It varies. I usually take warm showers when the weather is colder, but when the weather gets hot and humid (Like it does in the Summer in North Carolina.) I like to take cooler showers. I really only do cold showers for one reason only and that is to cool myself down after a nice long relaxing...

I love traveling too. I was tempted to add Travel Blogger to my honorable mentions list. Of course If I did a travel blog it would have an emphasis on Music and Architectural History as well as finding some of the best places for food and drink. Such as exploring the Musical Significance of...

Wes Anderson just won his first Oscar (Best Live Action Short Film) for The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.

I agree I also like Copper. It looks really beautiful when the metal is flamed under a gas flame it gives it a tremendous patina. I also like some of copper's alloys including Brass and Bronze. Copper also reminds me of dissecting old electronics and extracting copper wire and making huge wads...

Planet Fitness is proof that hypocrisy is alive and well in the 21st century.

1. Organbuilder: I have been fascinated by the sound and construction of Pipe Organs since I was a kid. It is actually a pretty big deal in places like The Netherlands, France and Germany. 2. Musicologist/Ethnomusicologist: I have always been the academic type and I love music (including World...

I do too, granted there are some things AI is okay to decent at, but Ads ain't one of them. It is like all they want to sell me is Placebos for things like Male Pattern Baldness and disguise it as Breath mints. Seriously Where is the FDA when you need them the most.

That is what I always disliked about living in the Upper Midwest. It was always extremely freezing in winter. I especially disliked it Sophomore year of High School when I had to wake up nearly at the crack of dawn and trudge through the snow, guck and sub-zero temperatures away from the warmth...

I was browsing my Facebook and I have noticed to my horror and dismay that almost every other post on my facebook is an AI-Fueled ad.

Love them. I don't mind the ones with laugh tracks or the studio audience laughing, but there are some good sitcoms that do not have these such as The Office (US Version), Arrested Development, or my all time favorite Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I typically just put on Talking Heads or Rush or even a podcast when I work out. When I am in the Sauna I like to put on some Yanni so I can relax a little bit more. I find the Yanni to be a good transition between my workout regiment, showering shaving and changing after I have used the...

The Dutch word for Potato also means Earth Apple it is "Aardappel". I know the French word for Sweet Potato is totally different in French. In French it is "Patate Douce." What is really bizarre and slightly related to The Legend of Zelda is the fact is the word Sweet Potato is an informal term...

Interesting factoid several famous composers and musicians had or have Synesthesia and or Chromosthesia such a Franz Liszt, Oliver Messiaen and even Sir Elton John. Personally I think it adds to their genius and allure.

I went to an Indoor waterpark/theme park today while on vacation in the Alabama Gulf Coast. It got me thinking what would certain parts of Hyrule possibly be akin to if it were a theme park. I always assumed Zora's Domain would be an awesome waterpark.

I only really use mods for when I play Kerbal Space Program. I used to go pretty mod crazy when I played Garry's Mod, I even switched my in-game protagonist from the stock Dr. Isaac Kleiner to Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but that was before Apple decided to throw a wrench...

I watched Klaus last night on Netflix. Rather funny but also pretty quirky slightly bittersweet with notes of nostalgia for traditional cel animation. It really feels like it should be part of the Disney microcosm, but strangely I am glad it stayed independent of the mouse. This movie is an...

Amen Brother, I remember when I first got Spotify for my MacBook I was like "Oh great there's ads and they are unskippable or unhideable this is an absolute outrage." I had a phase at one time where I was like, "Screw Spotify I am going to cheat and use YouTube with an adblocker I had downloaded...

I am currently binge watching Mrs. Brown's Boys on BritBox. I cannot believe I let this show slip past the cracks it is really good. It is best described as Mrs. Doubtfire meets Father Ted. I really love how it has an almost anything goes improvisational comedy vibe that you just do not get in...

My home Wi-Fi was being finicky early this morning had to power cycle the router which meant getting out of bed (Still wearing my pajamas) dashing downstairs to the living room, unplugging the router, plugging it back in, dashing back upstairs to my bedroom and hoping that my computer stays...

If I do use a treadmill it is at the Y and is only for like 0.62 miles and even then I cannot run on them. Excessive running puts a lot of stress on my joints so more than likely when I do cardio it is usually on the elliptical before moving to a treadmill, stride machine doing 40 reps, cooling...

I agree Duluth is quite spectacular. I remember driving Northeast to the Split Rock Lighthouse and just amazed how beautiful the shoreline of Lake Superior is. I am tempted to do a road trip from the Twin Cities to Thunder Bay possibly stopping in Duluth and Ely, Minnesota. Mostly because I like...

I was just wondering what everybody's favorite real life cities that you have traveled to so far? My answer is Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Toronto, San Diego, Paris and London.

Gothic, Gothic Revival, Art Deco, Baroque, Scandinavian Stave style, Islamic, Beaux Arts, Byzantine sometimes Mid-Century Modernism and Brutalism when it comes to non-residential styles. When it comes to Residential Styles I really love Tudor Revival, Colonial, Georgian, Craftsman, Prairie...

I am making Homemade Pasta Salad with chicken salami olives and fresh mozzarella. It is fairly hot and humid outside and I was craving pasta. Possibly going to serve it with some prosciutto and fig bruschetta.

