Stuff That Happened This Week (5/25-5/31)

1) Nia Vardalos and John Corbett sign on for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2- This has to be the first news because Nia Vardalos is one of my biggest heroes in life. She's such an amazing interesting person with a really great story and she's so great. She does a lot of stuff for adoption and her husband is awesome and her daughter is great and I just love her. I know she's been toying with the idea for a while, I feel like she can write and act in whatever she wants and she's super funny... but I think everyone just wants a sequel for MBFGW and I think she wants this sequel too. I know her and John Corbett had a lot of fun making it, and they have great chemistry together, and I just think this will be great. I kind of think the first one was perfect as is and that they shouldn't change it by making a sequel... but at the same time I'm such a big fan of Nia Vardalos and her in general that I think it'll be great. I almost want to audition or write or something.

2) Maya Angelou dies at the age of 86- This is a sad story also. Maya Angelou was such an inspiration to soo many people. It's interesting to see it on facebook, a lot of people are posting quotes and status's in memory of her, and really she was clearly an inspiration to a lot of people. And it's not like there's just one inspirational quote or thing that she's known for, she's known for so soo much.

I was just thinking of rereading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and I think its a really beautiful and inspirational story. It's her story about her early life, and it's just amazing how far she's come from that. She is and will always be an inspiration to a lot of people and she will be missed.

3) Bill Murray crashes a bachelor party and is awesome because Bill Murray-This is a nice story. He crashed a bachelor party at a steakhouse and told the single men in the group advice on how to find the one. He said to travel the world together and when you land in the airport and you're still in love get married at the airport! I thought this was great!

4) Lcvar Burton starts a super successful kickstarter to bring back Reading Rainbow- I have very fond memories of Reading Rainbow and Levar Burton hosting it. I know he's a little busy now sailing the Childish Tycoon with Troy Barnes, but I think he'll have time to host this show again and maybe bring Donald Glover as a guest host. He pledged to get a million dollars by July 2nd and he already raised a million dollars on his first day! I think this is really going to change kids futures. Like it seems silly, but Reading Rainbow really helped me get into reading and I think we really need that for kids today. I'm glad it will most likely be returning.

5) Bryan Cranston says Breaking Bad may not really be over- Wahhhttt? We never did see Walter in a body bag (spoilers) he just collapsed on the floor. Perhaps Heisenberg is still out there? Honestly I think the end of Breaking Bad was incredible, Walter got what he deserved and it was beautiful and poetic and just all around an awesome episode. Like even if that wasn't the finale, I still think it would have been one of the best episodes of the show. Of course if they did decide to bring Breaking Bad back, I'd watch it for sure, but that ending was just too too perfect. I kind of want to see a Christmas Special or a Musical. I'm actually debating writing one and pitching it to Vince Gilligan lol. I think that would be a fun way to bring it back, especially since Breaking Bad did have a very dark humor to it.

6) Brad Pitt was attacked by a prankster at the premier of Maleficent- This is kind of scary. I mean those events have always seemed really secure to me and its scary that a celebrity can be attacked during this... especially by someone that is just doing it for pranks. I don't think he was seriously injured or anything, but still that's kind of distressing.

7) Casey Wilson and David Caspe got married!- The Kimye of the comedy world Casey Wilson and David Caspe tied the knot over the weekend! David Caspe created the show Happy Endings, which Casey Wilson starred in. They met when Wilson auditioned and they found out they both lived
 on the same street in New York years earlier without ever actually meeting each other. Adorbs! I love
Casey Wilson, I really liked Happy Endings and I want to see the new show they're doing together
and yeah... they are a good couple. I hope she didn't have to have any bride wars! lol.

8) Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas welcome baby boy into the world- I wonder if their son realizes that he is the savior! Jk I'm sooooo sooo happy for them they are one of my favorite couples. How great is it that Snow White and Prince Charming are actually married and have a baby and everything! They are just the cutest! I love them. I think they will be excellent parents. Apparently when you work on an ABC show or have anything to do with a Disney affiliate you can go to Disney for free and stuff and Ginnifer loves Disney so that is nice for her! I think she'll be a great mom and josh dallas will be an excellent dad too!

9) spelling bee judge uses lyrics from Kellis's milkshake in sentence- LOL! I love that this song is still relevant first off and I cannot imagine being that kid that asked for it in a sentence and them hears "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard" which I'm guessing is what happened. I'll have to read it to find out.... But damn that's soo funny!

Okay apparently that wasn't what happened. During one of the last words he made a joke about it bringing all the boys to tabithas yard and then said... Ohh wait. and it was funny.

10) Gweneth Paltrow is annoying and offended wounded soldiers because Gweneth Paltrow- Someone needs to shut her up for realz! Apparently Gweneth's life is just soo hard that she gets insulted on the internet and compares herself to a wounded soldier. Boo hoo, her life is so hard in. Her mansion with all of her money and her nice hair and all that! I feel like I'm someone that can be easily offended,but if someone offends me, I pick myself up and just keep living my life. I'm an adult it isn't that hard to do! I know my life isn't nearly as hard as any soldier, especially a wounded soldier, and let's face it my life is a hell of a lot harder than Gweneth Paltrows!

The best part of the article was a soldiers response to it. He pretty much just told it like it is. He said that he felt bad that she woke up in her mansion and had to charge her iphone and read a mean comment about herself online after doing basically nothing for her job. Meanwhile people in the military are losing their arms and legs and some of them even give up their lives for this country for basically nothing while she's earning millions of dollars for a small role in Iron Man where she probably had to work for like a day. Cry me a river Gweneth.

Sooo yeah that ended negatively... But still!

Byeeeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
