Stuff that happened this week- 10/12/14-10/18/14

1) The Mortal Instruments to become a tv show- The popular book series about... I have no idea what its about, is set to have a tv show maybe sometime in the future. I'm always skeptical about these things. I believe there was supposed to be a Delerium tv show that didn't end up working out. I think Emma Roberts was even in talks to star, but that didn't happen, there was supposed to be a show based on a book called Swamplandia and that never happened. I wouldn't hold my breath if you are a fan of the series, but I want to read the book and watch the movie, so I'm putting this as noteworthy news this week.

2) American Horror Story renewed for season 5- I was sort of questioning this. I think AHS could easily go on forever, but this year also marks the last season for the leader of the AHS gang, Jessica Lange. I think the show will definitely be hard to recognize without her, but I think it will still be as good... or bad as other seasons. The premier of Freakshow was the highest rated for the series so far, so it isn't all that surprising. I didn't think it was as good as other premiers... but thats just me!

3) Kat Dennings dating Josh Groban- There's a weird couple if I ever heard one... not quite sure why, I think that Groban and Kat are both in the comedy circle for whatever reason and they probably have mutual friends. Groban was a guest star on the Office and he's been in other things with notable comedians. Kat Dennings is a notable comedian I suppose... they are both beautiful people... it just seems unexpected? Maybe because he has the voice of an angel and she tells super dirty jokes on Two Broke Girls... not quite sure, but again I always like attractive couples getting together.

4) TV shows picked up for a full season- So far 3 shows have been ordered for a full season. Two of them are my favorite shows of the season, so I'm not surprised. Gotham and How To Get Away With Murder are both getting full seasons and so is the ABC comedy Blackish starring Anthony Anderson. Good for those shows! I think HTGAWM and Blackish were picked up last week and this week Gotham was announced, but still. All related.

5) Creepy clowns in Wasco California- Apparently there is a creepy clown hanging out by the "welcome to Wasco" sign in California and it is terrifying. Police are looking out for him, technically he isn't doing anything illegal... but I don't think the coppers are happy... so yeahhh. Be careful, I'm glad I live on the East Coast... although this happened in Long Island a few months ago. Aghhh.

6) Rainbow Brite reboot- Yep thats right! My mom just got my sister and I some really cool Rainbow Brite ornaments that were on sale and now they're rebooting the series! I believe the voices are Emily Osment and Molly Ringwald. The animation doesn't look quite as cute as the original, but its still pretty cool. I love Rainbow Brite! I think its just such a cute and colorful cartoon and really its  just girly and fun and cartoonish. I love it and I probably won't watch the reboot because I'm 23 now and that would be weird, but I'm excited for kids today to have Rainbow Brite.

7) Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney have commitment ceremony- I feel like this is kind of speculation, but it makes sense to me at least. Apparently there has been some ring spotting and sources say that there was a secret commitment ceremony in front of family and friends for Gaga and her boyfriend Taylor Kinney. Reports are claiming that between her Gaga-ing and his Chicago Fire-ing the two are too busy for a real wedding just now... but they wanted to have a ceremony to show their love. The two are unofficially expected to be officially married sometime next year! lol.

8) Bono apologizes for giving everyone with an Iphone a free CD- Do we really need an apology to this? I kind of wish they did this for smaller indie bands like they do with the single of the week. Remember when they had the Feist song on their commercial and everyone wanted to download that song? Wouldn't it have been great if they just put that new cool Canadian band that no one knew about right on our phone? I think that's a great idea! But yeah its a free cd, cds are easy enough to delete on itunes, I don't think Bono should have to apologize. Plus everyone complaining about it probably ruined it for future bands doing this... so thanks Hipsters! You've ruined possibly getting unknown bands that you claim to know before they get famous to get famous. That kinda sucks.

9) Friends Complete series coming to Netflix- I don't know why this is exciting to me, but it is. I mean I love Friends, but I already own all the DVDs obviously and I've seen the entire series about 70 times already, and watch reruns often as well... but I almost understand how Gilmore Girls fans feel now! Sidenote: I don't get the big deal of Gilmore Girls. I watched a few episodes... and nothing happened. There was no drama, there was barely a plot. It's probably one of the worst shows I've ever seen and I understand its a lot of people's favorite show... but I DON'T GET IT! Lol. I had to get that tiny rant out there.

10) Neil Patrick Harris to host the Academy Awards- This is an early announcement for this so who really knows what is going to happen, but NPH is happy, he's done a good job hosting the Emmy's and Tony's and he's kind of amazing so I don't see why he wouldn't host the Oscars. I think he'll do a great job and I'm actually excited for it. Also how creepy was he in Gone Girl? He was amazing!

11) Don't send in the Clowns to Review AHS Freakshow- Apparently clowns are angry at Freakshow's portrayal of Twisty the Clown. I'm not for Angry clowns... but AHS is not the first pop culture reference to a scary clown. In fact I think after IT, everyone just kind of agreed clowns are creepy as hell. Also it isn't so much the clown that is scary, its the murdering part... so I think as long as they don't kidnap and/or murder people... they should be fine. Really murderers should be angry about it.

12) Paul Rudd invites everyone to party at his parent's lake house- Okay, I exaggerated that part... he's not exactly like his Parks and Rec character. But still after the Royal's won, Paul Rudd invited fans to party at his mom's house. That's adorable. Paul Rudd is an American Treasure!

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
