Hump Day Update: Weekly Favorites- Food, TV, Snacks and More! 9.27.17

What I'm Watching 

Netflix: 

I started watching Lady Gaga's new documentary Five Foot Two... I haven't finished it yet as of the time writing this... I started watching it at like 2 in the morning and I just haven't been able to finish since I wrote it. It's not a bad documentary- I actually think it's super interesting and I look forward to watching more of it... I just haven't been able to yet. They did it kind of like Grey Gardens.

I would also love to finish watching AHS Freakshow this week... it's almost off of Netflix... I want to do a Throwback Thursday on it tomorrow... so far I've only watched the first episode... so ugh... but I like this season... if I don't end up catching it all on Netflix I'll probably end up buying it and reviewing it eventually.

Regular TV 

I did watch all of the Monday Night shows on CBS... they had some great comedies. The Big Bang Theory was pretty good this week... I liked Young Sheldon a lot. I liked Me, Myself and I a lot more... I think these 2 new shows were the highlight of this comedy night. I did not like Kevin Can Wait- I think that since Erin Hayes was fired... it just isn't as good. I have a review of Young Sheldon up now... just posted it yesterday and I'll have a review of Me, Myself and I next week! If I had to recommend just one though- Me, Myself and I. I really liked it!

I also watched The Good Doctor... which I thought was good- I just don't find myself paying much attention to the "medical" part of medical shows... and this was pretty much all medical talk... so it wasn't my thing but Freddie Highmore is great in it and it really is an interesting show. Very well done in my opinion... I know they just had a special on real doctors that had Autism... I'm a little more interested in that now that I've seen the show.

I watched the premiere of This is Us... that was really great. It's been so long since the finale- but it felt like no time had passed... which is kind of awesome.

And American Horror Story Cult... this week was scary but there were a lot of pretty funny moments too... I liked that they showed the gym because the gym is almost a cult itself. Lol. I'll have a recap of that on Monday or Tuesday!

News 

Kit Harrington aka John Snow is engaged to his costar Rosie Leslie. The two played a dysfunctional couple... I guess you could say on Game of Thrones... so cute?

In other couple news, Phillipa Soo got married over the weekend to another broadway star and Idina Menzel married a broadway star also over the weekend... again... not sure who it is- he's also known for some Disney movies including the singing voice of Max in A Goofy Movie... so yeah. That's pretty cool.

Pit Bull sent a private jet to Puerto Rico to transfer cancer patients so that they can continue treatments. That's pretty awesome!

Food 

I just ate some pretty delicious Mac and Cheese.

I tried the Maple Pecan Latte from Starbucks... I'll have a review on that pretty soon- but it was really good!

I had some Pepperidge Farm Thin and Crispy chocolate chip cookies... those are pretty delicious.

Favorites 

I got some new clothes from Old Navy that I've been liking a lot! I've only worn a couple... they have longer shirts and dresses that I like to wear with leggings. They're comfy and cute.

The Iphone 8 is another new favorite! I just got it this week... the camera is pretty amazing! I'm really impressed with it! I would recommend getting it if you're wanting a new phone or if you're thinking about it.

My painting from Pinot's palette! If you haven't seen it yet, I posted it on my Weekly Wrap Up post... I love how it turned out. It's super pretty and fun and fall-ish.

Other Stuff 

Snapchat filters don't recognize glasses because the technology for the filters was originally used for pilots. This isn't true... but if you say it interestingly enough- people will believe you... so I did that a few times this week.

Anddd that's it!

Hope you guys like this!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
