Stuff that Happened this Week (4/20-4/26)

1) Tila Tequila is a Baby Mama- Former Famous Person Tila Tequila from the MTV bisexual reality show "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila" announced that she is pregnant and started a new mommy twitter account. She hasn't been in the news a lot recently because she was laying low from a lot of things... I think she was engaged to some girl that died, she said something really offensive about sympathizing with Hitler (also why are we listening to someone named Tila Tequila about history?) and she went to rehab as well (why do we let people named Tila Tequila into rehab? Why do we let Tila Tequila exist?) Anyway, I'm sure once the baby is born we'll all go "ohhh yeah that's that girl from that show" and then go back on with our lives until the next time she is briefly mentioned in news...

I know she's been through a lot and I probably shouldn't make fun of her... but its hard to take someone named Tila Tequila seriously. Also her last name is Tequila... what the hell is she going to name the baby? Jose Cuerpo?

2) Clippers Owner Donald Sterling's racist rant- This is a weird story, and unfortunately because the news likes to talk more about George Clooney's engagement than this, there isn't a whole lot of info about it. Apparently it was a rant against Magic Johnson because his girlfriend took pictures with him and posted it to instagram. He didn't want her to be seen with "black people" he said or something racist like that. He wasn't exactly being Mel Gibson, but the fact that he's an owner of a Basketball Team just makes it more disturbing. It's also just kind of weird that this should happen as his wife is suing his girlfriend for reason that the news kind of skipped over.

Yes, he should be fired or resign, this should clearly be looked into further rather than just George Clooney's news.And I'm guessing he won't win that lifetime acheivement award now. Too bad! So so sad.

3) George Clooney is engaged to girlfriend Amal Alamuddin- As if you had a chance anyway???? Lol. Seriously I hate that the news is like "George Clooney is now taken off the market" like he was really going to slum it and date some average girl anyway. Amal is a lawyer and humanitarian and the news was like "what a perfect match! she's a lawyer and humanitarian, he's an actor and humanitarian!" Really? You just need one thing in common for a perfect match. Perfect! James Franco is an Actor and an English Major, I'm a (former) Cashier and and English Major... same thing right?I'm already tired of hearing about this story NEXT!

4) ET Atari games found- These were mythical, but they were uncovered and now they are believed to be real. I'm not a huge ET fan.

5) Stephen Speilberg to direct Rahld Dahl's BFG- This is exciting. I like Rahld Dahl. I loved Matilda. Not sure if I want Speilberg to direct this thing (see above) but I don't dislike Speilberg. I think I remember reading BFG and I liked it, but I don't remember it all that well. I liked Fantastic Mr. Fox... which I never saw because I was a bit old when it came out and I love Wes Anderson, but the animation creeped me out a bit.

More stuff happened this week too, like a Gem and the Holograms movie that sounds exciting... but I'm super super tired. I'm feeling sick... so this is an abbreviated version of stuff that happened this week. Tomorrow I think I'll have a longer post... not quite sure. I wanted to wait a bit to post what  I think I'm posting tomorrow... but maybe I'll just do it tomorrow and get it over with.

Byeee!

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
