Hump Day Update: 10/25/17

Sorry this is so late! Onto the show! This isn't a show it's a blog!

What I'm Watching 

American Horror Story amiright??? This show has slowly consumed my life in the past few weeks especially! I love this season... last night's episode was my favorite ever... I think. I just really liked this one for some reason. Winter is my favorite so it makes sense that an episode about her was my favorite. There was a good amount of torture, plot, and backstory... plus huge change of character for Ally... I kind of love her now... and I feel like watching in between the lines... maybe something happened to Ally that makes her more scared of everything... I'm not sure. Just re-watching old seasons... there are similarities between Ally and some other characters like Vivianne and Lana Winters... so maybe she has a reason to be scared. And she was badass when she contacted Kai... she played him! He totally wanted to show that he was more fearless than Ally was- which is why he took a bite of the sandwich... Idk what exactly she has planned... but she's playing him. And the creepy pastor in the torture house was Rick Springfield!

I watched Roanoke and Asylum again too... I'm excited to keep watching those too!

I watched some Duck Tales... no shame I actually love it! I also watched Kevin Saves The World- just the pilot... but it's good. If you liked Touched By An Angel- this is something else you'll like.

And the Halloween episodes of all my favorite sitcoms. I loved all of them! The ABC sitcoms. I watched some of Dancing With The Stars even... its really great!

News 

Unfortunately this week we lost one of the funniest men ever on television, Robert Guillaume from TV's Soap and Benson. He was also the voice of Rafiki- which I didn't know until yesterday. He was also the first African American man to win an emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy and Best Lead Actor in a Comedy. He was the only African American Man to win either award until Donald Glove'rs win for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy this year... so he's still the only African American Man to win Best Supporting actor in a comedy. He was also the first African American Man to play Phantom of The Opera.... I didn't know he could sing!

I loved Soap and Benson- he was just sooo funny in those. He will definitely be missed.

And Fats Domino- another Rock and Roll Pioneer... I don't know as much about Domino but again... two legends within two days- it's hard.

Food 

I've been putting Turkey Chili on Ritz Crackers... and it's been really good!

I've had some good pene vodka this week...

Pumpkin Liquor!

The Salted Caramel Latte!

Pumpkin Milkshake!

Chocolate Covered Pretzels!

Polly O String Cheese! Lol.

Favorites 

I vlogged this weekend... and it was just me in my house... but I had a lot of fun with it. It was fun to edit... not too exciting but... I still liked it.

The Lorac Mega Pro 4 palette has been fun! I've enjoyed playing with that!

I also started listening to Comedy Bang Bang again... really funny show. I want to listen to more Podcasts... I want to listen to Oprah's podcast because it might be life changing... idk. Lol.


Other Stuff 

My niece is starting to talk a little. She says Dada and Mama... but this week it sounded like she said "do" which I think means "Dog" because she said it while trying to reach for my dog. I also heard a "Ga" this week when she was looking at my dad... so I think that meant "grandpa" and I think I heard a "Mana" which might mean "Moana." She really loves Moana.

I'm going out for Halloween on Saturday... I'm thinking about dressing "Basic" in stuff I usually wear... and getting a witch hat and maybe a starbucks cup... and going as a "Basic Witch." I'm thinking of even making a Witch Hat on the Starbucks Cup and writing Basic Witch on it just in case people don't get it. As much as I love Halloween... I'm not the biggest fan of Buying Costumes... so I think that would be a fun little DIY type of Costume.

Byee!

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...
