One Man's Pony Ramblings turned five today. That's 782 posts, about 850 total story reviews, just shy of a million individual pageviews, and 49 pictures and screenshots of Carrot Top.

If you don't religiously track my blog, One Man's Pony Ramblings, then today's your lucky day! Head below the break to see all the exciting things you missed, and to catch up! Or to see all the boring things you missed, and skim past them. Your mileage may vary, I suppose. But hey, I thought they were all pretty interesting posts...

If you've looked in the comments on my story--either here or on the writeoff site that birthed it--you might have already seen this. But if you haven't, you haven't, and you should!

New news first: As those of you who are writeoff-oriented may already know, I recently took part in the latest minific round. My story did quite well over there, and I was planning to put it in my microfic collection... but as I tried to flesh it out to address some comments I got, it crept over the 1000 word mark, so I decided to publish it as its own piece. Behold!

We're edging closer and closer to the end of summer. I don't have any particular comment on that, other than to say that I'm against it on principal. I've never understood the "after a few weeks off, I'm ready to go back to work" crowd; it's not like I hate my job, but would I rather be able to sleep in, see my friends, and get some reading done? Uh, yes?

So I finally got around to watching last week's episode on Saturday, right before the new one came out, and OH MY GOD WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME IT WAS SO GOOD!? Best songs since season two, a play on a literary classic that takes inspiration from the original without feeling the need to hew to it scene-for-scene, a timeless moral about making the world a better place by being the change you desire... A Hearth's Warming Tail had everything I wanted and more. Heck, it even showed me how,

It's still Sunday, so I'm not late!

In Chris fic news, I saw that sometime over the past week, Going Up passed 5,000 unique views. I'm edging up on 1% of My Little Dashie, guys! Seriously though, 5,000 people is a mind-boggling number to me, in the context of "people who are reading something you wrote." Exciting!

It occurred to me, as I was assembling screenshots of Carrot Top from The Gift of the Maud Pie to include in tomorrow's blogpost on OMPR, that I do a lot of stuff with Carrot Top. Which is fine, of course; I wouldn't if I didn't enjoy it, and she is definitely the cutest representative of a race/cartoon defined mostly by their/its cuteness. But it all happened gradually enough that it kind of snuck up on me; my most popular early
