Scribbles About Life: Feb 2015

Sooo... February possibly weirder month than January. I thought it'd be better because its a short month... and I'm not saying any month is necessarily better... but its weird and different I guess?

I was still a little weirded out with the events of the end of January that I still won't talk about, so that happened. It wasn't really a bad start or anything I guess because really, nothing all that serious happened everyone was fine everything worked out well... but it made it started the month off slightly irregular. And that will continue this month also I believe... so yeah. I mean thats a thing. Oddly unspecific, but still happened and happening I suppose.

And then there were some fun things this month too. I went to see 50 Shades of Grey and I hung out with some friends a few times. Always fun. Just some fun days that happened which I'm quite thankful for I suppose... why wouldn't I be... lol this is awkward. Maybe I shouldn't do these posts since its too unspecific for me to mention my personal life... maybe no one cares about these vague details including myself.

One thing I did that I am proud of and that I will talk more about in the near future... possibly tomorrow actually, is that I've gotten better with posting my blogs. I've been really enjoying writing these posts and coming up with good ideas for new blogs and I've just been kind of proud of what I'm doing with both of my blogs right now. And that makes me really happy. Its a good feeling, even though this is a small blog and I don't think anyone is necessarily reading anything more that I post, I'm proud of it. And I wouldn't post anything I wasn't proud of, but now I'm improving and growing I think, and I'm happy that it seems to be showing in these blog posts and that I can do what I like a little more.

It's also been super cold here. Idk where everyone reading this lives, I'm assuming its just friends of mine that see this post on facebook or whatever... but its been far too cold for me to want to do anything. Its like one of the coldest winters ever and its snowed more than it hasn't as of recently I think... pretty much every other week we had a snowstorm, and they haven't been the worst... but enough to need to shovel... which kind of sucks. Lol.

And a lot of things that made me sad happen. I was incredibly bummed out one day. I had been listening to Comedy Bang Bang and they played the last episode with Harris Wittels who died recently, and I was listening to some of his older episodes of CBB and I was laughing so hard I was crying. But I feel like my brain didn't know I was happy crying and thought I was sad crying so it just made me in a bad mood all day... but it was like a comically bad mood. Like I would watch a Hershey commercial and feel bad for the people when they finished the candy bar. That was upsetting. I feel like the Harris thing made me really sad even though I didn't know him at all, and I didn't even know his comedy that well. I had heard him do a podcast where he was talking about writing for a TV show he loved and he said that he was surprised and thrilled that he got to write for Eastbound and Down. And he wasn't that much older than me, so I thought "hey that could be me in a few years writing for one of these shows I love and watch every week." Which would be super cool. And I think he had a lot to offer the world and he was taken from us too soon. Aziz's post about him was very nice and touching, and Jim O'heir and Greg Schur posted really nice things also. Its sad but nice.

On a lighter note, I'm addicted to coffee now. We got a Keurig recently that mostly my mom and I are using and I've been enjoying it particularly. So far my favorite is Foldgers Vanilla Biscotti. I also like Gloria Jeans Hazelnut and Mudslide coffees, Foldgers Sugar Cookie is pretty good and the Donut Shop brand is good. So yeah. Thats helped me waking up earlier and focusing more on this blog. Lol.

I've been reading Amy Poehler's Yes Please and Gillian Flynn's Dark Places. Yes Please more than Dark Places, I'm almost done with Yes Please and it makes me sad. I love Amy Poehler and I like having a friend I guess for a little while. Lol thats what memoirs make me feel like. Like "ohhh I've got this friend giving me tips and telling me stories." Which is nice.

Highlight of the month: I had an interaction with Viola Davis on Twitter. It was so exciting. Bascially I was busy watching the 2 hour finale of How To Get Away With Murder when the Dress Debacle happened. Remember the dress that everyone was talking about a million years ago? Some people thought it was White and Gold, Some insisted it was blue and black, some saw both. I am a both-er. Anyway I tweeted to Viola Davis and Shonda Rhimes that I didn't know why everyone was talking about this dress when the How To Get Away With Murder Finale was so sooo good. Viola Davis favorited it. It may not sound like much, Viola and Shonda have it Thursday night with their twitter game... they just have it. Lol. And they are likely to respond back, but still. It nice when famous people interact and I don't think I've ever had someone of that level of fame interact with me anywhere... so that was a success story. My mom was really proud of me. If you read this Ms. Davis, you made my mom proud of me lol.

Also THAT FINALE WAS INSANELY GOOD! AS WAS THE PARKS AND REC FINALE! Omg! Such good shows guys! I can't wait for next season of HTGAWM, I also can't wait for Parks to be on DVD! Omg I also need last season if anyone wants to buy me these? Lol that'd be cool. I'm just exploiting my blog for gifts... thats all lol.

So yeah... I think thats it. I had to watch Two and A Half Men to do a review on that finale which was unfortunate. But yeah.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
