Hello, my dearest NORS family and friends! I'm so excited to present you with the 16th edition of our beloved Baroness' Bulletin. We have a lot to cover today, from Runescape updates to clan news and everything in between. So buckle up, darlings, because we're about to dive right into it!

In Runescape News:

RS3 has given Relleka a fabulous facelift! The area now boasts more vibrant plant life and snowier landscapes that truly capture its enchanting essence. Plus, the lighthouse looks even more mysterious surrounded by those stunning additional basalt rocks.

Clan members rejoice - there's now an in-game calendar for all your socializing needs! Keep track of community events, holiday celebrations, and connect with fellow players like never before.

For all you fashion-forward adventurers out there: Angelscapes has released new spirit shield keychains like the one owned by Big Daddy Count Gaius himself!

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/rellekka-graphical--in-game-calendar-update---this-week-in-runescape 

This week also brings us two intriguing game modes: high contrast mode (perfect for artistic videos) and entity highlight mode. Experiment away!

And don't forget – double XP runs from May 17th-27th. Let's celebrate our achievements together despite the grindfest!

In Some Distant Memory News:

Our 'Just A Story' music video is coming along beautifully – currently at the 3:45 mark showcasing mine and Charlie's powerful vocals leading up to Jasper’s heartfelt performance.

https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1025559 

Three fantastic articles discussing "Just A Story" were published recently by New Edge Times, Muzic Times & American 21 Digital—check them out via the press section hyperlink to Linktree on my SpaceHey profile.

Finally, “My Morning Sun” is now in circulation on internet radio by polled popular demand.

Now, let's move on to our special feature: the life of an independent content creator. 

Independent media creators - rockstars included - lead lives of incredible discipline and dedication when they consistently pour their hearts into their art. To achieve creative harmony, it's essential to strike a balance between focused work and well-deserved breaks filled with mental stimulation, connection with the world around us, exercise, and self-care.

Our mental and physical health go hand-in-hand in nurturing our focus, stability, stamina – all vital ingredients for artistic success! As we journey towards true happiness alongside our beloveds, remember that staying strong is crucial not only for ourselves but also for those who eagerly await our creations.

This path of joyous creativity is coveted by many but reserved only for those who radiate equivalent positivity.

Now let's dive into today's recommendations:

•   Song of the Day: How about "Ulterior Motives (Everyone Knows That)" by Christopher and Philip St. Booth? This tune is like a wild ride through an electric storm, isn't it? The pulsating rhythm, those sizzling synths, and that unmistakable vocal delivery – it’s all so deliciously 80s!

•   Album of the Day: Let's go with The Cure’s "Faith". It’s moody, it’s atmospheric—it’s everything we need for this day.

•   Movie of the Day: "Wall Street". What a film! Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko is simply iconic with his mantra 'Greed is good.' It perfectly captures the excesses of the late '80s financial world while serving up some serious style inspiration. I mean who can forget those power suits? But beneath all that glitz lies a cautionary tale about ambition gone awry which still resonates today.

•   Book of the Day: To feed our minds with some punk rock history, how about "Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk" by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain?

On this day in 80s (May 13), Stevie Wonder brought us his hit single “Part-Time Lover.” A catchy tune that topped charts globally - now isn't that something to groove on?

As for my current thoughts on the state of our world? Well, I believe we all have a role to play in making it better—let's support each other and spread love whenever possible.

There you have it, lovelies! Enjoy exploring all these updates and remember to keep pushing boundaries together—in life, music, and beyond. Sending you all big hugs and kisses!

In harmony with celestial guidance, today we wield creative might—shaping destinies through artful collaboration and personal empowerment.

In Some Distant Memory News:

Our "Just A Story" visual epic sails past markers unforeseen—we share progress proud as parents watching their child take center stage. Each update sings promise—a beacon guiding NORS and Some Distant Memory toward uncharted charts!

https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1025559 

We pause in solemn remembrance—the strings Ian Curtis plucked still resonate deeply within music's heart...

In the shadowed halls of post-punk lore stands an enigmatic figure whose voice continues to echo through the ages—a bard draped in proto-gothic threads, weaving songs that haunt us still. Ian Curtis, Joy Division's heart-wrenchingly brilliant frontman, danced on the edge of darkness with a pen mightier than any sword. His lyrics? A tapestry rich with emotional resonance and tales spun from morbid curiosities—each word heavier than lead yet buoyant enough to transcend genre itself.

Yet despite his firm grip on fame and adoration, Curtis grappled with demons that not even his bandmates could exorcise fully—a struggle poignantly chronicled by Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner in their soul-baring memoirs. He was more than just a singer; he had an almost supernatural insight into production when communicating with Martin Hannett. Though initially focusing solely on vocals (before strumming strings under Bernard’s tutelage), it was Curtis who sifted through sonic jams for those perfect hues to color his lyrical masterpieces.

And oh! What would Joy Division be without its throbbing pulse—the rhythm section where Peter Hook's bass lines slithered through shadows as much as they later danced in New Order’s light? Or Steve Morris' beats—an uncanny human metronome setting a skeletal disco tempo? And let’s not forget Bernard Sumner—whose hypnotic guitar riffs and icy synths carved out caverns of sound for listeners to lose themselves within.

Together they crafted something extraordinary: music that bridged punk rock's raw rebellion and gothic rock’s brooding depths—all while battling personal tempests offstage. This editorial shall honor them all but especially Ian Curtis—the punk rocker spirit personified—who left us far too soon yet gave us eternities within each note sung.

Now turn up those speakers—it’s time for today’s selections! 

The song spinning on repeat will be “How to Do It” by Dezign, 

This track is a hidden gem that pulses with an infectious beat—a true dance floor anthem waiting to be rediscovered. Dezign crafts a rhythm that grabs you by the soul and doesn't let go until you're moving in sync with its electric energy. It's a sonic embrace that I'd wrap around us as we lose ourselves in music and each other.

while “A Product of...Participation” by  Thompson Twins echoes throughout halls both virtual and visceral.

This album swirls around us like a vibrant tapestry woven from threads of innovative soundscapes. Its experimental heart beats in tandem with ours as we explore every facet of creativity. Each track is an invitation for participation—let it inspire our next artistic adventure!

Cinema screens flicker alive with “Flight of the Navigator”, transporting souls across celluloid dreams—

A tale sprinkled with stardust, it reminds us how imagination can transcend time itself—and isn't that just what we do when we create together? Let’s navigate through dreams hand-in-hand, always reaching for stars yet unseen.

and don't forget about “Thinking With a Pencil” by Henning Nelms, pages fluttering whispers from decades dusted by neon glow.

