It List: January 2014

1) How Did This Get Made Podcast- I've been obsessed with this podcast. It's just Paul Scheer, June Diane Rapheal and Jason Matzoukas discussing horrible movies. I love all of those people... I love bad movies so this is kind of a HUGE win for me. I love it. I've been listening to it like all day the past few days. I'm listening to it right now and it's incredible. They also have great guest stars like Rhetta, Nick Krull, Adam Scott, Dan friggin Harmon... just amazing. Check it out. I listen to it on Stitcher which is an app to listen to podcasts on and it's pretty cool. I dig it.

2) Aerie Hoodies- These are the softest friggin hoodies in the entire world. I got one last tuesday... and I bought another on wednesday and then again on thursday. They are so soft and warm, and they're on sale for $15 right now! Ahhh-mazing!

3) Sun Golden Magnolia from BBW- I mentioned this lotion in my ginormous bath and body works haul. I got another one since then for free. I really like this smell a lot. It's floraly and warm. These aren't out yet I don't think other than the travel sized lotions... but I'm probably going to buy some more stuff with this scent when they have it! It's just amazing.

4) Community- How good has season 5 been so far? Right? Dan Harmon is back and it is quite amazing. It has been super funny and amazing and I just feel like my life is complete again now that it's back and it's really good again. I'm going to be sooo bummed when I have to go to class on Thursdays again... but seriously if you don't have Thursday night classes watch it. It's amazing! (and if you do have class watch it on hulu or nbc.com... seriously its amazing!)

5) Saving Mr. Banks- I thought this was a fantastic movie. I have a review on it, but I really think it was moving and I just think it was totally underrated for the oscars. Colin Farrell should have been nominated, Emma Thompson should have been nominated, Tom Hanks was fantastic (I feel like if he was nominated for anything it'd be captain phillips) and Jason Schwartzman and B.J Novak also
fantastic... I just really really liked it. It made me laugh and cry and I just felt all of the feels. It's great, sad but great, just see it.

6) Burger Shop 2- I've been playing this game so much that I've been getting dreams about it. I haven't played this in a while, but I just started to again and that was a mistake because it's literally all I've been doing. Ughh! So fun. It's a good game to play when you are stuck inside due to snowy weather or a cold or something.

7) Caramel Flan Lattes from Starbucks- Holy crap these are fantastic! I think it's my new favorite drink, I hope they don't just make it like a seasonal thingy, because I would drink this all year. A lot of people on Starbucks facebook page said they didn't like it. I really like it. The caramel is a little different than in the caramel macchiatos and it's just really good. They have a frap too... but its freezing cold so I thought I'd pass on that. Lol.



8) Cherry M&Ms- I repeat: Cherry M&Ms. Nothing else to say here. These are just super duper yummy.

9) Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups- I just tried these and they are quite spectacular. Usually I buy these type of candies from the convenience store type places- especially by my school. My go-to candy is usually twix... but I have a feeling these are getting to be a thing.

10) Lorde- just got her cd... She is amazing. I think my favorite songs by her are tennis court and Glory and gore. Check out the cd. I don't get tired of hearing Lorde on the radio cause I think she has such a different sound and very unique songs. Very talented for a 16 year old.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
