November 2016: It List

Here are some of my favorites this month!

1) Late Night TV- So after the events of the election... I figured I would watch as much Late Night TV as I could... so I've been trying to watch just about every show. My favorite is Stephen Colbert... so far. I also really like John Oliver though. Seth Meyers and James Corden are really funny. I like Jimmy Fallon a lot. I started watching Samantha Bee too... so yeah. That is a lot of late night tv... I will probably watch more just because its easy and its fun... and a good way to keep up with the news in a satirical way. If you want a lighter satire I'd say Jimmy Fallon and the... darkest satire is probably Sam Bee or John Oliver because they're on cable and can kind of tell it like it is.

 2) Sugar Cookie Egg Nog- I almost don't want to even mention this because its hard to get and its really really good... we've been buying as many as we can when we see it... so if you live in Central Jersey... sorry for the low stock and also don't buy it because I want it! Lol. But yeah... it is amazing! I love it. They haven't had it in a couple years... but they brought it back, and now I'm happy. Lol. I'm not even saying the brand because... I'm selfish. It's Hood. Lol.

 3) How To Get Away With Murder- That twist though!!!!! Was not expecting that at all... I'm a little sad... but I think its a good twist and I'm curious to see how the rest of the series goes.

 4) Hamilton- If you're wondering if I still like Hamilton or not... I do even more now! I listened to it so much during the election... and its helping me have faith in the world and I feel like I have a new appreciation for it.

 5) Super Carlin Brothers- I love these guys! They have really interesting videos, now they're mostly about Disney and Pixar, which I also love... but the first couple years they just had conversations and it was really interesting and I like just having on Super Carlin Brothers while I do things like clean my room or something because it is just a lot of fun.

 6) Joanne by Lady Gaga- Great cd. I actually just did a review on it right here and I think its really good. Its kind of different and I really liked it! Its a good one!

 7) Johanna's Christmas- Speaking of Joanne, Johanna's Christmas is a coloring book I got recently that I've really been liking. It gets me in the christmasy mood and its just a good one! I really like it a lot!

8) Simply Christmas By Leslie Odom Jr- I'm going to have a review on this soon enough, but I really like it! He has a nice voice... and Ave Maria just brings tears to my eyes. Its a beautiful cd and I recommend downloading it or streaming it if you can.

And I think that is everything! Hope everyone is having a nice day!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Man Crush Monday: Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of my favorite talk show hosts... and I pretty much like all the late night talk show hosts... so that is saying a lot. (I haven't actually watched James Cordin yet, but I have a huge crush on him from Into The Woods, so yeah. I also have a crush on Seth Meyer though... And all the comedy central guys... ugh. Lol. and obviously Jimmy Fallon. Lol.) So yeah... this is saying a lot that he is one of my favorites. 1) He genuinely acts like he has the most fun job in the world-  Jimmy Fallon is always really excited about the show. He pretty much does have the most fun job ever, and he actually appreciates it. He was on SNL, and when he left SNL for late night he was excited and proud of his job, and now on The Tonight Show he's very happy. 2) His Ice Cream Flavors are good- This one is completely random... but I feel like having Ben and Jerry's make an ice cream flavor after you is a really big honor and a great responsibility. You can tell a lot about a...
