Hump Day Update! 11/22/17

What I'm Watching 

I watched all of the Community Christmas episodes over the weekend... there might have been one or 2 that I missed... but I watched the first 3 seasons and I loveeee that show and their holiday episodes are the best!

I also watched Corky Romano with my friend this week... weird movie... but a good one.

Tonight I'm really excited because Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is on and after that they're showing repeats (I think) of Modern Family and American Housewife.

I also watched Fresh Off The Boat and The Middle. Those were good this week. The Middle isn't my favorite show... but I do really love Fresh Off The Boat.

So happy Life in Pieces is back... I also watched Mom and I watched some of Curb Your Enthusiasm... so so funny!

That's about it!

News

Charlie Rose is the latest person accused of Sexual Harassment and has since been let go from his show CBS This Morning and his show on PBS. He didn't deny allegations, but he also said what he did wasn't horrible and that he believed he was pursuing shared feelings.

I think what makes me angriest about all of these terrible scandals is that the men accused aren't apologizing... they're making excuses. And what they did was wrong and inexcusable. I'm sorry. I watched Charlie Rose for a few years now... I really like the CBS This Morning Show... and I really liked the way Gayle and Nora handled everything. I really admire both of those women and I'm happy to see them on the show.

In happier news: On ABC they always show a reporter reporting on the balloon inflating with their kids... and the last few years Michelle Charlesworth has gone out with her son and daughter to report. There was a little girl from digital with them... it was really cute. I always like seeing that- I feel bad because my mom and dad were out getting dinner (our traditional pre-thanksgiving KFC feast. Lol.)

Food and Drink 
The Thanksgiving sandwich at Starbucks! They only have it until Black Friday... so you only have a couple days to get it... but it's great!

They have good peppermint bark there also... they'll likely have that all through christmas.

I ate Greek Food with my friend... she got a gyro and I got a souvlaki pita pocket... tzatzki sauce was amazing.

I had some Turkey Chili which was delicious... and tonight I'm eating KFC and Starbucks!

Favorites 

Community as I've mentioned.

I watched a few videos of the Universal Studios Christmas at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and that's really exciting.

I filmed a couple youtube videos I'm excited about.

Leslie Odom Jr's Simply Christmas Deluxe Edition is a great Christmas CD... as is the Muppet Christmas Carol Christmas CD... I tried listening to that with my niece before and it got her to sleep. Good stuff!

Other Stuff 

My niece has been so playful lately and she's been laughing and smiling... I know I've mentioned that but I love playing with her... she's just so fun.

I like hanging out at Starbucks... it is just really really fun.

And I'm excited for black friday deals!

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...
