Want some haggis with that ...?
In case you're wondering ... I did, indeed, try the national dish of Scotland: haggis. It was a wee try, but a try, nonetheless.
And, no, it's not my new favorite dish.
Haggis comes in different forms. Essentially, it's the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep (or other animal), minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal and seasoned with onion, cayenne pepper, and other spices.
And in case that's not unappetizing enough for you, the mixture is packed into a sheep's stomach and boiled.
We didn't go to a single eatery - roadside cafes included - where a person couldn't get bite of haggis.
In my opinion, the other national Scottish delicacy - Scotch whisky - is much easier to swallow.

Many things had made sense now that he had known the facts and reasons behind those –the ubiquitous features of Malfoy men, or the fact that Malfoys only had sons due to paternal inheritance that was predominant in wizards with Veela ancestry.

"Baby shark"
Into the final week in the #FearOfMu21c project, crowdsourcing the greatest singles of the 21st century. Here’s an index post. And here's one with as many nominations (1) as the entire Ed Sheeran catalogue.
Baby shark - Pinkfong
Throughout this list, I've commented on the techniques of song writing. A good pop song is catchy and memorable and has hooks. A great pop song will use its limited time to go somewhere unexpected. A good song will convey its message; a great song will leave us in no doubt about its meaning. A good song will want to be heard; a great song demands to be heard again.
"Baby shark" is a great song.
Tumblr media
"Baby shark" grew out of a campfire song, popular amongst the young people of Korea. The original writers have been lost to time, we do know that versions of the song were around in the late 20th century. Alemuel had a decent hit in 2007 with "Kleiner Hai", a German-language tale of a small shark that grew up and ate a diver. Other translations were made and released in the following years.
Back in Seoul, SmartStudy was founded in 2010. The media company released classic nursery and playground songs from their culture, crafts, puppet videos, and a collection of animations for children. With a pink fox mascot, the Pinkfong brand of animations and phone apps was successful in south-east Asia.
Tumblr media
And then the Pinkfong company recorded "Baby Shark". It was successful in the original version, and a "dance version" of the video turned into a phenomenal success, the original clip has been seen an average of one-and-a-half times by every person on the planet.
"Baby shark" is remarkable in many other ways. For instance, it uses a tremendously restricted vocabulary. Eighteen words would be an unremarkable clause in a Lorde song, or a short album title for Fiona Apple. "Baby shark" uses precisely 18 words. Total. Across the entire song, just 18 words.
The song is written in G-major, with a change to C-major for the final stanza - two of the most common musical keys in pop music. To sing "Baby shark", you need a range of just half an octave, so even the worst voice can sing it reasonably (compare with other well-known tunes with minimal range: "Too many broken hearts", "G'd save the queen").
Tumblr media
Lyrically, the song tells a story and circles back upon itself: it introduces the participants, encourages us care about them, takes them on a literal journey, and resolves it, imploring us to set out again.
Whether we like it or not, "Baby shark" has become an absolute staple of the pop charts. It's in the top 60 most-streamed music tracks almost every week of the year, and has gone from utter obscurity to something everyone knows.
"Baby shark" is the biggest cultural moment of the past ten years, and fully deserving a nomination for the century's Best 50 Songs. (But just the one.)

Sometimes random words pop up in my brain. Today's word is 'ubiquitous'. My brain just keeps repeating it over and over. I don't know why this happens. I don't know why I'm posting this.

“This specific progression is known as the doo-wop chord progression because it was so ubiquitous in pop music during the 1950s and early 1960s.”

Ubiquitous
Thing I’d question
Lead to regression
Topics I can’t mention
Value my discretion
Calculating the manipulation
Requires a full investigation
But it’ll forever fire my affection
Even if I’m just one in your collection

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation
because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

CLOUD COMPUTING was the main concept for web 2.0, for the last two decades.
UBIQUITOUS, OMNIPRESENCE is the main concept for this new world of artificial intelligence everywhere.
