The Magnus Archives:First impression

First episode, there's ONE plot point in the first few sentences that really confused me..

If the archive is in disarray and the material improperly preserved, shouldn't putting it into order be the first priority, not SLOWLY DIGITISING the material for “ease of use”?

Alternatively,

Why couldn’t they be listening through tapes that already existed, and then read the reports that aren’t on tapes as they’re putting it into order?

As in, Why make it a plot point that it’s in disarray, only to make the story focus be on their digitising effors?

It’s so backwards. Digitalising would be the absolute final step lol.

Anyway, the archive work is obviously not the focus of the story, it’s just a vehicle for the horror stories. I just wanted to say that this Sims guy makes no sense as an “archivist” if his biggest concern is solving cold cases or whatever the point of the overarching stories are.

Only seen ep. 1 so far though, so I guess it might be explained later? Anyway, looking forward to more horror stories

Abba Returns!!

Dad and I watched the livestream yesterday,. and omg they didn’t dissapoint. Especially Don’t shut me down is fantastic!

It perfectly describes their new project, how they’re bewildering to see again but they’re FINALLY here and please don’t ever shut them down! 

Now You See Another Me I've Been Reloaded, Yea-ah I'm Fired Up, Don't Shut Me Down I'm Like A Dream Within A Dream That's Been Decoded I'm Fired Up, I'm Hot, Don't Shut Me Down

I'm Not The One You Knew I'm Now And Then Combined And I'm Asking You To Have An Open Mind  I'm Not The Same This Time Around I'm Fired Up, Don't Shut Me Down

ABBA’s sound is back! Anni-Frid (Frida) sounds almost exactly the same as she did 40 years ago, with a mature lower register to draw on as well.

I hope they release the full music videos after their first virtual “tour” in London!!

It’s still their performances, just enhanced and preserved forever!

Richard Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier (1911)

Don’t you just love when occasionally women get to play men? In Strauss The Rose kavalier, the roles of the lovers are always intended to be portrayed by two ladies.

“Der Rosenkavalier is notable for its showcasing of the female voice, as its protagonists (light lyric soprano Sophie, mezzo-soprano Octavian, and the mature dramatic soprano Marschallin) are written to be portrayed by women, who share several duets as well as a trio at the opera's emotional climax. “

Making it Some gals being pals: the Strauss opera ;)

Here’s the full performance as directed by Herbert Von Karajan in 1962: https://youtu.be/I8X64WJq6qc

Suddenly, is that the lady’s husband?!

Plenty of romance

Culminating in a tragic love triangle between the Princess, her young lover and the wealthy merchant daughter Sophie.

My dad just asked me if we're Catholics. In Sweden.

So I had to explain that when Sweden first became Christian after the Viking age (around year 1000) all that really existed was the Roman-catholic church, and that Martin Luther's protests against the Catholic church during the 1500s resulted in Protestantism splitting off from Catholicism

Then swedish king Gustav Vasa converted Sweden to Protestantism, mostly because it gave him full control over his kingdom and its church.

So we were Catholic for about 500 years but have been Protestant ever since Gustav Vasa(Lutheran).

Apparently he had seen Monty Python's The meaning life recently,and it made him confused for some reason.

... he's been drinking akvavit but I'm never gonna let him live this down.

Edit:

I ASKED HIM AGAIN AND HE SAID CATHOLIC ahaHAHAHAH

Arlanda (our main international airport) does welcome people with a wall of greetings, one of them being something about "welcome to the home of ABBA" I think.

And before the opening of the ABBA museum they displayed some of the objects at the airport!!

Abba returns to Arlanda Airport

So it's almost true :D

@wynne-keyler

Ma'am, is it true y'all have like an airport over there that's like dedicated to Abba?

Prince of Egypt-

Broadway Musical 2020

"Deliver us"

I HAD NO IDEA THIS HAPPENED

THE REVISIONS TO THE SCORE ARE

aMAZING

Finally a recording with some high quality professional singing. The sound mixing could use some work but I don't even care

It sounds epic as is

And the women's voices blend so well in When you believe!

"When you Believe"

[wynne-keyler]

Woah. Honestly kinda agree, except for higher education.

Meat is not the enemy!

Meat is life giving. Over 50% of all Indian women have an iron deficiency, and their children grow stunted, it's not a coincidence that they're a largely vegetarian culture!

You ever find your old Tumblr posts and wonder what bender your depression was on that day?

I'm catty as hell

vampire stuff

vampires getting super invested in nutrition so they know how to take care of their humans, and then being horrified at what humans will actually consume:

three-day-old coffee

twenty piece chicken nuggets

one (1) granola bar as a meal

their own fingernails

humans lying about what they eat:

“How do pop rocks even work?” “They’re made of tiny larvae that explode when they come into contact with human saliva.” “… That can’t be real.”

the constant exasperated repitions of “human stuff” or “vampire stuff” whenever they don’t understand each other

humans dabbing garlic on their pulse points when they’re pissed

“C’mon, I’m starving, why are you like this?” “Are you sorry?” “Yes” “What’s the magic word, Clarence?” “Please?”

vampires that forget humans are delicate and accidentally hurt them

humans that act like wounded dogs over minor injuries just to watch vampires fall over themselves apologizing

vampires exaggerating time for comedic effect:

“I haven’t heard this song in forty years” “This came out in 2004″ “It’s been forty years. I have aged.” “You literally have not.”

“When was the last time you did any laundry?” “1965″ “Fuck you.”

telling vampires to “go back to your coffin” when they’re grumpy

humans constantly asking “how did they do this in your day?” about every single daily task

vampires who hoard tools and appliances from the time period they most enjoyed

young vampires flipping off the sun and screaming at it about evolution

old vampires who pull their collars up and frown behind their sunglasses

erroneous threats based on abilities no vampire actually has:

“I’m gonna show up to your wedding as a swarm of bats and shit on the cake”

If Photoshop is acting weird, tools not working right and crashing: try deleting the Preference file.

Start Photoshop, and immediately before it's loaded press CTRL + Alt + Shift.

You will get a dialogue box asking if you want to delete the Preference file in your language, click OK, you won't delete Photoshop itself!

Photoshop will then start with a "clean slate" and make a new preference file.

This might fix a lot of weird issues that don't seem to have any solutions.
