I'm having a good night tonight, and just saw something pony-related that cracked me up repeatedly, so I thought I'd share it. It's not new, but it's new to me, and mayhaps you'll find it as funny as I did.

The last few weeks have been weird. Over the years, that M-W-F update schedule I maintained on OMPR has ingrained itself into my routine; I keep catching myself thinking "it's Tuesday, did I remember to set tomorrow's post up?" before remembering that there is no post. It's a sad feeling, often, but also strangely relaxing; my blog never really felt like a chore, but it was still something that took up a lot of my mental energy. Having that freed up has been a blessed relief at

More stuff on the blog, but that's the big bit: after a month-long hiatus, it's time for me to acknowledge that I'm not currently able to review or keep a schedule at the level I attempt to set for myself.

I'll still be around here, I'm not leaving the fandom or anything like that.

It's December, and that means it's time to put on your Christmas hats! Join all the cool kids in doing so, if you find it to be a low-effort way to interact with the community and to generally have a little seasonal fun. Or don't, if you find the avatar hats affectatious and juvenile. Your call, but personally? I think they're a cool little tradition. Plus, it's one of TD's most lasting contributions to the fandom, and I think

I don't usually make back-to-back blogposts, but this is a special occasion. There's a new Chrisfic!

Well, sorta. There's new Chris ponyfiction, anyway!

If you haven't seen it in the past couple of weeks, amazing ponyfic author/editor/jack-of-all-fanfic-trades cleverpun as started publishing chapters of a collab about... well, why don't I let it speak for itself:

It's been a long weekend. A good one, but a long one, visiting friends and family. And getting home much later than I planned to, and barely making it to work on Monday as I continue to try to make up the sleep and energy deficit I'm running. I can't even tell myself I just need to make it to next weekend, because that's the barbershop district convention... that my barbershop chorus is running. So next weekend will be herding a few thousand old men around and trying to make sure everyone

The first two weeks of the fantasy football season, I lost both of my games... and I lost both of them by a single point

But this week, we're trying something new! Specifically, we're trying "get your fanny beat in a blowout;" as I type this, Jordy Nelson just scored a last-second touchdown in the Packers/Bengals game to make my fantasy score 75-107... and my opponent still has two players left, to my none. Looks like it's gonna be a winless September.

Those of you who keep up with my blog, One Man's Pony Ramblings, already know that I recently spent two weeks on vacation, and was fortunate enough to get a bevy of talented horsewordsmiths to fill in with a mix of reviews, advice, and even a little commentary while I was gone. And if you don't keep up with my blog... well, if it's because you don't care for my reviews, then this sounds like the kind of fortnight that's just made for

If you've been contemplating writing a guest post for my blog, you have about two weeks left to come up with it! And if you're still on the fence/missed the call for guest posts, head over here to find out more. Right now I've got four yes's and a couple of maybe's, covering reviews, theory, and writing advice. Which is enough to get through my
