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!

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...
