Weekly Wrap Up 9.25.16



Favorites 
Scream Queens- I didn't love the premiere of season 2 quite as much as I loved Season 1... but this is still a great show and possibly my favorite on TV currently. So yeah... it was really really good!

The Good Place- This is my favorite show this year so far! If you like Parks and Rec or Brooklyn 99... You might like this! Same writers I believe. And it wasn't really what I expected at all. There's a lot more plot to it than it seemed from the commercials. It was funny though because in the comments someone said "This is just like the show Selfie" which made me laugh because really Selfie was based off of Pygmalion. I don't think they were really going for a total Pygmalion theme the way that Selfie was... and this is much more creative than Selfie. Its a good spin on that type of story... and I'll have another review on that soon!

Justin Scarred- Justin Scarred is a vlogger that does a lot of Disney vlogs and shows interesting things from around the world... and I've been really into his channel lately. He does the best videos on the Disney Parks, in my opinion. He's funny and he gets beautiful shots of everything and his videos are just a lot of fun.

Salted Caramel Mocha- Haven't had this in years... I had it this week and at first it kinda made me sick... but it was overall delicious!

Life Scribbles
I did this already... 

TV Highlights 
This year, I decided to watch ALL the tv show premieres for the blog... so keep a look out for reviews of the fall schedules for NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox... and maybe I'll do the CW later on. So I've watched a lot of TV This week! 

The Good Place really surprised me... it was really clever and very good. This is Us... also surprised me. I didn't think I'd like it at all... the twist wasn't really a twist... but I liked it a lot anyway... and I just really liked that one. Speechless was pretty good. Kevin Can Wait wasn't the worst thing ever. I think the shows this year look promising. 

I also started watching Lucifer because I wanted to see that from the beginning before doing a review on it... I like that a lot. I watched New Girl and that was really good... again idk why I just stopped watching it, but I'll start again. The Goldbergs was funny. The other ABC shows were okay... The Big Bang Theory was okay.

I watched Supernatural... finished up The Office... there was a lot to watch and I did watch a lot. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

Klondike Bar Mrs. Fields cookie sandwiches and Klondike Bar Oreo sandwiches. I'm just a fan of an Ice Cream sandwich and these are really good.

The Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha. I didn't have this since I was in college because I had one one time with a salted caramel brownie and it was too much and I quickly had to leave one class to go to another class... and it was just wayyyy too much! And I got a Venti and that was also wayyyy too much... but I got a grande today and that was just right. Its not too rich, not too sweet. Just the right amount of flavor and I just like it a lot! It isn't something I can drink quickly and I don't think I would like it cold at all... but I did really love it this week!

News and World Events 
Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt! Jolie has requested physical custody of the couples 6 kids and Pitt would have visitation rights. Apparently Pitt has anger issues, which led to the split... very sad day. I just started to kind of like them as a couple. 

Jim Carey is involved in a wrongful death lawsuit over the suicide of his on again off again girlfriend.  This is a messy one... It don't really know what to think of it. He did a lot wrong, I don't think he really intended this happening... but he creeps me out a lot now and its scary that he's involved in all of this and it is hard to think of. I think it would be kind of hard to see his movies now to be honest. Its sad. 




Thoughts 
Do something? I'm bad. I had a good one but I'm not feeling that inspirational. 

Clickables 
I already linked to Justin Scarred's youtube page... I'm just kind of watching all the TV now... so yeah. 

Byeee!

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...
