Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, I’ve been needing to walk places early in the morning. Yesterday, I remembered about a newish favorite I discovered a couple years ago. It’s from the Tolkien Ensemble. And it’s a delightful walking song.
I hope you enjoy!

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, I know this is a tiny bit either early or late for starting a Halloweenseries. But I was just chatting with a friend, and some music came up, and I remembered it’s absolutely perfect for Halloween.
It’s based off of the original Dies Irae Plainchant Theme.
(The video below is a bit long. You don’t need to hear all of it to get a feel for it.)
So, the words are basically “Day of Judgement, Day of Wrath” in Latin. That right there makes it a haunting refrain. And then a lot of people use it in their music.
One of my personal favorites is the last movement of Symphonie Fantastique.
Another is Rachmoninoff’s Variation on a Theme by Paginini. This one also doesn’t bring in the Dies Irae theme until a few minutes in. I’ve theoretically copied the YouTube time for where it actually starts. (You should listen to the entire piece, though, since it’s gorgeous. And haunting. So, yeah.)
So, yup. Here’s approximately the next location in the piece where the theme comes up. Seriously. It’s a recurring theme. I love it.
I may include more music for Halloween as it becomes relevant. But this will do for right now. And besides, I’ve got the looming terror of the 1,000th post coming up… I’m definitely going to be haunted by how little I do for it…
So, happy 997th post, and happy 9 days until Halloween! And Happy Thursday. Just to give you too many cheerful greetings and all. Because those can be scary. So, yeah. Have a great day.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, somebody did a brilliant job with their cat’s Halloween costume. It is quite adorable.
I mean, seriously. It looks like a pirate!
(That brings up a valid point, though… if the kitty were to eat a particular type of rodent, would that put the “rat” in “piRATe”?)
Anyway. Have a lovely week!

Greetings, readers!
As you are aware, it is October. And thus, in the United States, we are in a month associated with Halloween and activities like pumpkin carving.
Last night, I encountered a rather remarkable video of pumpkin carving.
I am sharing it below. Enjoy, and have a lovely Sunday.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, a friend shared this video yesterday. It’s a video of an owl that thinks it’s a duck. It’s quite adorable, and you should watch it. (No sound.)
Have a lovely whatever day it is today!
(Seriously, I’m so busy, I’m not even sure anymore…)
Anyway. Yep. Enjoy!

Hiya, Fluffsters!
I discovered this one yesterday. I think it’s lovely. Yes, there’s a touch a synthesized-sounding in places. But, it’s still really cool.
Enjoy!

Greetings, readers!
Are you aware of the BBC show “Sherlock”? For those of you who are unaware, it is a BBC production of Sherlock Holms, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Under normal circumstances, it is a modern-day retelling.
This Christmas, however, they are releasing a Christmas Special set in the Victorian Era.
Yesterday, the BBC released a new trailer for it.
It looks rather interesting. Enjoy.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
Apparently, The Piano Guys posted a new video about 4 months ago and I totally missed it. Woops.
Anyway. It’s a very nice, calming version of the Jurassic Park Theme.
Unfortunately, however, whenever I hear that tune, “Luke, I’m your Father” comes to mind, from this video:
Anyway, have a lovely Wednesday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, yesterday I shared one of my favorite animated YouTube videos. Well, I also recently discovered that the artist has an entire “Making Of” video. So, here it is!
Have a lovely Monday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!
I just realized that I hadn’t shared one of my favorite artistic YouTube videos with you yet. It’s called “Thought of You”. It’s a lovely animated dance video.
I hope you enjoy, and have a great Sunday!
