Throwback Thursday: The Most Popular Girls In School

I'm really excited that I rediscovered this show. I was kind of not looking to watch this again... but I was writing something that had high school themes sort of in it with kind of a bitchy vibe... and I saw a post from Brittney Matthew's on International Woman's day... so I was just kind of like "Ohhh. I guess I could watch The Most Popular Girls in School again."

And I did! It was a good throwback and a fun thing to watch. I had only seen the first season and a few episodes of season 2... but I hadn't finished the series at all... so I just thought it would be fun to finish it up and then I could do a little Throwback Thursday on it.

Interestingly enough... The show isn't over yet! They're actually starting production on Season 5 recently! It's been a few years since Season 4. The first four seasons were largely crowd funded and the creators began their own production studio... so they've been trying to work on a larger scale future for MPIGS. So that's cool.

When I watched season 2 I remember I was sort of like "Okay, I'm done with this. It's not bad... but season 1 was more my thing." But it was really funny all the way through watching it this time. I think my favorite season was season 3 because I thought the hipster thing was really funny and the characters in that were really great... but Season 1 is probably what everyone knows and remembers. Ashley Katchadorian was supposed to be watching the goddamn door, Rachel Tice loves Gossip Girl soooooo much, Deandra just wants to poop there... just sooo many classic lines that my friends and I still quote pretty regularly.

I think Brittney Matthews is my Spirit animal. I mean I'm probably like Amber Lynn Weggars in real life... but when I don't like someone, I'm fully Brittney Matthews. She's just soooo mean and funny. I would be annoyed by Saison Marguerite as well. Lol.

And it is kind of amazing that this just started with some discount barbie dolls that some guy used in his kitchen... and now it's possibly even getting turned into a TV Show... Charlize Theron's production company is working on making a TV show based on the series... but the series is coming back to youtube as well... so there might be a lot more of the show.

It's a combination of really funny... but there's also some suspense in the show too and I genuinely wonder what's happening after watching each episode. It's a good balance.

The last season even focused more on doing more than one story line at a time. There was Deandra becoming famous, Than hanging out with the football players, and the McKenzie/ Brittney feud... spoilers... and most episodes focused on each story line all at once and they transitioned it in a way that made it feel a little more like a tv show. I think Season 3 maybe did a smoother job of doing it... but you can tell they've come a long way and they've really improved the show from season 1 on. So I'm excited to see more of it... I'll probably even watch MPGIS seasons 1-4 again... not even going to lie. Lol.

Byeeeee!

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...
