Weekly Wrap Up: 1/8/16

Ugh... I forgot about this this week! Sorry guys! Didn't think I'd have any favorites... but I think there are 5 things worth mentioning... so yeah. 

Favorites 
Baby Shower- So I was helping with my sister's baby shower this week... so it might not be a total favorite but it is what was on my mind pretty much all week and I just thought it was worth mentioning as a favorite.

Comedy Bang Bang- So happy I started listening to my podcasts again! Comedy Bang Bang and How Did This Get Made to be exact... but How Did This Get Made was just a mini episode so CBB was my favorite... and I loved it! It's so funny. I just like listening to it a lot!

Life In Pieces- This has been a favorite for a while that I never mention. Honestly, I have a horrible review on here of the first episode... and I stand by that review. It wasn't very original. The cast was good and it had funny moments... but it was no wheres near as clever and well-developed as it is now... and I really like that. It has improved a lot.

Oh Yeah Em- So a few months ago when I was on my Disney kick I mentioned a youtube channel called Oh Yeah Disney. It was an engaged couple, they have since gotten married and Emily now has a blog called Oh Yeah Em... and I love it! I just really like her style, I think she has a lot of fun posts and I like traveling and would love for this to be a travel blog... but I never travel anymore... so that won't happen. Lol. But anyway, I love her... and I think her blog is amazing! I will link it in the Clickables. Her pictures are awesome too, I think she takes some and her husband Scott is also a very talented photographer. I just really like her posts and will probably continue reading them as much as I can. Oh yeah Em is such a great and easy to remember name too! I love it!


Life Scribbles
I didn't do too much this week... wasn't feeling great after New Year's Eve... and then it kinda snowed and stuff... so other than the Baby Shower... didn't do too much!


TV Highlights 
Life in Pieces... I watched Mickey's House of Mouse Christmas and Return of the Jedi and a little bit of The Force awakens. 

Noteworthy Snacks 
The Oreo Candy Bar was pretty dang amazing.

Soooo much good food at the shower! Honey Cakes, "Haycorns" made out of Nilla Wafers and chocolate... so many good things! 

News and World Events 

Mariah Carey made headlines this New Year's Eve when she.... performed(?) at the New Year's Rockin' Eve Special... The music was synced up right and she just sort of stayed there pouting, she still danced and reached out to the crowd... but she was not havin' it at all! I heard there was no sound check before and that is why things went awry... Mariah Carey is a smart woman. I don't think she was just having a drunken meltdown. I think she was legitimately mad that it all went wrong. I would be pissed too if I were her! She doesn't do many live performances... She has a very strong voice... and... well it just sounds better if she lip syncs probably. I don't want to totally blame the New Year's Rockin Eve show... I'm thinking everything was kind of unplanned and it seemed people enjoyed themselves anyway... and Mariah looked totally totally gorgeous... although she looked kind of naked except for the glitters. Like I said, she's a smart woman... I don't totally think this was her fault.

One of the weirder more interesting stories of the week was that a woman is suing to have her name removed from google because her ex posted "revenge porn" with her in it... I don't know whether it was a sex tape or pictures... It's not going to happen. If it did, her name would never be allowed to be on google again. So if her name was something like Mary... all references to anyone named Mary would have to be removed. The reports said that it is a unique 4 letter name... so it probably isn't Mary, her identity was not revealed... odd choice to go straight to google. Maybe there need to be stricter laws about sex tapes and sexy pictures... maybe there don't and people just have to use common sense and decency about it. Weird world. I have no advice on this and no real thoughts... Be careful with your personal business?

That Trump guy did stuff maybe? I had a dream that that super young, really pretty republican girl Tommi whatever... I haven't heard her talk but my friends with similar political views don't like her very much... so I've avoided her for that reason... lol. Anyway I had a dream that there was a democrat version of her too and that they were going to battle... and it wasn't really specific what the battle was going to be... but it wasn't a debate. I think it was probably a rap battle... but yeah.

Music 
I listened to Watsky's newest album because I've had his song from the Hamilton Soundtrack stuck in my head forever and I really liked it. It took me a while to realize what Going Down was about... I just heard him say "Kimmy Schmidt" and I was like "That's My JAM!" And then I listened to the rest of that and I think there will be a whole different blog about that... but that'll come later... so stay tuned? Lol.

Thoughts 
Sometimes you forget to do things until 25 minutes after the last minute... like this blog right now... not even the 8th anymore for me... but yeah I really think this blog turned out pretty well. Hope you guys like it!

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
