Scribbles About Movies: A Dog's Purpose Review

I know I've been saying that I wanted to see this movie when it was on TV because I didn't quite know about the abuse claims and it looked like a show better to watch on TV than in the theaters... My friends wanted to see the movie and the Humane Society did investigate the movie and all was good. So I saw it in theaters.

It was a really great movie too! It stayed on the best storyline that was the main story the longest... and it spent a good enough time on the other lives and you could see how one of the dog's lives helped with understanding the next and it shaped him to become the dog he was at the end of the movie...

And you got to see a lot of, unfortunately, horrible things that happen both to dogs and to people from an incredibly innocent point of view. I don't want to spoil things but the dogs don't really get to choose their life... and it isn't always fun and there are a lot of bad parts. Dogs don't really have much control over what happens unfortunately. And that's why they need lots of love and to be treated well.

And really all the dogs changed their humans lives for the better. It gave Ethan a friend when he was going through the worst times of his life and he helped him remember and rediscover the best parts of his life. I don't want to give anything away... but Ethan had a rough life and Baileybaileybailey really helped him through a lot.

I do have to say though... this was a very emotionally draining movie. It is a beautiful story and the movie did a beautiful job telling it... but I was crying for most of the movie... it was a very touching movie... but man... I could not stop crying after a while because of all the dogs. I was even almost crying writing this post! Thinking about it makes me want to cry... it's very very sweet. I didn't think I would cry... I sobbed at the commercials for the movie, but I just kind of thought that I would have been a little more over it because I was exposed to it a little bit more... but I was not ready for it! Definitely not ready at all!

I loved the movie... but man... it was a tough one to watch! I would recommend checking it out... I'm probably going to look at the book next time I'm at Target also.

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...
