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!

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...
