Redoing Star Wars: Phantom Menace

Greetings, readers! Welcome to this Saturday’s edition of TotalFluff’s Daily Fluff.

This week, I came across a rather interesting YouTube video. It was a different version of Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace.

The fellow in the video talks about what he would have done differently if he was in charge of the Star Wars prequels. (Warning, I don’t remember if there’s any “language” involved.) The video is a bit long, but his description of what he would turn Phantom Menace into makes it sound like an amazing movie. I wish I could see this actually happen.

The fact of the matter is that the way this fellow presents his ideas, it looks like it would be a good movie. The interplay of light and dark, the development of jealousies, temptation, all of those go into the classic story. I also approve of removing the Gungan from the movie.

What about you, readers? What did you think of this fellow’s suggestions?

I found something worthy, but now I don’t remember what it is

It’s annoying when this happens.

…What?

This. I was going to write an epic fluff post. I had the topic all picked out earlier, after an extensive time of research. And now, when I’m actually trying to write the silly thing, I don’t remember what my topic was.

Oh, the tragedy.

You know, for a melodramatic actress, you really don’t use that much excitement in your tone.

The world may be a stage, but I’m not in the world right now. I can therefore take a break, if I so choose.

Ok, fine. Fair point.

That still doesn’t help. I guess I can write about

Things that this post might have been about… If I Remembered the Topic

1) A YouTube Video of some sort.

You have done a number of those recently.

What can I say? They’re fun and quick. And they take provide a healthy dose of fluff into daily life. I don’t remember if that’s what my topic for today was going to be about, though. After all, it might also have been

2) Real World News Events. There are a few things fluffier than news. But when the reporters are fishing for headlines, it’s really hard to beat them for fluff! I can’t decide if it makes my life easier or harder.

I don’t remember anything particularly fluff worthy, though, so I’ll assume that’s also not it.

3) Crafts & Projects & Stuffs. Except, I haven’t really had time for any of that lately either. Huh.

4) Something Epic & Amazing. I’m guessing this was it. After all, it’s got ninja-like skills to sneak in and hit me over the head with inspiration, and then leave surreptitiously without my even noticing! So I’ll assume that it was something awesome and cool and like this should have been the best post ever.

So, Fluffsters, can you just use your imagination and pretend that it’s the most amazing post you’ve ever read? Or, better yet, comment on what you think my post was supposed to be about?

Happy weekend!

Epic Violin & Cello Music

Hello, Fluffsters!

Have you ever heard of the Piano Guys? Or Lindsey Stirling? If you have, you’re in for a treat. If not, you’re still in for a treat.

The Piano Guys are probably the best pianists / cellists I know of. They make lots of YouTube videos and variations on popular (and classical) music and stuff. They’re amazing and I highly recommend anything they do. With very minimal restrictions on that.

Lindsey Stirling is another very popular YouTube musician. She does very impressive videos, and plays the violin amazingly well. Her videos normally tell some sort of story, or illustrate things from the video games / movies / stories she’s taken her variations from the music on. (Did that sentence even make sense?)

Well, back to my current topic. These two sensations have teamed up, and they’ve created a Mission Impossible themed music video. Not only is the music a lot of fun (who doesn’t like the MI theme music?) but it also shows a very fun story. It starts off with Her getting a mission, and it goes on from there. I highly recommend watching it.

I think one of my favorite parts is that the video managed to work in most of the most famous elements from the Mission Impossible series. (Spoiler alerts.) There’s a person dropping from the ceiling without being seen, there’s a face-removal, and there’s a ridiculously complicated laser obstacle course they need to get through.

In other words, I really enjoyed this video. Have a great Thursday, and a wonderful rest of your week!

Greetings, Readers.

To start your work week off, I am providing you with another YouTube video. This one gives a miniature lecture on the art of drawing borders. It is worth watching.

I think my personal favorite part is about the lighthouses, tourists, and lobster fishermen. Either that, or the fact that members from both Canada and the United States need to cross the border multiple times a day in order to receive higher education.

My country does things very differently.

