Weekly Wrap Up! 10/18/15

Hello guys! My birthday Week Weekly Wrap Up! Yayyy!

Favorites 
Plants vs. Zombies Vasebreaker Mini Game- I talked about this in my It List... but I am hooked on this game right now! And there are so many times I'll be like "I really don't like app games, its boring you just click your phone" but then other times I get really into them and that's all I'll do for hours... and this is one of those times. The vase breaker game is specifically fun because its so hard. You don't know where the big zombie is and you don't know where the plants are you need to beat him... and its just so fun and suspenseful and hard but satisfying to win... I just love it.

Crazy Ex Girlfriend- Just saw the first episode and I'll have a review up on Tuesday... but this show is so good! I'm loving it so far! I think its really different and its well done. This could have been a complete disaster if they did it wrong, but they got it 100% right and I think it worked really really well. Definitely check it out. Watch the first episode, don't just tune in on Monday... I think the exposition of the reasoning why she's crazy and why she's singing is just kind of brilliant and to me that makes the show.

She Wants Revenge- After seeing the AHS scene where they played them I was like "alright" and then I kept listening to other songs of theirs. I had heard of this band before, but didn't like their rendition of Kidnap The Sandy Claws on the Nightmare Revisited soundtrack (the first one)... and yeah. They seem way too dark and sexy to do a song from a kids movie and have it be good... so thats kind of what they're about. Their songs are scary but good.

Highlights 
Monday I just stayed home. I think I got up early, got stuff done... dressed up as Miss Piggy... but that was it.

Tuesday I went to Wall Mart and got Earmuffs for my halloween costume... guess who I'm going as...  And some other things.

Wednesday I ate Cheese fries, pasta and had a PSL... always good day.

Thursday went shopping for bday presents, lots of fun.

Friday was the big day! I ate pizza with my family and friends and had a great day! I also went to a huge haunted house thats near me. Its just at a really giant creepy place in general. If you're in the Jersey area, I'm sure you know where it is.

And Saturday I did nothing and ate lasagna... which was a lot of fun. I started playing with my new fitbit too!

Random Haul 
It was my birthday, so these are gifts. I'm not bragging or anything, I just think they're really cool things and cute and I wanted to share them with you, if you're looking for a gift these are some good ideas.

Now the big thing my parents got me were tickets to go see Something Rotten, which I'm doing soon. Expect a review in the near future maybe.

My sister got me a Fitbit! Which I'm really excited about. I don't know anything about it or how to set it up yet... but I'm definitely going to put it to good use and set it up and use it a lot. That was a surprise that I'm really really excited about.

Some family friends of mine got me Aziz Ansari's book Modern Romance and Mindy Kaling's new book, Why Not Me. I'm really excited to read those. I've been wanting them for a long time.

And I got a minion bucket, which is absolutely adorable. I'm going to fill it with stuff... don't know what yet... but stuff! Lol. I have a minion box that says "All in favor say 'eye!'"And thats really cute. A minion bag which just has a lot of minions on it, its super cute. And a Minion Wind Friend, which you can use for a lot of different things. I'm probably going to hang it up in my room somewhere because I'm an adult and need minion somewhere in my room, but it can also go on kites or you can use it as a flag outside or something, which is really cool.


What I watched 

I watched Quantico... such a great show! I'm starting to love this! If you were to pick one new show to watch... I would say Scream Queens... but I think Quantico can appeal to everyone really. This week was my favorite episode so far. The pieces are really coming together and its getting really really good.

I watched American Horror Story... I'm re-watching every season week by week... so that's hard and nearly impossible, but if you want to see how all the seasons are connected... that's one way to do it. Lol.

Crazy Ex Girlfriend obvs... that was good. Jane The Virgin was really good, I'm so happy its back!

The Muppets was really great this week, Fresh Off The Boat was super funny. Scream Queens was really great... might have been my least favorite episode so far... idk why, I just didn't feel the twists were quite as exciting as last weeks... but we learned a lot. I kind of think Nick Jonas's character is the baby and Gigi is helping him... but Zayday looked really suspicious in this episode and Chanel #3 was a little more in charge and that was fun to see. Ohhh wait... can't be Nick Jonas he's a boy, the baby was a girl. Unless there's a sleep away camp type thing going on with his character? Maybe. I also thought Gigi's involvement was a little predictable just from this episode though. Cause the killer never kills her, but they always come close.

I also was thinking maybe it was the guy that approached Zayday about being President of KKT... that would make sense. And it'd make sense that he and Zayday would be working with Gigi because she's concerned about Kappa also... idk. It wasn't a bad episode, I just didn't think it was the best of the season. I think last week's episode was my favorite. I could have used more Chanel in this episode. Maybe thats it. I'm not sure... either way I like it.

I watched ABC's Wednesday night shows and AHS, which was really scary and good this week. I'll have a fuller review on that on my AHS rematch post, which I think will be up next Friday or Saturday.

I watched TGIT... cannot WAIT for next week's How To Get Away With Murder. It looks really really good.

And Saturday I watched the first episodes of Grandfathered and The Grinder again. It was good!

Byeee!

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...
