Scribbles About Music: Last Year Was Complicated by Nick Jonas

Alright lets do a little review on the newest from Nick Jonas. I'm a little biased because we all know I'm going to marry Nick Jonas... so yeah.

I think this is a really great album all in all! Its fun to dance to, theres sort of a fun "in and out of love" theme that I think a lot of people can relate to. Lots of fun sexy songs. What a fun, sexy time for you! (name that quote! Hint: It is NOT Borat!) I do have some favorite and least favorite songs and I have some reasons for that.

Lets just start out with my least favorites... cause its not that I don't like the songs, its not that I don't listen to them or sing along to them... but they just aren't really my favorites for one reason or another.

Champagne Problems- I do like this song... idk I just don't feel like I get it. Like I can get what its about and interpret it... it just isn't a really "Shannon" song.

Chainsaw- I like this song but its one of those typical "I'm a child star going to rebel and be a badass in this song to show I'm 22 now song." It reminds me of Ottowanna go to bed from Kroll Show... lol. Its not bad, but it kinda makes me laugh. And I think Nick Jonas has done a great job transitioning to a grown up with little drama. But its like "Ugh I'm just gonna break everything and say the eff word!"  I feel bad writing this because I am such a fan of Nick Jonas and I don't think he is actually like that at all... but thats just what I think of when I hear this song. I appreciate this title because of Scream Queens. Lol.

Bacon- I feel like this just isn't my song. I like Bacon... but it seems like he's going to say "There's one thing I love more than you and that's bacon." I like it, I'll listen to it, I'll sing along even though I sing wrong cause I say "There's one thing I love more than being with you and thats bacon" lol. Idk just a weird thing.

Favorites 

The Difference- This is stuck in my head right now. I really like this song. Its just cool and its a good song. Idk I just like the lyrics, its sexy but its also kinda sweet. Its nice.

Close- How can you not like this one! Its just so good! I usually don't like the singles quite as much, and I thought that I'd be tired of it by now because I've listened to it millions of times... nope! I love it!

Under You- Nick just released a video for this one and I think its awesome! I like the song a lot. Its catchy and goes with the vibe of the album.

Touch- This one is a lot different than the other songs and I think its really good for that. I like how it starts and I just think its good and cute. Lol.

Good Girls- This is one that kinda makes me laugh again... but I think its good. It reminds me of Flight of The Conchords when Jemaine says "Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist but you lovely bitches and ho's should know I'm trying to correct this" lol. He's saying "yeah I'm not objectifying you... but this music video probably has a lot of sexy women in it... and I'm not slut shaming I'm just trying to change society." Type of vibe... which you know what, good for Nick Jonas! I think he is trying to change society. He seems like an awesome dude that is comfortable with himself... so that is really cool!

So yeah. Good summer cd. Some great things to listen to. Really like it!

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...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
