Weekly Charts: Music and Movies!

Heyyy guys! So I need to come up with a more clever name for this, but basically I will be commenting on the top 5 movies of the week and the top 5 songs on itunes... I won't do this all the time, but every once and a while on a monday I will!

Sooo lets start out with songs... I can already tell you I haven't heard a single one of these!

5) Wastelands by Linkin Park- I kind of hate Linkin Park... for no good reason I guess. A lot of my friends liked them at some point, they are friends I think with a lot of the bands I liked in high school, but I could never really get into them. Maybe because all of their songs sound the same idk... I haven't heard the song yet... maybe I should listen to the preview at least. Well it sounds different than their other songs... but I still don't like it. I'm never going to be into this band. NEXT!

4) Wiggle By Jason Derulo feat. Snoop Dogg- First off... I was quite sure Snoop Dogg had changed his name to Snoop Lion and this CLEARLY says feat. Snoop Dogg... Idk if its the same one or not, but that should be noted. I don't totally dislike Jason Derulo... but this song kind of sucks.

Also I don't understand why it is so appealing to have a wiggly ass... There are several songs that refer to wiggling and wobbling when it comes to ass and butts... but no... why do you want it to wiggle? I think the overall shape, size and grabability is more important than the wiggley wobbly factor... IF YOU'RE GOING TO OBJECTIFY WOMEN, DO IT RIGHT DAMNIT!

Plus his cover art is creepy... yeah. I like him with Jordin Sparks and I hope he's not a creep like Robin Thicke.

3) Rude by MAGIC!- All caps and an exclamation point? That automatically makes me like them less. Let's hear this... Can't tell if this song is only #3 because of a joke or not... It seems like if Rebecca Black's music factory or whatever had a ska/reggae band... this would be it. I only heard the sample... I may do a more in depth analysis of it later in the week because the lyrics sound that awful but basically it goes "why you gotta be so rude... I'm gonna marry you anyway." Those are 2 completely different thoughts. Anyway, yeah if this is the song of the summer... I'm going to hate everything.

2) Am I wrong by Nico and Vinz- Actually I did hear this song before I just shazammed it the other day because I did kind of like it. I think this might be one of those smaller songs that takes the summer by storm in a surprising way. Like Goteye's Somebody that I used to know or something like that. This is my favorite so far... probably like it more than the next song too...

1) Problem by Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea- I like this song more than Ariana Grande's song that was big last year... but I don't understand the obsession with this girl! When I heard The Way at work last year I thought that it was a 90s song by like TLC or something... I had no idea that was who Ariana Grande was or that it was a current song. Needless to say, I was shocked. But yeah... not a big fan. Let's get to movies now!!!

Movies 

5) Blended- When I first saw the trailer to this movie I thought it looked okay... then I saw it again and I was like "well the story doesn't really make sense at all." I'm not a big fan of Adam Sandler... but I like Drew Barrymore, I think she's a very beautiful and classy actress. This looks kind of good even though it's failing at the box office kind of. My friend is studying to become a vet and she actually worked with some of the animals in this movie I think when she went to Africa a few years ago. I know she worked with the lion that attacked Adam Sandler, and she worked with animals other than lions too... so yeah. I wonder.

4) Godzilla- This was a movie I was really excited to see when I saw the trailer... but I haven't seen it yet, and I don't know if I will see it in theaters. I always feel so hyped when I see a trailer for an action or comic book movie... but I hardly ever like action movies and I hardly ever see them. This looks like a cool movie, but at the same time, do I want to sit in a movie theater for 2 or 3 hours just to see a giant monster destroy New York? Idk. I love Bryan Cranston and I'd like to see him in it, but idk.

3) A Million Ways To Die In The West- Wow! I'm surprised this is #3! I really want to see this. I don't like Family Guy, but I did like Ted... although I didn't love it and I don't think its something I can watch over and over again... doesn't make it a bad movie, just a bit mehhh. I tend to like movies I can watch again and again better, so yeah. I haven't heard reviews for this yet, but again it looks funny and I want to see this and hopefully will see it. My mom weirdly wants to see this too I think... idk if I want to see it with her tho lol.

2) X Men: Days of Future Past- What I said for Godzilla alll over again. I feel like X Men is something that I should really watch and I kind of want to see all of the movies, but there are sooo many goddamn movies. There are like 2 or 3 from the original franchise, there's an x men prequel and there are 2 wolverine movies... I feel like I'm missing something but I'm not. That's just a lot. Idk about it. It's supposed to be really good, but there are far too many comic book movies to hold my interest any more. And there's a reboot for every frickin thing. I'm even slightly annoyed with batman by now to be honest. Tooo Too many.

1) Malefacent- This is what I really want to see. I love Sleeping Beauty, I love Malefacent, I think the visuals look amazing, It is another goddamn action movie, but its female centric and there aren't many of those. I love an origin story, especially an origin story of a villain and Malefacent is kickass and Angelina Jolie is kickass so this movie should be awesome.

So that is all from the charts. I had a dream the other night where I said there really aren't many movies I like and there really are not. I see a lot of movies, but there are few that I feel like are really made for me... and that's been upsetting me recently. I'm more into tv anyway... so there's that.

Byeee!

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...
