Cutest Towns in PA — (and interesting names.)

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, there’s a list of “cute / beautiful towns in Pennsylvania” and I looked at it randomly. (Multiple friends on Facebook shared it.)

What I found interesting were some of the names. I mean, seriously. One of them is “Jim Thorpe.” That… has to have a story.

Or even the first one, “Lititz.” How does that name get formed?

I guess this is not specific to Pennsylvania, but is a more general “name thing”. But this provided yet another time to comment on it, so I took advantage of it.

Have a great day!

Pretty amazing figure skating

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I was randomly looking up figure skating championship footage on YouTube, and encountered this lovely gem. (The first 5 minutes are the important ones. The fact that the commentators are Russian is actually a perk– they don’t speak during the performance!)

One of the things I love about this routine is the music chosen. I don’t exactly know why the composer decided to do this, but the “Dies Irae” plainchant theme (dies irae is “Day of judgement, day of wrath”) is the main recurring theme.

I really wonder about what story the composer was trying to tell.

Regardless, the figure skating was beautiful.

Happy Monday!

What about the side-characters?

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So I’ve been thinking about “story” recently. And stories. And stories I like.

And one thing I’ve been wondering– what makes a side-character a side-character instead of a main-character? Is it like with the (cheesy) Disney Movie “Sky High”, where there’s a certain “cool-factor” for somebody to be a main-character?

Or could literally anyone in a fictional universe (theoretically) be the main character of a story in that universe?

What are your thoughts?

Have a great Saturday!

Why is it so hard to go to bed when you’re tired?

Hiya, Fluffsters!

I think I’ve ranted about this before, and I’m sure I’ll complain about it again, but… why is it so difficult to go to bed when you’re really tired?

For the past few nights, I’ve been pointlessly procrastinating for a while before going to bed, because I’m too tired to want to stop. Which is silly, because if I went to bed, I’d get less tired.

Hmpf.

So, that’s been my past few nights. How about you? Does that ever happen for you?

Berry bushes are surprisingly prolific

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, the place I’m staying right now has a raspberry bush. So I’ve been picking raspberries every day for the past few days. And it is amazing how much fruit fits into such a little thing. For the past few days now, I’ve been practically filling one of those “pint of blueberries” plastic container things. Seriously. And this is coming from one patch.

In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m a bit shocked by how much fits into those bushes.

Yup.

Anyway, have a great Thursday!

“Cool” summer project

Hiya, Fluffsters!

In keeping with the current temporary theme of cool things, here’s a video tutorial of something called “ice dying.” This is something that looks not only cool, but also nifty.

Isn’t that a fun result? I’d really like to try it at some point!

Anyway, have a great Wednesday!
