back to the regular computer

Back from holiday.

Had an absolutely lovely time with parents/sister/aunt over Christmas/New Year, marred only by bad weather and now the need for a bit of roofing attention to the house. Nothing serious, but still annoying.

Got my parents to actually try the Takarazuka Hamlet at the end of the holiday. My mother very gratifyingly admitted that it was really quite fun and she shouldn't have been avoiding it so much. Though it was more the "Hamlet" aspect of it that she was interested in. She was particularly impressed by Claudius.

So. Back again. Lots to do. Here's to a new year and good fortune for all of us.

Roofing attention to parents' house or your own? Eeep! in any case.

What on earth is that quote? I followed the link and still can't make sense of it. Satire? A real RPG?

To my parents' house. There's a point on the back where an extension was joined on (by the previous owners) and it's always been slightly dubious. While they had hoped that leak issues had been sorted out, it is the point where any leak is going to happen, and the wind/rain has been fairly appalling.

Ah, that's a quote from a "when I watch" by the author, who has been watching episodes of MLP:FiM and then re-dialoguing them a bit. Sort of like remixing music. By now it's become quite referential to earlier episodes. There's an index at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k6JGHcJFKp-F6_M0-_TyUlJGIjmpj6KTn61PGDQbG0k/edit?hl=en&pli=1

(groans) Sic semper. Good luck with the roofers.

Clearly this requires more knowledge of MLP than I possess, which is nil. Would rather have Takarazuka Hamlet, myself.

Takarazuka My Little Pony Equestria Girls has just crossed my mind. o_o

[incandescens]

Oh dear. ;)

[flemmings.livejournal.com]

You must admit it has a ring to it.

[incandescens]

Oh my immortal soul! My pony!

[archangelbeth]

It's probably already got musical numbers!

[incandescens]

Yes, but a lack of roles for male ponies. :)

[archangelbeth]

Details, details. (I gather that Equestria Girls has some guys in it, as the kid was WROTH about the love interest nonsense.)

[incandescens]

I believe there is approximately one personalised male character (who has some interaction with Twilight). Plus Snips and Snails.

Perhaps if we dress him in a suit and trenchcoat...

[incandescens]

Thanks. Fingers crossed.

I have ... Tastes all over the place sometimes, I'm afraid.
