Weekly Favorites: August 23, 2015. + More random stuff and Funko Pop Haul

So its weekly Favorites time! I feel like I knew my favorites pretty early this week, so I'm just going to hop right into it.

Bojack Horesman- I love this show. Its one of my favorites and because I was watching The X Files so much, I hadn't seen the second season right away... but right now I'm caught up on The X Files Files and I sort of want to slow down on watching them... just a little bit, so that gave me some time to catch up on Season 2 of Bojack Horseman... and it is just as funny and sad as Season 1... if not more so!

This show is really one of the most unique shows ever. It has horse and animals as people and its really really funny, but its also very melancholy. Its kind of like real life. You can have all the fame and fortune you want and still be unhappy, and Bojack is and its sad. These characters all have real problems and its sad to watch... but at the same time its too funny to really be a dark comedy. Its just a really fantastic, well written unique comedy with the dark themes of real life. Its pretty much as funny as it is dark, so it balances out well.

Its not something everyone will like, but its something I feel like a lot of people would. If you like Archer, this is kind of like Archer, just a little darker. But Archer is pretty dark for a comedy too, so its interesting. Its layered.

Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot- I've been so excited for this new Princess Diaries book and it did not disappoint! So far at least, I have like 30-something pages left. Its got a lot going on and there are a lot of twists and... its just been a really fun and funny summer read. Just like the other books! I think this is my favorite because the end is so happy and I hope she continues with the series a little more! I'm sure she will!

Pumpkin Spice Shreded Mini Wheats Cereal- My mom just found this today and it is fantastic. Its the frosted mini wheats from pos, which are something we never ate that much... but with a pumpkin frosting that I really like. These taste good and they have quite a lot of fiber in them... so you know its good for you and stuff. Lol. Its really yummy and I like it. Might have some for dinner cause I had a big lunch.

Random Stuff Haul! 

So at Barnes and Noble Last Week I saw a notebook that said "Evil Schemes" on it and my mom was nice enough to get it for me this week! Its just a really cute idea to get someone for back to school... especially when that someone loves minions. I keep it in my purse. Lol. Its fun.

I also got a charlie Brown Sweatshirt from Forever 21... because why not! I thought it was cute and I probably won't wear it out of the house, but its comfy and I might sleep in it and stuff. Its adorable.

And from Hot Topic I went in there looking for the "Gone Batty" Funko Pop minion, which is the Dracula one... I didn't see it but everything was buy one get one half off, so I looked at the other Funkos and I saw Joy from Inside Out... which I kind of wanted and Special Agent Fox Mulder from The X Files... so I got them because I haven't seen Mulder before and I wanted him and I was a little bummed they didn't have Scully... but whatever. I was happy with Mulder and Joy.

Then I walk out and I saw the Gone Batty Minion and they had a bunch of them near the window... so of corse I had to buy it! I didn't get anything else half off, but the dracula minion is my favorite... and I wanted it. So in like a week I know have quite a nice Funko collection. They're addictive. Lol.


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...

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
