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!

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

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
