State of the Empire – 10/14/18
It’s been a tough month since the last State of the Empire was penned on 9/16/18. Immediately following WordCamp L.A. (a WordPress developers & admins conference), my back problems forced me to seek out a new chiropractor while my newest one was down with some horrible, internal parasite (see what […]

King Sombra took the day off because it’s Tale Weaver’s birthday, so the State of the Empire is being brought to you by none other than my second favorite pone – Rockhoof! So…I try not to get irritated by bloggers on my feed on FIMFiction, but once in a while […]

Website Updates Needless to say, with throwing my back out, getting a new carriage (car) before Gallifrey One, attending Gallifrey One, THEN finally getting horribly sick for a week, progress on the website has slowed to a crawl. Luckily, most everything is done in the design end except a couple […]

…or Tartarus, as the fictional, MLP world case may be. This is the State of the Empire blog that should have happened LAST SUNDAY. There are MANY reasons for this…the biggest being Gallifrey One and the case of Con Crud that hit me the day after the convention ended. I’ll be […]

Celestia PLEASE Kill Me! That’s what I was doing a week ago yesterday. Saturday night I was begging Tale Weaver to take me out to the back of the castle and end me. The reason was because my lower back had gone into a crisis mode and I was in such […]
