Scribbles About Music: SWAAY EP by DNCE

So one of my favorite songs on the radio right now is Cake by the Ocean from DNCE, aka Nick Jonas' super cool dance band. And I was kinda sad to see they only had an EP with 4 songs on it... I'm excited to hear more of them because... all the songs were pretty great!

Cake By The Ocean 
I love this song. It makes me want to dance and it makes me happy and I want to eat Cake by The Ocean. Lol. Any time this is on the radio I get really excited. I was never a big fan of the Jonas Brothers... but Nick Jonas kinda reminds me of Gabe Saporta from Cobra Starship. He just has a sexy voice and he's having fun with that... so I really like this song cause it makes me fangirl in a way I usually only do for Gabe Saporta.

Pay My Rent 
This is a really cool analogy. This EP is great with analogies. Lol. So he wants to be with this girl all the time, so he's saying "pay my rent" because that's like what he wants of her love... very unique lol. I don't totally get it... but its a nice song. Probably my least favorite on the album, but that's okay. It's still really good.

Toothbrush 
Never thought a song called Toothbrush by one of the Jonas Brothers would be one of the sexiest songs ever... but it definitely is. Its about leaving a toothbrush at a guys place... again so simple, but its really sexy and very simple. Its cute. I dig it. I'm listening to this now. This might be my 2nd favorite on the album... I think Cake By The Ocean is definitely the best.

And this sorta reminds me of Gym Class Heroes and Maroon 5. You know that song Clothes Off by Gym Class Heroes? Its kinda like that... forgot how much I liked GCH too!

Jinx 
This is the sweet song of the EP and one I can totally relate to. He (when I say "he" I mean the narrator of the song... which could be anyone really.) And its something I can relate to as I said before... and it makes sense to me. Everything feels to perfect, and you don't want to mess anything up so you just kinda lay low and play cool till you can be sure. And it says its like a birthday wish, you can't say it out loud. It actually kinda reminds me of a poem I wrote in high school too. Lol. This kinda has special meaning to me... maybe tied for 2nd... or 1st? Lol. It has a kazoo type of sound too that I think is really cool.

So yes. I'm in love with Nick Jonas, we're probably soul mates... We're going to have a Scream Queens Murder Mystery Wedding... and it'll be great. Definitely recommend checking out the EP before the wedding though. Wait how old is Nick Jonas? Ohhh okay he's 23... only a little younger than me... we can do this. Lol.

Bye!

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...

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
