AND YOU'VE WATCHED IT!

Hasbro bucked up again.

Disclaimer: I haven't seen episode 67 yet. I won't even touch it until MYM gets that new chapter.

30 minutes long? Aren't they usually like 5 min?
Them carrots have mold on them
Throwing tomatoes in a bag might not be the best idea.

Taking a page from Bad Horse's last few blog entries, I thought I'd chip in a little bit.

Time to use my fingers! Oh wait, I don't have fingers, I can't actually flip pancakes with hooves... Who cares!
Perfect! Except everything will go cold by the time anypony starts eating. Also, the other pancakes have honey on them but the new ones don't... Who cares!
Family breakfast! Sorry, Sorry, don't have time for a quicky.

Wait, how is Pipp using magic? She's not even a Unicorn!
One stroke of the brush and a whole painting appears on a hoof. Sounds believable, not.
"I never try anything new." Role music. "Try something new..."
Luna, is that you? Oh, it's just a hoof print...
I have a list of hundreds of prints. Let's look at it now. Oh, it seems I don't have any. I must have deleted them all..

Pipp believes in science, but science doesn't believe in her.
Pipp, leave glitter production to the experts. Ahem, Izzy.
Good thing she wore goggles or she'd be blinded. She'll die of asphyxiation, but at least she won't be blind. That's something, right?
I'm blue Da ba dee da ba di...
Glitter gains sentience.
As with all beings who gain sentience, it becomes aggressive.

How to do a product lunch without a product? Pipp, maybe you could be the product?

So, I know that G5 had a rocky start with the first movie and then the Make your Mark Series, but I feel the Tell Your Tale minisodes are getting good. I like the 2D artstyle, not to mention the storylines. Also, 5 minutes per-segment is pretty good. And with all that content, let's hope it carries over to the main MYM series instead of being non-canon. Truth be told, I kinda prefer TYT being a full series. I hope they make a special that uses the TYT artstyle instead of the 3D style of MYM.

Of course Sparky is sick. He's been sick in the head since he was hatched.
Hiccup? Burp? No, it was a fireball!
The first step in imitating old ponies is to knock out all your teeth. You have to make it believable!
Everypony has ideas on how to help, but Zipp is the queen to be. This ain't no democracy!
Sunny sucks at being Twilight.
Did Sparky just kill a pony with that HickaBurp?

For the first four minutes, I was ready to once again blame Pipp for another experimental beauty product gone horribly wrong, but then the ending got creative.

Are you alone? Noone behind you? Ok, read this for a sneak peek at my newest story, The Corruption.

"Is everything going as planned, servant?" said a strangely glitchy voice.

"Yes, Master. The fools won't know what hit them," said a more normal, high-pitched voice.

"What about the Elements of Harmony? Do they know?" asked the glitchy voice.

"No, Master. They go about their life as per usual," responded the normal voice.

First person's kind of odd. Most of us, at least here in America, go through three stages of writing. You start with personal narratives, where you voice your opinions, research, and ideas in essays from your point of view. You're probably completely apathetic at this stage. Someone's telling you to do something, and it's work, and for a grade, so you do it. And maybe you do it well—but you do it well within the confines of the system. You say what your teacher likes, you obsess over the