Henning Nelms offers more than mere words on paper; he presents a manifesto for visual thinkers everywhere! With pencil poised, he guides readers through realms where ideas take shape before our very eyes—a perfect companion for those moments when inspiration strikes fiercely within both our minds.

Let history replay its tunes—"On This Day in the 80s (May 21)" brings back beats long lost yet never truly gone.

We find ourselves amidst iconic releases and events etched into history’s vinyl grooves. Whether it was Madonna climbing charts or Pac-Man chomping his way into gaming glory—the '80s never ceased gifting us memories wrapped in cassette tapes and arcade dreams!

Finally, my reflections upon this world we navigate—a canvas stretched taut awaiting brushstrokes bold enough to redefine it anew...

Stay tuned radiant rebels—for there is much more melody yet unwritten...

With love,

Nora Lumwood 💜✨

And now... drum roll ...for breaking news to electrify your senses! 🎸💥

Nora’s Take on Today

Hello, my fabulous NORS family and all you glittering stars out there! It's your benevolent Baroness Nora Lumwood here, ready to dive into a kaleidoscope of RuneScape realms and clan chronicles.

In RuneScape News:

Adventurers brace yourselves! Anachronia has unveiled its latest challenge—a fourth Undead Matriarch for those necromancers among us yearning for thrilling conquests. With her own special drops plus the usual loot from her sisters-in-arms, she’s inviting you to dance the deadly waltz. And whispers abound... could a sibling be awaiting in a Daggonoth Rex? Intrigue unfurls its wings! https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/osseous-launch---this-week-in-runescape 

June blooms with color as RS3 invites us on a rainbow revelry—an NPC clan parade that'll make Varrock vibrate with vibrant life! Lend them your grace and get showered in rewards including recolorable shark plushies (oh la la!), flower crowns fit for midsummer dreamers, titles that tell tales without words, and expressive emotes to wear your pride like never before. https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/pride-events--ultra-graphics---this-week-in-runescape 

But wait—there’s more digging deep into Daemonheim's fresh facelift alongside archaeology upgrades beckoning treasure seekers anew. Beyond ultra graphics are here too; scorpions flaunt their new hues because who doesn't love variety? https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/new-archaeology-dig-site--daemonheim 

Let’s not forget OSRS joining the Pride festivities—with Sir Kit Breaker leading quests for capes and tees that’ll have rainbows trailing in your wake! https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/pride-2024?oldschool=1#_ga=2.28996476.1797095338.1717692827-719554118.1717262440 

And if fashion is your passion—the merch store awaits with IRL tees crowned by party hats radiating every shade under the sun—all while supporting causes close to our hearts. 

In Clan News:

Strength grows within NORS as we craft quizzes designed to enlighten paths towards higher ranks—and perhaps spark lively banter on our forums where clansfolk converge across realms virtual. https://linktr.ee/NorsInitiation 

 Mighty King Dave paints days ahead with events vibrant as his palette; keep an eye peeled on NNN and SpaceHey where calendars shall soon adorn walls digital!

A glitch turned giggle-worthy spectacle: miniature familiars grow larger than life itself when shadowing spirit scorpions—it must be seen to be believed!

Our very own Big Daddy Chief Count Gaius summons Bubbles at his side while fishing shores serene; meanwhile, I’ve been honing my woodcutting prowess both here and yonder in Old School lands—maple trees beware!

Some Distant Memory News:

The spotlight calls! Cast votes dear listeners—for which tune from "Reflections" should bask next beneath journalistic glow? “Just A Story,” “Raised In The Shades,” or “Beauty Untouched”? Or whisper another name into the void... https://strawpoll.com/PKgle6GMJZp 

As we weave scenes sultry for “Just A Story”’s video voyage—we aim high toward Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival’s silver screens come November. https://filmfreeway.com/JustAStory099 

We hope you’ll delight in a brief insight into our musical journey with an editorial on Vaporwave and Future Funk:

🎶 Cue the Synthwave Intro 🎶

Darlings of Some Distant Memory,

As we ride the sonic waves from our humble beginnings—armed with nothing but keyboards and an unquenchable thirst for sound—we've evolved in harmony with our influences. Our journey has been a crescendo from no wave obscurities to post-punk anthems, dark wave echoes to synthpop beats—all culminating in what you know us for today: an avant-garde tapestry woven with threads from every corner of the musical universe.

But wait—there's more! As we delve into "Reflections," prepare yourselves for an odyssey infused with Vaporwave vibes and Future Funk grooves. Imagine this: retro stylings clashing against modern sensibilities, creating ripples through time itself!

Vaporwave isn't just about looping tunes—it's an art form where each slowed-down beat tells its own story. And when those beats meet fresh drums or unexpected instrumentals? Magic happens. Picture artists like Saint Pepsi crafting new worlds within their tracks while Macross 82-89 paints audio landscapes so vivid they become part of your soul soundtrack.

And let’s not forget about Future Funk—the audacious child born out of Japanese City Pop grooves meeting Italo Disco under disco balls spinning faster than planets around stars! We're talking funk-drenched melodies that'll have even elevator Muzak nodding along in approval.

Our playlists are ever-expanding galaxies filled with these cosmic jams—they fuel our travels through both space-time AND music genres. This relentless pursuit introduces us to sounds unknown yet strangely familiar—a paradoxical dance between past and present.

In true S.D.M style (that’s Some Distant Memory for those not yet initiated), “Just A Story” brings together all these elements—with none other than Mac Tonight crooning alongside us like a celestial body orbiting our creative sphere!

Keep dreaming in neon.

And now—to stoke fires bright within:

Song of the Day:

”Dreamcast" by Blank Banshee is a digital dreamscape that teleports us straight into an ethereal realm where pixels and pulses intertwine in an ecstatic dance. It’s as if Blank Banshee has channeled his post-punk bassist spirit into every beat—melding it with Vaporwave vibes to create something truly transcendental. Each note cascades like neon rain in a cybernetic forest; can't you just feel it? It's music that wraps around us—a cocoon of retro-futuristic bliss!

And let me say, I adore how he transformed from plucking those deep strings to programming these lush textures—it’s like watching a butterfly emerge with wings made of pure sound!

Album of the Day:

For today, let's immerse ourselves in "Disintegration" by The Cure. Each track is a layer within this masterpiece—a perfect blend for our intertwined souls ready to lose themselves in its deep, moody embrace.

Movie of the Day:

“Clash of the Titans” (1981) is nothing short of mythological magnificence brought to life by Ray Harryhausen's wizardry. His stop-motion creatures leap from legend to screen with such charm—they're practically ready for their own rock band tour! Perseus' epic quest against gods and monsters captivates like a timeless ballad; each frame is steeped in fantasy much like our very own Gielinor epics.

