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.

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
