Fun Disney Impressions with Disney Characters

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi!

So, there’s apparently a YouTuber who does really good voice impressions. Anyway, he went to Disneyland at one point, and did the voice impressions around various characters, and the results are fun.

Enjoy, and have a lovely Saturday!

Google is being weird and I don’t like it.

Hi!

Good news! My internet (and power) is (/are) back up at home!

Less good news: Google results have gone wonky on me. ALL the results have the silly individual box-thing around them usually associated with the ads and stuff.

Boxy Google. WHY?!?!

ALL the boxes. Boo.

I decline to state whether or not the power outage and new Google results are related.

Happy Friday.

Power outages are annoying

Hi.

There is a power-outage where I live. Tat might not be so bad in and of itself, since I do have a laptop, but no electricity also means no internet.

And yet, here you are…

I was getting to that!

So, yeah. Because I don’t have power, and therefore also don’t have access to internet at home, I’m needing to write this at a more public, less comfortable place than I like.

So, yeah. Power outages. They’re annoying.

I hope you have a good day.

Cardboard Melees Exist

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

I recently encountered an interesting phenomenon. Apparently, there is at least one group that utilizes cardboard to create armor and machines to stage melees and other events.

I do not particularly care about the soundtrack on this particular video, but it provides a demonstration of the type of event I was referring to.

Enjoy, and have a happy Wednesday.

FUN story(ish) luck(ish) knitting project!

Hi!

So. Somebody on Facebook shared a link to a fun social crafting idea. It’s a “Knit Your Own Adventure” thing.

It looks like it combines RPG-ness with knitting. And I’m not really describing it well. But you should check out the article on it. It looks cool!

Anyway. Happy Tuesday!

Today’s Fluff Assignment: Watch Sherlock Series 4

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

I sincerely hope that you have seen seasons 1-3 of Sherlock. I also hope you have seen Episode 1 of Season 4.

I hope this in part because the last two episodes of series 4 (episodes 2-3) are presently available on the PBS website.

Although I was not particularly a fan of episode 1 of the series 4, it was required to set up the rest of the season. (That is, episodes 2 and 3.)

And Episodes 2 and 3 entirely delivered.

For context: I enjoyed season 1, really liked series 2, was moderately indifferent about series 3, and was not necessarily a fan of the New Year’s Special that came out last year. However, I personally think that episodes 4.2 and 4.3 were amazing. I am pleased to call myself a Sherlock fan.

I hope you enjoy.

Happy Monday.

Interesting Things that Happened Friday

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

It turns out that last Friday, the 13th of January, was a rather interesting day.

In addition to Flight 666 to HEL(sinki, Finland) on a 13 year old plane arriving safely, Netflix released the first season of its adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I have only watched the first episode. So far, however, it is rather droll. Part of its “charm” is that it does not let you forget that these are characters in a story. There is a narrator with deadpan commentary. The dialog is borderline stilted. Everything is just slightly overacted for the sake of melodrama. The narrator constantly reminds you can stop watching the show.

In fact, the intro song rather nicely demonstrates the tone.

When combined with Neil Patrick Haris’s acting and singing ability, it creates a rather droll tone, in a disturbed sort of way.

I am not sure if I recommend it yet, but I did find the first episode moderately enjoyable.

Have a lovely Sunday.

Cool music “mashup” Year II

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

As some of you may recall, exactly one year ago, I posted about a rather fantastic classical music “mashup”. That piece had a variety of famous composers’ music combined, on the piano, to make a rather lovely sounding piece.

The creator of that mashup has now released the second one.

Enjoy.

Exhaustified brains are confusifying

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi.

As you may recall, I had a very time-constrained thing recently, and so ended up pre-writing some number of fluff-posts.

I’m now writing this post on an exhaustified brain, (well before it’s being posted) after having finished The Thing, and before getting enough sleep. And I have to say, even though I’ve dealt with my brain being too tired before, it’s still kindof amusing and very unexpected what it’s up for doing.

Especially when considering what it’s not willing to try.

So first, some things I’m too tired to do:

a) watch silly, mindless TV. The very idea of watching anything completely mindless makes my brain curl up into a ball and scream “NO!!!!” at the top of its lungs. (Fortunately, it doesn’t have any of its own, and it hasn’t commandeered mine to yell… yet.) So, yeah. No mindless TV shows. This includes cartoons, “family feud” or “Jeopardy” type shows, and so on.

2) Get involved in a good story. So, no reading a good book, Doctor Who, etc.

last) Go to bed. I should. But I also kinda really want to decompress. You know.

Now, here are some things that my brain does want to do.

1) Watch YouTube-available college lectures on creative writing.

1b) Watch video analyses on YouTube about film-making.

So basically, my brain is too tired to let me go to bed or enjoy something mindless. But it does want to do something educational.

I’m so confused.

Anyway. Happy Friday!

The sad thing about good food is that it goes away.

Hi!

So, I’m a bit sad right now… because I had a really, really good soup.

And now I don’t have it anymore.

Technically, I could heat up more, but this way I got a fluff post out of it.

Anyway. Have you found that happens to you? You simultaneously really like a food, and get a bit sad eating it because it’s going away… forever?

Yeah. So. Anyway. Happy Thursday!
