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!

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...
