A “cheesey love song”

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

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!

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!

Even MORE Fluff “Food”

Hello, Fluffsters. My food service is once again bizarre, and serving odd varieties of Fluffy stuff.

Tonight’s was not too bad in terms of consistency. One of my friends did ask whether it was refried beans, though.

A thing of pudding with toffee chips that look a bit like beans.

“Refried Beans”. Or Fluffy stuff of some sort.

The pudding itself didn’t taste bad. The toffee chips in it were a bit bizarre. So, all in all, not worth it. Not bad, but not worth it.

See what I do for you, Fluffsters?

Anywho, happy Sunday!

Random Digits

Greetings, Fluffsters! Happy Friday!

A friend sent me a Fluff request, so I’m responding to it! This friend sent me a link to an amazon book: A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates. The book is basically what it sounds like, from what I can tell. You get a million random digits & stuff for the great price of $65. Ish.

…Your friend wanted you to write about a $65 book?

No. Like with the banana slicer, the best part are the reviews. One person, for example, recommends reading it in its original binary.

Ok, that makes more sense as a fluff post.

Agreed.

Well, Fluffsters, I hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!
