The Shannon "It" List

Sooo I know entertainment weekly does this type of thing where they talk about 10 things in entertainment that everyone loves. I'm going to do pretty much the same exact thing, but with things more relevant to my life... which is basically TV and food... so yeah. This is like the weird brother of Entertainment Weekly's It List. Like Entertainment Weekly is Prime Rib and I'm, I don't know weird brother of Prime Rib (NAME THAT QUOTE! QUICK WRITE IT IN THE COMMENTS!). So here you go.

1) Brooklyn Nine Nine- This is the best new show. I already love it ALMOST as much as Parks and Rec, which is really REALLY saying something because I love Parks and Rec ALMOST as much as Arrested Development, which is REALLY REALLY saying something because I love Arrested Development almost as much as I love myself. No, probably not, but you get the point. I'm not even a huge fan of Andy Samberg's acting abilities... but this is just amazing. It's really the second funniest show on TV right now and if you aren't watching it what the hell! Watch it!

2) Anchorman- So you know how when the Royal wedding happened people had Royal Wedding Fever? I think I have Anchorman 2 fever. It is such a great, funny movie. I've been trying not to quote it for my facebook status this whole week because I've used them so much. I don't think I've ever said Milk was a bad choice. That'll be my status.

One time on an exam, I was on the written part and all I could think about was Betty White and some Anchorman quotes. I got a C. Meh.

3) Lorde- How can I not be obsessed with Lorde? She's a teen pop star from Australia that actually speaks her mind against celebrities people her age admire. And she's also really talented! Sure I know everyone is a little sick of Royals by now, but I still think it's a great song.

4) Welcome to NightVale- I've already reviewed this, so you know I love this already, but ohhhh my gosh. I just recently finished listening to every episode... I'm actually listening to the episode about the shape in Grove Park again right now cause I think it's pretty funny that there is this shape that nobody acknowledges or speaks about. I just love this show. It's a podcast by the way if you didn't see my review. It's good.

5) Instagram- I instagram too much. I just feel so accomplished after putting a picture of myself or something that I like or something funny or my adorable puppy and having people like it. It's probably my favorite social media thingamajing just cause I like taking selfies a lot.

6) Penne Vodka- I realize this is not a new thing, Penne Vodka has always been around... but I just discovered it a few months ago and it is wonderful. It is the most wonderful thing in the world probably. I never thought I would like it because I don't like tomato sauce very much and I ended up thinking it was the most delicious thing in the universe. Now I eat it about once a week... no shame. I feel bad that there are people out there like me that have never tried Penne Vodka and I think I should go door to door and tell people about how Penne Vodka changed my life, like how people do that with religion. People should know the good word of Pasta and it should be a thing!

7) Mindy Kaling- This is weird and should be saved for a Woman Crush Wednesday but there is something about Mindy Kaling's life that I really admire. She's only like 12 years older than me and she's showrunner of her own show that is hilarious! And she's super funny and adorable and has a book that is super funny and adorable. And she posts pictures on her instagram and she's like an actual grown up with an office that does things like storyboard and can afford to buy things and do stuff. I know that doesn't sound like such a big deal, but to a poor 22 year old college student, that's a whole lot. I guess I want to have a similar job and stuff and it's like "wow this can be my life in a few years." Soon I will be able to have an office and afford things and do stuff also. Thats a goal I think I can reach.

This obsession makes me laugh, but I'm actually totally serious.

8) Gaps Solitaire- Ohhh my gosh this is a fun game. I have an app on my ipad called all in one solitaire that has this and it is fun and awesome.

9) Peanut Butter Candy- I just went to the convenience store and bought like $9 worth of chocolate and peanut butter candy. No regrets. It's pretty great.

10) The free tote bag Victoria Secret Just gave away- Not sure why I'm obsessed with this, but I totally am. It's silver on the bottom and it has silver glitters and it's lined with a silky lining and it has a little pouch on the inside. It's a nice tote bag. It looks like it was more expensive than free. I like to hide the Victoria Secret logo in the hopes that people think it's a Michael Kohr's bag or something like that. Although I don't live in the best place, so if it was a Michael Kohr's bag that might be dangerous... wheras a free Victoria Secret bag is less dangerous. I don't know. It just makes me feel fancy and I'm a little obsessed with it.

Sooo those are ten of the coolest things in the world right now. What 10 things you think are cool? Whisper it softly in your computers ear. Or leave a comment.

Byeee!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
