Hello, Fluffsters!

So, I’m feeling pleased with myself.

Again?

Yes, again. You see, I’ve trained my ads.

Oh. I am so glad you explained that. I was simply dying to know what sort of nonanswer you would give this time.

You’re welcome!

…

Oh, that was sarcasm again. Wasn’t it.

How astute.

Right. Ok then… So.

Basically, I’ve mostly trained the advertisements that Google shows me.

I now get advertisements for the fibers I already know about and want to spin, and fabric that I already know exists and want to have a project that lets me purchase some and play with it.

And that sentence of yours broke.

…

Yeah, I guess it did.

That doesn’t change the fact that I’ve successfully trained Google to show me things I already want to buy, and like to shop for anyways! Yay!

Congratulations. This may be one of your finest hours.

Thanks!

…Wait a second. Was that sarcasm again?

I am not going to answer that question in any useful way.

Fine.

Well, Fluffsters, I hope your week finishes well!

Inexpensive Summer Refreshers

Hello, Fluffsters!

Happy Wednesday!

A couple of days ago, I tried an experiment. Yesterday, I tried the results of the experiment. And I am now going to share it with you.

Now, you might be wondering what the experiment was. And I’m going to tell you! It was…

Inexpensive Refreshing Summer Snacks: Coffee Ice Pops

Doesn’t that sound good? They’re fairly easy, too, if you have a k-cup machine and the tupperware popsicle makers.

As I said, I decided to experiment, and so I made six: 3 of two types.

The first type was plain iced coffee with milk. I made a 4-oz k-cup, and put in 2ozs of milk. (the popsicle makers hold 2 ozs each.)

Ingredients for coffee-pops

Iced Coffee!!! And Popsicle maker.

I poured that into three of the popsicle makers.

I then made 6 ounces of Vanilla Cappuccino k-cup stuffs, and poured it into the other three makers, and put the lids on them.

Prepping the Summer Snack of Coffee Ice

They’re ready to go in the freezer!

Finally, I stuck them in the freezer, and let them sit for a while. As in, overnight. I probably didn’t need to let them sit that long, but I didn’t want one before then.

I had one of the plain iced coffee ones yesterday morning:

Coffee Popsicle

Dark roast! Yum!

The first one I tried was unsweetened, mostly. It had milk in it, which is kinda sweet, but I didn’t put anything else in. So, it was nice. It was basically like an iced-coffee ice-cube. Or a cup of coffee in ice form. Cold, and coffee-ish. Not the traditional popsicle, but still fun.

I may or may not make more of those.

The other kind, which I just tried before writing this post, were pretty fantastic.

Summer treat: vanilla cappuccino popsicle

VANILLA!!! SUGAR!!!

This one tasted far more like a traditional ice cream bar popsicle thingy. It had the consistency of an ice cube, of course, but it tasted really good. It was sweet, and vanilla-y, and basically like a vanilla cappuccino.

The frozen-ness of it, though really smoothed out the flavor. It was quite nice!

So, there you have it. For the price of two ounces of milk, a coffee k-cup, and a cappuccino k-cup, there are six popsicle summer fun snack thingamabops.

Enjoy!

Fluffy Dragons: A New Crafting Desire

Hi, Fluffsters!

So, recently, I came across a totally epic craft project that I really want to try at some point.

Some people have felted dragons.

I’ve only seen them online, so I’m not entirely sure what they actually look like in real life. But even online they look amazing.

The first one I saw was a lovely fire-toned one. The person apparently received it (and a Pegasus) as a gift.

The other two that I saw are really amazing. They’re by the same artist.

The first I saw is a green one with a tail that can wrap around your hand.

The other is a black one. (Ok, so it’s technically a wyvern. Oh well.)

Seriously, I really want to have time (and money) to learn how to felt now!

Well, happy Tuesday!

Impressive Sounding Music: Game of Thrones Cover

Greetings, readers!

I recently encountered an interesting piece of music today: a low brass “cover” of the Game of Thrones opener.

I have not as of yet read the Game of Thrones or seen any of the show. However, the music is excellent. The low from this cover makes it even more worth listening to.

Enjoy the sheer power of it!

Happy Monday.

Hi, Fluffsters!

So, I think I’ve mentioned epbot before. It’s one of my favorite blog websites.

Well, the other day, that blog shared a post from a different place, and oh my word it was very adorable! It’s basically a Disney Anakin cast member interacting with a probably 4 year old girl dressed as Padme. And as I said, it is adorable. Check it out.

Happy Sunday!

Rant: Animated Hair.

Fluffsters, there is yet another problem in the world.

And that problem is animated hair.

This concern came up at one point shortly after watching Frozen for the first time, and then again after rewatching it. And seriously, what a problem there is! It gives totally unrealistic expectations! I mean, look at Anna. She goes from being a disheveled mess to OMG AMAZING CORONATION HAIR in less than a second.

And then Elsa. First of all, her hair is also amazing-perfect. Then there’s the issue of the physics of her hair doesn’t work. On coronation day, she starts with her hair up in a twisty-bun-y-thing, and then during her big song, it becomes a french braid. Well Fluffsters, there is no flippin’ way that can happen. Believe you me, I’ve tried to figure out any way to replicate it, since the movie certainly implies that there’s only one hairstyle at that time.

So all that to say, animation is totally unfair.

Happy Saturday!

Stock Photos can be Disturbing

Leave a reply

Greetings, readers! I hope you are well.

I recently discovered a section of the internet referred to as “stock photos.” For those of you who are not aware of what such a thing is, a stock photo is a picture or graphic that others then use in websites, presentations, or other forms of media.

Some of the photos were unintentionally funny. Others were disturbing.

As an example of the unintentionally amusing: Readers, why do stock photo-makers ever decide to use road-signs? They seem to misunderstand the concept. When two concepts are on road-signs facing opposite directions, or even merely different directions, the underlying meaning is that the ideas are different.

For the disturbing: Why are there so many stock images of men with lightbulbs for heads? It is disturbing. Possibly even creepy.

What do you think, readers? Why do artists do this to us?

Lizzie Bennet Diaries: ANOTHER break in Tea

Leave a reply

Hi, Fluffsters!

Yes, it’s me putting a break in the tea series. I meant to run one on Jasmine Green Tea yesterday, but since Fluffy McGiggles decided to hijack that one again, that clearly didn’t happen.

And today there’s some nice “Fluff News” about something that happened yesterday, so I’ll just keep the Tea for another time. Maybe tomorrow, but likely not. Two days of interruption in a row really interrupts a series, wouldn’t you agree?

Anywho.

Today’s interruption comes because of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

For those of you unaware, the Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a vlog adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It’s really well done, too.

The reason why there’s an interruption today: The people who do the Lizzie Bennet Diaries (LBD) just posted a new bonus video yesterday. And it’s sweet. And I’m guessing that many fans have already seen it, but that some of you might not even have known of its existence.

Anywho. Here’s the last Lizzie Bennet Diaries update:

And for those of you who haven’t already seen them, you should start from the beginning. They are worth it, and quite addicting.

Have fun!
