This Week in TV- (Week of 11/2/14)

Sunday- 

Once Upon a Time- I like the connection between Emma and the Snow Queen, but that is very creepy and dark. I liked that this episode focused around Belle, I thought that was great. I thought Belle's mom was going to be the missing sister, but I guess she wasn't. I'm not sure I totally understood everything that was going on, this is one of their harder to follow storylines, but overall it was good.

The Affair- Must catch up!

Bob's Burgers- I'm so happy this show is back! I thought it was really funny too. Tina fell in love with a fake ghost that Louise made up... it was just really good all around. They always have good Halloween episodes and this was really really great.

Brooklyn 99- Really funny episode all around. Holt was good, it was funny that Jake and Amy found out about Gina and Boyle... The club scene was funny, and I like seeing the softer side of Rosa. She was especially good paired with Terry Crews character this week.

Monday 

Gotham- Must catch up!

Jane The Virgin- Good episode. I kind of love Raphael and I love whats going on between him and Jane. Its pretty amazing. I also like that Jane found out who her father was and I'm happy she's upset her mom didn't tell her. Jane always "does the right thing" more or less and I like that she's still human and she gets upset with these things.

Tuesday 

New Girl- Ohhh my gosh. This was the best episode ever. One of my favorite episodes of any tv show ever. I feel like if this happened to my friends and I we would react the same exact way... it was just the funniest thing.

The Mindy Project- Good episode. I liked Peter's girl! But he was such a jerk to her! And I love anything with Mark Duplass in it... seriously he is amazing. Especially as Delorean.

Marry Me- Really good this week too. I'm becoming kind of obsessed with every character and with Annie and Jake in general! They're both really amazing!

Forever- .... must catch up

Wednesday 

AHS Freakshow- Slightly underwhelming after the last couple weeks... Not gonna lie. It wasn't bad, it had some great guest stars and plot twists and when the crowd hated Elsa I really felt her pain and it was very moving. I guess saying it was a letdown after the past couple of weeks is not quite right... It was a decent follow up... But not all that spectacular.

Thursday- 

How To Get Away With Murder- OMG! It was amazing. This was probably my favorite episode yet. It was so good. I'm obsessed with Rebecca, who was also Maggie from The Carrie Diaries... and just what a great episode!

The Big Bang Theory- Too Mushy... it was cute but it wasn't that exciting. It was just like "ohhh i love you penny, I love you leonard." Amy and Sheldon also said I love you... but nothing wowed me about the episode as a whole.

Friday 

Cristela- I don't usually watch tv on fridays... but I was home and had nothing to do, so I accidentally watched Cristela for the first time... it was cute but a little confusing. Cristela gave her niece money for her birthday in the hopes that they would buy her a tablet and Cristela was upset that she got a purse instead that "all the cool girls had." While this message is good... it was weird. Why didn't she just buy her a tablet if she wanted her niece to have a tablet? Why isn't it cool to have a tablet? I just don't think that message was as strong as it was meant to be. It was kind of cute... but there were no real laughs and just... no. Not nearly as funny as The Neighbors.

So this weeks winners... for Drama it was definitely How To Get Away With Murder and I have a feeling it will be for the next few weeks because it just looks sooo soo good coming up. For comedy it was New Girl, which surprised me. Not because New Girl isn't a great show because it totally is... but compared to The Mindy Project and other comedies that are on it just has never been my absolute favorite... this week it totally totally was one of the funniest things ever on television.

Overall this week was awesome and I can't wait to catch up on Gotham and Forever because those look like they've been really great also!

Byeeee!

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