Poulet à la Gaston Gérard. It is a Burgundian dish of chicken pan sautéed in butter and oil covered in a cheese white wine and Dijon mustard cream sauce topped with shredded cheese and breadcrumbs before broiled. I made it for Bastille Day. The sauce is insanely delicious it is like the best...

This happened last night when I was still on vacation in Toronto. I was sleeping in my hotel room at around 2:05 A.M. All the sudden I hear this loud sound coming from the hallway, little did I know that the fire alarm got tripped for some mysterious reason. To make matters worse it continued...

I hate when that happens. Internet providers can be so unforgivably finicky to deal with.

Gearing up for my first trip outside of the States after the pandemic. Headed to Toronto. It also has been ages since I last was in Canada.

I try to keep my amount of apps to a minimum. I reserve all my gaming for either my Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and MacBook. I really have only just two games on my iPhone, all other apps are either stock Apple apps, headphones pairing apps, Google maps, Facebook, streaming apps, Tripadvisor...

I think it was deliberate. Wes Anderson is known for making his stories and films feel more like stage productions rather than cinema. That explains the often intricate and eccentric set designs, props, character demeanor and music choices it is all because it reflects artistry rather than...

Since I haven't found a general Terrible Legend of Zelda joke/pun thread anywhere on this forums I decided to make my own. Here's some I have come up with. (Warning some of these are really bad.) So I heard there was a riot at the Yiga Clan Preschool, I guess it was not a good idea to play...

Yeah that is kind of the very few things I do not like about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess were the boss subtitles a lot of them had that twilit cut and paste creature type scheme, Not to mention I am pretty sure Argorok is not actually a dragon like they say it is in game. In actuality...

I recently watched Asteroid City in the cinema. I thought it was absolutely tremendous. Visually speaking it was quite impressive I was almost convinced that Wes Anderson nearly actually filmed this movie on location in the Southwestern States rather than in Spain (Where the movie was actually...

Personally, I never much cared for boss subtitles I usually just fight them, kill them yoink my Heart Container wash rinse repeat. The only exception is Tentalus from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I decided to create my own since he is arguably one of the most derpy looking bosses in the...

You do realize you still have to fling the ball across the gap, If I am being honest that is what got me, the maze was no sweat, but flinging the ball across the gap that is what caused me to do it over like 25 times before it finally went in the hole. I swear I got so tetchy once I nearly...

I was on Reddit just randomly browsing and out of nowhere I keep on seeing this one recruitment ad for the Navy. Usually I do not pay attention to any of the ads on reddit (Since they are all just random nonsense.) Although this one featured a pulsating bunch of bananas and pulsating camo in the...

The Mayam Agana Shrine. It honestly took me nearly 25 attempts to get that ball through the maze and fling the ball so it clears the gap and lands on the incline and goes into the hole. Honestly Nintendo we get it motion controls really futuristic, but please Nintendo when you combine motion...

I love The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess' soundtrack, I especially loved the music for The Lakebed Temple, but the one that I really loved was the Hidden Village theme. It sounded like a vintage western film from the 1960s. My only complaint is the music from the temple of time is reused...

I got my pre-ordered copy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from GameStop today. I got one of the last plaques from the particular store I ordered it through, best of all the price of the game warranty shifted so I got $2.13 back. My only complaint is that I kind of wish the plaque...

I was sitting out on the deck all the sudden I had a hummingbird hover over me. I love when that happens for the first time in the season. They always seem to herald that spring is in full swing or summer is almost here.

First and foremost the amount of pages that this thread has reached is 2112 pages (That's Awesome, especially since I am a Rush fan.) Secondly I just watched the coronation of HM King Charles III on BritBox. It got me thinking I wonder what a Hylian Coronation would look like, where would it...

Longest I traveled by aircraft was from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (That flight took nearly 11 hours from when I took off from France to when I landed back in the States in Texas.) I was extremely jet-lagged and also pretty uncomfortable being...

No, but I do have certain music I listen to before bed. Usually I just put on some Yanni or Enya. I find instrumental New Age music to be just the perfect soundtrack before bed.

There was a hilarious incident where the European Space Agency was set to launch an unmanned spacecraft to Ganymede, during the livestream out of nowhere a sloth decides to photobomb the launch livestream. I swear it was the one of the funniest and cutest things ever.

My favorite movies are directed by Wes Anderson. I especially love his more recent works such as: The Grand Budapest Hotel, The French Dispatch and Fantastic Mr. Fox, but his works in the mid-late '90s (Bottle Rocket and Rushmore are also pretty enjoyable.)

You probably would of not guessed I like New Age music from the '80s and '90s. I especially love artists such as Enya and Yanni. I typically listen to it before bed or even when I am trying to sleep.

I picked mine as both as a salute to the Kingdom of Hyrule and to the historic Scandinavian civilization that I am fascinated with. I was originally thinking about adding the numeral 2112 because I am a huge Rush fan, (2112 Is a reference to their epic album from 1976.) but instead I decided to...

I have a hunch why the Japanese call a buffet after historic Scandinavians. It has something to do with the word Smorgasbord, The word "Smorgasbord comes from Swedish literally translated as "buttered bread table." The Vikings settled in what is now modern-day Sweden as well as places such as...