The Kraken itself could be one beastly bass player—with its tentacles strumming seismic rumbles across ocean floors. And who could forget Pegasus? That winged wonder soaring higher than any guitar solo we've ever shredded!

Book of the Day:

Let’s turn pages filled with magic and wonder—"Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman. Though not from the 80s, it mirrors our adventures through unseen worlds beneath London streets—as if echoing our own escapades through Gielinor’s hidden realms.

On This Day in 80s' (June 6):

Ah, let's rewind time! On June 6th back then Madonna was enchanting ears everywhere with her album “True Blue.” Just as she revolutionized pop culture, so do we strive to leave indelible marks upon music history!

Nora's Take On Today: Our world spins fast yet hope remains eternal—in music we find unity amidst chaos divine.

Stay tuned darlings—for melodies await discovery just beyond horizon's kiss...

With basslines full of love,

Nora Lumwood - Your Bass-Bearing Beacon & Sonic Sculptress 💖

In times when life unravels its complexities around you, remember that steadfastness in self-expression and commitment to craft will guide you back to equilibrium. Embrace daily endeavors wholeheartedly while standing firm against external pressures that seek to mask true intentions.

In Some Distant Memory News:

The tapestry that is “Just A Story” unfolds steadily before us—with each frame laced together by beats both familiar and fresh—we stand tantalizingly close to unveiling our visual symphony unto the world. We are officially almost half way through in time and possibly more with consideration to re-occurring clips.  https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1025559 

Gratitude rains down upon AMW's pitch-perfect efforts leading esteemed scribes from Sun Bulletin, Wokechimp, Tempo Stubs—to shower part one of Reflections album with words woven beautifully—as seen via press links adorning my Spacehey profile aura. https://linktr.ee/Jasialb 

Please indulge heartily in this special edition focusing on NORS' rich history interlaced deeply within RuneScape clans—an epic saga penned lovingly below...

Flashback: Summer 2008—a time when Gielinor was just finding its groove. Clan chats emerged like secret whispers across the land; Clan Wars erupted (all in good fun!), and oh—the Grand Exchange! Our very own bustling bazaar where fortunes are made amidst friendly barter.

Enter Count Gaius—the man who saw beyond mere gameplay. Before these social spices were sprinkled into Runescape’s cauldron of quests and conquests, his heart yearned for something more… Something grander than solo achievements—a community pulsating with purpose!

Fast forward: Years have passed like pages in an epic saga. Skills have been honed; legends have been carved—but what truly sparkles isn't just personal glory. Oh no! It's the vibrant tapestry we've created together—NORS standing tall as a beacon of unity amid a sea of solitary grinders.

Why chase after high scores when one can bask in real connections? Why seek fleeting fame when enduring friendships await within our guild’s embrace?

We’re not merely players—we’re pioneers crafting experiences richer than any treasure trove could offer. We're minigame maestros keeping joy alive through regular revelries before thalers steered many astray towards lonesome laboring without allure.

Jagex may ponder over pixels aplenty—but do they see what truly makes hearts throb faster? The laughter shared over voice chat; those impromptu dance-offs by Varrock square; every "gg" whispered after a battle well-fought—it’s this magic mosaic that beckons new souls into our fold!

From daybreak till dusk rests upon weary shoulders—Count Gaius has championed us first and foremost.

Our creed is simple yet profound:

Win battles not for spoils or renown,

But for heart—for love—that sacred ground!

For at NORS, every member finds their crown.

So let’s raise our goblets high—together bound

By bonds unbreakable—in loyalty found.

Join hands (and paws)—for united we sound

The call of kinship—as NORS astounds!

Let's crescendo to the rhythm of our hearts with today's curated collection!

🎵 Song of the Day: "Fade To Grey" by Visage – a synth-wave caress across the canvas of our minds. The pulsing beats are the heartbeat of an era draped in shades of monochrome mystery—yet it stirs within us a kaleidoscope of emotions. Steve Strange’s haunting vocals wrap around us like velvet ribbons, binding us together in a dance that transcends time. It’s nostalgia wrapped in futurism—a true masterpiece that echoes our own intertwined spirits.

💿 Album of the Day: "The Queen Is Dead" by The Smiths – Let Morrissey’s melancholic croon and Marr’s jangly guitar riffs transport us to a realm where words paint a thousand pictures.

🎥 Movie of the Day: "Electric Dreams" – A symphony disguised as cinema; this film intertwines love and technology with such whimsical wires! It tells us how even amidst circuits and screens, the human heart finds its beat.

📚 Book of the Day: "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison – An odyssey not for the faint-hearted but for those who dare to peer into darkness with eyes wide open. This tale grips you like my bass strings under fingers during an impassioned riff—it won't let go until you've felt every resonance of its dystopian despair.

And because time travel is just a turntable away...

'On This Day in 80s': June 19th gifted us with “Crackdown” on Sega Genesis—a pixelated promise that gaming would forever evolve (just like our love).

As for Nora’s current take on terra firma? 

Though shadows may fall upon this world stage—the spotlight always finds its way back. We are each other’s anchors amidst tempest tides. Together we'll navigate these waters—hand in hand—and emerge not just unscathed but triumphant! For true happiness lies within shared dreams sculpted into reality... And isn't that just divine?

Stay radiant until next bulletin,

💖 Your Playful Patroness & Bass-Strumming Beacon – Nora Lumwood 🎸

“The fields have been ruined by drought, but I am not worried. I am only worried by the fact that Chan students have no eyes. This summer there were over a hundred people, but not one of them understood the story about dogs having no enlightened nature. This is something one might worry about.” (Zen Lessons: The Art of Leadership, T. Cleary)

Today's divinations reveal a symphony of signals: Embrace change while staying true to yourself, manage abundance wisely without stifling creativity, choose courage over caution—and remember harmony emerges from accepting complexity within.

I also wrote a newsletter this past week if you want to check it out: https://spacehey.com/bulletin?id=4091092

Nora’s Take on Today

In Runescape news:

Hear ye, hear ye! The grand festival of Runefest shall make its triumphant return in March 2025 at the illustrious NEC in Birmingham. While Insomnia has taken its leave, fear not—for our spirits remain unshaken. All tickets previously purchased will grant access to this resplendent event, plus an extra thousand souls will have the chance to join us on this adventure. With music notes guiding our way, may fortune smile upon us as we strive for financial success and elevate "Some Distant Memory" into new realms of renown.

