Scribbles About Music: Taylor Swift Ready For It

So... I feel like this is slowly becoming a Taylor Swift blog... Lol... It probably isn't... but she just dropped a new single and... now I'm interested in this album... so I'm reviewing it here.

PS- Is she dropping a single every week now? Or every other week?  I'll check back on that and maybe I'll review some together... I really want to give fair time to all the new tv shows and even the returning ones coming this month and the next few months really... so yeah!

Anyhoo- back to the song... it's kind of a rap song for taylor... and it's kind of sexy- kind of a fantasy type of thing... It reminded me of Wildest Dreams- which is what it's being compared to. I also thought that maybe the rapping thing was maybe a jab at Kanye... because Kanye is a rapper... I really thought that this whole song was about Kanye and that Taylor was kind of playing the character he portrayed her as in his song "Famous" because she mentions that she was a "robber" and I thought maybe that was kind of a take on him Robbing her VMA moment and her "robbing" Beyonce of the VMA for Single Ladies... it seems that the song is actually about her current boyfriend. And I just read a whole theory on that because I'm the type of person that reads Taylor Swift fan theories now... anyway yeah- it seems to be about her recently public boyfriend Joe Alwyn... who played a killer in a movie (hence the "I knew he was a killer" lyric.) And they're taking it slow hence the "Are you ready for it" part. He needs to be ready for the public because if Taylor's dating him... the media and her fans are also dating him... wait is that true? Did I technically date Tom Hiddleston then... because Yasss!!! Lol.

Anyway... there's also references to Jail and the article I read said that maybe the Birdcage Taylor is "Ready For It" Taylor... since there's a whole theory that states each of the Taylor's at the end of the video are a Taylor in a song... I'm not sure who she is at the end of the video... I liked the birdcage part of the video because I figured it was like she felt like a canary that everyone just wants to hear sing and doesn't care about her own personal heartbreak or tragedy... idk. Taylor is pretty clever.

I guess I should actually say what I think about the song... I really liked it! I think its fun that she has a rap song because I think she's trying to jab Kanye in some way... and I just thought it was catchy, sexy... seemed a little angry and just very Taylor.

Taylor also loves referencing herself in songs... which is cool. Idk... I want Taylor Swift to date Pete Wentz... but like back when he was dating Ashlee Simpson... I wish it was that Pete Wentz dating this Taylor Swift. I don't think it will ever happen that they date in real life... but I want them to date and break up because then we get a Taylor Swift CD and an angry Fall Out Boy cd and that's just the dream.... lol. I think Taylor is only a year or 2 older than me... so when Pete Wentz was the age I wanted them to date she probably would have been too young and he should have been dating me instead obvs... but it still would have been cool.

ANYWAY back to my review of the song... I like it better than Look What You Made Me Do... I'm not the biggest fan of LWYMMD... before the video came out I reviewed it as "The Lego Movie Version of a Taylor Swift Song" because it seemed like a parody... and it kind of is I guess? Lol. It's pretty good though! But this song is better.

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...
