I'll have to ruminate on these in order to fully divine the last couple of layers. I mean, I see the first 3 or so OK, but the 4th and on are a bit hazy.

Has your acetampihoinen been keeping the pain at bay effectively, at least?
What art are you working on?
But I like full command of my faculties...
Mostly. It still feels uncomfortable.
The pain actually subsided a bit, but it seems to be coming back. Which is a most unfortunate circumstance as I have a performance tonight which I may have to drop out of. Doubly unfortunate as it is the last performance of the community band I have been in for so many years that I will ever be able to participate in.
Art... There are a few projects I want to do that I haven't started yet out of a desire to do shorter artworks first before starting on the more complex endeavours. A couple that I have placed on hiatus due to the difficulties of backgrounds but that are otherwise finished. Recently, I produced an emergency image in case of disaster and now, I am working on a group picture of three ponies. Some alterations need to be made to it before it can be finished.
The writing unfortunately taxes my creativity to the limit and I find myself progressing through it at an exceedingly slow rate. I know what I want and need to write, and it does not need to be particularly well written for that matter either as it is merely a short biographical piece for a character submission for a game.
And the star chart will take five minutes (metaphorically) once I get around to it.

ION: Bf's grandparents are lovely. They're also really funny and like modern music as well as the old stuff! Pity they didn't have any spirits or I would've gotten drunk last night. Only wine. Icky. Going to the club tonight I think though.

Very random thought - how do Weeping Angels breed?

Well, I'd start just after the emulsions, but I might as well explain what that one is since not everyone's read as much chemistry (or was it physics?) as me. Basically, an emulsion is a mixture of a hydrophile (like water) and hydrophobe (like oil), where one part (usually the hydrophobe) has been whipped into miniature bubbles who won't make the mixture stratify itself, almost giving it the appearance of a solution.
Now, emulsions do stratify if left to their own devices for long enough, so if you have, say, a dressing, you may want reemulsify it before reapplication, which is easiest done by taking the bottle and shaking it up and down in rapid progression, if you get the idea.
So, when this somewhat weird discussion about making a smooth mixture of wisdom and Coidzor reaches the point where Coidz needs someone to help, and Kneen says he'd like to boast his wrist and manual skills, it implies that he's not very good at shaking dressing, because not all men are hard-to-emulsify vinaigrettes (I assume vinaigrettes are hard to emulsify, but it could be the other way around, in which case "not all men" probably refers to Coidz instead), so he hasn't gotten the training required...

Nah, you don't have to keep up with every conversation if you don't want to. Unless there's been 5 new pages since I last looked, I usually spend my mornings reading up on what's happened in here, but I have little to no life apart from studies, and I know that there are those who only ever read up on the last page before they jump back into the fray.

Nah, not so much. It's explained in Flesh and Stone, but the explanation is stupid. I let it pass, though, because it enables one of the scariest scenes ever.

Oh, and don't worry about posting at the same rate as everyone else, either. I mean, I'm one of the more active regulars with ~3,5 posts/day in the last thread. Actually, the average over all who posted there was ~30 posts in the entire thread, or ~1,5 posts/day, and the median was only 9 posts in total, which is less than 1 post every other day, so no press. It took me several threads to even feel like a regular, for example...

Any pictures of angels are Weeping Angels? What?
Apologies about that, not thinking straight at the moment. I can't remember which episodes I should be directing you towards just at the moment, though the internet says "Time of Angels" and "Flesh and Stone" are the episodes of the two parter in question.

One eventually gets used to it. It takes a while to adjust to the rate at which new posts are made. Naturally, I've heard stories about times long since passed where these things went significantly more rapidly. But that could be legend and I'm too lazy to do the necessary archival research.

Also... Ponies can fit in trees depending on the tree.
On the topic of Weeping Angels: SPOILERS
Spoiler
It's very ill-defined. In the episode of their first appearance, there were photographs of them. However, in the two part episode shown later it was specifically stated that that which holds the image of an Angel becomes an Angel, hence why the book they had that contained all the lore of the Angels that had been gathered (a rather small, old and tattered book) had no illustrations. Thus, any recordings, paintings, drawings or photographs of them could potentially come to life as one. Maybe not photographs, but recordings definitely.
And for some reason, Amy Pond's mind was capable of storing such an image and would have eventually turned her into one. But not anyone else's brain. Likely explained away as the result of the reality tear in her bedroom wall.
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
