Hump Day Update 12/20/17

What I'm Watching 

 Every Christmas Special!!! I talked about all the christmas episodes last week... Life in Pieces is still on this week and it was funny last week. Prep and Landing Naughty vs. Nice is on next and I like that a lot... so I might watch that. I did watch The Santa Clause... but I already posted my reactions to that... so I'll watch the other Santa Clause Movies and The Grinch soon. I still haven't watched my favorites which are Elf and Christmas Vacation yet... ugh. I saw A Christmas Story Live... didn't see all of it- but I liked what I saw... and yeah! That's pretty great!

 News 

 Last week I reported on Mario Batali's sexual harassment allegations... this week we got an apology with a Pizza Dough Cinnamon Roll Recipe... just so Mario could show how sincere and serious he was about it.

Tarana Burke, founder of the Me Too Campaign will push the button to drop the ball on New Year's Eve in Times Square. I think this is a really great honor for the year.

 Food and Drink 

 Lindor Truffles! Mint, there are good pumpkin and gingerbread ones... Irish Cream, and there's a black and white truffle. Great stuff!

 Favorites 

 Star Wars!!! I did a review on that... it's amazing- one of my favorite things.

I also have to say Olaf's Frozen Adventure... I really like that.

 Other Stuff 
The term "Bat in the Cave" is the discreet way to say "There's a little booger in your nose that I can see". My sister thinks I made this phrase up... I did not!

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...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...
