Hiya, Fluffsters!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
So, I have a question. Why are there so many associations with mint for this day? I mean, the mint oreos have the appropriate green, and (more importantly) Shamrock Shakes are mint flavored.
Why is that? If it’s the color, why not just green apple flavor?
I mean, seriously. If you Google “Is Ireland Known for Mint“, most of the results relate to currency.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
I’m fairly sure I had a good idea for a post in the shower. I don’t remember it, though. So, here’s the “new” Superman vs. Batman trailer that I’m about a month late in posting.
Meh, whatever.
I’m sure I’m supposed to be all excited about “ooh, yay, they’re throwing WonderWoman in”. So “ooh yay. They’re throwing Wonder Woman in. Yippee.”
Similarly, I’m guessing I’m probably supposed to be thrilled about… the villain. (I’m not sure how to spell his name, and the Google is temporarily unavailable.) However, I just think he sounds more like the Joker than… the villain… he’s supposed to be playing. I mean, he does look like an interesting character. Possibly the only one in the movie. But, yeah… That would be because he seems reminiscent of The Joker.
It also looks like it’s going to be another one of those “dark for the sake of darkness” movies that D.C. has been doing recently. Like, with the Man of Steel show.
And (sorry fans) Superman is a boring character.
(Maybe that’s why I’m not as much a fan of Captain America, either…?)
And seriously. The way they threw in WonderWoman. (Wonder-Woman? Wonder Woman?) Token Female Lead. Except, she’s apparently not really a lead. Since after all, it’s Superman vs. Batman. No, umm, “Token Female’s Name” to be found.
I may see it if it gets really good reviews, but I don’t know.
And all that casual destruction. Per usual for D.C..
Ok, so, per usual for superhero movies in general. But at least Marvel’s been addressing it, to an extent, with shows like DareDevil and Jessica Jones.
DC has yet to do so, as far as I’m aware.
So, yeah.
Trailer shared, and I can mark that off my “to-do” list for this blog.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
As you may have seen, there’s a new Captain America trailer that came out a few days ago.
Here it is. It’s a cultural event, so you should probably watch it. Whatever.
I take it you are not that excited about it?
Meh, kinda.
It looks a lot more “DC” in style than what I’m used to with Marvel. Mostly.
Ish.
Maybe not at all.
Ok, so actually, it looks more “Captain America dark heavy let’s be political and philosophical angsty” than “Avengers Funny.”
And although I enjoyed that darkness and depth in Daredevil and Jessica Jones, when I go to a Marvel movie, I like the fluff and silliness found in movies like Guardians of the Galaxy!
So for me, the primary redeeming feature of this trailer is the appearance of Spiderman. Hopefully they keep him a bit snarky.
Because that’s fluff and fun.
Otherwise, I really may as well go see the new D.C. movie coming out instead.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, you didn’t have anything going on this weekend, did you? Because if so, I wouldn’t want to distract you.
Otherwise, I’m just going to remind you that Girl Genius, an absolutely fantastic webcomic, exists.
It is absolutely worth the hours it’ll take for you to get caught up. The current part of the story is being quite good! And it’s tying back to some stuff from the first 5 comics. Which we’ve been waiting for. For almost fourteen years now.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, I rediscovered a fairly effective way of getting me to stop eating things or using things or whatever:
Have only one remaining.
This is especially true if it’s something I’m used to having. (For example: Squares of chocolate.)
Granted, I will try to find a substitute of some kind. But I have a tendency to hoard, or at least “save things until I really need them”, so it can be effective.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
I’ve mentioned The Hillywood Show on this blog a few times now. And I think I’ve mentioned that they’ve become basically my new favorite YouTube obsession.
Well, they announced on their “support us!” page this morning that they’ve STARTED PRODUCTION FOR A SHERLOCK PARODY VIDEO!
I am really excited. And given the time of the post, it looks like they might even be posting from the United Kingdom somewhere… As in, there’s a possibility that they’re getting original Sherlock locations in the upcoming show!

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, Allergy Season has started up again where I am. Whee.
However, I figured out a way to make sure that allergies didn’t keep me up a couple nights ago– as caffeinated coffee works well for preventing allergies, I just had a lot of coffee last night. The allergies (mostly) went away!
So it was the caffeine that kept me up. Not the allergies.
