Scribbles about News: 2nd week of Feb

1) Woman gives birth to 14 pound baby- Ohhhhhh no. No. No. Noooo. Umm a woman gave birth to a child that weighs more than my maltese. She is the best woman in the entire world, I would say better than most in any universe and I wish her and the baby the best luck in the entire world. This is the biggest baby known to date... I'm wondering what this baby will be like when it grows up. It might be super tall or really big, or maybe just really tiny or something. Its kinda cool to be born a record breaker though. It is... wow. Lol.

2) Nia Vardalos to guest star on Jane the Virgin- Nia Vardalos news will always be reported on right here. Lol. The star and writer of My Big Fat Greek Wedding said that she liked the show and now she's going to get a guest starring role on it. She said that she also really likes Porshe's lol. I really love this show and I find it empowering and Nia Vardalos is also a super empowering person in my life too... so it just makes sense.

3) The Grammys- I totally missed the Grammy's last week because of Better Call Saul but here are some of the highlights. Sam Smith won a bunch, which is cool I love Sam Smith. And Beck won for Record of The Year I think, and Kanye joked and got up on stage and Chrissy Teegan went "eeeeeeee" again and then he walked off stage laughing. And then later said BEYONCE WAS ROBBED! I know who Beyonce is, I hear her all the time, she has a lot of money and is the leader of a cult or something. I have no idea who Beck is, I've heard the name, he's probably very talented and deserves the award... and as far as I know didn't sell his soul to satan or anything to get fame... so thats cool. I don't think Beyonce is at all robbed of any awards.

And other than that I haven't heard anything about performances or crazy things. Weird Al won, but they announced that before the ceremony, so it wasn't televised or anything. So yeah, I hope Weird Al EGOT's one day. Or EGOT SGCA's (emmy, grammy, oscar, tony, spike guys choice award.)

4) Jon Stewart announces he is leaving the Daily Show- Wow. I remember when Jon Stewart STARTED the daily show. I was upset. I mean I was like... 6, but I remember Craig Kilbourne was really funny with the Clinton thingys and I really had no idea what was going on with the Clinton thingys... but I feel like a lot of people around my age knew what sex was pretty early because of the Clinton scandal. Teen Mom wouldn't exist without the Clinton administration. Lol.

Anyway yeah I remember Kilbourne saying "Linda Trip is a man baby" and that was really funny to a 6 year old. But Stewart did a good job, he was equally funny if not funnier. My mom actually met him and his family and said that they were all really nice. And he said he heard his family is very nice, so he's going to spend some more time with them. I think thats cute. From what my mom said he sounded like a great father. My mom met a few famous people at Borders and he was one of the nicest. I'm going to miss his show. And I don't know who is going to replace him, but I'm sure SHE will do a great job (seriously comedy central... get a woman!)


5) Benedict Cumberbatch got married- Benedict Cumberbatch of Sherlock and photobombing fame got married over the weekend to his fiance I would imagine. I hope that he photobombs all of the wedding photos.

6) Brian Williams suspended from NBC- I believe the news anchor has been suspended for 6 months... might be weeks, but I think its months after the lie that he told on national TV and then got caught in it and now we suspect he told other lies because... thats what happens. Lol. So uhhh yeah. That is a thing that happened.


7) Axl Heck to leave The Middle?- Things aren't looking too good for another season of The Middle. All the stars contracts are up this year, and they have yet to be renewed for another season. I feel like its been getting better, but its also kind of run its corse. The actor that plays Axl Heck was just offered a pilot for CBS that is created or produced by Greg Garcia from My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope and The Millers. Yeah... don't really love The Middle, but I like it and I'm not a big fan of Garcia's shows but I think its good that Axl is getting a TV show. He's funny and talented, so it might be pretty good.

8) Apple to Make electric car?- According to Facebook News, Apple is working on an electric car. I wonder if it will be like an ICar. Lol. I am a fan of Apple products, but I feel like this is weird and could possibly be a miss. Idk. Ummm I don't drive, so if it dries itself that would be cool for me. Idk if I even believe this, but yeah. Thats a thing I read. Lol.

9) 60 Minutes anchor dies in car accident- 60 minutes anchor Bob Simon was involved in a fatal car crash. Apparently there were reports on Simon's drivers erratic driving. Simon was working on a report about Ebola with his daughter who was working as a producer. This is sad news for the journalism community. Bob Simon was a very good award winning journalist who reported good international reports. They showed a clip of an award winning story he did about somewhere in Africa I believe where kids recycled instruments and learned how to play them.

So that is it this week. Not a huge news week... but some important stuff is happening.

Byeee!

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...

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...
