Throwback Thursday: Rewatching The Office

Going to take a break from my regularly Scheduled Scribbles About Music Throwback to bring you this! I'm re-watching the Office and it might be even better than the first time I watched it, to be honest!

I have The Office on DVD... and I have a DVD player... so I don't really know why I decided to watch it on Netflix... but I did and I'm loving it. If you liked The Office watching it the first time around... you might like it even better watching it a second time. Its still exciting to me to see Jim and Pam becoming a couple and Dwight and Angela and I'm almost at the point where Michael and Jan get together... it just didn't get any less exciting even though I already know what happens.

I also didn't really appreciate the first season... I had only watched it once, I had maybe watched Diversity Day a second time... but for the most part I was just like "meh, not that interesting, I'll skip and watch season 2",,, but Season 1 of The Office is actually pretty fantastic. It sets up a lot of what happens in the next few seasons, even just in the first episode. They already establish that the company can't keep both the Scranton and Stamford branches open and its not looking too good for Dunder Mifflin Scranton... it sets up a lot.

The last episode that I watched was The Fight in Season 2... so I think I'll do a little Top 5 so far, in no particular order.

1) The Dundies 2) Sexual Harassment 3) Diversity Day 4) Hot Girl 5) Office Olympics. We all know the best episodes haven't even happened for me yet (The Injury) but these are some really really good ones.

I love the way that Jim and Pam are shown before they get together too. You think that they're a couple in the first episode or that they're going to get together... but then you meet Pam's fiancé Roy. And you see that The Office is really what was sort of getting them together. And they want to get together on the weekends and stuff but they can't. Its just very well done, and I can see why so many people love the show and really wanted them to get together... I know I did! Lol.

And looking back on it... all the other relationships were done well too. I remember when Andy and Erin were getting together and they were like "ohhh no. It's just another Jim and Pam" and then it wasn't!  And I'm sure they brought Holly on knowing that Steve Carell might leave before the show ended and that was a nice way to get him out of the show. Its just little things like that that I'm sure the writers were mindful of.

Ohhh and Jan and Michael... I thought that was done really well to. Just very funny! I love that Jan was the crazy one...

And all of Michael's bad jokes...  just so funny. And how nervous he was that people would stop liking him. Just a great show with really funny jokes!

Alright... that is everything! I hope you guys liked this if you're fans of The Office, or if you're thinking of rewatching it. I haven't seen every episode still, believe it or not! There are a few episodes I still need to watch in the last few seasons (after it had kinda jumped the shark to be honest.) But I don't think it'll be bad. Its still just a funny show and I like watching it over and over again.

I'm gonna go watch it now... lol.

Bye!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
