American Horror Story: Coven Finale Review (some spoilers...okay a lot of spoilers, but I warn when to stop reading. ))

So last night was the Season Finale of Coven so I'm going to review it. There are spoilers... but the first few paragraphs are spoiler free. In case you were wondering.

I was pleasantly surprised by this finale. Last year's finale was just so boring. It seems like usually AHS tries to wrap everything up in the penultimate episode and they leave something for the finale, nothing huge happens but theres usually enough to keep everything interesting. The first season's finale did that absolutely brilliantly and the second season not so much. This year I thought A LOT happened in the finale for once.

For one, I like the whole concept of the Seven Wonders. They sort of kept what they were hidden throughout the season and we finally got to see what they were. There was 1)Telekinesis 2) Mind Control 3) Divination 4) Resurrection 5) going to hell and coming back 6) transmutationt? Idk it was like the girls were playing tag and they could show up out of no where 7) ... idk I'm only counting 6? I guess going to Hell and Coming back count as 2 separate wonders.

The thing I thought was the coolest and most horrifying was their concept of Hell. It was a really different concept than anything else. Basically picture the worst moment you can possibly imagine in your life or the worst thing that's ever happened to you... and live that same moment over and over again for reality. And Now here come some spoilers.

When they send Misty Day, who was known for her skills with bringing the dead back to life and was believed to be the next supreme went to hell, she imagined a grade school Biology class. She was dissecting a frog and she brought the frog back to life. The kid told the teacher and the teacher yelled at her and made her kill the living frog. Misty Day is kind of a hippie... so she of corse did not want to kill the frog. It was just such a sad thing to watch and even MORE tragic because Misty did not return. Misty of all people did not deserve to go to hell and live this moment over and over again and it was really really hard to watch her go through that. RIP Misty.

The other girls versions of hell were more humorous. Queenie was working at a KFC type of place and she had a long line of customers. She got out of Hell so quickly it was great. Madison's was that she was on NBC's Sound Of Music as Liesel (saw that coming lol). And Zooey's was that she kept breaking up with Kyle... which I mean I guess I thought it would be something more deep and meaningful or something... idk. It seems like Hell was the worst part of your life so far. The hell part was my favorite scene.

And then some other stuff happens, Zooey dies, Madison refuses to bring her back but she brings back a fly so they're pretty sure she's the supreme. Cordelia doesn't want Madison to be supreme, she starts doing the test. She passes all 7 wonders, brings Zooey back and becomes the new supreme. Fiona dies, Kyle kills Madison, Cordelia talks to the news reporters about the coven and a bunch of girls join them... all that good stuff.

I have to say: AHS ALWAYS leaves me on the edge of my seat at the last few moments of the season. There's usually some sort of hug and then someone kills the other person but you aren't sure who will kill who... and its just UGH SUSPENSE and of corse I always have to pee and I nearly pee my pants. Thats when Fiona died and her version of hell... it was even a little sad for her to be in hell. I mean yes she deserves to be there but... it's still a sad thing to see. I didn't really feel sad when Kathy Bates and Angela Basset went to hell... but this one made me a little bit sad.

So yeah all in all I think Coven is tied for the my favorite season with Murder House (I don't think that there was a technical subtitle for the first season, but I think that's what people are calling it). I think they said they tried to sneak in a hint about next season... idk what it'll be. Crazy Butler murderers? Frankensteins? Plants vs Zombies? What do you guys think?

Byeeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
