Weekly Wrap Up-6.12.16

Favorites

Grace and Frankie- I love this show! I just started watching Season 2 on Friday. Its so funny already but there's also a lot of heart and its just a good show. Nonstop laughs... but there are serious moments too... which I love. If it gets too serious, not my favorite... but nonstop laughs with the serious... totally my favorite! Lol. This is a pretty underrated gem of Netflix. I feel like people my age would pass it up for something else... but its so funny and so good. Marta Kauffman, who was a co-creator of friends is a co-creator on this too... so if you like Friends you should watch it!

Coloring books- I found a coloring book at a dollar store... and I've been loving it! Its so relaxing to just color! I thought the coloring books were a gimmick... but then I tried it and I really think its nice. Some days you just have to sit down and do nothing but color. Its so much fun. And this book had some really pretty pages! I have a DIY of how to make your own coloring book... but that can get stressful and its much easier to color someone else's lol. I like having my own designs to color... but this is way easier and less stressful.

Comedy Bang Bang- Long favorite... I think this was a favorite last week too? Not sure. I've been catching up on the podcast lately. So that's been fun, I've been really liking it.

News and World Events

This week the world went crazy over a garlic bread meme that some found offensive... I wanted to do a whole post on it... but I don't really want to get anyone upset. Lol... I'll give the short version though. There is a group called Garlic Bread Memes where people are crazy about Garlic Bread and share their love of Garlic bread by posting memes about them. Someone posted one saying that there were only 2 genders... and it was weird. I think it was meant to be satirical and not harmful, although I didn't agree with what the meme was saying. I think its the weirdest article on the internet... so yeah. There's that.

In sad music news, Christina Grimmie from The Voice was shot and killed after a concert... Blake Shelton has commented that he is "Disgusted and heartbroken" over her death, as I'm sure we all are. There's too much senseless violence in the world it needs to stop.

Slightly more happy news, President Obama's oldest daughter Malia graduated from High School this week. The President said he would have to wear thick sunglasses so that no one could see him crying. He also declined to speak at the graduation because he would be too emotional. Its nice to see when the president is just a regular person, just like any other dad. Sweet.

And Muhammad Ali had his funeral this weekend. Billy Crystal spoke at it, Will Smith was there and said it was beautiful. It seemed like it was a great way to celebrate his life.

The Queen Celebrated her 90th birthday and Princess Charlotte made her first public appearance... looking beautiful!

Thoughts

Life is funny and unexpected. I've had a lot of blogs scheduled for the week... but I either didn't get around to writing them, or I was inspired by other thing. For What's Up Wednesday, I literally just came up with the name and started writing. And I think it was better for that.

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...