Old School Scape welcomes "While Guthix Sleeps," bringing forth echoes from RS3's hallowed past. Let's hope it heralds adventures anew rather than foreshadowing slumber or demise for dear Guthix once again. And look out! Tormented demons arrive brandishing their Burning claws—a fiery addition indeed!

secure.runescape.com/m=news/while-guthix-sleeps?oldschool=1#_ga=2.150463413.2044165630.1720799962-454939421.1720030755

In Clan News:

Join forces with EmmaxGuthix as she sets her sights on mastery over archery—the coveted skillcape awaits her grasp! Celebrate Emma’s journey alongside fellow clanmates; fireworks will light up our skies as testament to her dedication.

Remember those NORS Updates? Well, gear up because they're making a comeback post-hiatus—with all hosts returning—to chronicle Emma's triumphs and other storied moments within our thriving community after the music video’s revelation.

In Some Distant Memory News:

Our auditory odyssey "Raised In The Shades" has been lovingly lauded by Soundspiked, Classy Capital Mag, and Clare Louise of SMC Entertainment —each painting our sonic landscape with their own kaleidoscope of colors.

Thank you to them and AMW for being conduits of creativity; for translating our tunes into tales that traverse both time and territory. Their support isn't just heard—it's felt—in every fiber of this demi-goddess' divine being.

Enjoy the heartfelt words by those who truly listened.

Our creative odyssey continues unabated—we refine visuals like alchemists seeking perfection itself. From sketches brought to life via AI enchantments with and without added hues to phoenixes bathed meticulously in hex-coded colors—all culminating into mesmerizing scenes set against sonorous waves within "Just A Story."

🎸✨ The Heartbeat of Harmony - Our Clan Meetings ✨🎸:

Gather 'round, rockers and rollers of our grand clan collective! Let's rewind the tape to the very first beat—the clan meetings where our unity blossomed like an electric guitar riff cutting through silence. These gatherings have been rocking steady since day one, even when shadows loomed during the Jango War saga.

Picture this: Count Gaius orchestrating from afar via Skype serenades and Messenger melodies—oh, what a time! But let me tell you, no app could ever replicate the live concert vibe we create when we come together in person. It’s like comparing an acoustic demo to a full-blown stadium show!

Our meetings? They're more than just notes on a page; they’re epic jam sessions uniting us all—from OG members to fresh-faced allies tuning into our frequency. And sure, while clan chat keeps us connected faster than a drum solo fills up space between verses, nothing beats those real-time symphonies we compose at every meeting.

Think about it—we step away from our solo tours (I mean grinds) and dive headfirst into collaborative crescendos that lead us straight into events or citadel upkeep encores. Every session leaves us buzzing with satisfaction louder than overdrive pedals cranked up to eleven!

And hey, not everyone’s riding the forum wave or surfing onto our soon-to-be legendary website yet—but no frets needed! The magnetic pull of these meetups is undeniable; their allure outshines even the brightest stage lights.

So let's keep strumming strong chords of camaraderie at each gathering because together we amplify progress—it’s pure magic every single time!

🌟✨ The iJoy Projector - A Pocketful of Starlight on a Shoestring ✨🌟:

Roll up to the stage, tech enthusiasts and frugal shoppers alike! Let me shine a spotlight on something that might just tickle your fancy without emptying your coin purse. We're talking about an unassuming little gadget from 5 Below—the iJoy projector.

https://youtu.be/Epb17dVGkMM

• Album of the Day: "Rio" by Duran Duran – This masterpiece is a time capsule wrapped in sonic innovation; it bridges eras while still pulsating with modern energy. It whispers nostalgia yet screams future—a perfect harmony for us.

https://youtu.be/nbFAUFTMtLE

• Movie of the Day: "Vampire’s Kiss” – Nicolas Cage at his most delightfully unhinged! This film is a wild ride through vampiric delusions and corporate despair—a chaotic blend that somehow makes perfect sense when two bodies are laughing together on the couch.

https://youtu.be/aEtm69mLK6w

• Book of the Day: "On A Pale Horse” by Piers Anthony – Death personified has never been so enthralling or relatable! Imagine taking on such a powerful role—much like how we command the stage during our performances. The balance between mortal quandaries and ethereal duties is reminiscent of our dual life; one foot in reality, another in realms beyond imagination.

www.goodreads.com/book/show/76658.On_a_Pale_Horse

• On This Day in '80s Lore (July 12): The day when Malibu Barbie got her very own Corvette—it was pink, it was fabulous, and oh-so-‘80s! Just like us, she knows style is eternal but fun is always now.

As your benevolent baroness gazes upon today's world stage, I see shadows cast but also beams brilliant enough to pierce any darkness—an era where voices rise unitedly towards harmony amidst discordant climes—a symphony composed by humanity itself awaiting each individual note played passionately by souls like ours intertwined eternally...

With unwavering affection,
Your Baroness Lumwood 🌟💖🎶

Embrace balance amidst emotional ebbs and flows; pursue goals with fierce tenacity; confront what lurks within uncharted depths—and do so hand-in-hand with joy as both shield and guide!

Quote of the Day (From the Teachings of the Buddha) - Sharing Blessings - “By the blessings that have arisen from my practice, may my venerable preceptors, and teachers who have helped me, mother, father and relatives, King and queen, worldly powers, virtuous human beings, The supreme beings, Demons and high gods, the guardian deities of the world, celestial beings, The Lord of Death; people-friendly, indifferent, and hostile-May all beings be well! May the skillful deeds done by me, Bring you three-fold bliss. May this quickly bring you to the deathless. By this act of goodness and through the act of sharing, may I likewise attain the cutting-off of craving and clinging. Whatever faults I have until I attain liberation, May they quickly perish. Wherever I am born, may there be An upright mind, mindfulness and wisdom, austerity and vigor. May harmful influences not weaken my efforts. The Buddha is the unexcelled protector, the Dharma is the supreme protection, Peerless is ‘silent Buddha’ the Sangha is my true refuge. By the power of these supreme ones, may I rise above all ignorance.”

In embracing spontaneity beyond routine constraints while radiating confidence amid creative endeavors, we find strength to transform broken sequences into harmonious compositions.

Break away from worn paths by trusting life's inverted fortunes; ignite creativity within chaos as today heralds powerful self-expression devoid of discord.

Dice and Cards of the Day - Sun. July 21, 2024

In today’s symphony of self-discovery and partnership harmony, we're called to ignite our inner white candle—embracing heavenly guidance amidst life's shadows. As fortune spins its dynamic tune under Jupiter’s watchful eye, let us engage deeply in conversations that spark insight over mere information. The King of Wands leads us with wisdom; his fiery devotion inspires action from heartfelt passion. We are reminded: transformation is an intimate dance within ourselves before it can radiate outwardly. So as partners in this cosmic jam session called life, align your ambitions with diligence but accept setbacks as part of the crescendo leading to triumphs. Today you wield power; brilliance shines through you; drama holds no chord in your melody. Stand united with those who amplify your spirit and together—let's rock this world!

