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

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
