  1. Oh. Right. I'm kinda-sorta here now, so you can send me a message if you like.

      1. @scribus *Squeakysquishes in grasp.* Hiya! :D It's a Scribbyyyyyyyyyyy~ What's up?

        1. @retl Not a lot. Sleep-deprived because of a meetup yesterday and work last night, but it's my weekend now so I think I'll sleep for about . . . ever. :p How are you doing?

          Sunday, 25-Sep-11 14:55:13 UTC from web
          1. @scribus Oooh, alrighty. Sounds like a lot of the MUSH was at that meetup too. XD I had no idea. Or at least at some meetup. I'm not sure which is which. But yeah, I'm fine. Most of my previous week as devoured by an art commission, which I *think* is done, but I can't really call it done until I've been paid. My copy of Disgaea 4 came in the mail yesterday. That was when I realized I accidentally ordered the premium edition of the game. (I didn't even realize there was a premium edition.) And uh. That's about it. I mean new ponies was cool and all, but I can talk about the episode a bit more when there's been a bit more time to form more opinions about it. But I think it's going to leave me with the same impression Over a Barrel did. Once I get paid, all of that money will be spent in balloons. I've already talk it over with a few pals to make sure the balloon order and shipping will fit my wallet and desires. And I'm thinking of drawing a Revel_Romp ref-sheet to send to the OC thing.

            1. @retl Really!? I didn't run across any MUSHers there. But, there were like 50 attendees, so it's not like I got to know everyone intimately. And that's pretty cool about the commissions, hope you get more (if you want them). :)

              Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:11:13 UTC from web
              1. @scribus I kinda would like more because I like having spending money that isn't all loans? :B But at the same time, if I'm going to do that, I'm just going to have to snag somepony else's pricing structure, because I'm severely underestimating what people are asking me for on a consistent basis. Doing $20 of work for $5. Doing >$40 worth of work for $20. Eeeeevery time.

                Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:16:45 UTC from web
                1. @retl I suppose with experience (and, yeah, research) it'll get better.

            1. @retl What's with all the lightning? (says the pony who's name is Lightning Crash)

              Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:06:38 UTC from web
              1. @lightningcrash I think everypony who can sing should get together with a decent group and give Norman Dello Joio's "A Jubilant Song" a try at least once in life. Preferably not just a sight-reading though. A real performance. It's rather invigorating in my experience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAKfLmVHKW4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shEIr0SKusY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22bQSmWapfI <-- This one seems to have a really strong sense of rhythm about it early in to me. A lot of others tend to be a little more loose about the pacing.

                Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:13:33 UTC from web
                1. @retl IDK if I can sing. Some people say "DANG you're good." While others say I should never sing again. I can play cello though & am trying to self-teach the piano.

                  Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:15:50 UTC from web
                  1. @lightningcrash If you think you can sing, you can sing. Shouldn't be much of a surprise that people have varying opinions on people's abilities and aptitudes, when arguing about one's favorite text editor or the best song on an album or best genres of music tend to happen aaaaall the time. People have different tastes and preferences and things.

                    Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:20:26 UTC from web
        2. @retl I haven't spoken to you in like days. How goes it?

          Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:00:14 UTC from web
          1. @thelastgherkin It's alright. Some stress, but I'm nice now that I can get back into the pony RP I've been pulled away from lately. But most of my current feelings is what's of http://rainbowdash.net/notice/546925

            Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:06:19 UTC from web
            1. @retl Ah, neat. Um, what was your opinion of Over A Barrel?

              Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:11:08 UTC from web
              1. @thelastgherkin It needed more time. It needed way more time to fit the scope. The story is there, but the pacing is not.

                Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:15:22 UTC from web
                1. @retl I kind of agree. I mean, I think the first episode was fine for pacing but I think the second episode could have benefited from being two parts long, with maybe the first part ending when SPOILERS FOLLOW Twilight turns grey and all hope is lost.

                  Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:18:03 UTC from web
                  1. @thelastgherkin Definite agree

                    Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:19:13 UTC from web
                  2. @thelastgherkin There's a point in Over a Barrel at which character behaviors shift. It works, and it does push the story forward, but it felt arbitrary rather than gradual. Either way, I still enjoy the episode. Aaaand without going too crazy with it # # # # # -> #

                    Sunday, 25-Sep-11 15:25:02 UTC from web
    3. @thatonepony Me and @thelastgherkin sand Bohemian Rhapsody. (Some of it, at least)

      Sunday, 25-Sep-11 16:44:23 UTC from web
    4. @thatonepony It was pretty epic, actually. And I love that song as well. A true masterpiece.

      Sunday, 25-Sep-11 16:50:27 UTC from web
    5. @thatonepony Yeah, sorry. :/ Perhaps next time.
