Orange Is The New Black Obsession Blog Post

I feel like I need to post something about my obsession with Orange is The New Black before season 2 comes out because... I am obsessed!

So if you haven't watched it yet you should because it is perfect! It's about a woman named Piper who is basically a nice blonde lady with a past. She's engaged to a normal guy played to absolute perfection by Jason Biggs, and suddenly one day she is arrested for a crime that she committed years earlier. The crime was that she was smuggling drugs and she did it for an ex-girlfriend, also played to perfection by That 70's Show's Laura Prepon. Jason Biggs proposes to her, she goes to prison and has many adventures including insulting the chef, getting stalked by "Crazy Eyes" who thinks she's her prison wife, seeing a chicken and eventually starting a life-threatening fight with a fellow inmate who happens to be a jesus-lover.

One of the best things about this show is the supporting cast. There isn't one character that I find boring and there are characters I don't like, but they are amazing villains. Pennsatucky is sooo annoying but she is hilarious and sad all at the same time. When they showed her back story, its almost sad but it more importantly shows why she's so terrible and makes her twice as terrible... and I'm sure there are people like her in real life- which is just scary. I also think Heely is absolutely terrible, he's the counselor that's like a lesbian witch hunter and he's in love with Piper at firs it seems, but then at the end he is a true asshole. And then there's pornstache and all the other horrible people on the show... its just great lol.

And there are also great characters like Red and Crazy Eyes and Nikki and Daya and the guard... which is a story I cannot wait for! It's all good. And it shows stories of how they got to prison and what they were like before prison. It's just all really good, but it doesn't overshadow Piper and her storyline. Piper is somewhat annoying, but she's a character that is interesting and easy to relate to. She's a great central character, it's easy to get hooked on. I watched the first season in like a week, I'll probably finish it a second time this week. I'm watching the second season with my friends in one day... we won't talk at all throughout any of it... it's just all good!

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...

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...

Man Crush Monday: Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of my favorite talk show hosts... and I pretty much like all the late night talk show hosts... so that is saying a lot. (I haven't actually watched James Cordin yet, but I have a huge crush on him from Into The Woods, so yeah. I also have a crush on Seth Meyer though... And all the comedy central guys... ugh. Lol. and obviously Jimmy Fallon. Lol.) So yeah... this is saying a lot that he is one of my favorites. 1) He genuinely acts like he has the most fun job in the world-  Jimmy Fallon is always really excited about the show. He pretty much does have the most fun job ever, and he actually appreciates it. He was on SNL, and when he left SNL for late night he was excited and proud of his job, and now on The Tonight Show he's very happy. 2) His Ice Cream Flavors are good- This one is completely random... but I feel like having Ben and Jerry's make an ice cream flavor after you is a really big honor and a great responsibility. You can tell a lot about a...
