Weekly Wrap Up

Favorites 

The Great Comet of 1812- I was listening to this soundtrack this week... I'll probably end up doing a full review on it on This Blog... I have a feminist review up on my feminist blog... but I really liked it! I don't really want to listen to it again... I think I might end up seeing this on Broadway at some time... it's good. Its one that you can follow the plot from the soundtrack... the characters are all really good... and the music is good. It's like Modern Rock mixed with traditional Russian music... it's good! I would recommend listening to it! 

Down To Dis-ness- This is a web series about disney history that Sarah Snitch on Youtube hosts... it tells a little bit of information about Disney (and Pixar) animated movies and how it was important to pop culture... for example new animation techniques and things like that... it was good, I bingewatched all the episodes on Monday. 

Crazy Ex Girlfriend- I love this show... I'm rewatching it. It's been a favorite for a few weeks now. I've been listening to the music and watching the second season... I'm trying to watch the second season a little more slowly because I basically watched it all in one day... but it's good. It's a fun one to watch over and over and over again. 

News and World Events

Bill Paxton died! This is sad to me, I watched Big Love over the summer, and I never finished the show but he was very good on it. He made a character that should be unlikable kind of lovable actually. I thought it was a good show and he did a great job on it. 

On Tuesday a bull escaped a Slaughterhouse in NY and people chased him and shot him with tranquilizers... and they were able to catch him and they were transporting him to a vet I guess and getting him to a farm sanctuary... but by the time the people from the farm sanctuary he had died already. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

The Chobani Flips and the Fage Split cups are really good! 

Music
The intro song of The Great Comet of 1812. I also started listening to the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack... pretty good! 

Quotes

"I hate tests. It's a really lousy way to judge a person's ability!" - Bill Paxton. 

Thoughts 
Sometimes things surprise you... like the Chobani Flips. I didn't know I'd like them... but I liked them a lot! 

Clickables 
Bill Paxton Quotes - so I usually just google my quotes and find something relevant to the week that I like or that I agree with... I usually just find them on google... but this one I used a specific site. 



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...
