Hello!
So, I encountered a video of a REALLY FUN looking Star Wars thing.
It’s a… toothpick dispenser.
I never would have guessed a toothpick dispenser could look cool.
Live and learn, right?
Anyway. I’d recommend watching with sound off. Up to you, though.
Have a lovely Sunday!

Hello!
If a new trailer for Rogue One hadn’t come out in time for yesterday’s post, this would have been yesterday’s post instead. But it’s today’s, and that works too.
Anyway. On Thursday, I received an announcement from chrome about one of my usual hotkeys. Normally, “backspace” navigated back a page for web-browsing, “Shift + backspace” let you navigate forward..
Now, it’s “alt + (left arrow)” to go back, and “alt + (right arrow)” to go forward.
It does make sense. And there were times that the backspace option got a little annoying, since the browser sometimes thought I was trying to type stuff when I wasn’t, or the other way around. But I still have the muscle memory for the “backspace” functionality, and the arrow keys require a bit more hand-maneuvering in order to activate.
Oh well. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
Anyway, have a lovely Saturday!

Ok, I now (once again) completely understand why there are trailers for trailers, and right now am no longer even annoyed.
The new “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” trailer is out as of about 13 hours ago, and THE TRAILER is an amazing piece of art that is worth being advertised.
I mean, seriously.
The use of the Imperial March motif throughout the entire trailer sets the mood So. Perfectly. Yes, it is during the height of the empire’s power. It’s a slightly darker time.
And the scene with the AT-ATs? And imperial TANKS? Those were just stunning. And potentially slightly terrifying.
Given that the trailer was able to communicate so much, I’m now suddenly reasonably ok with it being advertised… even if it’s supposed to be an advertisement itself. It is worth it.
Anyway. Happy Friday!

Hi!
I am getting somewhere between amused, annoyed, and confused. I remember a day when trailers were considered advertisements. And now, there are advertisements for not just trailers, but for premiers of trailers.
What. Is. Going. On?!
(And don’t say “the Olympics.”)
Anyway. Have a great Thursday!

So, congratulations to all the medalists out there!
Have a lovely Wednesday!

Hello!
As you’re aware, I recently got (and then finished (that’s an update)) the new Harry Potter story. I enjoyed it! A LOT.
So, I have this new theory about the story…
As you’re aware, this one deals with Time Travel. Back to Harry’s 4th year. And you have alternate realities and stuff, pertaining to Cedric Diggory’s death.
Now, here are some things for you to think about:
1) This story is of British origins.
2) This story deals with Time Travel.
3) Doctor Who is British.
4) Doctor Who (obviously) deals with Time Travel.
5) The Tenth Doctor shows up in Harry’s 4th year at Hogwarts as Barty Crouch Jr. as Mad-Eye Moody.
6) We know that Mad-Eye / The Doctor helped Cedric with some clues.
7) We also know from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child that Cedric must be a winner at the Tri-Wizard Tournament, or the timeline we know does not occur.
With all of these pieces of evidence, I have a theory.
I think I see where this is going, and I do not think I approve.
Somehow, Fluffy, that does not surprise me.
Anyway.
My theory is that originally, The Doctor was going along, doing his normal thing with Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey stuff.
Then, Albus and Scorpius start messing with a fixed point in time. The Doctor then comes back to Earth (per usual), realizes that he alone knows that there’s Timey-Wimey stuff happening, and must take the place of somebody who will be able to help shape events. He then does what we see in the fourth year, all for the sake of helping defeat Voldy.
So, we have The Doctor needing to play an insane man (weird, right?) needing to impersonate a professor, all in order to defeat Voldy.
(The Doctor’s technology also partially helps explain the amazing trunk, too.)
Poor doctor. His role in Harry’s 4th year (and in defeating Voldemort!) was never properly understood.
…
I… No. That is not even worth addressing.
Haha, success!
And with that, I bid you a happy Tuesday!

Hi!
In the category of Amazon Purchases… at one point fairly recently, I got a new salt & pepper grinder. (It was inexpensive, I didn’t have one, and I’m happy I got it.)
Unfortunately, the thing didn’t come with any sort of indication about how much it held. So for getting the fillings, I was left on my own to try to guestimate how much grinding salt and peppercorns to get.
Due to other good deals on amazon, I got two 14-oz containers of Sea-Salt. (It was cheap.)
I also got a pound of peppercorns.
It turns out, my grinder an hold probably about only 2-3 ozs of each.
So, I’m now set for salt and pepper. Possibly even for the life of the grinder.
Have a lovely day!

Hello!
So, College Humor made a video about “what to do in an earthquake.”
It is WAAAAAY too accurate about the modern-day response…
I’ve been in places with earthquakes a fair bit, especially when I was younger. One that I remember, was having enough time to go under my desk, think “Wait! My computer!”, reach up to grab my computer (it was my first laptop), and pull it down again. And then it was over.
That was one of the longer earthquake experiences. (Obviously, THAT part in the College Humor video are a bit out of proportion…)
I think there was also a time when it was me and someone else in the room and, just like in the video, we alternated between standing in the archway, getting underneath the piano bench, and crouching next to the couch. At which point it was all over.
That was also one of the longer earthquakes.
Actually, the most recent one I didn’t sleep through was short enough that it wasn’t until I heard someone else ask, “Was that an earthquake?” that I was aware it was an earthquake. (I didn’t leave my seat on the couch. I think I was actually writing a fluff-post at the time… The dog also didn’t twitch. At all.)
And I still have No. Flippin’. Clue. What to do.
Back about twenty years ago, the advice was to go under a piece of furniture, or stand in an archway. It protects you from falling debris. And then research suggested that you’re actually more likely to be crushed by that same piece of furniture than you are to be saved by it… if you’re under it. On the other hand, if you’re next to it, as the furniture gets crushed, it still provides a bit of vertical height, which then allows the debris to make a triangle of space over you. Or something.
And then the CH video completely accurately represented the “stand in a doorframe” thing.
Yep, this is definitely a video that is “funny, because it’s true.”
Have a lovely Sunday!

Hi!
Wow, this is the week for updates from some of my favorite YouTube artists!
Ok, so the Hillywood Sherlock Teaser was barely over a week ago. I’m still counting it. (And no, I don’t really even mind that Fluffy posted that one before me. She did a pretty reasonable job explaining why it was a good trailer. Maybe a bit wordsy, but whatever.)
And there was also a Lindsey Stirling video that came out.
And as of yesterday, there’s also a new “Simon’s Cat” video!
It’s called “Fish Tank.”
Enjoy!

Hi!
I think I’ve shared some of Lindsey Stirling’s works on this blog before. She’s a talented musician, and I like some of her work.
Anyway. This week, she released a new video. It’s got a nice sound to it, even if she isn’t as featured as usual.
It’s also… Pete’s Dragon inspired? I’m not quite sure how that works, since the new release (which it’s based off of) isn’t even out yet. But, there ya go. Who knows.
Anyway, happy Friday!
