Stuff that REALLY happened this week! (3/30-4/6)

I hope you all liked yesterday's post and appreciate me trying to do a late April Fool's prank... now on with the real news of the week!

1) JK Rowling to make Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them a Trilogy- Is anyone else peeing their pants with excitement over this news? No, just me... well alright then... April fools again... maybe... I didn't actually pee my pants but metaphorically... You know what I'm just damn excited for this and you should be too! This is a spinoff of the Harry Potter movies based off of a spinoff book that Harry, Ron and Hermione had to read for class. We knew that they were going to make one movie... and I think I even said back in the day that there would probably be sequels to this movie and everyone thought that just having one movie was good news enough... but yeah 3 >1. And it's being written by JK and... ugh. I'm excited you may notice.

2) April Fools Pranks all around!- Drew Carey and Craig Ferguson switched places, American Eagle is saying it's designing clothes for dogs called American Beagle Outfitters (which is to support the ASPCA) Google maps designed some sort of Pokemon game, google chrome did something to I believe. I posted a fake blog about fake news stories that didn't happen at all. The world is a funny place for the week.

3) Miley Cyrus loses her dog- this is sad to me. When I say loses I don't mean like "missing dog" I mean that the dog passed away. I recently lost my dog Lucky and I still miss him every day. I wish that Spencer had gotten a chance to meet his big brother, I think that Spencer would love him too.

4) Michael Strahan offered GMA job- this was news that we clearly weren't supposed to hear about yet. I think they're trying to get someone to replace Josh Elliot and Sam Champion. I think he maybe wanted to leave Kelly and Michael first. He's saying it would be part time and that he could do both. I don't really wake up early enough to watch either show, but meh still interesting.


5) Always Sunny in Philadelphia gets picked up for 2 more seasons- this is exciting news! I love Always Sunny and I think it's really cool that it's super-renewed! I mean it's not the best, it's a little hit and miss sometimes but the hit episodes are some of the funniest things on tv!

6)John Hamm was on a dating game show years ago and got REJECTED!- Apparently John Hamm used to be super cheesy and not nearly as attractive as he is now. There was an embarrassing video that just surfaced. The woman that didn't pick him doesn't regret her decision, hasn't seen Mad Men and is married. It's just kind of funny that even someone as beautiful as Jon Hamm got rejected. Also I just saw the video of  Aaron Paul on The Price is right, so I think that's kind of funny.

7) James Franco tries to Insta-hook up with 17 year old fan- James publicly admitted that he did in fact start flirting with a 17 year old girl from Scotland via Instagram. And while he did invite her to
his hotel room...he got caught and admitted it was a bad idea. I find this slightly creepy and he is still my biggest celeb crush... It's kind of brave that he admitted it. I also think it may have been a weird marketing ploy for his movie in which he plays a man interested in young girls... Or it may be to cover up that he is common law married to a Japanese Body pillow... We may never know.

8) Goomies 2 is apparently a thing- why are so many 80s movies sequels coming out. They recently announced Beetlejuice 2 and now this? Idk I didn't really love the original Goonies from what I saw (sorry!) so I'm not all that excited.

9)Bryan Cranston announces he will be writing a memoir- you can probably guess I'm super excited about this. I'm a huge breaking bad fan, the memoir is apparently mostly about his years on Breaking Bad and it's just going to be freaking cool! Soooo excite!!!


10) Hbo 2 showed Game of Thrones all weekend- I love GoT but I'm not as obsessed with it as others and I haven't seen it since Season 1. Either way pretty damn cool that it was on all weekend. I'm guessing it will still be on now if you're just reading this and you didn't know about it... Not quite sure. And of corse season 4 begins tonight and there will be even more character deaths now than ever probably. They kill a lot of people off all the time I mean damn! Also Silicone Valley starts tonight which I'm pumped for! Maybe I'll have a review later in the week!

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...
