Woman Crush Wednesday: Gillian Jacobs

So since I mentioned Community yesterday, I thought "hey you know who is funny and absolutely beautiful? Gillian Jacobs! So she is my woman crush because...

1) She's good at improv- she's always really good on Comedy Bang Bang the podcast and the tv show... It's pretty much entirely improvised and she's playing a character of herself and she really added a lot to the podcast with her character. And she's probably nothing like her character of herself in real life because I don't think she's a gold digger that has an on again off again relationship with Gary Marshall... Which brings me to point #2 

2) She has a sense of humor about herself- On Gary Marshall's Wikipedia page it says that he's married to Gillian Jacobs. Well it did,idk if it still does. She always retweets this and she thinks it's just as funny as CBB fans do. 

3) Community is awesome- She's just awesome on Community and it is an awesome show. She is good enough on it that she can get bigger movies and more tv shows, but she stuck with Community because it's an awesome show. And she does a lot of indie movies too and I believe she has a webseries... Other than Community now, which I think will thrive as a webseries. 

4) She's really good at being the picked on character- I feel like not everyone can play the "picked on character" and shows are sooo much better with that character in my opinion. We need a Jerry/Gary/Larry/Terry Gingritch. We need a Dr. Andre Nosick, we need a Sweet Dee Reynolds. It isn't something everyone can pull off as well as these characters, but Gillian as Britta is amazing at it. 

5) I've never seen her in anything I didn't like- This is another thing like what I say about Cameron Diaz that she just makes movies good because she's entertaining to watch... But this is more, she makes movies good because she is actually good and she chooses good roles for herself... So I think that helps a lot. Ohh actually I didn't like The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, but I think she only had a small role in that and it was probably the only part that I liked of it all. Lol I was only half paying attention to that movie... But yeah. Community, awesome. Comedy bang bang the podcast and tv show, awesome. One of my favorite episodes is hers on the tv show. Bad Milo, she was really good in a role that could have totally just been a "boring wife" role. 

So yeah. Gillian Jacobs. Really good! 

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...
