Throwback Thursday: Games

So when its cold outside, I don't really love going out... and a lot of times I'll just stay home, listen to podcasts and play games on the computer. And There is always a bit of nostalgia because I don't play these gams often but yeah.

First off the big throwbacks are the Disney Channel Games that I pretty much grew up with as a kid. I started playing the game 625 Sandwich Stacker because at the time I'd been playing a lot of Sky Burger, which I mentioned in my January It List I believe... anyway I started playing this again... and its fun but it isn't that interesting. Its maybe a little harder than Sky Burger because you can't stack things up too high, but its also super easy to just make a really small sandwich, get a few points and then just move to the next round, so I kind of like that Sky Burger forces you to make certain kinds of burgers. Its still really fun though, its cute and it brings back fond memories.

I also played some Kim Possible games. I started off with Bueno Rufus... which is an incredibly stressful game to me. Its like you work at a fast food place and you have to get a certain number of orders ready and it gets really hard when they give you two things because they're fast and far apart. And then I think of all the customers getting the wrong order and they must be really sad... another thing i dislike about Sky Burger lol. Very sad. At least in 625 Sandwich Stacker, you're just making your own sandwich. You have some control. Lol.

Most recently I've really been liking Minion Rush. They did some updates to it recently that I wasn't really all that fond of... but i've gotten more used to it and I'm playing it quite a bit now and I've really been liking it. Its fun and addictive.

I've also been liking some word games. I started playing flower garden and text twist and now i'm playing bookwork, which is probably more well known. Idk its just fun. I always feel so stupid because my words are so short. Lol.

And I used to really like Burger Shop 2, which is the same sort of concept as Bueno Rufus, but not quite as stressful. You need to make the food for customers and sometimes they get angry and leave and sometimes they are more patient. Fun game, good to play on cold days...

And not a lot, but I have been playing some of an ipad app called "all in one solitaire, which just has a bunch of solitaire games. My favorites are Penguin, Gaps, Accordian, and Crescent. Its not easy to win any of these, but they're still fun to play.

So that is everything! Hope everyone is having a fun Throwback Thursday. Do you play any of these games? Let me know!

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...
