Hi!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m really excited about the fact that Emma Watson is playing Belle in the upcoming version of Beauty and the Beast.
And there was a trailer (and stuff) that came out with a bit of her singing!
So, enjoy! Happy Saturday!

Hi!
So, I recently found out about a fun new “New Year’s Resolution”(ish) craze– it’s called a “Temperature Blanket.”
Basically, for every day of the year, you crochet (or knit) 1/365th of an afghan per day. (Basically, crochet somewhere between 1 and three rows. Possibly knit 1-3 rows instead, too, but you might need to do more for the knit version. I have a tendency to think of knit rows as being shorter than crochet.) Now the fun part? The color you use corresponds to the day’s temperature. Some people choose high, some low, some both. But the effects can be pretty.
And, since we have data on temperatures and stuff for previous days, you don’t actually have to start it on the first of the year (or whatever month you’re starting.) And if you miss a day, you can catch up. All you need is the temperature information, and you can make it!
Lionbrand Yarn, someplace called “the Crochet Crowd” and various other blogs have yarn recommendations and instructions.
Happy crafting!

Hi!
So, a couple days ago, I went to go see Moana. I enjoyed it a lot.
One of the things I liked best (in part because I knew about it ahead of time) was that Alan Tudyk (K2 from Rogue One, Wash from Firefly, etc.) voiced the chicken.
Well, rooster.
You know.
And there’s proof.
Happy Thursday!

Hi!
So, I was just travelling last night. And had a remarkable experience. (As demonstrated by this post…)
There were only ten people on the plane.
And yes, it was a normal, full-sized plane.
Since I was flying Southwest, and they let you pick your own seats, this kinda led to some confusion on my part. You see, I have a system for choosing a seat. (No, I’m not sharing it this post!) But the system depends on there being at least close to a full flight.
With only ten… it was a bit confuzzling.
It worked, but it made me think.
So just to clarify, Webmaster… You have a “system” in place for a full plane, and it was more challenging to find a seat when there were only ten people?
…
Yep.
Anyway. Have a lovely Wednesday!

Hello!
So, I’m very happy to be continuing to start off the year with some fairly light-weight, absolute fluff about celebrities.
It turns out that Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, in the series Sherlock for those of you who didn’t remember) is related to the author of the original Sherlock Holmes. According to various sources, they’re 16th cousins, twice removed.
And they were related to royalty.
So, yep.
In related news as well, the new series of Sherlock is finally here! So, go watch. When you can. (I don’t have a link for you, and I haven’t seen it yet. But, it’s probably good. After all, SHERLOCK!)
Have a great day!

Hi!
So, slightly delayed picture… I actually took this more or less in time for New Year’s Day, but I’m posting it today due to the series that TotalFLuff was running.
The picture is of my dog as a burrito. I thought it was especially adorable.
Enjoy!
PUPPY BURRITO!

Hello!
HAPPY 2017!! To “ring in” the new year, I thought it would be fun to start on an epic “note” with a Star Wars Medley played on a carillon.
Enjoy!

Hi!
So, some of you may be aware of the movie “Assassin’s Creed” that came out a bit ago.
It’s (apparently) based on a video game franchise I haven’t played. It may be interesting. I don’t know.
But in honor of that, I’m sharing with you the “Literal Trailer” for the trailer for the first game of the franchise! It’s another of my favorites, so I hope you enjoy!
Happy Tuesday!

Hi.
I have a cold. I’m not happy about this. My nose is especially unhappy about this, and is making the rest of me very unhappy by extension.
In light of this, I have determined that there are a few (fictional) villains I am more than a bit jealous of at the moment.
first) The Eye of Sauron. Literally, he’s just an eye. There’s, like, no sinus problems he needs to deal with. Granted, the eye looks a bit irritated all the time. And it’s “wreathed in flame.” Which might hurt. So, probably not perfect. But at least there are no nose problems!
a) The “Vampire Pancakes” from Star Trek. Ok, so technically they’re “Neural Parasites”, from “Operation – Annihilate!” They still look like pancakes. And they have vampiric tendencies. And my family has always referred o them as “Vampire Pancakes.”
But I digress.
The point is that they’re completely nose-free. Which means they can’t have noses that periodically try to kill them with the pain of a cold.
So, yeah. Tiny bit jealous right now. Even though they’re unable to be in sunlight and stuff, which might make it a bit hard to lead a normal life.
But hey, who’s perfect?
i) Lord Voldemort from the Potter-verse. He doesn’t have a nose, starting from the end of “Goblet of Fire.” I’m personally feeling like he might have been onto something with that when he gets “reborn.” After all, we don’t hear him complain about a cold, do we?
And how could he, if he doesn’t have a nose that can get congested?
Ok. So, I guess he still has some nose slit thingies. And he probably can’t enjoy food as much. So, there may be downsides. But still. Probably at least minimal congestion and coldage.
And finally, 1) Jafar, from Aladdin. Especially once he gains his Mad Sorcerer Powers, with the ability to turn into a snake. He’s able to still be human and have a nose, so he can enjoy his food. But whenever he wants, he can turn into a snake. Which is a noseless creature. NO CONGESTION!
So, basically the best of all worlds. Able to enjoy the perks of a nose, with none of the nasty side-effects. I bet cold-germs probably wouldn’t even survive in a reptile, either.
Sweet deal.
So, yep. That’s how I’m feeling right about now. How about you?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
So. My brother-in-law comes from a family where it’s apparently tradition to include prank gifts. I found this out last year, when he gave me a rubber chicken. (“It’s better to have a rubber chicken and not need one, than to need a rubber chicken and not have one!”)
Anyway. My gift for him (alas) is not up to those standards, as it’s almost something that people might want for themselves. (No, I”m not posting what it is. I know he won’t read this before he opens. But still. Principles. I have them. Ish.)
One of the features of the prank present is that it’s ridiculous to open. So, I’d originally planned in basically wrapping the thing in tape. I couldn’t find that much tape, though, so I ended up sewing it shut.
Yes, it was easier for me to find a needle and thread and to sew crepe paper shut, than to find more tape.
Priorities. I have them.
Anyway.
Again, Merry Christmas! I hope you have a great one.
