Weekly Favorites and book and random stuff haul (8/17/15)

So I just did an it list... but I bought some random things and some books and I thought I'd include them in with my favorites because I love them all... lol.

Haul 
So I got 2 Funko Pop figures at Barnes and Noble. I've always wanted to start collecting these and... idk when I saw these at Barnes and Noble I was like "you know what I'm getting a couple!" So I got a minion... of corse! I got the Au Natural Minion, which is a Naked Minion that proves Evolution is real and its really funny. I also got a Sadness from Inside Out. I think she's really cute and she kind of looks like me... lol I have similar hair and glasses, and I don't wear turtlenecks... but I kind of look like her. Also Inside Out was such a great movie. The more I think about it... the more I love it and it reminded me of how much I love Pixar and all their movies and I wanted to work for them as a child and I still kind of do. I would love to write an animated movie for Pixar or Illumination... that would be so cool.

Also from Barnes and Noble I got a few books. This is from a different trip... but still I figure I'll mention them. I got The Scorch Trials, which is the book I'm currently reading and I'll mention in my favorites... it was on my It List. Its the 2nd Maze Runner book and the movie comes out in September.

I also got The Royal Wedding  Princess Diaries Book. I love the Princess Diaries. I cannot wait to read this... I'm really excited for this.

And from Target another toy I got is a little mini set of minion toys with a background scene and carrying case for them. It was like 2.99 I got the Napoleon Minion set, which I thought was really cool.

Favorites 

The X Files Season 4 episode 2: Home- This episode... I always liked but I was kind of afraid of watching it again because A) Its a really scary episode. This is a straight up horror episode... it isn't even paranormal but its very x files. B) I thought I would think there's too much shock value and not enough plot for an X Files episode. I thought it wouldn't live up to my expectations.

Boy was I wrong. It did a great job of kind of balancing the humor with the scariness and it was just really a good episode. Its definitely one of the most controversial episodes on television. Its not for everyone, if you don't like horror movies... don't watch this one. It is scary, it isn't like an "I can watch this and go to bed" type of thing. If you love X Files and see this you might be like "what the hell did I just watch" because it is very dark and the tone is very different. Its a serious episode with the themes of incest, murder, racism... its deep.

The Scorch Trials- I know I mentioned this in my It List... but I keep going back and forth if I love it or if I don't like it as much as Maze runner... but I've just got to the part where Thomas meets Brenda... I like her. She's crazy, but she's daring and sexy and cool. I'm a fan. I'm interested to see where exactly its going cause these books are not predictable at all. And when a book is predictable to me, it isn't really a bad thing. I'm a writer, I predict things, so the fact that this continuously surprises me and I have no idea where its going is pretty good.

Starbucks Mugs: You Are Here Collection- I'm kind of big on collecting mugs. No real reason, they're just always useful, easy to find and I think starting your day off with a coffee in a cute mug is the way to do it. Recently I saw that Starbucks had a New Jersey mug, which I think is new and I really liked it, it was really cute, and I was having a bad day one day and my dad got it for me because he's an amazing dad. And he got me the New York one too because he goes to work in New York and as I mentioned, world's greatest dad... lol. The sad thing is I've been to Starbucks in several different countries and cities and they didn't have these there at the time... but I don't think the times I've been to those countries or cities will be my last. I love traveling and would really like to go back to England, Germany and other places. Plus its like a sense of comfort that you can pretty much find a Starbucks anywhere in the world. I think thats kind of funny to be like "I went all the way to Germany and all I got was this stupid Starbucks Mug" but you know... thats kind of a cool thing to because it is so familiar.


And I kind of want to do a song of the week in these weekly favorites too... just cause thats another level. Lol. This is just something I heard on the radio today (sunday) and its a really great song so I'm sharing it.

Song of The Week: My Cherie Amour- Stevie Wonder

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

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
