The best part of the new Jungle Book was the Credits

Greetings, readers!

Last Sunday, I ended up watching the new Jungle Book movie that came out this year. It was a very pretty movie. However, the most entertaining part was — I kid you not — the beginning of the credits. The movie was that dull.

Furthermore, they tried too hard to both use the old movie and the book, and thereby ended up ruining bot. It had minimal story value from my perspective; it seemed to take the worst part of the old movie, and ruined the best parts of the original story.

If you do end up watching any part of the movie, you I would recommend watching it on a speed through until you get to the credits scene. That way, you can still see the CGI beauty, and then you can get the entertainment value of the cutesy animals in the credits.

Needless to say, I do not particularly recommend this film.

Have a lovely Sunday.

A look behind the scenes of some lovely music

Greetings, readers!

TSFH music has been shared on this blog before. The Christmas Medley the Webmaster is particularly fond of is one of theirs, for example.

Recently, they released a “behind-the-scenes” video of a recording session. It is basically just a music video of the song they were recording and some footage of the musicians. It is still absolutely stunning, however.

Enjoy.

Ridiculous Reasons I’ve Needed To Trim My Nails Recently

Hi!

SO, I’ve come to the realization that my fingernails are possibly a bit softer than average… In part because of some of the reasons why I’ve ended up trimming them recentlyish.

And I don’t know about you, but I have needed to trim mine for some reasons I wouldn’t have anticipated.

Unexpected Reasons why I’ve Trimmed my fingernails recently

a) Cooking. Ok, so this isn’t too surprising. I sometimes do stuff with raw chicken, and I don’t exactly have food-handler gloves (yet), and I dislike getting raw chicken stuff under my nails. (ewwww!). So, when I remember, I like trimming my nails before dealing with raw poultry. Similarly for if there’s anything that may involve mixing by hand. (If I end up needing to knead, for example…)

2) Craftsing. Again, this shouldn’t be too surprising. When nails get too long, it can be hard to maintain perfect control of fiber when crocheting or spinning and stuff.

last) because I washed my hair. Yes, you read that correctly. The reason I’m fairly sure my nails are softer is that when I shower, I borderline cut my nails while shampooing and conditioning my hair. Granted, this usually only occurs when I’ve got particularly long nails in a pleasantly hot shower, and when I’m finger-combing my hair. But still. Individual wet hairs are stronger than my thumb-nails. As I said. Unexpected.

So, yeah. Those are the ones I can think of at the moment… Are there any unexpected reasons why you’ve cut (or trimmed) your nails recently?

ANOTHER “Epic Christmas Music”!

Hi!

I recently encountered another lovely piece of music. (I think it might be part of the mix I shared Monday. But this is an individual piece I like.)

It’s a kinda trailer-esque feel semi-mashup of a variety of Christmas songs, called “without end.” It’s got some very interesting dissonances, and a lovely singer. So, enjoy!

Your Monday needs more “Epic!”

Hi! Happy Monday!

As I’m sure you’re aware, it’s Holiday Music Season, where one-time favorites get replayed over and over again in their stale form until you can’t stand them. And it’s a Monday.

Worry not! I’m here with a semi-solution to both those problems!

Well, I can’t actually fix it being a Monday. But I might be able to help improve it! You see, I recently came across a lovely 2 hour playlist of Epic Holiday-ish Trailer-ish music! It’s got some fantastic orchestrations of some of the old favorites, but in a delightfully exciting way. Perfect for both your holiday and Monday woes!

So, yep. Enjoy!

I spend more on apples when they’re cheap…

Hi!

I have decided. I have a love-hate relationship with Apple Season.

(By that, I do mean the fruit. Not the technology. In case you were wondering.)

You see, I really, really like apples as a snack food. But they are expensive when they’re out of season. So, I often don’t get them then.

But it’s now apple season, and has been apple season for a few months. And I’ve been spending so much on apples. And then, there are good deals on really good apples. So, even if I have some at home, I have trouble resisting the allure of the Good Deal, so I get more.

All that to say… I spend a lot more on apples when they’re inexpensive.

Hooray for saving money…?

Anyway. Have a lovely Saturday!
