Weelkly Wrap Up 11.13.16


This is an interesting Weekly Wrap up this week if ever there was one... But yeah... here we go! 
Favorites 
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert- I think over the next 4 years... I'm probably going to watch just about every late night tv show out there... because if there is a silver lining to the next four years, its comedy. And thats what I want to do. I would love to have a late night show. A lot of people would probably hate me. Lol. But yeah, Colbert has been really great. I've been watching segments on youtube and then on Wednesday I watched it live. 

Lin Manuel Miranda- Specifically I've been listening to the Hamilton Soundtrack all week pretty much. Its very relevant in this day and age. I just think Lin Manuel Miranda is brilliant. I'm really excited to see Moana. I've been reading Hamilton: The Revolution and reading his side notes and getting an input on his writing process. Its interesting how he put the musical together. He's brilliant. He's the hope I have for this world.

Leslie Odom, Jr. Simply Christmas- More Hamilton stuff... I love Leslie Odom, Jr. The Room Where It Happens is probably my favorite song in the play. I love his christmas cd too, he has such a great voice. I'm not a big fan of jazz music, so I don't listen to his other cd that much... but I love this cd. Its a little early for Christmas Music yet... but his voice is the best and its just the best Christmas CD. His Ave Maria really brings tears to my eyes. 

Life Scribbles
Monday I went out with my mom and we went shopping and I think we ate at TGIF.

Tuesday was Election Day.

Wednesday I went to pick up Candy Corn at a place because I won a guess the Candy Corn Contest. And we went out for dinner.

Thursday I think I went to Starbucks 2 times... which will be a theme with the BOGO free starbucks. Lol.

Friday I went to Sephora at the fancy mall and went out to dinner. And again, got 2 Starbucks!

TV Highlights 
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show... and Late Night with Seth Meyers... I was into late night tv this week. Blackish was also really good this week and the other wednesday night shows.

Noteworthy Snacks 
Sugar Cookie Egg Nog. 

Starbucks Holiday drinks... and that's about it!

News and World Events 
The election happened on Tuesday and the winner is Donald Trump... I can't believe I just typed that. I really had a little more faith in my country... but it is what it is. These are sad times. Our choices were terrible, and its going to be a longggg 4 years. If you support him and you can't take a joke and don't understand satire or parody... might be a good time to stop reading this blog. I can be a pretty nasty woman when I want. 

And Jane The Virgin was good this week! 

Thoughts 
I don't even know what to think. Be nice to everyone you meet. Love everyone, don't let the election get in the way of your friendships too much... but if someone says something that's offensive and they're stressing you out... its okay to delete them. Just be nice to people. 

Clickables 
How is American Horror Story Connected?- I don't necessarily agree with everything in this theory... but I liked the video anyway. It mentions that Shelby is a witch... which I did mention in one of my AHS reactions... but I think its more of a "cosmic balance of the universe" thing than a connection.

A Letter to America from Leslie Knope, regarding Donald Trump - When we need hope, there's always Leslie Knope!

Byeee!

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...

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...

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...
