Wallpaper Theme Converter

You might have read before that I love the Catppuccin color theme. It’s the same one I use on this website! I also love using that theme on the apps that allow me to, like Obsidian, VS Code and Vivaldi.

To match all of that, I need some wallpapers that fit the palette too. And I just came across this tool that automatically adapts the color palette of any image you upload to a theme of your choice! I’ve had good results with it so far. Definitely makes my desktop look way nicer :)

Quick Review: The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Extended Edition)

The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Extended Edition)
2002, Peter Jackson

My rating: Loved it!

While this is probably my least favorite of the trilogy, it’s still one of the best movies ever made. An outstanding achievement in all regards. I can’t believe these movies exist.

The extra scenes for the extended edition are also pretty neat, and add some extra context that is very welcome for a fan like me. The overall movie pacing gets a bit worse which is why it’s totally understandable why they were cut from the theatrical release. And another reason I’m glad the extended editions exist!

I just wish the final Saruman scene was in this movie instead of the next one. I feel like it’d wrap around this movie’s story a bit more nicely.

Downtown Gramado is proof that something can be both overrated and incredibly beautiful. Nothing beats it on a rainy winter night.

Araucárias are my favorite tree. They are charming, look very unique, and their seeds make for amazing winter food.

She was both terrified of the sea and ecstatic about the sand.
