    300 views in three days!

    I’m no longer very active on social media, so it’s been a while since I felt the giddy rush of affirmation! :rainbowkiss: But since I posted my most recent story it has gotten over three hundred reads in under three days and a whole lot of comments. So color me dopamine and serotonin flush!

    Another year, another story (part deux)

    I’m finally finding some more time to write. I was inspired to finish writing this story by Bicyclette’s Sci-fi Contest III, but missed the deadline by 40 minutes (as they say, read the fine print!)

    By the way, I began writing this story almost a year ago based on some real life events that many of us share ever since COVID changed how the world meets. I hope you enjoy it!

    Another year, another story

    It’s probably not the best thing that I need the motivation of a group activity (Jinglemass) and a multiple-day-off holiday to get me writing again. But this is where I am, and that’s how it is. I Hope you’ve all had a great holiday season so far, and best wishes for a safe, healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

Passing 200 followers, election fever, renovations and memories of Japan... and its toilets · 2:27am Sep 25th, 2016

Hello friends,

This past week OleGrayMane became my 200th follower! Thanks to him and all of you who have chosen to follow me over the years, itmeans a lot to me! :twilightsmile:

After last week's episode (Viva L'as Pegasus) and this week's (Every Little Thing She Does), I wonder if DHX is exercising a bit of Canadian humour by poking fun at the candidates: Gladmane having more than a passing physical and behavioral resemblance to another curiously coifed pitchman seeking to gain advantage by fostering division, and an overly earnest mare who's certainly highly capable, but suffers from really poor skills in relating to others! It's one of those things that make me go "hmmmmm...." :trixieshiftright:

And then dep in redecorating our kitchen and hallway, a sale in a local hardware store make it possible for me to finally execute on an ambition I've had since my first trip to Japan over 20 years ago: to finally own one of those amazing smart toilets found in every house and office in Japan! It took me three hours to do the entire installation, and help from both my daughter and wife, but finally I got the monster installed, and sat down on the heated seat, experienced the warm water bidet followed by gentle air-dry, and... an hour later I still have a huge smile on my face! It was every bit as good as I remember from my last trip to Japan! :ajsmug:

Well, from a subject matter perspective, that blog went downhill fast. But I don't care. Have a good remainder of your weekend and week, and as for me, I'm still smiling... :pinkiehappy:

Well, from a subject matter perspective, that blog went downhill fast.

One might say it went straight to the bottom. :pinkiehappy:

That being said, you started with this year's choice of POTUS candidates. You have to try to get lower than that, and I'm not sure you succeeded.

Gratz on the following, sir.
