First of all, hello. Secondly, no, that's not a typo.

It is Pi Day, and we got hit by a winter storm so big, they gave it a name.
It is Pi Day, and I had to shovel something that wasn't so much snow as it was a stratum of pumice that happened to be made of ice.
It is Pi Day, and it has now started snowing again.
It is Pi Day. What the crap, nature.
With apologies to anyone who remembers the fantastic Epic Pony Rap Battles of Equestria series from years ago, I couldn't resist the temptation to do something similar. Just without the voice acting or musical skills or production values.
Also, this technically counts as the longest piece of ponyfic I've written for months.
Intellectually, I know the voice cast of Friendship is Magic are getting other work in. Goodness knows about a quarter of all cartoon characters are voiced by Tara Strong. But it's weird to hear them outside of an animated context.
It's even weirder when Princess Celestia narrates a documentary on fungi.
My muse has a tendency to take ideas and run with them like she's trying to win the Super Bowl. After last week's 'What your favorite ship says about you" blog, I found myself coming up with gobs of other ideas along that theme. May as well share them.
And now, two videos I've found that resonate wonderfully with horsewords:
I just had an attack of fridge logic. Consider what I did in my last three stories.
Tangerine Blast's recent blog post riffing on Eldena Doubleca5t's "What your favorite (series) ship says about you" series reminded me that I wrote up something along those lines weeks ago and never actually posted it. Let's fix that.
I've tried writing comedy, and I've always failed, but I did learn something in the process. Being funny is usually a mix of being "unpredictable" while at the same time being "emotionally close" to your audience: To surprise them with something relateable.
Biography time!
So, goofy time: This is a blogpost just about my ponysona, Cola Bubble Gum. I was thinking about her the other day and kind of fleshed out stuff that I 'knew' was true but hadn't really ever thought about, so I wanted to post it here. ^_^
(I know this is a weird update, but to hell with it, I'm a weirdo!)
Cola Bubble Gum has a big family, of a sort! Her mom Tutti Frutti Gum (a unicorn) had three colts before she married Cola's dad, so Cola grew up with three older (half) brothers:
Given that I'm in the unique position of having almost an entire season ahead of me that I haven't watched, I thought it would be funny to look at the titles of the episodes, and try to extrapolate an entire premise from just that. Let's see how painful the result turns out, shall we? It'll be funny to see how off the mark I am once I see the actual episodes.
Despite his protestations to the contrary, I think he did a fine job voicing the girls.
Needless to say, my thoughts are with those in Harvey's path, now and in the future. Here's hoping everyone in the area can stay safe.
YouTube... doesn't exactly seem to feel the same way.
Yeah, after looking at my plan for the chapter and the sheer amount of stuff I want in it we have multipart chapters now. Time is precious due to me starting my job anyday now and going on vacation in a few weeks. March needed a chapter.
Horrific realization of the day: The Student Six comprise a harem anime cast.
Details below.
Just saw Runaway Brain.
, Seriously it was really cute. I wouldn't have minded this more chill Mickey, the dark vibe was so funny. The doctor turning to a skeleton was just perfect.
Hope everyone is having a safe night, just blogging to blog! Lol, ever just talk to hear yourself? It's kinda like that...
Do you know Rainbow Dash?
Yes
Do you know Nimbus?
No, who’s that?
Let me show you a visual aid. *beeps remote*
This is a lazy cloud from Toca Life Stories.
Oh, okie.
I actually once (in toca world) shipped RD with him. A cloud. Btw, RD has red hair in this. RED!
Some nihilist has clicked the 'dislike' button on Letters From an Irradiated Princess, sending it down to be ranked 523rd on the site. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Hubris, tragedy, etc. I suppose I am no longer best at pony.
(Still, I take entirely too much pleasure when my stories apparently are in the top 1% of fanfics on the site).
And now, time to go be productive on some other stuff! In theory.
