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!

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

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...
