Post your random thoughts.

Can we tone down the hate on performers you don't like?

T Para: nah.

Adele is an overrated, bloated Brit that for inexplicable reasons many love. Even though her voice sounds like someone fucking a cat.

And Meghan Trainor is a fat cow trying to create "anthems", but instead creating songs and videos more suited to being Target commercials.

Now I find myself wishing again that I could have the CTU's office phone ring for a ringtone. ^_^;;

Trying to find Hetalia comments on this vid. Failing. Sad.

Which is a cooler song: Carmina Burana or Preliator?

Funny, I do have one as my message notification.

So apparently hemingwayapp.com is some sort of writing style checker.

My opinion is "well fuck you too"

Are you always that angry when someone points out that you suck? :P

Next door neighbor says hi. And I'm not even going to tell you what I ran through that site, aside from the fact that it's a fairly recent bit of my writing. And no, I didn't take any extra courses in English, I don't have a certificate, and there was this one time at the university when I took an English test blitzed like London... and passed. Barely, sure, but I came to the class straight from the pub, after having four beers, and made it.

No, I'm not CIA either.

mine's worse!◊

That bastard can take our adverbs only over dead bodies!

There's one more thing about the site: it confuses "was" with verbed adjectives like, for example, "confused" for passive voice. But if your sentence gets marked in red, seriously rethink it.

I am convinced that site exists to harvest people's writing

Well it can enjoy all the porn I just dumped into it for the laughs on analysis.

(It got pretty good scores too, going down to 2 to 4, when I went for the simpler things. Yeah that's better than, say, a couple chapters of Reaper Man.)

Wow, it's insisting you dumb down? Uncool.

Apparently Hemingway's prose is rated "okay" by the website

A little off topic, but there's a funny story about F Scott Fitzgerald nervously showing Hemingway his dick.

I just found out about this. Even the severely dark and war-torn world of Westeros can have soothingly beautiful music. :) (Though it's still not as dark and edgy as Warhammer 40,000 )

Yeah basically it wants more of a list of actions rather than dwelling on the moment of feeling or descriptions or whatnot.

Hah.

Watdafuq, that story just made me ship Hemingway and Fitzgerald.

But that is to be expected of me, a person who would ship historical characters such as Frederick the Great and Voltaire, or Schiller and Goethe.

Yes, Ramin Djawadi's score for the series is really impressive.

I'm listening to Witcher 3 soundtrack these days, particularly the combat themes (hilariously enough, there's a lot of Lyrical Dissonance going on there, for example "...Steel for Humans" is a Bulgarian wedding song).

Considering how vampires can have some really stupid weaknesses, I was hoping to have an episode of a comedy show I hope to make be a Deconstructive Parody of vampires, making them look so weak and buffoonish.

I like this one tumblr post that pointed out if vampires couldn't be seen in mirrors, surely that included hand sensors in soap dispensers and sinks too? And, also apparently coconut milk makes an excellent substitute for blood, so possibly Caribbean vampires survive off of coconuts and not blood.

Coconuts?

I was thiking about the Monaco chicane that comes after the tunnel. I know that it must be taken slowly because two people have eneded up in the harbor and a third died due to a mistake. An F1 car coming out of the Monaco tunnel doesn't have much time or distance to go from roughly 185mph to less than 40mph
