My own writing continues its (very) slow pace, but I haven't been totally idle either. Recently I've been pitching in as a pre-reader on a MLP-StarTrek crossover fic titled "Star Trek: Phoenix".

Wishing those who celebrate it a very Happy and Blessed Easter!

And even if you don't celebrate Easter specifically, have a great day anyway. Hopefully some springtime weather is shining on your area. :)

Here's some bunnies to help celebrate.

/hey, no one specified which type of bunny needed to appear here

Current status: Here. At least technically.

Well, I had hopes 2021 would get off to a great start for me. In some ways it did. Vaccines are rolling out, no more presidenting by tweet, my elderly parents already got their shots. Wife and I are still employed and able to pay the bills.

Honestly, all I can say is: Good riddance, 2020. May things never---

Seriously: bad wrestling puns aside, I wish all of you a happy new year! May 2021 be better to all of us in as many ways as possible.

However you may choose to celebrate the holiday, I hope everyone has a great day! (as great as we can make it in 2020 at least, lol)

Stay safe and healthy!

It's 1:00am right now. I should be in bed. I am pretty tired after all. But it's not like I'd sleep that well anyway. Haven't slept well most nights since at least March.

Asking for a friend...who may or may not have completed another trip around the sun just now.

Seriously, with how this year has gone I feel like we should get a mulligan for getting older. Then again, I'd say many of us feel we aged 5+ years in the last six months alone. :(

Take advantage of this Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!

We hear that often, don't we? Buy this thing now! "See X! Do Y! Experience Z!" By now we're self-taught to tune that out for the most part. Just more drivel to sell you something in a brochure.

But on rare occasion, it's a true statement. And this week is certainly one of those rare moments. And it's all thanks to C/2020 F3, aka "Comet NEOWISE".

Hey, folks. Hope everyone's doing okay and staying healthy.

Looking through my account, I don't think I've ever posted a blog entry that was heavy on commentary with respect to anything going on in the real world. After all, y'all came here for horsewords, not my opinions on anything. But, as recent events - both in the fandom and outside of it - have made clear, there are things that need to be said, and things that need to be done. (even if they are way overdue)

I've lost count of the number of times I've said something like the following to myself: "I'm so exhausted by the daily grind. If I could take a few months sabbatical at work, I could get so much writing done. It'd be awesome!"

Well, thanks to a 3 month furlough from work, I've got that break I always wanted.
