Yeah. Those keys on the piano are E and F. You can see those notes in the sheet music for the title track. Those long rows of notes are a bunch of E's and F's.

If you hit the play button in the bottom left corner, you can hear a computer-generated version of the song. Real version here.

I started learning a little about music theory. I've been interested for a while, but always thought I wouldn't be able to understand it. But it's doable, a little at a time.

And I've been going outside more. I spend too much time in front of the computer. It's nice to have fresh air and read, listen to music, or just take in the surroundings.

Apparently they taste a little like pineapple. I found some white strawberries at the store a few months ago. They might have been the pineberries mentioned in the article, which are a cross between the white Chilean strawberries and another kind.

They're white with a pink tinge. They tasted kind of like how a strawberry smells, and a little like pineapple. A little sweet, not very acidic. Kind of like lychee.

And the newer threads (from the last 1-2 years) often just aren't that helpful. Lots of people who don't know what they're talking about, or comment just to say they have the same problem.

I can usually get a helpful answer by trying a couple search engines or just fighting with Google, but it takes longer than it should sometimes.

Good posture also helps you breathe better, which can help you feel more energized and concentrate better. Your diaphragm doesn't work right when you sit hunched over, so your breath gets more shallow.

If you ever need to talk a lot for work or some other reason, good posture is essential so your voice sounds good and doesn't get tired too easily.

And it helps strengthen your core, which is good for balance and other things.

I know it's not an ideal picture, but I still liked looking at it :)

They must be something to see on a sunny day.

Are these the birds in the picture? I think I see the yellow on the wings, but not the red face. Striking little guys!

I like his earlier stuff when I'm in the mood for psychological horror. Carrie, The Shining, Cujo, Pet Sematary, The Green Mile.

The Dark Tower wasn't for me. I agree with the other person who thought it was a slog.

Lisey's Story is OK. I like the idea of it, but it's taking me a while to finish it.

The Mr. Mercedes trilogy is a nice, fluffy read if you like detective stories.

Pünktchen is a very cute and fitting name.

Und doch verbleibt er die flauschige Zicke die ich immer lieben werde.

I love this sentence and your translation "sir floofs-a-lot." He looks too cute to be a jerk, but I guess appearances can be deceiving :)

And wealthy or well-connected. If you're poor, you don't necessarily have much of a chance.

The link is a long read, but interesting. The story of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was executed in Texas in 2004 for supposedly setting a fire that killed his three kids.

In December, 2004, questions about the scientific evidence in the Willingham case began to surface. Maurice Possley and Steve Mills, of the Chicago Tribune, had published an investigative series on flaws in forensic science; upon learning of Hurst’s report, Possley and Mills asked three fire experts, including John Lentini, to examine the original investigation. The experts concurred with Hurst’s report. Nearly two years later, the Innocence Project commissioned Lentini and three other top fire investigators to conduct an independent review of the arson evidence in the Willingham case. The panel concluded that “each and every one” of the indicators of arson had been “scientifically proven to be invalid.”

OK, we need a name for this new (bread) roll. Suggestions?

Seed thingy-wingy.*

Little crunchy-munchy.*

Why not just "whole grain roll"?

*These are made-up words that are almost impossible to translate. They're supposed to sound ridiculous. I went with the first thing that came to mind.
