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!

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