“Students and learned men of every kind and every age go as a rule in search of information, not insight. They make it a point of honor to have information about everything - It does not occur to them that information is merely a means towards insight and possesses little or no value in itself. When I see how much these well-informed people know, I sometimes say to myself ‘oh, how little such a one must have had to think about, since he has had so much time for reading!’” -Arthur Schopenhauer

Enjoy the exclusive SpaceHey debut of "Whispers of Destiny & The Enigmatic Silhouette" – the three-part chapter 17 of Divination’s Destiny that's more layered than a lasagna at a punk rock potluck! 💥🍝

Read the full-throttle feature here and now or wait for it to return in increments within Baroness’ Bulletin.

https://linktr.ee/NORSLore For everything so far and what is to be added

Divination’s Destiny: Quest for the Golden Plates, Chapter 17: Whispers of Destiny & The Enigmatic Silhouette 

Beneath the towering silhouette of the roller coaster—a guardian specter in twilight—the two seasoned souls express their thanks amid fits of coughs. Billy Zane brushes soot from his burnt pants while Leonardo DiCaprio salutes their serendipitous dodge from destiny’s inferno clutch using scavenged carnival bottles—improvised yet perfectly apt for such a celebration.

Side by side, Marlow steps forward with Chuck Junior; they clasp hands like pillars of strength. With a sharp whistle piercing through murmurs, Chuck commands attention for his beloved chibi mouse companion.

“Prepare thine ears!” Leo announces with an uncouth flourish as all gather round, kneeling to lend an ear to her soft-spoken resolve.

“In pursuit of wonder reborn from ashes,” she begins with conviction undeterred even as Billy interjects about ageless youth—a glance cast toward Leo who remains cheerfully unaware.

“And talent transcends time,” adds Nature’s Sentinel confidently placing a timber-clad hand upon Zane’s shoulder—an exchange met with smiles all around.

Marlow nods in solidarity amidst these interludes before continuing earnestly: “To transmute tragedy into life-affirming brew—we shall rise united like effervescent dreams unseen but ever-present.”

“With communal spirit alight,” Chuck Junior chimes in triumphantly, “we’ve conjured up mountains of hearty gluten-free spaghetti—a feast shared amongst kin!”

As if summoned by these rallying words, one brave girl unveils her Walkman armed with Kraftwerk’s The Mix’s pulsating beats which soon flood through speakers—Nature’s Sentinel serves up heaping plates wielding his verdant blade forged from fortitude whilst faces are painted orange by pasta sauce under layers of ash—all feasting heartily despite Leo commandeering more than his share!

Through teary eyes fixed on windows framing firefighters taming flames—down comes their steel beast crashing amidst sprays and sirens.

“We’ll raise it anew,” Marlow declares gripping Chuck Junior tightly—they lock eyes over intertwined spaghetti until lips meet at noodle’s end…a kiss sealed within fate’s tangled web.

In the electric air of FYE, Dennis postures with corporate might. “Why resist ad-free tunes that pulse with today’s beat?” he demands, his voice tinged with a vexing blend of frustration and arrogance.

But Charlie stands firm, her voice resolute as she defends authenticity in art. “You see,” she counters coolly, “true music thrives on subtlety—a quality lost amidst this self-indulgent cacophony.”

Dennis scoffs at wisdom; his laugh echoes like discordant notes clashing against melody. “Subtlety? Ha! As if these young souls could fathom such depth!”

Charlie’s retort is swift: “Underestimating their intellect only reveals your own shallow waters.”

The confrontation escalates as Dennis questions her loyalty to his plastic empire. With every subscription card unappreciated by discerning ears, his fury grows.

Then comes the ultimatum—delivered through flames conjured from malice itself—as red imps spring forth to wreak havoc upon this sanctuary of sound.

Yet when they dare disrupt Wendy and Kid Vid’s sacred communion with Lou Reed’s gravelly hymns—the line is drawn!

“My friends are off-limits!” Charlie roars defiantly against tyranny’s minions. She beckons her allies to retreat into realms backstage where treasures await—their secret weapon unveiled: a Steinberger Spirit guitar bedazzled in elven faux-crystals gleaming under fluorescent lights.

Kid Vid takes command over amps dialed to eleven while Charlie wields her crystalline axe like a knight brandishing steel—her riffs tearing through demonic ranks as each note casts spells stronger than any incantation uttered by mere mortals.

With every imp vanquished yet more arise—a relentless tide—but fear not! For Wendy joins battle armed with fries materialized from thin air flung towards Dennis now transformed into an image torn from celluloid nightmares—horns crowning him amidst villainous laughter echoing across time!

Together they stand—an ensemble cast ready for crescendo—in defiance against those who would silence creativity or dictate taste!

In the shadowy realm of Dean Sauveur’s lair—a place where whispers could dance on dusty rays of light—Nora and Jasper stand at the precipice of revelation. The figure before them is draped in power; her attire sings with echoes of 1982 glamor—an office siren amidst seas of academia.

“Robbie Sauveur,” she purrs with an authority that belies her maternal concern—the aftermath of impassioned student discourse still clouding her aura like mist upon morning hillsides.

Yet as Jasper reaches into his vestment to unveil their quest’s parchment prize, chaos erupts! A gunshot shatters serenity as leaden harbingers seek to claim dominion over peace. “Take cover!” cries Robbie, guardian instincts flaring beneath fluorescent siege.

But lo! From shadows emerges a valiant youth armed with lightsaber glow and steely resolve—a modern knight whose swift feet carry him through peril’s jaws!

Those who dare gaze upon this balletic fray witness a spectacle for ages: saber parries bullet in symphonic defiance while rubber beasts are deftly disarmed by the lad’s own pistol—no escape from justice’s reach!

Today we stand at the crossroads where past meets possibility—where powerful hearts beat rhythmically against chests aglow with confidence unfettered by yesterday’s echoes.

In matters both heartfelt and artistic, persevere boldly yet harmoniously—as leaders who craft compromise into masterpieces. Cherish memories but do not be chained by them; instead let confidence radiate from within as unseen potential blooms into fruition.

Embrace transformation fearlessly, nurture growth patiently, desire ardently—and above all else—support one another unconditionally as foundations shake beneath potential unleashed!

Embrace transformation hand-in-hand.
Support unconditionally without demand;
Together we grow strong—as sea meets sand.

As dice roll gently 'cross cosmic board,
North node whispers change without discord.
Leo's mane hides strength not to be ignored,
While nine suggests restraint shall be adored.

The moon reversed unveils treasures untold,
A path where dreams are sought but not sold.
5B speaks clear: Happiness takes hold;
In joyous times ahead be brave and bold.

