Of course I’m voting for the girl who acted like a horse in the library! She’s internet famous!

I’m giving partial credit to Reef on this one. I based the thing off a comment he made during the movie.

Has it been two months? Wow. Seriously, wow. It’s felt like a week. And then an eternity. Respectively. So, yeah, I guess that rounds out to roughly two months.

I am now an employed instructor for a place what all has those small humans. If you’re wondering why we’ve gone as long as we have without a comic, it’s because I’ve been spending roughly 14 hours a day at my learnatorium, preparing my lessonations for the childfolk. I’m tired and completely devoid of free time, but only eight months until Summer, so bully for that.

I kid, of course; I love my job, but the whole 14-hour thing is true. And apparently sleep is a privilege, not a right.

Before moving, Reef, his fiancé Saber, and I had one final in-person get-together to watch Equestria Girls and do various other junk. The bulk of our opinions have been documented in the next Horse Power Comicast (which I hope to have out this weekend), but to sum it up, Equestria Girls is fine. Just fine. No more, no less.

When last I discussed the topic, I expressed a fear about the change in setting from the magical land of Equestria to plain old boring old high school, and I couldn’t feel more disappointed in my vindication. Maybe some enjoy watching vast landscapes of identical lockers, but I yearn for the rolling hills and ornate, distant castles. I miss magical dragon mail belches and silly innocence from ambiguously adultish creatures; it just feels wrong when the characters have a tiff over, of all things, an e-mail or text message or whatever it was.

The saving grace was the last ten minutes or so, and I probably would have held the whole thing in higher regard if there was more of that and less petty teenage drama.

Like I said though, it’s fine. It isn’t bad. If you’re curious enough, I say watch it just for the experience of having seen it. It’s definitely not better than any given episode of the actual show, but it’s not painfully offensive. It is a thing; it achieves existing, and launching an expensive and ugly toy line.

Jet made a thing via stuff. See above. In other news, Korra continues to rock.

That is all,
