Weekly Wrap Up: 11/1/15

Happy November guys! My birthday week is over :( But here are a few of my favorite things from the last week of my birthday month.

Favorites 
I think all my favorites are food... not gonna lie I ate a lot this week... errr.

Starbucks Pumpkin Latte Iced Coffee- So at the grocery store you can actually get the PSL's in the iced version like the Frappuccino's. Its pretty good! Its good for a little pumpkin spice fix at home. It's also good if you like Egg Nog and stuff and just want a little fix of something like that. Its just a nice little pick me up. I like these... wish they had these when I was in College... lol.

Wegman's Colby Jack Pre Cut Cheese- Lol cut the cheese. Lol. I always make that joke. I love Cheese and crackers and I have that for lunch sometimes. I think this is new that they actually have the cracker cheese in pre cut slices. That's pretty cool. Its just hie that they have it already cut and ready to serve. This would be great for holiday parties, its officially thanksgiving month... so keep that in mind if you want that for your Thanksgiving party. It tastes really good too.

Cadbury Scream Eggs- These are awesome. I love that you can get Cadbury Eggs at times other than easter. If you really want them all year round, I'm going to shout out my favorite dessert from probably the best restaurant ever... Valenca in Easton PA. I'm a little biased because my cousin is the chef... but she's an amazing chef and she has the best dessert which is a dessert take on a Scotch Egg, so its a Cadbury Scotch Egg. Its amazing. She comes up with the best stuff... and this is especially good. Random mention, but it would be a disservice to you if I didn't mention this while talking about Cadbury Eggs.

The Something Rotten Soundtrack- Obviously after just seeing Something Rotten I'm still pretty obsessed because its amazing. I've been singing it around the house, looking up things on youtube... things like that. I don't even know a favorite song or character... I love It's Hard to Be The Bard... I like God I hate Shakespeare, It's a Musical, Welcome to The Renaissance. I need to actually download the soundtrack still... but yeah. Its good.

Snapple Fall Spice Tea- Another good seasonal drink from Snapple! This has orange and cranberry and spices and it just tastes nice and refreshing. It just has a great fall flavor that I really enjoy.

Highlights 
I didn't do much this week. On Friday I went to Starbucks and tried the Frappula Frappuccino, which was great. Plus I went to Target, and to dinner with my parents and then later I went to my friends new house, which was really cool.

And Saturday was Halloween! We had company over to my house for Ziti, which has become a tradition for us and then I went out with my friends and dressed up as Chanel #3 from Scream Queens.

What I watched 
I watched The Chew... which I usually watch if I'm home for it. This week was especially good cause its Halloween.

I watched Jane The Virgin. Really love this show. I wasn't feeling this season as much as last season, but Jane is one of my favorite characters and its fun to see her as a mom now. Its such a good show! The second episode was really funny with Bachelorette Jane and the third episode was really good too! I hope Luisa's okay! Slight Spoilers... lol. She was funny with the kidnappers though! She's really good at playing "the fool" kind of sort of. Other than Rugellio. (I hope I'm spelling that right. Lo siento.)

I watched the beginning of Dancing With The Stars, which isn't a show I really like... but I wanted to see the halloween dances. I thought it was good. Bindi Irwin is totally going to win. Nick Carter was bad. I don't know many of the "stars" oddly the dancers are more famous than a lot of the stars.

I watched Supergirl... which was on at a weird time last night which is why I was confused and watched Dancing With The Stars. And I have a review on that right here. I liked it, I think I was comparing it too much to similar shows though... so yeah.

I actually watched Legally Blonde the Musical which is on youtube. I don't think its supposed to be on youtube for free... MTV showed it years ago and I liked it. It wasn't as good as the movie, but I loved it because Christian Borle was in it and he played Shakespeare in Something Rotten and he was really good. This movie just works really well as a play and I like that.


I also watched Crazy Ex Girlfriend, which I liked a lot. I'm all caught up on that. Its good.

I watched The Muppets, Fresh off The Boat and Wicked City. I liked The Muppets and Fresh Off The Boat... I'll have a review of Wicked City coming up, but... didn't love it.

I watched The Middle, The Goldbergs some of Modern Family (which was a repeat) and Blackish. All funny... I liked them all, couldn't even pick a favorite! Blackish wasn't as funny as last years episode... but it was still really good.

I also watched American Horror Story... I thought it was a really cool episode.... I'll have more on that later. And I watched last week's Scream Queens again because why not.

Thursday I watched TGIT... which had Charlie Brown instead of Grey's Anatomy... which I kind of preferred... lol. And then Scandal which was great. I liked seeing Mellie and Olivia's exchanges... I like that Olivia is still kind of in love with Jake and I just thought it was good.

Friday I watched the Leah Remini special... at least part of it at my friends house and Shark Tank.

And Saturday I watched Batman Returns and some other Halloween shows, including some of the shows I watched during the week. And I'm also re-watching the beginning of Scream Queens and picking up on more clues... Might have a post on that that I'll write when the finale is on... This is turning into a Ryan Murphy blog... I don't know how I feel about that lol.

And now I'm watching Hocus Pocus... so I'm gonna leave! 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...

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...

September 2015: It List

Now that I do weekly favorites, I feel like these will be less surprising... but still. Some good things. 1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes- Its the most wonderful latte of the year! Lol. All the yes. Soooo much yes. Its so creamy and pumpkiny and delicious. It was what has been missing from my life for a long time and now its back and I think they get more and more delicious every year. And I know last year people were like "pumpkin spice isn't cool anymore." Have you had any? It is delicious!!!! I'm a big fan of the PSL. 2) Arrow- I've been wanting to watch this show for a while. The guy that plays Oliver is not only hot, but he was really funny and good on a talk show I saw him on... so that made me like "ohh I need to watch this." I'm also not super into comic books or anything, but I do like Batman and DC movies at least more than anything else and I didn't really realize that there were so many tv shows in the DC universe right now. There are a f...
