Chart Chat! 11/28/16

Alright... I'm a little surprised at this week's chart chat... but let's just jump into it! I'm also super tired... so I feel like this will be an abridged top 10!

10) The Edge of Seventeen I want to see this... but I'll probably wait till its on TV. It looks good... but there are so many movies out right now and this doesn't seem like one that you need to see in theaters the way I think Fantastic Beasts or even Moana is.

9) Hacksaw Ridge - Sounds good... but too serious compared to the kids movies at the top of my "To See" list. Lol.

8) Almost Christmas- Probably not a bad movie... probably won't see it because again... it looks sad!Just realized I don't need an Again here... I wrote this list backwards... so that's why some of my phrasing doesn't make much sense. Again I'm getting ready for a nap.

7) Bad Santa 2- I never saw the original Bad Santa... I probably should someday but its so sad its not really on the top of my list of movies I really want to watch at Christmas. I feel like a sequel to this is something people are probably skeptical of... but with Kathy Bates as Momma Bad Santa... it sounds a lot better.

6) Trolls- Cute... definitely thought this would have been higher on the box office this weekend... but I guess with Moana, Fanstastic Beasts and Doctor Strange all being family movies, this one kinda falls short on the list of "Ohhh yeah we have to see that." Despite having a good soundtrack and probably a great cast of voices as well.

5) Arrival- Again... I want to see this but its a movie I think you really really need to be paying attention too.

4) Allied- I want to see this movie when its on TV... Sandy Kenyon said that this movie was pretty bad and that the chemistry between the two leads was abysmal... but I can get past bad on screen chemistry for a movie... idk. Maybe its because I watch a lot of TV and when there's bad chemistry on a TV Show (I'm talking to you Sookie and Eric) its a little hard to watch... but if the story in a movie is okay, usually it isn't terrible to at least half watch... and I think this is going to have a good story with it. I don't see how the "is she a spy? Is she not a spy?" Aspect can be all that boring... it sounds a little like Mr. and Mrs. Smith... but better.

3) Doctor Strange- Again... I don't really know what this is about and I'm not super interested... but Benedict Cumberbatch looks pretty hot and People seem to really love this since it is still doing so well!

2) Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them- I think I'm seeing this tomorrow... so I will hopefully have a review on this soon! I'm excited. Apparently it doesn't really feel like Harry Potter until the end. I think Grindelwald and Dumbledore are involved... idk either way it sounds like a really great movie on its own and its pretty cool that there really wasn't a book to go with this. I'm excited for it!

1) Moana- Judging by how excited I am for this movie and how much I love the music of Lin Manuel Miranda and I love the Hawaiin theme and The Rock and the new girl who is voicing the princess... I shouldn't be THAT surprised that this is #1 this week... but I really really thought Fantastic Beasts was going to win it again. It just goes to show you, Disney is smarter than ever now! They have a very charming team with the two leads in this movie and Miranda... plus a new Disney Princess that is Polynesian, which we've never seen before... and it seems like its just as fun for girls as it is boys. A lot about this movie reminded me of Hercules and Mulan. Those movies are kinda just kids movies, not girl movies or boy movies... just plain kids movies with adventure and singing and fun. So yeah! Smart move, Disney!

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...
