Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

   Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

Would you party with me? I need a reason to celebrate.  Let's go over the wild week I just finished, my crowd!

 For once, I have many things competing for the most exciting thing that happened to me! But I'll start with the one that was the most terrifying.  Long story short, my primary hard drive (SSD) ran out of space. My fault for getting something that was small. It took a hit to my bank account, but I was able to save my computer by getting a new SSD. I was hoping to wait since this was going to be my birthday gift, but two Windows updates in a row pretty much killed that idea. I was HOPING to get a SSD with a TB of space, but one wasn't available, so I had to settle for half a TB. Hopefully that will be enough, and maybe now I can get to work reinstalling programs and things I deleted before. ... I wonder if my previous computer had a SSD.  (BTW, I got to keep my old SSD, but I couldn't install it since there were no extra cables for it.)

 At the beginning of the week, I managed to successfully switch my Internet/Phone/Cable service provider! I have left Optimum (previously known as Suddenlink), and I have joined Vexus. They have fully connected my house up and everything.  However, they have started the billing cycle early. I need to make sure everything with Optimum is cleared out. I removed my card from their files, but I want to make sure they won't try to keep charging me or anything. I almost didn't make it as well! The timing of my computer problem was most unfortunate. It kept me from logging onto my Optimum account online because I only had digital records of my accounts. I forgot to make written records. But thankfully, I was able to get my computer back real soon and do what needed to be done.

 Despite everything, I actually managed to have enough to get everything I need for my lawn mower and my weed eater.  Of course, my uncle borrowed the filter for my lawn mower. He was going to clear it out and he hasn't returned with it yet... But if the weed eater works, then I should be able to get a good start, at least! Here's hoping this works.

 There was one epic trailer that was dropped this week that has got me hyped!  It won't be long before MLP Make Your Mark premiers, and the trailer showed off a certain purple princess that no one expected to see! Game on, MLP. My hope was beginning to wane, but you have a chance to bring me back in. The other was Sonic Frontiers. I am SO happy to know that Super Sonic will be a part of this story and it isn't being phased out after all. Also completely unexpectedly, after I got my computer fixed, the next episode of Elements of Justice dropped! It ended on a cliffhanger, but it was so good, and I have some predictions for how this case will end.

 DonBrothers 28: Strangers In The Nightshade.  This episode was a mix of things. I am beginning to really dislike it when Super Sentai introduces a new giant robot combination in an episode that has nothing to do with it. This episode's main story, compelling as it was, didn't reveal to the DonBrothers who Inu Brother is. I hope it at least left a clue. I believe the MOTW was themed after Dynaman. However, this is one time I don't mind that the host has no connection to Dynaman since that show was kind of basic anyways. The only thing that falls apart about this story is that Inu Brother had no reason to actually help the lady in this episode. Seriously, why did he care if she alerted the police? He's been on the run this whole series.

 Geats 02: No Gold Rider For You!  And now after two episodes, I am getting a better handle on this. Geats is a fox that plays tricks, and the ultimate trick is that he is keeping us guessing. He has a good side, but doesn't let the world see it. To his fellow Riders, he is competitive and will gladly encourage them to rise up by being their rival. Who he is and what he is after is the main story. It looks like Keiwa is going to be the other half of this main story. He seems to be truly virtuous but never had a reason to fight before. He couldn't save a friend from death and Geats manipulated him, so this show is going to slowly build him up into a dependable Rider. Still many mysteries about the monsters, the grand prix, and so on. However, I like this better than Ryuki. And while it makes sense that an unconventional titular Rider would be played by an unconventional character, I do hope we learn more about Geats soon, because his current characteristics could easily get annoying.

 ReVice Girls Remix 03: Ladies Liberated.  Well, this special surprised me. It did not end the way I hoped. I admit, I have not seen all the Build specials, so I don't fully know what to expect with Takigawa or what I should have expected. I call BS that Kanon didn't get to become Kanon Specter! Furthermore, I jumped the gun. I thought they were reviving Yuriko Misaki, the original Tackle, as an evil Tackle. Turns out, this was just an orphan with a similar name, Yuriko Kuroe. Still, she makes a great Tackle. I could speculate, but thinking about it too much makes my head hurt, and I could go on forever about it. If you were ever wondering if Sakura and Hana were a couple or not, this short spells it out that they just see each other as family and nothing else. Sorry if you were expecting more. Perhaps if I was a little girl, I might enjoy this, especially if I were too young to have seen Ghost or Build. It's not bad, but it could have been better.

 MLP TYT 26: Put Your Hoof Art Down!  It's always a good time when Izzy is helping background ponies that need it. It's great to see that unicorn tavern in full again. However, I must stress this again... Limiting one unique design per customer is NOT a good working model, even for artists with boundless amounts of inspiration. You will not find a nail saloon that does the same IRL. You might be able to get away with that as a pony, because I know Rarity does with her dresses, but that's why they are magical talking ponies. ...Also why is there so much disrespect for mass production and making multiple identical things? It makes this episode very confused. Jazz is against giving the same design to multiple ponies, but she has no problem copying the art styles and patterns made by some other pony she's never met? Kind of unbalances the moral about being your own artist and making your own things.

That's all for now, my crowd.  Take care, and treat your electronics with care.

I have nothing personal to share this week. So here, have a Custard Cream Bun. I swear, I will make this some day. This is "Custard Cream Bun [No Oven]" by Nino's Home.
