Weekly Update: 12/13/17

What I'm Watching 

I just did a TV Blog about all the great Christmas TV Shows... but I think my favorite was American Housewife! I'm also excited to watch Prep and Landing and especially Olaf's Frozen Adventure! I haven't seen that yet and I'm a little excited! My Nana's friend called her up when Frozen was on to let her know that Frozen was on... I thought that was cute. Nana loves Disney and Musicals... so I'm guessing she liked it... don't think she saw it all though.

Life in Pieces is also on tonight and it's another favorite of mine.

I'm trying to watch things that are on the trending page of youtube now... just to kind of see what's up... so I watched Youtubers react to Youtube Rewind, I added some to my watch later playlist too... I watched the Joe Biden clip from the view... I just kind of want to see what gets popular... I've taken a sudden interest in that...

I also have been loving Lisbug's channel where she's been "pregnant" for a day. I watched some of Shane Dawson's videos. He hired a child actor to be his son, he reconnected with his father, he did a "true crime" type of vlog... but not really. It was interesting. Shane was the first youtuber I ever subscribed too and I'm happy I still watch him today!

News 

Disney purchased 21st Century Fox in their biggest deal ever! Disney now owns Avatar, the X Men Franchise, the Original Star Wars Movies, Anastasia, The Simpsons, all of the Fox tv channels except for Fox News and the Sports Networks. They will also be a shareholder in Hulu or something like that... I don't know- pretty exciting though!

Some new people accused of sexual harassment: Jeremy Piven- who's awful TV show has been cancelled as a result. Mario Batali- who exited The Chew. Tavis Smiley who is a PBS talk show host that has been fired. More accusations against Dustin Hoffman. I don't know if this is new- but Ed Westwick.

Alabama has elected Doug Jones as their senator.

And... that's the big news of the week!

Food and Drink 

The Bantam Bagels at Starbucks... I just wanted a bagel so I thought I'd try that... I got the French Toast ones... really good. Might get these again soon!

Favorites 

I got The Hess Truck! I'm so excited about it! It reminds me of my grandfathers... so I wanted it! I love it!

The Emily Awards on EmilyNoel83's channel. Love watching these videos year after year... I love that some of her favorites have been the same through her whole youtube career. It's awesome!

Other Stuff 

I'm pretty excited for The Last Jedi coming out.... idk if I'll see it anytime soon... but I'm excited for it!

I know all the words to Be Our Guest and The Twelve Days of Christmas because of my niece! So that's amusing!

And that's about it! Hope you guys like this!

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...
