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!

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...
