Chart Chat: 11/30/15

Lets see what songs and movies people talked about at Thanksgiving Dinner and maybe saw this weekend.

Music 

5) Confident by Demi Lovato- This song is awesome. I was trying on bridesmaid dresses and then this song came on and I was like "Yassss" and my sister was like "I still like the other one better" lol. That story should be coming up soon. I feel a little old liking Demi Lovato... but she's awesome. I like her a lot now.

4) Hotline Bling by Drake- Not a fan. I've talked about this on chart chats before... but it just isn't something I'd download or listen to... ever. Lol. Drake has a different sort of vibe. He isn't really a rapper... but he isn't really a singer either. I like when they do the Adele mashups of this though. Adele even thinks its funny... so thats awesome.

3) Love Yourself by Justin Bieber- I haven't heard this song yet and don't really want to click on the sample right now cause I want to write this in a hurry... I don't hate the new Justin Bieber. I have to admit, I didn't love What Do You Mean at first... but I've gotten used to it. And I've heard he's actually a nice guy... so that makes me feel not embarrassed to like him either. I'm still a little embarrassed because a few years ago I hated everything he stood for... but now he seems okay. I think he's trying to calm down and he still seems like a brat to me... but idk. He seems good to his fans and kind of down to earth.

2) Sorry by Justin Bieber- Same deal. Haven't heard this one yet either... but I'm impressed with Justin Bieber's change. Lol. It took a while for me to like What Do You Mean. I put it in a terrible lyric analysis, I've talked about not liking it in Chart Chat's previously... now I'm okay with it.

1) Hello by Adele- This sounds different than other Adele songs... which is good. Adele is very talented... but she gets very overplayed, so its hard for me to actually like her. I worked retail during the peak of her career... we played her a lot. All her songs, some remixes, some Glee covers... it was a lot to handle. Not bad... but yeah. This one is good... but I'm already almost tired of it.

Movies 

5) The Peanut's Movie- I still need to see this movie! It's gotten okay reviews, but I'm a big peanuts fan and I think the animation looks awesome and I really like Paul Feig. I think it looks cute. Its never as good as the original... but its good. I love the message behind all the Peanut's holiday specials and I think its just nice that they're still relevant... and I can still sit down and watch them today and crack up laughing. It didn't come out in my generation, I'm sort of a grown up now... and its just still as entertaining to me as any regular TV show. Who's your favorite character besides Snoopy? Mine is definitely Sally. She's just so sassy. I love her. Lol.

4) Spectre- This is the first time I think I've ever kind of wanted to see all 5 of the top movies. I like James Bond, I need to see some of the older ones cause I saw one of the Sean Connory ones not long ago and it was good. Daniel Craig is hot, and a good actor and a good Bond. I hope he doesn't just entirely quit acting after Bond. I know he won't... but I think he's good and would like to see him in other roles too. Again, hot.

3) Creed- I had no interest in seeing this, but it is getting amazing reviews and even Oscar Buzz! I really hope Sly wins... mostly because I do a surprisingly good Sylvester Stallone impression for a 24 year old girl... and I think his acceptance speech would be amazing. Michael B. Jordan is also in this. He was Wallace on The Wire aka the SADDEST TV death ever! But yeah. This doesn't look bad at all, and apparently it isn't.

2) The Good Dinosaur- So this movie looks really cute. I love Pixar movies, I'm probably going to see it sometime this week. I thought this would be #1 because its such a good time for a fun family movie... but I guess these are all almost family friendly movies... lol nothing rated R. This looked like it was more for kids than for grown ups... but it still looked good and I still have to see it. It's Pixar!

1) The Hunger Games Mockingjay pt. 2- I love The Hunger Games books. I just saw Mockingjay part 1 and I liked that... I'll honestly probably wait till this is out on DVD to see it... just cause I get a little freaked out at popular movies. And Mockingjay was my least favorite book. Catching Fire is probably my favorite. I liked the way it ended and everything... I just like when they're in the games.

So that is everything! Hope you guys like it!

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...
