Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I woke up from a dream last night that convinced me that Dream Me is a bit… weird. I don’t remember that much about the dream. But I do remember that towards the end of it, I was ordering coffee. And I requested extra… cheese. Extra cheese for my coffee. As in, as though I were ordering a pizza.

Fortunately, the barista was saner than I, and handed me a mug of cheese without coffee in it. And then I realized how weird my request was, and I ordered a cup of coffee to go with my mug full of shredded mozzarella.

I then got the “cinnamon coffee-cake” flavored coffee, which was extremely disappointing. (Even in my dreams, I don’t like “naturally flavored” coffee, I guess) and so I (finally) ordered just my regular coffee, with a bit of half-and-half.

My alarm then went off before I was able to try that round of coffee. I’m sure it was better than either the (very disappointing) cinnamon-coffee-cake-coffee, or than cheesy coffee would have been.

Anyway, have a great day!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Web browsers can be rather silly sometimes. In fact, they can be silly to the point of needing to develop new habits to get around their silliness.

Take Chrome, for instance. That’s one of my primary browsers. (I’ve had bad luck getting Firefox to work at efficient speeds. Hence, my use of Chrome.)

But one of the things with Chrome is that it learns history and anticipates URLs really fast.

(Yes, that’s normally a good thing.)

In some cases, however, it’s not. You see, I (of course) use Google as my default search engine. And I like being able to press “g+tab” in the URL to pull up a google search. But I also read the comic “Girl Genius.”

If I’m not careful, then Girl Genius becomes my automatic first link suggestion when I type “g” into the browser.

So I’ve started reading Girl Genius in my incognito/private browser. That way, it doesn’t record the history, and therefore doesn’t teach the browser to pull up something other than Google for my first suggestion after typing “g”.

It’s kinda silly how much the browser has shaped my internet habits…

Have a great Monday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

For those of you who don’t know, I love socks. Especially brightly colored extremely clashy socks.

(Yes, I was the one who slightly cried inside when my obnoxious semi-metallic rainbow toe-socks with 3d-puff-paint-smiley-faces developed hols that made them unwearable.)

And one of the reasons I really like socks, besides the fact that they’re bright and chipper, is that it makes everything you wear look intentional.

Are you wearing stripes with polka-dots? well, that’s typically bad.

However, if you throw on a pair of hot-pink knee-highs, suddenly it becomes a “fashion statement.” Yes, the fashion statement might still be clashing. But at least it looks intentional.

And this way, even if you’re not aware of what sort of fashion statement you’re (accidentally) making, it still looks like your own personal style. Because you’re just that cool.

So, have fun! Get some delightful socks! ENjoy your knee-highs!

And have a great Tuesday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

I don’t have much experience with this, but it seems to me as though worldbuilding a secret society into a fictional world (whether a book, movie, TV show, or any sort of fiction) should be a fun way of keeping stories going. After all, since they’re secret, you can have pretty much an unlimited number of secret societies. So, you destroy the first evil secret society? Scene-change to the second secret society that’s behind the first! And on!

And you can get away with it, because theoretically the society is secret. And if it’s secret, nobody knows it exists… until it is revealed.

Yup. They seem like a fun plot device.

Happy Sunday!
