Scribbles About TV: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 3

I was really excited for this season after the cliffhanger ending of last season where we find out Kimmy is actually married to the Reverend... and I was hoping that it wouldn't just resolve that problem right at the beginning of the season... but it would let us linger with that a little bit... and it did pretty much let us linger! Not much was resolved with that... and it was interesting.

This season was maybe a little bit darker than the first 2 seasons... it was still equally funny but it did kind of touch on the darker subjects that we knew were there... but the tone of the show kind of made it seem different. I don't know it just seemed like we got more insight into what happened in the bunker this year.

And I think this season might actually be my favorite because of that partially. There was also a lot of Titus... and I just think they did really well with this season. I was a little bit worried because it was also season 3 of Grace and Frankie and I've mentioned how I felt about that... This just improved on the characters and all the character relationships. We got to see more of Jaquelin with the other characters and her story this year was really powerful...she was really funny. We saw Gretchen as a cult leader... Cindy as a Bunker saleswoman and a seemingly more together Kimmy... it was just kind of a creative way of showing how different all the characters were from Season 1... yet they're all still very much the same.

I liked that Kimmy was in college too. I love Daveed Diggs obviously... so I was super happy to see him on the show. I was also happy Xan was back... that's Jaquelin's former step daughter she was really funny in Season 1 and I felt like the show was missing something without her... I just thought everything with the College story was really well done. It showed how Kimmy had come so far... and yet still wasn't quite over the traumatic experience that happened to her... which is understandable.

And Titus... he was just so funny this season... with the Lemonade and the Boobs and California song and the Linda thing... so so funny... he's just really really great on the show. I really loved his thing this season as well!

So yeah! Overall loved this season... I think this or the first season might be my favorite... I liked Season 2 also... but not quite as amazing in my book as this season. Not nearly as memorable... besides Tina Fey's part. But definitely recommend the series!

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...
