Throwback Thursday: Rugrats

There are some shows that you watch as a kid and love, and then you watch them as an adult and they aren't as amazing as you remember. Dinosaur was one show I always looked forward to watching on Disney Channel after school and stuff... And as an adult, it just wasn't funny or good at all! It was one of the biggest disappointments of life, even though Jessica Walters is in it! 

Rugrats, however, is one show that I actually like even more as an adult than I did as a kid! There's some humor in it that's just more for grown ups and it's super funny and just absolutely great all around. I appreciate the parents and grown-up characters a lot better than I did as a kid, and I even find the babies cuter and funnier than I remember them being. Didi is super funny, her parents are really great, Stu's relationship with his brother and his dad is funny. I love seeing the "bromances" with all the dads and the female relationships on the show also. 

I also love how close everyone on the show is too. All the babies are so close and the parents are all so close that they're like siblings or cousins even. The parents are always real and they get annoyed with each other sometimes, but they have a real, genuine friendship that I find really powerful. It's hard to have that as adults and it makes me think that the babies will all be besties when they grow up as well. I even like All Grown Up for that very reason! 

In particular, I saw the pilot again recently, and it's just super clever for any tv show. Not just a kids show but in general, just really creative. It showed Tommy's first birthday party and Didi and Stu were planning the perfect party with the perfect present and everything, while Tommy just wanted to eat dog food and become a dog. The party planning is something the parents can all relate to, and I'm sure every kid at some point has wanted to eat dog food! I can imagine kids putting this on and their parents seeing it and liking it just as much as the kids! It's pretty brilliant. 

Overall, I just really like this show. As a kid it was my favorite and I still find it sooo sooo funny! Definitely love that they have The 90s are All That now so that I can enjoy these all over again! I wish they did something like that for ABC Saturday morning shows or something like that! Lol. 


Byeeeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
