Scribbles About Music: Throwback Thursday Edition- Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends by Fall Out Boy

Now for the 8th song from From Under The Cork Tree!

Of all the songs I really like on this CD and that I've always liked... this might be my least favorite of all of them. There's nothing bad about it, but its just the worst of the best.

Even listening to it now I'm like "Yeah okay... there's a lot too this song... but maybe its too much and its just a little boring." I'm sure people have lyrics from this song as tattoos... but I don't understand why this song would need to be on anyone's body for the rest of their life. Its not bad... its just like if the rest of the songs were Ben and Jerry's... this song would be the Up and Up brand of Ice Cream... not saying Up and Up is bad... its just not Ben and Jerry's.

I like the line about the matches... I don't understand what they're saying and I feel like this blog is more authentic if I don't look it up... so I'm not going to. Thats my favorite line of the song though. "Strike us like matches cause everyone deserves a flame" whatever the chorus is I guess is the best way to say it. Lol.

And I like the song, I like the meaning of the song... I think its a good message... but its not Ben and Jerry's, its Up and Up brand. We've already gone over one of the songs I don't like... so this is one that I like but it's just kind of more mediocre than the other songs.

Byeee!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
