Weekly Wrap Up! 2.19.17

Favorites

Joanne by Lady Gaga- I've been listening to this CD a lot this week and it's just really good... I'm really excited to see Lady Gaga in August... I love that this is kind of different than what she usually does... but she just does it so well. It is weird to listen to a full CD and where Alexander Hamilton doesn't die at the end... but it's still really good.

Jane The Virgin- I finished watching the First Season of the show... and I have a recap that I'll post on a Throwback Thursday sometime next month... but what a great show! I just really like it. I'm on the Second Season now... so yeah. I'm still all caught up with the current season... but re-watching is so fun.

Dr. Teals Relax and Relief Eucalyptus Spearmint Foaming Bath Soak- This smells amazing and it's a stress relief type of thing and it just smells nice and de-stresses and I just really like it. It's a relaxing and refreshing bubble bath!

A Dog's Purpose- I saw this movie with my friends a few nights ago... did not stop crying at all! Great, great, great movie... I might see it again with my mom... review coming tomorrow I believe.

News and World Events

George and Amal Clooney are having twins... which I announced... but they are having one of each! A boy and a girl!

I don't have much news for the week... sorry!

AHS season 7 will of corse be about the 2016 election. Would have definitely been a missed opportunity if they didn't do this!

TV Highlights

I think I'll actually do a full Scribbles About TV on Tuesday or Wednesday because I like doing re-caps and there were no awards shows this week... I'm excited to do the Oscars next week... but this is good too.

Noteworthy Snacks

Souvlaki from a diner nearby... think I'll do a scribbles about food for this place.

Music

Angel Down by Lady Gaga... the whole cd I mentioned is really good... but I'm going to shout out this particular song this week because it's really good!

Quotes

"If you dont have any shadows you're not in the light" - Lady Gaga

“I guess I had never bothered to consider that there might such a thing as a boy, but now that I had found one, I thought it was just about the most wonderful concept in the world. He smelled of mud and sugar and an animal I'd never scented before, and a faint meaty odor clung to his fingers, so I licked them.” - A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

Thoughts

I spend a lot of time with my dog and (this week at least) with my niece and after seeing A Dog's Purpose... it's kind of fun and easy to just imagine what they are thinking and trying to understand them. Dogs are more human than you'd think and babies are more grown up than you'd think.

Syrian Refugees Find Home in Canada - This was a really inspiring story of a Syrian Refugee who now runs a sock store in Canada.

Girl Scout Honestly Gives Her Ranking of Cookies- This was just kind of funny and gives a look at a girl who values honesty!

I Steal Pets - You guys know I'm obsessed with Crazy Ex Girlfriend... this was a song Rachel Bloom did before Crazy Ex Girlfriend and it's really funny and dark and I like it a lot. Lol.

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
