Yep, I know what you mean. I have a friend that lives a little outside Pheonix and they don't have much vegetation in the back, I was out there once and got to experience that once. Your right no fun.
My winter vacation from work has been a bit uneventful at times, but I am enjoying the time off nonetheless. I have been avoiding what are said to be MLP: FiM Season 8 spoilers resulting from some leak at Hasbro. How are things going for you?
Interesting. I first heard about it when CR, a review from Channel Awesome did a retrospective of G1-G3 of MLP and then did G4. I really enjoyed the music and decided to watch the first two episodes and I was hooked. I watched all of season 1 on YouTube and the first episode I saw on TV was The Cutie Pox. It's amazing what this fandom has created from the music by WoodenToaster and LivingTomb to reviewers like Dr. Wolf and Silver Quill.
Yours is pretty darn adorable too
