Hump Day Update (11.8.17)

What I'm Watching 

American Horror Story! Both Cult and Murder House... I didn't like Cult this week... but I'm excited for the finale. I liked this season a lot... but I'm kind of happy that it's ending because it's just pretty tense... and it's a great season but it's hard to watch.

I watched the ABC comedies... I liked Fresh Off The Boat, Blackish and The Mayor... Blackish was especially good... this season has been my favorite so far.

I kind of saw the Middle... I like the show but I'm okay with it being the last season. It's not bad... but I don't think any season was "The Best Season Ever" or something... I just think it's a good show that hasn't jumped the shark... it's just kind of run its corse.

News

Disney was looking into buying 20th Century Fox... but then they didn't... I have no idea why this is in the news as it was already announced that they wouldn't be partnering. Disney could have possibly acquired properties like the X Men movies and Avatar... which are already associated with Disney... but they didn't reach an agreement so there was no purchase. I feel like they just wanted movies like X Men and Avatar on the streaming Service but... yeah that didn't happen.


Food

Egg Nog! Hood Egg Nog is my favorite... I haven't found my favorite flavor Sugar Cookie Egg Nog yet... but the Vanilla is really good, the Pumpkin is great... I just really like these a lot.

There's a Dill Cheese Spread I've been Loving... I'll probably mention it in my weekend post... but I just really like it a lot.

Favorites 
I'm sleeping in my new room now... and I'm loving it! I have my Ikea Micke desk set up right now... it's one of the corner desks and it's really cute and good. I also really like the bed, it's a Malm bed and Mattress... if you buy the bed on it's own it's not fully supported. It's just a bed frame, there's nothing to actually hold up the mattress... so keep that in mind if you buy it... They weren't in the display along with the Malm Bed and they had a name other than Malm... so it's tricky to find... but it's something to keep in mind when you're shopping there. We had no idea until my dad set up the bed... I do still like it a lot, the mattress is sooo comfy and I've been sleeping really well!

Still reading Big Little Lies from Lianne Moriarity... Haven't read much more... but I like it.

I'm listening to Comedy Bang Bang again... that's a really funny and great show all around.

And I did a little puzzle last night... it's for kids and it's a minion puzzle so it was just 50 pieces... although I think I'm missing a piece in mine... But I'm using it as a coaster currently!

Other Stuff 

Don't you hate when people kind of force their opinions on you in public... I don't want to share my example of this... but someone kind of publicly talked about something controversial to talk about and then stated her opinion... which is not what I agree with... but she stated it in a way that implied agreement from everyone. I didn't want to argue with this person so I just kind of avoided her as much as I could in this situation... and I vented about her later to people that would also find her annoying... maybe that isn't the right thing to do... but arguing with her wasn't worth it.

Anddd... ANY TIME I sneak food into my room... it wakes up my dog... and then he wants some. Particularly Polly- O String Cheese and Egg Nog because I usually share those with him. Last night I kept the sink in the kitchen running so he wouldn't hear the sound of me pouring Egg Nog... and it worked! I hope my dog doesn't read this and figure out my secret... ugh! Lol.

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...
