Ooh, are we drinking now? Here, let me fetch a good tune...

Speaking of songs, my weekly writer's group was tonight, and where I left off last week one of the characters was just about to take the stage to sing. And, well...

• One day I walked down meadow trail,
• To have myself a dozey.
• Instead my eyes took in the sight
• Of a maid amongst the rosies.
• I said, “fair girl, tell me your name,
• If it would not be nosey.”
• She tossed her locks and winked at me,
• And said her name was Posey.

-

• Oh such a name for such a lass,
• To set my heart aflutter!
• With hair to match the rising sun,
• And skin as soft as butter.

-

• We traveled to the public house,
• And made ourselves right cozy.
• I was the envy of the town,
• All of the men and boysies.
• We drank the night until the dawn,
• And stumbled forth like rowdies.
• We laughed a waltz until I tripped,
• And fell down with fair Posey.

-

• Oh such a name for such a lass,
• To set my heart aflutter!
• With hair to match the rising sun,
• And skin as soft as butter.

• One day I found that she was gone,
• Without a sign or notesy.
• I searched the village and the wood,
• But found only the blowsy.
• The years have passed by one by one,
• And older do I growsey,
• But still until the end of time,
• I shall recall that Posey!

-

• Oh such a name for such a lass,
• To set my heart aflutter!
• With hair to match the rising sun,
• And skin as soft as butter.

Obligatory:

And with that I go to bed.

Me too. Alcohol makes me sleepy...

Undead are normally immune to alchohol and sleep.

well, it is a depressant.

I'm gonna hit the hay too. not sure whats gonna happen with the cats tomorrow. hopefully something good.

I know a drinking song!

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?

To Anacreon in Heaven, where he sat in full glee,

Anacreon is a word I do not understand.

I was on my way back from my final exams, and for some reason I started thinking about this one time on Fimfiction I helped someone with algebra homework by framing it in terms of Applejack's farm and running costs and stuff.

And then I started thinking about a series of pony teaching aid clips. Like, old-school PBS style, starring Twilight and Cheerilee, with guest stars from the others. Rarity can teach area of a circle by cutting a crochet coaster (the kind made of rings) down the radius and unfolding it into an r-by-2πr triangle. Dash can talk about parabolics. And so on. Like, all the stuff schools try to teach as blank, abstract equations — let the ponies frame it in terms of concrete objects, because kids tend to learn better that way.

This is probably a good reason why you shouldn't ask me about good ideas after a hell week of projects and two exams, but my addled mind thought it was interesting.

Actually a fairly valid point

I've had a song stuck in my head all day, and the best way to deal with that is to get it stuck in someone else's head. Enjoy:

And to actually make it on-topic, I can actually imagine this song existing in Equestria (just with the references to England changed). Some changeling would take the sentiment in the title completely at face value, and would be surprised when some pony points out how the lyrics completely undermine it.

"Bourgeois construct" makes me think of some kind of love golem.

Well, that was a nice song. Then again, it is Pet Shop Boys.

Sweet Celestia, finally!

Well, on the bad side, TVT was down for a while. On the good side, it means I didn't miss anything.

Okay, now we're back.

Maybe.

...day 21 Everfree Expedition?

It seems to be stablizing.

YAY I missed you all!

Wow. Barely anything in one night. This is an new low.

Yes, I know we had some downtime.

What upgrade was it, I wonder? XD Took long enough, my Internet time is surprisingly boring when I'm stuck on Youtube all day XD

Today really made me realize how much freaking time I spend on this site.

Also, in my other internet ramblings I realized that this is a shirt that exists, and that I don't own it. This situation must be rectified.

Hey guys.

Okay, the kittens are still fine, we still have the mommy and the other 4 kittens on the back porch, the first kitten is still inside with us. He's calmed down a little bit, he purrs sometimes when we hold him and we can feed him more easily now. Still haven't named him.

We're also having a really big thunderstorm here.
