Greetings, Fluffsters! I’m back! And you have no idea how glad I am to be. Do you have any idea how hard it is to write even the minimal HTML I use in these posts on a cellphone? Well, it’s difficult. Let me tell you that.

But that’s not actually the purpose of today’s post. No. You see, Halloween is coming up in a few days, and I’m deciding to jump on the bandwagon that I’m sure is out there, and make my posts roughly relate to the mood.

In other words, I’m going to be trying to write a series on scary things. And since Halloween decorations are usually scary things, I guess this means I’m also writing about the creepiest Halloween decorations of all time this week! Or just scary things, if it’s intangible. You know.

Things you eat could fill out the series quite adequately…

Hey, I already suffered through that Lemon Dessert for the sake of this blog. I’m not going to do that more than necessary.

Besides. I already have a topic in mind:

Hairspray.

This stuff is really weird. And this comes from someone who uses it fairly often. I still think it’s scary for several reasons.

Like the fact that people use it?

Funny. No, that’s not exactly one of the reasons.

1) Its flammable warnings. It’s very plain on the bottles that it’s flammable. So why are there warnings? Have you ever considered that?

2) It’s like superglue. But for hair. The “crunch” it leaves in hair is quite bizarre. How does it do that?

3) Using it around eyes/eye-wear is nerve-wracking. You need to make sure that your contact lenses or glasses are far away from the spray, or it could cause problems. You also need to make sure to cover your eyes if you’re going to use hairspray, or it could hurt. That’s a bit scary!

4) How does it get ink out? Because it does. You can use heavy duty hairspray to get ink stains out of at least clothing. Sometimes it even works on skin.

There you go, fluffsters! Four reasons why hairspray qualifies as a halloween decoration. I hope you enjoyed. Have a great week!

Greetings, Fluffsters!

This post is being written from a phone. I love technology!

because of this, though, I’m going to cut this post short. Happy Saturday! I’m having an AMAZING one, hence my need to write this on a phone.

more tomorrow! Have a great weekend. 🙂

Starch Three Ways

Hello again, Fluffsters! Happy Thursday!

Once again, I’m going to be lazy and take advantage of foodish type things that happened at the cafeteria I go to regularly. Today’s demonstration is of dinner a couple days ago. I now present:

Starch 3 ways!

a meal served by the dining service- couscous, pasta, and bread.

A balanced meal. Starch is evenly distributed throughout the entire meal!

The three main parts were bread, a “chicken Parmesan pasta bake”, and couscous. In other words, starch, starch with a bit of protein mixed in, and starch with a few veggies.

I’m guessing that it qualified as “balanced” for three reasons:

1) Technically, it included vegetables and meat. Even though they were very difficult to find.

2) We have “Itallian”ish bread, a grain from North Africa, and a purely American invention. (I’m quite sure the Italians would be cringing at what’s been done to the pasta.)

3) Most importantly, it’s well balanced on the plate. The center of mass remained at the approximate center of the plate, so it’s therefore balanced.

So, Fluffsters, can you think of any other ways that this meal is able to be considered balanced?

Late Night Discoveries: Fish is an Adjective

Did you know that lack of sleep makes life… fun?

Well, it does. So many things just POP OUT at you that you wouldn’t have noticed before.

Huh. I think I really don’t want to know where this is going.

Probably fairly accurate.

For example, here’s an example of a late night discovery.

Fish is an Adjective.

I think I’m going to leave before you make my brain hurt.

…suit yourself. But all I’m going to do is explain why the word “fish” is an adjective.

…Exactly.

Some folks…

Ah well. So, think about the word for a moment. Fish. (Interesting sound, isn’t it? It has a vowel/consonant ratio of 1:3. And it sounds weird!)

Now think about another word. Owl, for example.

Now think about the word Owlish. That’s an official word- my unedited spellchecker says so! It may not accept my name, but owlish is definitely a word. But I’m getting away from the main topic here, aren’t I?

Owlish is a word. More to the point, it’s an adjective, because it ends in the word “ish.”

Similarly,  the words trueish, blueish, and amateurish are all adjectives. They start off as nouns, and then you add the word “ish” to them to make them adjectives.

Therefore, fish must be an adjective- it ends with “ish.”

It even makes sense. The word describes a particular concept, and it sounds a bit like what the creature does. Can’t you hear the splash with the “sh” sound? Add the “f” sound right before, and it really sounds like it’s describing something splashish!

This was just one realization I came to last night, after way too little sleep, too much caffeine, and too much sugar. Isn’t life more interesting like this?

Happy Wednesday!

“Creative Minds” Habits.

Greetings unto you, readers all!

Today, in my perusal of the vast amounts of information now available, I came across a rather interesting article. I appreciated this article in part because it uses the word “faff”. That is a wonderful word, is it not?

The article discussed the various routines and habits of creative minds throughout history, and provides an analysis of the author’s attempts to imitate those habits. I have to admit, some of them looked like they would be rather interesting to try.

If you are looking for some easy to read ideas for self-improvement, I recommend reading the article.

I hope you have a joyous Tuesday!

Tickling Animals

Hello, Fluffsters!

Happy Monday! To prep you for the week, I have found some very cute youtube videos of animals being tickled.

Oh gosh. We’re getting the “Extra Fluffy” treatment today, aren’t we?

You bet!

Now, here’s our first example. This little meerkat is quite cute. Aren’t the grumbles adorable?

Next, this slow loris’s eyes when the people stop tickling him just says it all. (“You stopped? Do you hate me?”)

Apparently some owls like to be tickled. Isn’t this little pygmy owl a sweetheart?

The platypus is definitely the squirmiest of the bunch. She’s also a sweetheart, don’t you agree?

Finally, this little penguin is really cute. The high pitched noises he makes are just so endearing!

Well, I hope you have a wonderful week!

Coffee is Good

Hello, Fluffsters!

I’m afraid I’m not the most coherent right now- I’m dealing with a nasty cold and sinus issues, and I don’t have easy access to filtered water with which to make coffee.

If you’re having trouble with the post, you could always let me write it…

And end up with another fluffy porcupine incident? No, thank you.

Instead, I think I’ll write about coffee.

Coffee is brown
It tastes oh so good
It’s quite a pity
It’s not a health food.

Coffee with cream
is very delightful
With it inside me
I am quite insightful.

…

That may have been worse than your “Bee” poem.

I gave you a heads’ up ahead of time, so I will not apologize.

Happy Sunday!

So, I was thinking about the movie Tangled. And I have some

Unanswered Questions from Tangled

1) How did Mother Gothel know what song to sing to the flower? Does she just randomly sing to flowers, hoping that one of them will heal her of some disease?

Why are there no more flowers like this? Did the flower not have seeds? Why did the king’s men completely kill the plant? Couldn’t they have kept a small clipping for future use?

3) If Mother Gothel’s life was tied to the power of the flower… well, where did the power go? Why did she die right then, instead of of dying at “the time she would have” after having been regenerated most recently?

What about you, readers? Are there any other questions you think are not answered about Tangled?

Owls again!

Hello, Fluffsters! I recently realized, this blog has had a distinct lack of owls recently.

Fortunately for you, though, as I was researching potential topics for today’s post, I came across a Buzzfeed of Laughing Owls.

Owls are cute and friendly, and I suggest you show your support for them by following that link. 🙂

Happy Friday!