I hope your week is less bizarre, but as amusing as, the Canadian / United States border.

A “cheesey love song”

Hello, Fluffsters! Happy Sunday.

Before I get to the main purpose of the post, I am going to rant. Christmas music. Is. Taking. Over.

Why do people need to start playing Christmas music by the end of the FIRST FLIPPING WEEK OF NOVEMBER?

…Do you not like Christmas?

It’s not Christmas that I’m ranting about. It’s the music that gets played non-stop from November through the end of January that is absolutely obnoxious.

Seriously. We only just finished Halloween. In America, we’ve got Thanksgiving coming up. Why can’t we give the holidays the time they deserve, and wait on the Christmas music? And other Christmas stuff?

Ok, rant over. That actually provides a nice transition into the topic I’m wanting to talk about.

You see, I figure that if we’re starting to discuss holidays too early, why not jump on the bandwagon? So today, I’m presenting:

A Love Song for Valentine’s Day.

All ranting aside, this is actually a really cute song. Disclaimer: A friend’s friend wrote it. But it’s still amusing. It’s slightly (okay, more than slightly) cheesy. But that makes it charming. You have to see to understand.

In the singer’s defense, she didn’t tag it as a Valentine’s day thing. And from what I understand, love songs can be popular throughout the entire year. (Unlike Christmas songs, I might add…)

So, without further ado, the Cheesy Love Song I mentioned.

Happy Sunday, Fluffsters! I hope you have a good week.

After Halloween

Hello, Fluffsters!

Happy 10-days-after-Halloween! I hope you’re having an excellent Saturday, and a great November so far.

I’ve been starting to think, though, about the costumes that were used for Halloween. What do they do now? Do they sit peaceably in whatever closet you store them in? Do they dream about their one night of freedom, when they were viewed and played with?

Recent photographic evidence has come to light that they do not. Here, I have a link with images of 22 costumes that have decided that enough is enough. They have gone out into the world, and have let themselves be seen out of context.

You have been warned.

Happy Saturday.

Words that should be used more frequently

Salutations, readers all! I hope that you are doing well on this day.

Today, I will be discussing a problem concerning wording in your language. More to the point, the lack of the use of certain expressions and phrases. There are words that English has that are not used frequently enough.

Top Words that should be used more frequently

1) Sesquipedalian. This was the best word to start with that I could think of. I am writing this post because I have discovered that I am one. A Sesquipedalian, for those who don’t know, is one who loves long words. This should not be confused with hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, or the supposed word that means “fear of long words.”

It’s not just a “supposed” word, Fluffy, it’s real.

Oh? Why do you say that?

There’s a YouTube song about that word.

That’s… slightly disturbing. But I digress.

2) Enigma. It’s puzzling to me why this one is not used more frequently. This word, after all, has the potential to cause confusion. At the very least, it can describe the confusion. “The confusion was enigmatic.” Yes, that may be redundant. It is still descriptive.

3) Alacritous / alacrity. If you get this definition quickly, you’ve gotten this word. Yes, alacrity means speed and quickness. It also has a musical tone to it. Why say “speedy” when you can say alacritous? Why use the phrase “with great haste” when you can say “with alacrity?” Using alacrity is alacritious.

4) Penultimate. This is a marvelous word. Penultimate. It means “next to last.” You’ll notice that I’ve placed it in the appropriate location, to further demonstrate my point.

5) Perspicacity. If you use this word, you’re sure to sound perspicacious. This word means keen and shrewd. Discourse everywhere would improve with more perspicacity in the arguments.

Have a good day, fluffsters.

The Best Type of Fluff: Useful Fluff

Salutations, readers! I wish you a wonderful Thursday.

Recently, I have discovered an interesting form of “fluff”. In fact, it is a form that I rather like. It is fluff that is useful.

Specifically, it is an online game that encourages good typing skills. It is called z-type.

I have spent time watching people play this game, and it looks interesting. I suggest you try it- you might enjoy it. At the very least, your typing or spelling might improve. It might not, but it might.

I wish you the best of days, readers!
