Scribbles About TV: The Real O'neals

So when I saw the commercials for this I thought it looked like the worst show of all time... and it actually wasn't! It wasn't the greatest show of all time or anything... but it certainly wasn't bad.

So the show follows this teenager mostly and he knows he's gay but isn't ready to come out of the closet yet... and I thought that seemed really real. I've never been through that situation so I can't really tell... but it felt very repressed and awkward and to me it felt like he was learning it about himself instead of just coming out to everyone else. I don't know... it was interesting.

One thing I kinda had a problem with but also sort of liked was the male anorexia thing... I think its powerful to have it in the show and I applaud them for that... but I don't think it should be something that should really make fun of. I feel like male anorexia is probably almost as common as female anorexia but males don't always talk about things. I don't know. But it definitely happens often... so cool that they acknowledge it... but idk. I didn't laugh at the "man anorexia" joke... and then they sort of ignored it and it just wasn't my favorite thing about the show.

Also... I didn't like Shannon. I love that there is a character named Shannon. I've been waiting my whole life for a character named Shannon... and I like that she's smart... but she's such a weirdo! Lol. I think I'll end up liking her. I can't stand the commercials with the "I made it in woodshop" thing... ugh. I don't even want to explain it... don't google it its gross. Lol.

And I kind of like shows where they are like "our family is a bunch of weirdos, but that's why we love them." And I didn't really get that from the mom in this show... which I think is a real situation that a lot of moms probably have. And there are a lot of things you just don't say. Very repressed... which I think most people are in some way or another. So... that makes sense.

I also just kind of didn't think the dad and the oldest son were that funny. They weren't bad, I think they'll have funnier situations... but yeah.

There were also dream sequences... idk. It wasn't the funniest... I feel like they'll get better though. It was a little weird and random... but it was creative.

Overall... I think it'll get a lot better. I would watch this again, I have faith in this show. It has good moments... I kinda think it's not boring. I think it'll be solid next year.

So yeah. I'm happy it didn't suck! Lol. I liked it! Kind of. Haha.

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...
