Woman Crush Wednesday- Elizabeth Banks

Okay... so I really want to make this post today since I'm trying to post daily... but it is 11:26 pm now so this may technically be on Thursday... I'm going to try real hard here!

Out of thinking of my first woman crush it has to be Elizabeth Banks. I just always thought that she was so pretty and she's really funny in movie and seems like the type of ballsy chick to play really goofy silly roles, but she's still a good enough actress to play in serious roles too. I think she's better suited for comedies than dramas, but she is certainly a good enough actress for either and I'm gonna say it: She could possibly win an oscar some day... or she'd be really good on television too. I'm not sure.

I first noticed her in the movie Role Models I think. I just thought she did a really good job of being funny but she was also the "girlfriend that wants her boyfriend to grow up" role. Her character mentioned that she had a pretty face in the movie and could do better than Paul Rudd, but she stayed with Paul Rudd... and I think everyone in the audience was like "yeah she could" but also like "Elizabeth Banks is such a sweetheart I doubt she'd do that in real life." Which I think is true. I think she is one of the most beautiful women but she doesn't flaunt her beauty. She's a good and successful actress and I think she'd rather have people think of her as that than for her beauty or anything.

I also think she's super awesome because she produces a lot of great movies with her husband,  which is pretty cool. She was a producer on Pitch Perfect... she also acted in Pitch Perfect and I think she was really funny and great. The role was written for Kristin Wiig, but I think Elizabeth Banks put a different spin on the role than Kristin Wiig would have, which made the character hilarious and completely Elizabeth's own.

Another great character she played was Avery Jessup on 30 Rock. She was a great counterpart to Jack Dounaghey and I thought she was one of the show's best guest stars. She just played off the whole cast really well and I really thought her and Jack were a perfect match and I really liked that storyline. I also liked the fact that when Kim Jung Un died, fans actually connected enough with that character to make Avery Jessup a TT on twitter I think, idk there was a lot of buzz when that happened. And I follow her on twitter and think that she was really shocked by the reaction and kind of thought that was awesome too. And if I were her I would think that's pretty awesome too,

Basically Elizabeth Banks is extremely beautiful, talented and smart and I want to be like her when I grow up. I've always felt she's very underrated as a "funny girl" and I've always thought she was one of the greats up there with Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Kristin Wiig... yep I'm going that far. She's legit lol.

Byeeeeee!

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...
