New Trailers!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, yesterday was a good day for trailers.

Really, we agree on this?

Yep! The new Finding Dory trailer came out!

Ah… That is not quite the one I was thinking of. For you see, the new Jessica Jones trailer also came out. (Warning: This trailer is not as “child friendly” as the Finding Dory trailer.)

Uh… Yeah, that’s definitely not going to be as kid-friendly as Finding Dory. I mean, they put David Tennant in purple?

Yes…? Why is that a problem?

I don’t know. It just seems… odd.

Well, that might be because he is the villain.

he is therefore supposed to look a bit disturbing. Or at least villainous. The purple helps with that.

…Whatever. Anyway, Finding Dory is also coming out at some point. And hence the trailer. Trailers. Whatever.

Have a lovely Wednesday!

Star Wars 7 Geeking Out — Not Star Wars 7

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I saw something fun last night. It’s a “lightsaber” “battle.” (In reality, it’s a probably highly-choreographed fencing match with toy lightsabers.) But it still looks fantastic! So, you should check it out.

Have a lovely Tuesday!

Star Wars 7 Geeking Out — Trailer 3 Music (again)

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Remember my points about how the music was part of what made the Star Wars 7 theatrical trailer so amazing? Well, the Nerdist has an article up that includes the trailer with just the music.

Alas, it doesn’t include the sound effects, which really make the trailer “pop” (so to speak…), but it still so clearly demonstrates how well Disney matched the music to the scenes. Isn’t it cool?

Anyway, have a lovely Monday!

Star Wars 7 Geeking Out — Old Trilogy Edition

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I know that my post title looks a bit contradictory, but it’s not. I promise. You see, the Nerdist shared a lovely trailer for the old trilogy, done with the same music and in the same style as the new Star Wars 7 theatrical trailer.

It is quite nicely done. And you can compare the new one to the original at the bottom of the Nerdist article. And seriously, the original trailer for the original Star Wars (before it was “A New Hope”) is quite remarkable as a sign of its time…

Anyway. Happy Sunday!

More Star Wars 7 Geeking Out: BB8

Hiya, Fluffsters!

As you’re aware, I’m a total Star Wars Geeky Nerdy Person. I’m REALLY looking forward to the new movie coming out! (Please, Disney– don’t mess this up!)

Anyway, a little bit ago, I caught myself thinking about the new droid, BB8. Specifically, I was wondering why that design. It doesn’t seem like it’s particularly more efficient.

Then, it occurred to me. If movie makers make things because they look cool (and are functional), why couldn’t a different universe do the same thing?

So, yeah. I have no clue about the science behind BB8. But even if it doesn’t make sense, it’s still perfectly fine.

Have a lovely Saturday!

I made another fake window!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I made another fake window yesterday in photoshop. This time using a slightly different process. (At the very least, I didn’t put a framed ‘picture’ in my ‘window’. It’s just the ‘window.’)

And I’m happy with how it turned out.

Have a lovely Friday!

Purple Mountains

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, another picture for you today. I took it yesterday morning, when I looked over and the mountains legitimately were purple. I sometimes forget that happens in real life, not just song!

Have a lovely Wednesday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, for those of you who don’t know, I’m back in California for a while.

And it’s finally Fall out here.

Now, some of you may have heard that CA doesn’t get fall colors. Well, I have definitive proof that that is not so!

See?

LOOK AT THAT FALL FOLIAGE!!! 😀

As I said, proof that California gets fall: It has fallen leaf/leaves!

Anyway. Happy Fall! I hope you’re having at least as colorful a one as California gets.

My Costume(s) Were Successful

Hiya, Fluffsters!

On both Friday and Saturday, I (somewhat) celebrated Halloween by giving out candy and wearing a costume.

Friday, I dressed as an undercover spy.

Saturday, (yesterday) I was a time-traveler who was trying to blend in.

I got no comments on my outfits, so I must have dressed successfully. It made me happy.

Have a lovely day! And happy November!

Scarily Appropriate Halloween Decorations

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I was at a Costco store recently.

They already had Christmas stuff up. Or so I thought. It was a slightly terrifying experience.

And then I realized that it was actually the perfect Halloween decorations.

You see, they make us think they’re decorating for Christmas, when really they’re using an obscure math joke. From what I understand, in math, there are different “bases” for counting things. (Fluffy made a post about that for why we should use binary to count with our fingers.) Anyway, one of those bases is base 8. It’s referred to as Octal. Our normal base is base 10, or decimal. They get shortened to Dec and Oct, sometimes.

(Don’t those abbreviations look familiar…?)

Anyway, it turns out that 25 in base 10 is the same thing as 31 in base 8. In other words, oct 31 = dec 25. So therefore apparently Halloween is Christmas.

And furthermore, that means that Costco was being extra terrifying in its Halloween decorations by making us think a) it was going over-the-top consumer-focused to the point of starting Christmas decorations and sales a full two months early, or 2) making us think of math (and puns) in order to understand what they were actually doing.

Well played, Costco.

I hope you have a happy Halloween!