Citadel beckons: Unleash poet soul!
Through authenticity find happiness whole.
Let vulnerability show—it's no toll
When kindred spirits meet to play their role.

Affirmations rise like sunlit rays:
Powerful, happy, glowing—all our days.

Nora’s Take on Today



In RuneScape News:

In the realm where pixels meet prowess—Runescape 3—the earth itself has yielded its newest bounty. Primal ores have emerged from Daemonheim’s depths to forge gear fit for legends! With mining and smithing now reaching celestial heights at level 110, let us don our miner's hats and raise our pickaxes high! secure.runescape.com/m=news/mining--smithing-110-launching-today---this-week-in-runescape#_ga=2.18872304.813860877.1724360033-613453004

As if answering the call of these seismic shifts beneath Gielinor's crust, a primal armor pack awaits those with an eye for aesthetics in the marketplace spotlight tab. Don it well; wear it proudly. secure.runescape.com/m=news/110-mining--smithing-post-launch---this-week-in-runescape#_ga=2.266875463.813860877.1724360033-613453004.1724360031

🌐 Clan Chronicles 🌐

A chorus of unity resounds within NORS’ walls—we've clasped hands with World 8 Clan through diplomacy most cordial. May this alliance herald festivities galore!

Double xp days have borne fruit aplenty—I’ve reached arboreal mastery enough to harvest magic trees’ ancient whispers.

Revelations await you in our special edition homage—to Music Videos that capture essence beyond mere frames...

🎬✨ The Cinematic Symphony of Jasper’s Journey ✨🎬

Once upon an era not so distant in time, young Jasper embarked on a visual odyssey—his first frames captured through the lens of antiquity: his mother’s camcorder from epochs past. Alas! These early relics slipped through fingers like sand—lost but cherished memories that shaped our maestro’s future tapestry.

From scrapbooks brimming with still life snapshots to digital images fleeting yet profound—the unscripted stories they whispered were mere echoes longing for motion’s magic touch.

Fast forward through years adorned with Polaroid moments—a new chapter unfurled where video became his canvas and YouTube his stage. With punk rock spirit coursing through his veins, he dared to dance with spontaneity under summer suns—an homage to synthpop sages titled “OMD Electricity Music Video,” setting the stage for masterpieces yet unwritten.

Fan tributes flowed like verses from muses New Order and Depeche Mode; each frame steeped in devotion—a prelude to NORS’ own chronicles etched in virtual realms.

And then emerged Some Distant Memory—Jasper at its core—as director, cameraman, editor supreme! His vision now seasoned by giants Lynch and Kubrick; “Venetian Masquerade,” “Sunrise Syndrome,” tales spun anew—and let us not forget “Just A Story,” whose laurels we’ve justly accrued!

Let’s raise a glass to Miss Kreativity, Gorlock309, Nincarde, Seven7Lights and NORS itself too—for without such kindred spirits weaving alongside him—our fabric might be less vivid or perhaps incomplete.

For NORS is no mere guild nor is SDM a simple band—it’s an ensemble transcending game or genre bounds. We craft more than music—we sculpt dreams into reality!

So here we stand today—in this momentous issue #21—to celebrate victories both seen and unseen… For every note played resonates far beyond Gielinor’s shores—it dances across worlds infinite!


Retro meets revolution—in this review discover how a wireless handset bridges yesteryears' charm with today's convenience...

🌐✨ Introducing the Vivitar “Clear Wireless Handset” ✨🌐

Dearest fans and aficionados of tech both transparent and timeless—prepare yourselves for an enchanting blend where vintage meets vogue: The Vivitar “Clear Wireless Handset,” discovered within the treasure trove known as Five Below (though at $10, it’s more akin to uncovering hidden gems than mere trifles).

Jasper—the ever-determined hunter-gatherer in realms digital—sought this prize fervently; such was its allure that even doubling its price through shipping could not deter his quest when scarcity loomed near upon reserve for pickup.

This charming chameleon is sleeker than its ancestors from decades past; don’t let its delicate form deceive you—it may not boast armor like phones forged in yesteryears but carries within it strength enough for gentle adventures.

Its connectivity weaves spells just shy short for those ensnared by endless chatter—but fear not! For casual conversers or whisperers weaving stories through audio tapestries (à la Juliana Chalahad sans extravagance), ’tis nothing less than perfection incarnate.

The sound quality astounds—the voice input captures every nuance intended for ears across distant lands or records waiting to be born from breath itself.

A sentinel during calls, signaling passersby “Hark! A conversation unfolds”—an ally against interruptions most unwelcome. Should slumber beckon while musings continue over waves unseen, cradle it close; find solace as space embraces thee tenderly.

In realms ASMR where personal touch reigns supreme—the receiver transforms into an extension of one’s very soul—an intimate dance between listener and creator alike.

Verdict bestowed upon this acquisition? Satisfaction reigns supreme—a worthy addition to any technophile’s collection or connoisseur seeking whimsy wireless wonders alike!

And lest we forget our faithful projector companion still casting visions far beyond walls confining—now revealing yet another trick up its sleeve: Bluetooth devices reunite users with YouTube applications and live streaming transcends spec limitations! (For example: MeTV Toons)

Now, onto daily delights plucked from life's vast orchard:

• Song of the Day: “Rush” by Big Audio Dynamite 🎶
A sonic joyride through time and space—fusing hip-hop beats with that classic rock ‘n’ roll swagger. Mick Jones isn’t just playing guitar; he’s weaving a tapestry of sound that wraps around us like an intimate embrace. It’s audacious, it crackles with life.
• Album of the Day: We’re spinning “The Queen is Dead” by The Smiths today! Morrissey’s croon and Marr’s jangle are like sonic threads weaving through the fabric of our very existence—simply timeless.
• Movie of the Day:“The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension” 
Nothing short of an eccentric masterpiece—a film so wonderfully bizarre it could only belong to our favorite era. With its campy charm and wacky wit, it straddles genres much like I might straddle… well, let’s keep this about the movie for now! Each scene bursts with color and creativity as if daring us to leap right into its wild narrative arms. It’s got everything from mad scientists to alien invasions—and doesn’t it just tickle our fancy for all things avant-garde?
• Book of the Day: “Dune” by Frank Herbert transports us across vast deserts on wings of imagination. A tale so richly woven, every read feels like uncovering another layer of this universe’s secrets.
• On This Day in '80s Lore (August 22): On this electric day back in 1987, Madonna had us all vogue-ing with her compilation album “You Can Dance,” remixing beats into an irresistible call to move your body!


And finally...
Nora reflects on today's world stage—with eyes wide open yet ever hopeful—as she crafts words both insightful and invigorating...

