Scribbles About TV: American Horror Story Hotel Finale Review + Thoughts for next season

So... I wasn't a huge fan of this season...  mostly because of the penultimate episode... it just wasn't my favorite... I didn't like that they killed Queenie... I thought that was a cop out... But I do have to say, I was happy with the way it turned out. I don't think any of the characters were necessarily "good." Usually the heroes get a happy ending, the villains get a bad endings... there were no real heroes or villains in this... they were all just sort of bad guys... but even John March, the Ten Commandments Killer got kind of a happy ending. Very similar to the way Dylan McDermott did in season 1... the finale was very reminiscent of Season 1 and the Scream Queens finale to me... but it wasn't bad. Thats what I think American Horror Story is good at. They have such serious plots and stories and then they get to have a little bit of fun in the finale and I like that. I think the happiest ending was Donnovan and Iris. She got to hear that Donnovan...

Scribbles About Life: My Dog and his Snowman

So I was going to post something different today... but this story is just too cute... so I need to share it. My dog, Spencer was looking at the dining room table trying to get something the other day, and it was these snowball things we had. We weren't sure at first but we gave him one of these and he was happy. He was REALLY happy with it though. He wouldn't take it out of his mouth, except every once and a while he would put it down and just stare at its face. It was like he was in love with it or something, it was so cute! He's a maltese, and I think he thought the snowman looked like him and maybe he thought it was like his doggy mommy or his sisters, but he just loved it! It was the cutest thing. And these aren't really dog toys, they're very easy for him to get open and tear the stuffing out... so we'll only let him have it if we're home and if we notice he's tearing it open we'll take it away from him. And when I did take it away last...

Shannon Goes Viral: The Find The Panda Meme

So recently in a viral meme trend is the Find The Panda meme. Its kind of like Where's Waldo, but with a panda.... This is going to just be sort of a review of the meme cause I have a sort of love/hate relationship with it and I feel like other readers of this blog might feel the same way. Why I love it I love Where's Waldo and I love the idea of using current pop culture to do a Where's Waldo. They have a find the Panda in the group of stormtroopers. There's a find the panda in a group of metal heads... its really fun and I can't wait to see what else they come up with. So far I've only seen those and the yearbook photo where someone is holding the panda. I think its a really fun idea to just hide the panda in anything you can think of. Whoever came up with these are really clever. Why I hate it  Hate is a strong word really... but what I don't like about it is that it is less challenging than Where's Waldo. Maybe that's just for me... idk but...

Scribbles About Songs: Favorite David Bowie Songs

So David Bowie is my absolute favorite singer and his songs always make me feel better when I'm sad and they make me feel what I need to feel I think... if that makes sense. I don't want to get too gushy about it... I didn't even know all of his songs that well, basically I have Best of Bowie and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust... so those are kind of what this will be about... sorry I just kind of like to listen to singers that have been around a while just a little bit at a time so that they stay new to me. Soul Love  This is in no particular order but  this  one is my absolute favorite. I've listened to this 1,000 times. I think the lyrics of this song are absolutely beautiful. This is probably the best, most heartbreaking love song I've ever heard... and there may not be any more truthful and honest lyrics. It is just such a beautiful song... I feel like that's what I'm going to be saying about all these songs cause there's not much to say abo...

The Weekly Wrap Up- 1/10/16

Favorites  Chex Mix Snickerdoodle Muddy Buddies- I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter Muddy Buddies... but these snicker doodle flavored ones are pretty amazing! I got these in my stocking... I'm not sure if they were a favorite before... but I like them a lot and... yeah. If you can find these, pick them up cause they delicious! Justin Bieber- When the hell did Justin Bieber get good? He's not like soo good that I'm obsessed with him or anything... but I don't turn him off when he's on the radio because his songs are just so good! I ranted a little bit about the One Direction song... which is also pretty good... but Justin Bieber got good! I wasn't crazy about What Do You Mean... But I think Love Yourself is so clever and awesome. I feel like I have to mention him at some point during the week. As it turns out though... still an ass! We'll talk about that in the news portion. He's been Un-favorited... lol. Fulton's Pumpkin Pie Cream Liquor- ...

Scribbles About Songs: All Your Favorite Bands by Dawes

So I heard this song on the radio once, on the radio station my dad listens to... which I don't normally like... but this song kind of spoke to me. I feel like this song to me is what Hello by Adele is to most people. I feel like maybe because of my age and my life experiences this song makes me feel things and Hello doesn't totally make me feel things... but this one makes me miss people and things. And like he's saying that he hopes everything works out for whoever he's singing the song to... but its not like he's wishing her anything amazing. Just kind of simple things that seem like the worst things that could possibly happen when you're in high school, but then when you're a grown up... the things happen and you barely blink an eye. One of the lines is "I hope that all your favorite bands stay together." And that's a big thing for me right now. When I was in high school, Fall Out Boy, Panic at The Disco, Cobra Starship, The Academy i...

Things That Pissed Me Off This Week+ One thing I'm Excited About (AHS SPOILERS)

So... don't take this too seriously. I'm going to rant a little bit about things that are just kind of mildly annoying... just cause I think it'll be funny. So if you get offended by things and I make fun of something you might get offended by this... I'm not apologizing. If you can't take a joke I feel bad for you. If you're reading something you get offended by... maybe do something better with your life. So I'm channeling my inner Lewis Black... come on, you know you have one... and just writing about small complaints like they are the worst thing in the world. And I think I'm gonna keep up with this series. Lol. Perfect  First off... One Directions song Perfect... okay This song is good enough, I think the One D guys are actually pretty talented. But let's listen to the words... shall we? "But if you like causing trouble in Hotel Rooms. And if you like having secret little rendezvous. If you like to do the things you know that we sho...
