Tag Tuesday: The Hamilton Tag

I really like Tags now apparently. I saw this tag over here and decided to do the tag! 
1) How did you find out about Hamilton?

I heard about it when it was first out... maybe before it was on broadway? On a radio station they said it was an amazing rap musical about Alexander Hamilton and the owner of Jouer, Christina, mentioned it in one of her snapchats and I took note of that. I'm a fan of musicals, but I had seen In The Heights and sometimes hip hop and rap are a little harder to understand on stage so I was like "Well... I'll just listen to the soundtrack and see if I like it." And I listened to it in like January or February while cleaning my room during a snow storm... and then I listened to it again and again and again... and I've been obsessed ever since then and now I would LOVE to see it live. I don't think I will anytime soon... but I'd LOVE too! 

Also I didn't realize Lin Manuel Miranda did both In The Heights and Hamilton... and I'm happy I didn't know that because In The Heights wasn't really my favorite. I was young when I saw it and it was the saddest musical I had seen at that point (besides Into The Woods.) And yeah. After seeing Something Rotten I wanted to get more into broadway musicals, so that kind of helped too. 

2) Favorite Character?
This changes ALL THE TIME. Not even joking. When I first started listening to it it was Anjelica, then it was Washington, Burr, Hamilton... everyone. Right now I'm very into the Thomas Jefferson songs, so I would say him. Ultimately though, its Anjelica. I love her, I'm thinking of being Anjelica for Halloween. Girls are probably already looking for Slutty Lobster costumes and I'm like "I'm going as a colonial woman!" Lol. 

3) Character you would want to play?
Anjelica or Lafayette. I could also see being Maria Reynolds cause I can do her voice and I'd also be Peggy... and that seems fun to me. 

4) Favorite song to listen to?
This changes often too... I know my actual favorite though, but my favorite of the moment is definitely We Know. That song is so cleverly written. I just love it. But my actual hands down favorite of all time is The Room Where It Happens. That song just has a lot going for it. 

5) Favorite song to sing along with?
The Schuyler Sisters probably. Anytime I hear people say "All Men are Created Equal" I go "And when I meet Thomas Jefferson, Imma compel him to include women in the sequel! Work!" 

6) Part you always mess up when you're singing along?
I mess up a lot. "The 10 dollar founding father without a father got a lot farther by..." what? Lol. Also I can't do Eliza's voice. I've gotten better... but I'm pretty bad at being Eliza. 

7) Can you rap guns and ships?
Yes! Kind of!I need to perfect it because I want to learn the full thing! But I'm getting pretty good at it. Also My Shot I'm pretty good at. 

8) Which cast member would you most want to meet?
Lin Manuel Miranda. I would love to work with him, he's an awesome guy. Anyone really. I love Leslie Odom Jr... also Jonathan Groff and Brian D'arcy James who I believe played the Original King George and also was the lead of Something Rotten when I saw it/ the original cast... so he'd be cool to meet too. 

9) Have you seen the show?
No :( 10) Have you read the book?
No, but I think I have it in the house somewhere. My dad read it years ago I think. 

11) Favorite line in the show?

"If you got skin in the game you stay in the game, but you ain't gonna win unless you playin the game. You get love for it, you get hate for it, you get nothin if you wait for it." 

"Teach them how to say goodbye" - I'm playing this at my funeral. 

Dear Theodosia has some good ones, Yorktown. 

"How do you assume you're the smartest in the room?" 

The lines that are from Macbeth. 

"I'm a general wheeee!" 

"I probably shouldn't brag, but dag I amaze and astonish." 

I could probably list every line of every song. 

12)Five words to describe the show?
Dang, it amazes and Astonishes.

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