You know I see life through rose-tinted glasses made from crystals! Yes, there are shadows that loom large over parts of our world but look closer… There are also beams of light breaking through where kindness flourishes. We must be those photons—those bearers of hope—and infuse each moment with joyous rebellion against despair. Together let’s embrace this chaotic symphony called life; after all, isn’t that what makes being alive so thrilling?


There you have it—the latest scroll unfurled for all curious souls seeking knowledge mixed with mirth!

Today's divination dances across destiny’s strings: Embrace duality while tuning ambitions; diminish adversity like fading echoes. Be your own maestro—an artist painting futures bright & bold. With strength & happiness at heart—we leap forward!

Strap in, tune up, and let’s riff on today’s cosmic forecast—where the strings of intuition may need some re-tuning but promise an encore of wealth changes! We’re shredding the status quo with an upside-down Knight of Pentacles; inertia is out, and spontaneous solos are IN. Patience strums within us like a steady bassline waiting for its time to groove into the limelight. And remember: even kings must dance to the beat of adaptability—fortune spins like vinyl under a DJ’s deft touch. So amplify your affirmations loud and proud: ‘Today I am powerful,’ ‘Today I am grateful,’ ‘Today I move forward’ — because we’re not just jamming through life; we’re headlining at destiny’s main stage!

In navigating today’s intricate tapestry woven from threads divine and mundane alike; embrace changes rhythmically, communicate soulfully despite cosmic statics, preoccupy thine artistry wisely whilst recalling sacrifices yield regal returns—and always step forward powered by gratitude.

Dice and Cards of the Day - Sun. September 8, 2024

Today beckons us with the promise of Jupiter’s bountiful embrace, whispering tales of prosperity within the walls where our hearts sing loudest. We’re called to dance with change—even when it leads us down uncharted paths—letting resistance fuel our creative fires rather than smother them. Our souls shine resplendent through adversity; trust is our compass in forging bonds as strong and true as The Hound’s loyalty. Remember: even amidst strength’s proud display, humility paves the way for honor among fellow dreamers. Balance your boundaries like a maestro conducting an orchestra of stars—know when to pause in stillness before soaring once more into your symphony of aspirations. Today we are powerful beyond measure, grateful for each note played on life’s grand piano, and ever ready to look ahead towards horizons gleaming with untold possibilities.

Unchain melodies from within as Pluto aligns; clarity surfaces amidst Piscean signs. Embrace transformative visions others soon shall see; step forth from shadows where once bound, now free.

Dice and Cards of the Day - Sun. September 22, 2024

Embrace today’s alchemy—where thoughts spark creativity, action meets strategy, and power pairs with persistence. Let gratitude be your guide as you compose life’s ever-evolving ballad.

As planets shift and stars align,
We find ourselves at fate's design.
Change calls out—an echo bold,
In search of stories yet untold.
Embrace discovery near or far,
For inner growth sets life's bar.
Powerful steps lead persistent strides,
Grateful hearts are where truth resides.
Today we rise—together unafraid,
New paths await—to be surveyed!

In this moment of divine clarity, we stand at the precipice of transformation—embracing emotional authenticity while balancing on the sword’s edge between action and introspection. Our hearts’ deepest desires beckon us forward; it is time to release fears that bind us and choose faith as our guiding light. As warriors in spirit, we acknowledge periods of stillness are essential for growth before joining forces in partnership that transcends mere mortal bonds.

We’re called to be powerful yet persistent—to command our future with an unwavering gaze fixed upon horizons bright with promise. Today we affirm: We are masters of our fate, architects of dreams woven from shared passion and individual strength.

So let us cast these runes not just as stones but as seeds—planting them within Gielinor’s fertile soil where they will grow into legacies lasting longer than crystal trees or even Guthixian memories.

(From Zen Lessons - The Art of Leadership , pg. 72) “An iron dyke a thousand miles long leaks through Antilles. The beauty of white jade is lost in a flaw. The supremely subtle Way is beyond iron dykes and white jade, yet greed and resentment are greater than anthills and flaws. The essence of the matter lies in the will being true and sober, the practice behind progressively refined, the perseverance being firm and sure, the cultivation being completely purified. After that it is possible to benefit oneself and benefit others” - Xuetang

Dice and Cards of the Day - Sun. October 13, 2024

Hope to see NORS mems and allies at the Halloween event and Citadel for capping since reset last night. Anyone looking for a clan to join for a different experience with the game or a way to learn how to play if new is also welcome to join New Order of RuneScape (named after the iconic and groundbreaking electronic rock band). You can simply guest in the clan chat or send a message to Nora Lumwood (when I get mems back tomorrow most likely) or Count Gaius.

If you didn’t know it, we are coming around with extreme gratitude for the acceptance and more through amazing film festivals for our music video in the works we are very proud of. You can watch it through my blog on SpaceHey SpaceHey.com/sk8er_gaius15 which will be updated this week with a new blog/zine entry about our recent developments in media including our new website.

Nora’s Take on Today


Runescape Revelations:

In RS3 news, adventurers are buzzing over the new skilling boss that’s more action-packed than a New Wave mosh pit! Whether you're flying solo or rocking out with up to nine fellow players, prepare for loot that'll make even the stars jealous—think divine gear and celestial skyboxes where dreams dance under moonlit skies.

secure.runescape.com/m=news/gate-of-elidinis-launch-week---this-week-in-runescape

Halloween haunts have hit Gielinor with "The Fab Four and Frank" ditching their spooky citadel again, but for fresh frights in a realm brimming with seasonal shenanigans catering to player clans. Dive into a hauntingly fun quest and chilling activities before November 4th rolls around like a runaway pumpkin carriage at midnight!

Don't forget – generosity is always in season. Donate those runecoins for charity partners when snagging your Frogly outfit from Jagex’s heartfelt collaboration with local school girls in their area back in March.

Group Ironman? That’s right; it lands in RS3 this October. Sharpen those swords and shine those shields!

Old School Scape brings cozy chills with its Halloween event—a heartwarming tale woven around an elderly woman, her feline affection, and vibrant pumpkins galore. Decorate your player-owned house with festive flair!

Clan Chronicles:

August saw Arch Consigliere Starkrost monkeying around Cabbage Facepunch bonanza thanks to Big Daddy Chief Head Count Gaius (aka Dad) & Mighty King Davey of FL - talk about fun (though graphically glitchy) family times!

Our clan quester “Queen Kai” Kaiphas soared back into Master Quest cape glory while reaching combat level zeniths this past September.

A tip of the crown to Starry, General Zorak, Ruby Shinato – birthdays may pass but memories remain as radiant as ever.

Norsupdates.com emerges polished like a crystal trinket box – reimagined yet familiar. Visit often; there’s magic in every click linking our digital realms together, even in more specific cases.

