Throwback Thursday: Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back

So I just did a Feminist review of this on my other blog... on Star Wars day I did a review on A New Hope... now onto The Empire Strikes Back!

And again... I'm a little fuzzy on this because I saw it in December... maybe next year I'll do better reviews... but for right now... it's a little bit of a fuzzy review.

I didn't like this one a lot as a kid because Han Solo dies at the end... and I know he doesn't- they all save him... but when I saw it as a kid I was like "No I didn't like The Empire Strikes Back because Han Dies!" So that made me cry as a kid because as you know... Han Solo is my dream man!

I was nervous to watch this again... but actually it I ended up really liking it. As a kid I don't think I liked Hoth or the Wompa or anything... as a grown up- I think it's super cool that they opened the movie on a totally different planet than we've seen before... and that's kind of cool. It's definitely not repetitive in the way all the movies are. They all have a distinct tone and a lot of differences even though they're all parts of the same story!

I also totally forgot about Lando... and I really liked him! I was excited about the Han Solo movie before... but after seeing Lando again... I'm even more excited! He's just a really good character that we don't know a lot about... and it'd be cool to know a little bit more about him! And I'm a big fan of Donald Glover... so that should just be good!

I also didn't realize... this is the movie where all the stuff happens! Yoda is in this one for the first time... Luke finds out Darth Vader is his father. I think this is where Luke loses his hand... lots of stuff happens here!

I think that is everything I care to mention right here... this is definitely the darkest of the original trilogy and I think that is why people like it so much. I still think I like Return of The Jedi better... but I appreciated that C3PO wasn't in this movie too much!

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...

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...
