(Re?)Discovering a New Favorite Art-Form!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello!

So, I recently found a video of an art-form I LOVE. I don’t remember if I’ve shared this type of thing on Fluff or not. But anyway. It’s paintings, with UV Lights. So, you get a totally different effect, based on what lighting you have going on.

There’s an example in the YouTube video below. Enjoy!

Hello!

So, I encountered a video of a REALLY FUN looking Star Wars thing.

It’s a… toothpick dispenser.

I never would have guessed a toothpick dispenser could look cool.

Live and learn, right?

Anyway. I’d recommend watching with sound off. Up to you, though.

Have a lovely Sunday!

New Hotkeys for Chrome, and I don’t know how I feel

Hello!

If a new trailer for Rogue One hadn’t come out in time for yesterday’s post, this would have been yesterday’s post instead. But it’s today’s, and that works too.

Anyway. On Thursday, I received an announcement from chrome about one of my usual hotkeys. Normally, “backspace” navigated back a page for web-browsing, “Shift + backspace” let you navigate forward..

Now, it’s “alt + (left arrow)” to go back, and “alt + (right arrow)” to go forward.

It does make sense. And there were times that the backspace option got a little annoying, since the browser sometimes thought I was trying to type stuff when I wasn’t, or the other way around. But I still have the muscle memory for the “backspace” functionality, and the arrow keys require a bit more hand-maneuvering in order to activate.

Oh well. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Anyway, have a lovely Saturday!

I take back yesterday’s complaint.

Ok, I now (once again) completely understand why there are trailers for trailers, and right now am no longer even annoyed.

The new “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” trailer is out as of about 13 hours ago, and THE TRAILER is an amazing piece of art that is worth being advertised.

I mean, seriously.

The use of the Imperial March motif throughout the entire trailer sets the mood So. Perfectly. Yes, it is during the height of the empire’s power. It’s a slightly darker time.

And the scene with the AT-ATs? And imperial TANKS? Those were just stunning. And potentially slightly terrifying.

Given that the trailer was able to communicate so much, I’m now suddenly reasonably ok with it being advertised… even if it’s supposed to be an advertisement itself. It is worth it.

Anyway. Happy Friday!

I’ve now seen multiple ads for “premiers” of ads…

Hi!

I am getting somewhere between amused, annoyed, and confused. I remember a day when trailers were considered advertisements. And now, there are advertisements for not just trailers, but for premiers of trailers.

What. Is. Going. On?!

(And don’t say “the Olympics.”)

Anyway. Have a great Thursday!

Crazy, spoilerific theory about Harry Potter & The Cursed Child

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello!

As you’re aware, I recently got (and then finished (that’s an update)) the new Harry Potter story. I enjoyed it! A LOT.

SPOILER ALERT!

So, I have this new theory about the story…

As you’re aware, this one deals with Time Travel. Back to Harry’s 4th year. And you have alternate realities and stuff, pertaining to Cedric Diggory’s death.

Now, here are some things for you to think about:

1) This story is of British origins.

2) This story deals with Time Travel.

3) Doctor Who is British.

4) Doctor Who (obviously) deals with Time Travel.

5) The Tenth Doctor shows up in Harry’s 4th year at Hogwarts as Barty Crouch Jr. as Mad-Eye Moody.

6) We know that Mad-Eye / The Doctor helped Cedric with some clues.

7) We also know from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child that Cedric must be a winner at the Tri-Wizard Tournament, or the timeline we know does not occur.

With all of these pieces of evidence, I have a theory.

I think I see where this is going, and I do not think I approve.

Somehow, Fluffy, that does not surprise me.

Anyway.

My theory is that originally, The Doctor was going along, doing his normal thing with Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey stuff.

Then, Albus and Scorpius start messing with a fixed point in time. The Doctor then comes back to Earth (per usual), realizes that he alone knows that there’s Timey-Wimey stuff happening, and must take the place of somebody who will be able to help shape events. He then does what we see in the fourth year, all for the sake of helping defeat Voldy.

So, we have The Doctor needing to play an insane man (weird, right?) needing to impersonate a professor, all in order to defeat Voldy.

(The Doctor’s technology also partially helps explain the amazing trunk, too.)

Poor doctor. His role in Harry’s 4th year (and in defeating Voldemort!) was never properly understood.

I… No. That is not even worth addressing.

Haha, success!

And with that, I bid you a happy Tuesday!

So, I seriously miscalculated on some purchase-sizes…

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi!

In the category of Amazon Purchases… at one point fairly recently, I got a new salt & pepper grinder. (It was inexpensive, I didn’t have one, and I’m happy I got it.)

Unfortunately, the thing didn’t come with any sort of indication about how much it held. So for getting the fillings, I was left on my own to try to guestimate how much grinding salt and peppercorns to get.

Due to other good deals on amazon, I got two 14-oz containers of Sea-Salt. (It was cheap.)

I also got a pound of peppercorns.

It turns out, my grinder an hold probably about only 2-3 ozs of each.

So, I’m now set for salt and pepper. Possibly even for the life of the grinder.

Have a lovely day!
