Nothing much. (Seriously. Just pretend I'm not here.)

Read issue 16 of s8. And... The point where I squeed? When Xander referenced 'My Friend Flicka'. I sooooooo need to re-read that book! (I presume there's a film also? Not that I really want to watch it, I'm not really one for adaptations.) But my goodness that one made me all flaily - and terribly nostalgic! *meeps* 'Flicka' is Swedish for 'girl' btw, but in the book the name for a horse.

There were lots of other things too, I think. Sorry, have nothing much to say right now. Subjectively I like the art more, but everyone looks even *less* like themselves - and not even like their comic selves. *deep sigh* Oh and the Dawn thing is OLD! Stop it. [ETA: She's a little less annoying as a centaur, but I just want her human shaped & sized already. She's plenty interesting in and of herself imho!] Also much timey-wimey talk. Fun, but life is OMG busy, so no more thoughts!

old version and new version .

There's TWO? Well, I'm guessing Xander saw one or other (probably just a snippet) and that's where he got the reference. It doesn't strike me as his thing exactly. *g* (Young boy forms deep bond with willful foal...)

I have to say I've also heard of 'My Friend Flicka' despite not knowing if it was a book or a film or a TV series, just that it's about a horse. (I've also never owned a My Little Dawnie Pony, despite knowing about them too). It's just part of the culture.

Really? How interesting, I've never heard it mentioned. (Guess I'll come across it lots more times in the weeks to come, that's how these things usually go!)

And I've owned LOTS of My Little Ponies! :)

I first heard about it on the Simpsons. Moe reads "My Friend Flicka" to sick children when he volunteers at the hospital. :-)

Oooooh, so he does! And Little Women. :)

No, no, no. He reads "Little Women" to the homeless bums at the shelter.

And then he cries. And hopes no one finds out. :-)

No, no, no. He reads "Little Women" to the homeless bums at the shelter.
It's all coming back to me now... it's been too long since I watched The Simpsons. (But I remembered the crying! Oh Moe...)
