Top Bunks

Hello, Fluffsters!

As you probably already can tell, or will be able to tell, I’m a bit on the very, extremely tired side. So much so that I received inspiration! What is this inspiration about, you ask?

Bunk beds. Specifically, top bunk beds.

I am currently living in a room, with a roommate, and we have our beds bunked. I am on the top bunk. This is still a new experience for me, as up until this year, I had been living on the bottom bunk. So I am in an interesting place of actually being able to determine some pros and cons.

Cons

1) No floppability. This is the big one. You can’t just come back, exhausted, and go FLOP! onto your bed. You need to do silly things like climb your ladder first. And even then, it’s hard to floppify face-first.

2) Closer to the ceiling and fire sprinklers. This shouldn’t be a problem. I’m slightly paranoid, though. In fact, I was paranoid enough about the fire sprinklers that I made my roommate help me move my bed to a different place- a place where I wasn’t within six inches of a sprinkler you can kick and thereby activate and cause to flood your entire room and ruin all your books.

The downside still is that of being close to the ceiling. That’s normally not too much of a problem, but when there are nasty insects (like stinkbugs) on the ceiling, that can be so nervewracking! Will the bug get closer? Will it accidentally fall off the ceiling and onto me as I sleep? What then?

I should stop writing about that. It’s a bit too disturbing for my current state of mind to handle.

That’s actually about it for cons that I can think of for right now. So, moving on to…

Pros

First of all, do you have any idea how difficult it was for me to write “pros”? I really want to put an “e” at the end. Prose. You know. like not poetry. But I’m getting off topic here, aren’t I? So…

1) NOTHING FALLS ON YOUR HEAD AT NIGHT!!! As I mentioned previously, I’m really used to bottom bunkage. With someone on the top bunk. It gets really annoying to wake up in the middle of the night because your roommate’s blanket or full body pillow has fallen on your head again. With the top bunk, though, that problem is eliminated! BWAHAHAHA!

2) I’m actually making my bed. It’s really odd. You’d think that since it’s harder, I wouldn’t be making my bed as often. The fact of the matter, though, is that since it is a lot harder, I need to do it as soon as I wake up, and can’t just plan on doing it at some unspecified “later”.

3) Towerness. It’s up high. Like it’s a tower. That’s fun.

How about you, Fluffsters? Any pros or cons for the top bunk that I missed?

“BatKid”- different perspectives

Hello, Fluffsters! Happy Monday!

This week is starting off quite well. I ended up finishing the project I mentioned yesterday, and I had time to bake and do fun stuff with friends! I’ll find out soonish how the project is received.

For the fluff post today… I’m sure that you’ve seen one of the big stories making the rounds recently. “BatKid“, a former Leukemia patient, age 5, made headlines around the world today.

Isn’t that a sweet story? It’s so nice when people’s dreams can come true!

It’s certainly nice, for that kid.

What do you mean by “for that kid”? It really touched everyone who was there, apparently! Isn’t that a good thing!

It’s good for those people too.

But…? What aren’t you saying, Fluffy?

Why this kid in particular? People at the Make a Wish foundation mention other kids who have expressed superhero wishes, but there was never a response “like this.” So why does this kid get his true dream come true, and others not? What makes this little boy so much more special than other leukemia patients?

How are the kids who did not get the same type of response feeling?

…I don’t know. Those are different questions from what I’d been thinking about.

I still think it’s sweet that this little boy did get to live his dream. It’s really cool that a community came together and made it happen. Isn’t that enough for right now?

…I honestly don’t know.

It is a nice story, and that kid, and his parents, will probably remember this day as one of the greatest days of his childhood. That is worth something. I still don’t know about the other kids.

Hm.

…

What are your thoughts, fluffsters? What is the proper reaction? How are we supposed to consider this, in light of the children who didn’t get as much of a wish fulfillment as this one boy?

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!

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.

So, this happened.

Greetings, Fluffsters.

Today is a sad day. I just found out that the world has lost the largest rubber duck previously in existence. I will join in the moment of silence for the duck.

…

But there is still happiness in the world. Some epic person built an amazing cat home. Check out that link Seriously.

I guess that with the combination of the bird being killed and a great house, it’s a good day for cats. For those of us who are not cats, I do not know how this day is.

I hope you have a good one.

“Life Hacks.”

Hello, Fluffsters! Happy Tuesday!

So, funny story about this post… I was originally going to be writing about effective ways to get to sleep. And then I instead followed my own advice about avoiding going to bed. You see, I was researching topics, and came across a marvelous “life hack” video.

For those of you not familiar with that term, here’s a fairly typical “life hack” list. You wouldn’t believe how long it took me to choose to finally go with this link.

The one I found last night was this one. I highly recommend watching it.

There you go, fluffsters! Some random Life Hacks that may or may not help your life be better. At the very least, I hope they added some amusement value to your life. Have a great day!

No Pie Crust Needed

Greetings, Fluffsters! Happy Monday!

Once again, my food service has tried to foist some “fluff” off on us. WHEN WILL THIS MADNESS STOP?

What flavor was it tonight?

…How can you be so calm? So callous? So indifferent?

It comes naturally. But you’re evading the question.

Oh, you’re right.

It was Coconut Chocolate.

Chocolate coconut flavored fluffy dessert stuff

Coconut Chocolate Mousse

It actually wasn’t too bad. And at least this time they labeled it well.

I think their recipe tonight was “take equal parts chocolate cream pie mix and coconut cream pie mix. Transfer crusts to the blueberry pies not on the screen. Mix mixes together. Serve, and call it mousse.”

It had about the right consistency and flavor for it. It was definitely stiff enough to serve as a pie filling. As with many of the others, my spoon stood upright in it with minimal difficulty.

A spoon stuck upright in a smooth fluffy dessert with no other form of support.

The Spoon stands upright. The Mousse either passes or fails, depending upon your standards.

So, yeah. This stuff wasn’t bad. But it would have been a lot better with its missing pie crust.

Have a great week!
