Superbowl Scoop

I'm not much of a sports person... but I watch the superbowl... mostly for the ads... but the ads sucked this year and the game was pretty okay... soooo here's my little review about it.

First off... Marshawn Lynch. He recently did a press conference in which he answered absolutely no questions and had a giant bowl of skittles on the table. It's just so funny that they kept asking questions and he said NOTHING! lol. Plus he had a giant thing of skittles that he was eating at the game. He's just a funny dude that is quite awesome.

Other things we noticed: Number 75 on the Patriots looked like his uniform was a little snug. A few of the patriots looked like they had a bit of a snug uniform too. Maybe they cheated or something like that since that seems to be a thing they do.

And I was "voting" for the Seahawks to win because Marshawn Lynch, plus they have pretty uniforms and as hot as Tom Brady is, he's a cry baby and I don't like him. Plus its Chris Pratt's team. So yeah, Seahawks had my vote and I thought they did good for most of the show.

And the Halftime Show I thought was really good. I really liked all the lights and the sharks and beach balls and the flying. I thought she just did a really cool job and it was cute. It was one of the most family-friendly performances I've seen in a halftime show and that's cute. A lot of kids like Katy Perry's music and its nice that she performed to their liking...

AND MISSY ELLIOT OMG! That was an awesome little comeback. I'm a fan of Missy Elliot from my younger days lol. They played a lot of Missy Elliot at my Middle School dances. I wish Lenny Kravitz was on a little longer. They made a huge deal about him being the special guest, and he was on for like half a second. It was good though. I like him, so yeah.

And the commercials... lets talk about them because there are usually some good ones that make me laugh out loud... there was not one that I thought was super funny. A lot of them were for Apps, which I thought was stupid. I thought the Lindsay Lohan commercial was kind of in poor taste... I liked the Walter White one, but I love Walter White. And of corse I liked the Mindy Kaling one, but only because I love Mindy Kaling... if someone else were in it I don't think I'd like it as much. And they already showed it sooo many times! I hate that they do that now because, I like the surprise of what they're going to say or do on the commercials. I usually try to avoid them, but I follow Mindy Kaling on all social media, several other Mindy insta accounts and those darn facebook ads stalk me, so they know I'm a fan and they advertise her with the big ice cream thing... so yeah. That was annoying.

Also random: The guy that's sitting with Matt Damon is always in a Duplass Brothers production, he's the guy that is Mark Duplass on Togethernes... I always thought that was Jay Duplass, but it isn't lol. He's just an actor that is also a creator or producer of Togetherness I think. Odd.

And the one weird commercial was quite odd and terrible... you probably know which one I'm talking about. The one that said "hey stop watching the superbowl and watch your kid because they're probably going to die."... ummm okay. Don't tell me my kid is going to die! That's just weird. And my family has been involved with some bad luck and even a freak accident lately... and everyone has been fine and things are just things so that's all that matters... but its scary for us. There are no young children in my immediate household, but we have a dog. Something bad could happen. Its a scary thing. So idk if that was a good commercial or a bad one because it did get my awareness... but really during the super bowl? It was just a scare tactic to get people to buy whatever insurance or whatever they were selling and during the super bowl it was just really odd.

Overall, okay game... wish the Patriots didn't work but it was exciting. Commercials were meh and creepy. Ohhh I did like the new Ickey Woods commercial. My dog goes crazy for the original Ickey Woods Geico commercial. Its pretty funny. And yeah. I didn't watch The Blacklist after the show because I don't really watch The Blacklist often... but yeah. That was a cool choice for the After-the-superbowl show.


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...
