Weekly Wrap Up 11/20/16



Favorites 
Late Night TV- As I've mentioned... I'm trying to watch as much late night TV as I can  lately... this week I've watched The Late Show, The Late Late Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. I mostly have them on in the background while I do other stuff. Late Night and The Late Late show I try to watch live... but most of it I try to have on while blogging or cleaning my room or doing my makeup. Right now The Late Show is on while I'm writing this. I still want to watch Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, some more Seth Meyers... probably Bill Mahr and Samantha Bee too. It's a good time for Late Night TV. 

How To Get Away With Murder- Wow... That Winter Finale... Wow! That's all I'll say... it was pretty shocking. I did a whole post on it yesterday... so just know it was pretty great. 


Life Scribbles
Monday I went out to lunch with my mom... I think I went to Harmon and Starbucks too... yep that was that day. 

Tuesday I mostly stayed home. 

Wednesday I went to the grocery store with my mom and grandmother. 

Thursday I went to the doctors... and Friday I went grocery shopping too! 

TV Highlights 
How To Get Away With Murder... American Horror Story... so many good things! I also watched some Life in Pieces this week, that's a good one. A lot of the comedies on ABC... so many good things. 

Noteworthy Snacks 
Sugar Cookie Egg Nog. 

French Onion Soup. 

Anything with chocolate. 

News and World Events 
Mickey Mouse turned 88 years old on Friday! That is pretty cool. 

There is a video of a polar bear petting a dog! 

I'm trying not to read Facebook news anymore... as I've mentioned... but Carrie Fisher allegedly had an affair with Harrison Ford while shooting Star Wars. 

There was a really nice story on the  CBS This Morning Show about a little girl that became friends with an older man. This 82-year old man was a recent widower and he felt lost and helpless. This little girl came up to him and said "Hey old person! It's my Birthday! Can you give me a hug?" And he did and he said he felt happier than he had felt in a long time. He thinks of the little girl as an Angel that has given him a reason to live.  I'll link the article from CBS below... it's just the best news story I've seen in a very long time and it gives me the kind of hope that I feel like we need in today's day and age. 

Mike Pence attended a showing of Hamilton... really? That guy saw it before me? Anyway... they had a nice message for Mike Pence at the end of the show about diversity, and I'll link the video below. 
Thoughts 
Don't believe everything you see online... don't believe anything you see on the news either. There are some people I trust... and I'm watching them only. I'm sticking with Late Night TV, The CBS Morning Show... I resubscribed to Phillip Defranco and sourcefed. I'm also going to start listening to Charles Osgood because I loved Sunday Morning on CBS. I  trust the local ABC news... but that's about it. And even those are quite biased.... so just know what you're getting yourself into. Don't repost anything unless you're certain its true... be informed!

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...
