Where I've Been · 1:07am Feb 21st, 2022
Wow... it's been a while.
So... yeah. Where have I been? I've been at home. And I didn't realize it until this weekend, but I've been pretty unhappy since this whole mess with the pandemic began.
I'm a mysterious man with a large Viewer list, despite being very self critical of my work. Looking to write professionally someday.
Wow... it's been a while.

Well, the last month has been a nightmare of overtime and fixing up my house, but today I managed to see the premiere of G5.
Okay now, there were two main concerns I had from the trailer. The first was that this series is effectively undoing everything accomplished in Friendship is Magic, something that always rubs me the wrong way in sequels. It's less so here, since it happened so long in the past that you can still imagine the main characters had a happy ending.
Well, here we are. Another inevitable episode about these different ponies who had little in common now having to put up with each other after having a mutual friend in Twilight. I can picture this already having happened between Rarity and Rainbow Dash, having learned to live with each other after having a mutual friend in Fluttershy.
More things that don't hold up. You always wanted a slumber party? Why not ask Moondancer and those other five ponies you were already kind of friends with?
...Wasn't I doing something? Oh yeah, I was.
Well, this episode was a little odd. I remember jokes the fandom made about why Celestia didn't send her army to get rid of the dragon. Given what we find out later, I think that was plan B, and sending the pony she was grooming to be her successor to try the diplomatic solution was plan A, seeing as the dragon's have a government. No need to risk war at mistreating a dragon, even if the dragon was in the wrong.
Yeah... I'll bet you're wondering about my absence lately. I swear I didn't mean to take one.
Until the pandemic actually ends (and I mean ends, not just when everything opens back up) I'm going to be working overtime. I'm hoping it's coming to an end, but there is still mandatory hours for June.
I have a lot in the pipes, and I will still rereview the series. Just... please be patient.
Yesterday, I learned that you should never promise a blog post on the same day that your cousin is planning to update your computer so it actually runs well.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Enjoy your holiday! Tomorrow, I'll be posting a blog about what I've been up to and what you can expect next year.
Yeah... if you're wondering where I've been the last few weeks, it's been because I've been sick. And yes, it's been COVID-19.
First off, don't worry. In many ways, I felt less sick than the last time I had the regular flu. My fever rarely passed 101F, and I barely had a cough. I was mostly fatigued. And I don't think I've infected anyone else. No one in the building I've been living it has shown symptoms.
Sorry... didn't mean to put this off a month.
Well, here's a historic episode. The introduction of Trixie, and the beginning of antagonists that the fanbase inexplicably falls in love with. Okay, Gilda had this too, but not as much
Well, here we are at an... interesting entry. This was the first Pinkie-centric episode, and it forces me to confront something: I'd probably find Pinkie annoying if I wasn't watching her through the safety of the fourth wall.