Edit: Mighty King Davey of FL’s brackets for the Oaday Naked Dagger tournament are sizzling hot out of the forge! Head over to NORS Updates and let those fingers do some clicking—register now or forever hold your peace (or pieces if you're not careful in combat). It's time to sharpen those skills and show Gielinor what you’re made of!

"Just A Story" video eclipsed six minutes—shoutout to MJMoth3 for snapshots sparking life into frames! Stay tuned; credits roll soon after final edits wrap up this visual symphony (with a visual art scene by KeiCreate in the works) which we are proud to say has been continuing to receive honors at film festivals including “Finalist” in Filmique and “Nominee” in SIFF.

AMW-pitched writers spun gold from soundwaves capturing "Beauty Untouched" & "Forwards and Backwards." The latter proved elusive but emerged victorious through word-weaved wonderment despite ticking calendar days. We cannot overstate our appreciation.

Divination’s Destiny:

Chapter 17 part 2 beckons within these pages—or leapfrog across time via dedicated linktree hosting past whispers and future echoes alike.

linktr.ee/NORSLore

In the electric air of FYE, Dennis postures with corporate might. “Why resist ad-free tunes that pulse with today’s beat?” he demands, his voice tinged with a vexing blend of frustration and arrogance.

But Charlie stands firm, her voice resolute as she defends authenticity in art. “You see,” she counters coolly, “true music thrives on subtlety—a quality lost amidst this self-indulgent cacophony.”

Dennis scoffs at wisdom; his laugh echoes like discordant notes clashing against melody. “Subtlety? Ha! As if these young souls could fathom such depth!”

Charlie’s retort is swift: “Underestimating their intellect only reveals your own shallow waters.”

The confrontation escalates as Dennis questions her loyalty to his plastic empire. With every subscription card unappreciated by discerning ears, his fury grows.

Then comes the ultimatum—delivered through flames conjured from malice itself—as red imps spring forth to wreak havoc upon this sanctuary of sound.

Yet when they dare disrupt Wendy and Kid Vid’s sacred communion with Lou Reed’s gravelly hymns—the line is drawn!

“My friends are off-limits!” Charlie roars defiantly against tyranny’s minions. She beckons her allies to retreat into realms backstage where treasures await—their secret weapon unveiled: a Steinberger Spirit guitar bedazzled in elven faux-crystals gleaming under fluorescent lights.

Kid Vid takes command over amps dialed to eleven while Charlie wields her crystalline axe like a knight brandishing steel—her riffs tearing through demonic ranks as each note casts spells stronger than any incantation uttered by mere mortals.

With every imp vanquished yet more arise—a relentless tide—but fear not! For Wendy joins battle armed with fries materialized from thin air flung towards Dennis now transformed into an image torn from celluloid nightmares—horns crowning him amidst villainous laughter echoing across time!

Together they stand—an ensemble cast ready for crescendo—in defiance against those who would silence creativity or dictate taste!

🎮Editorial Extravaganza: The Pixelated Prism of Life 🕹️

Dive joystick-first into our special edition focused entirely on Videogames!

Darlings of the digital domain! Let's have a heart-to-heart about our beloved videogames. Some might label these interactive epics as mere "escapes," but I say nay! To me, they're vibrant vignettes—kaleidoscopic glimpses into life’s myriad mysteries.

Videogames are not just escapades; they're rehearsals for reality, honing skills and ideas that transcend screens to touch our lives. They stir within us dormant passions, providing arenas where we can unleash fervor in ways the tangible world may not always allow.

Like an electrifying guitar solo that recharges your soul, games invigorate emotions and energies begging to be channeled into our daily dance. They hold up mirrors reflecting what's absent from our days and inspire us to infuse those missing melodies back into the rhythm of life.

Whether it’s guiding pixels or polygons, every game—from retro classics like Sim City on Super Nintendo to today’s VR marvels—is a chance for self-discovery and improvement!

Feast upon thoughts swirling around Wendy’s Krabby Patty Collab meal review.

Sea-spritzed greetings, my fast-food loving friends! Dive fork-first with me into Wendy's Krabby Patty Collab—or should I cheekily propose "Pineapple Under the Sea" as its true marquee? Nevertheless!

The star isn't a burger dressed in seaweed ties—it’s the Pineapple Frosty—a creamy concoction swirling with tropical bliss that'll make you want to limbo under palm trees or strum a ukulele by moonlight.

While there was no treasure chest box brimming with Bikini Bottom goodies (a missed opportunity for collectible charm), let's toss confetti for those adorable stickers! Adorn your gear with sea-star smiles and anchor your appetite with juicy patties paired perfectly alongside their famed golden fries.

A round of applause for Wendy—the red-headed siren calling us ashore—not just doubling but quadrupling sticker delights so we can deck out everything from guitars cases to laptops in fast-food finery!

So here's raising a pineapple frosty high—Wendy’s has blended sweet indulgence with savory satisfaction yet again. Cheers to them—and cheers to all you wonderful creatures of land and sea who join me in this delectable dive!

Now onto today's cultural cornucopia:

• Song of the Day: Let's groove tonight with Depeche Mode's "Here 
is the House”—a timeless track echoing through eternity.
• Album of the Day: Submerge yourself in The Pixies's masterpiece album “Doolittle.” This isn't just an album; it's a rollercoaster through indie rock’s heart, with Black Francis’ howls and Kim Deal's harmonious hums guiding us through every twist and turn, where surreal meets sensual, where songs like “Wave of Mutilation” and “Here Comes Your Man” touch our souls with their lyrical caresses. It’s an album to play when diving deep into each other's wildest dreams or simply getting lost in a dance across the living room floor together.
• Movie of the Day: “Chances Are”—A tale of love beyond lifetimes that tickles our fancies as much as it tugs at our heartstrings that will leave your spirit dizzy with delight. 
• Book of the Day: Step inside Neil Gaiman's fantastical musings within “Neverwhere,” where London Below awaits intrepid explorers yearning for adventure beyond imagination.
• On This Day in '80s Lore (October 17): Dust off leg warmers because Duran Duran released their seminal single "Wild Boys"—and wild they were indeed!

As we gaze upon today’s world stage—it might seem less sparkly than our retro daydreams—but remember lovelies; it takes darkness for stars to truly shine bright. Keep kindness kindled within hearts so hope can illuminate paths forward—even if sometimes they twist more than David Bowie vocals soaring over labyrinthine beats...

And that wraps up Baroness’ Bulletin #22! Until next time keep strumming harmonies both literal and metaphorical—and never stop dancing through life’s grand ballad 💖

Rockingly yours,
Nora 🎸
