Weekly Wrap Up- 3.16.16

Favorites 
Wicked Soundtrack- I've clearly been especially into musicals lately... and I decided I wanted to listen to the Wicked Soundtrack... and I love it. It makes me kind of weirdly emotional. I want to read the book soon, even though I know the book is different. I kind of want to see the play again too... lol. Maybe eventually. Idk I saw it when I was a teenager and I kind of want to see it as a grown up. Its got such good music and from what I remember its the best set and the best effects for a play ever. So yeah. Not the most fun musical I've ever seen... but its good.

I'm a little disappointed that the soundtrack is so short though. It only has 12 songs... what the heck? Hamilton has so many! Lol.

Something Rotten Soundtrack- This I started listening to after I got bored with Hamilton too... lol. I loveee this play. The cast is the best I've ever seen... so the soundtrack is perfect! My favorite song this week has been Right Hand Man. I sang Make an Omlette this week too... lol. Great musical!

Periscope- I've talked about this before, but I just dig periscope! I might start scoping myself because everyone makes it look so fun!


News 
Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron lost his mother this week and shared some pictures of them together on his social media.Thoughts are with him and his family this week.

Also former first lady, Nancy Reagan passed away this week. She is predeceased by her husband Ronald Reagan of corse... she is remembered for her "Just Say No" campaign against drugs. On the news today they reported on a note that Ronald Reagan once wrote to her that just said the words "I love you" over and over again. So sweet. She was 94 years old.

Lena Dunham went into surgery this week for a  ruptured Ovarian Cyst. Very scary, thoughts are with her as well.

More lighthearted news, Johnny Depp appeared on The Walking Dead this weekend. Apparently... he didn't survive the zombie apocalypse. A replica of his head... but severed was seen on the show.

Peyton Manning announced his retirement. Many speculated this after his Super Bowl win. He is the oldest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl, or to be in a Super Bowl... so it made sense for him to retire on a high note. There has also been some controversy over sexual harassment and beliefs that he may have been taking steroids... which it seems no one was reporting about, but they did on the CBS This Morning morning show... so that makes sense.

Maria Sharapova admits to failing a drug test and she says Gob Bluth's line "I've made a huge mistake." and things like "I didn't know that was illegal" and I think she's going to get away with it by smiling and being pretty...


World Events 
There was a democratic debate this week between Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in Flint Michigan, which of corse is in a crisis recently because of water that has been contaminated with led. On Snapchat they showed residents were able to get water bottles from the red cross... there were several water distribution centers in the area. Someone said that it was like "putting a bandaid on an amputee." Which is a good metaphor for it.

There were lots of other debates and Caucuses too. Its scary and exciting to see.

I think it was the last few days of the  Paris fashion show.
Highlights 
I went to the mall on Tuesday and Wednesday... and today. Fun stuff. I went to target a lot this week too... lots of shopping.

Noteworthy Snacks 
I had Perogies from this place called Bahrs. I've had them before, they're on their Oktoberfest menu... but they're still on the menu now. I think they'll be gone soon... but I love them.

I had bread pudding this week, which was interesting and delicious.

I feel like thats all the noteworthy snacks... lol.

TV Highlights 
Quantico came back! I'm already confused and excited! Lol. For those of you that don't know... I love Quantico and its probably my favorite drama this year... but I have almost no idea whats going on in it... lol.

Most everything else was a repeat.

Thoughts 
I feel like I really tried this week and I did good. Lol. I wrote a lot, I started a new beauty review based instagram and I feel like I've been trying a lot and loving things a lot. And I've been proud of myself. I wrote a lot of blogs that will be going up in May because I've decided not to blog in May... and I've just felt very creative... So I would recommend trying this week. Lol.

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
