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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
