Weekly Wrap Up 2.12.17


Favorites 

Jane The Virgin- I started this week out with watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend again... but then with the twist on Jane The Virgin I decided to watch that again... I think I'm going to do Throwback Thursdays on both of them because there's stuff I noticed and basically... everything leads up to the twist that just happened. Same with Crazy Ex Girlfriend... which is next on my list... it's just a great show. 

Crazy Ex Girlfriend- So I just caught up to what is probably the best episode of the series: "That Text Wasn't meant for Josh." Maybe I'll do a Top 5 favorite episodes of this too because this is just a great show. I'm so excited for next season... there was a lot in the first season that sort of hinted at Rebecca's past. 



News and World Events

George Clooney and his wife Amal just announced that they are expecting Twins! They will join Beyonce's twins in being super awesome twins of famous people! Congratulations to them! 

Betsey Devos tweeted that she did her job for a day and asked where the pencils are! People tweeted her back saying "We pay for pencils ourselves... get your own!" So... she was just kind of asking people to troll her. 

Nordstrom and TJ Maxx both dropped the Ivonka Trump line from their stores. Trump's campaign manager gave an illegal-ish plug to the brand and was confronted about that because... it is illegal-ish. Just either way... I don't necessarily think "Ohhh we need to buy Ivonka Trump to show our support" or "Ohhh I need to buy from Nordstrom to show my support." Make much sense. Just buy whatever you want. If you had something that you wanted from Nordstrom or from Ivonka's brand... buy it? I don't exactly think Nordstrom or Ivonka is struggling... so just buy whatever the heck you want! I do like the insurgence of celebrity tweets about what they're buying at Nordstrom... mostly because I like to see what they're buying and it's adorable that Kristin Davis is buying shoes from the SJP line. Plus the Chelsea Handler picture with the Muslim Man and the Gay man in front of the white house with Nordstrom bags... I'm not really a fan of Chelsea Handler... but that's kind of cool to see. 

Tv Highlights 
Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex Girlfriend of corse. 

How to Get Away With Murder is just a little too late for me to really pay attention too... ugh idk why my attention span is so short with TV now... but I can't pay attention to Superstore, Powerless, Life in Pieces and then How To Get Away With Murder... and maybe Scandal. I really like Scandal... but I prefer Life in Pieces. Idk lol. 

The Goldbergs and the ABC shows were all new... I missed the Tuesday ones I think... but the rest were all good! 

Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown was on and really cute and good. The newer one that they showed after the original cartoon was very badly animated though. Charlie just looked different and... it just wasn't very good. 


Noteworthy Snacks 
I ate a lot of leftover Chili from the Superbowl. 

I also had Pizza rolls that were really good... Devil Dogs and things like that were all good this week. We found Oatmeal Cookies with Icing from a few months ago... it's just all good! 


Music
I've been singing the Eliza songs from Hamilton all week! I wrote a blog about it... and I just like the songs. I sing along to them too and I just really like them. Burn was particularly powerful to watch performed live... it was just really good. 


Quotes
"If somebody talks about you behind your back, just fart." something I saw on instagram. 

Thoughts 
Sometimes you need to re-watch tv shows to get all the little details... that probably isn't the best life advice ever... but that's what I've got! 



Byeee!

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...

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...

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...
