Grammy Gossip: 2018 Grammy Recap!

I was really excited for this year's Grammy Award Show... I like watching awards shows and commenting on them and anything with performances are especially fun. And there were lots of performances this time around too- which was really cool!

My personal favorite performances... obviously Lady Gaga... she's my favorite and I just think she did a great job. Kenderick Lamar opened the special and did a really great job with it... it was definitely fitting with all the awards he won last year and this year also... he's really great. Kesha's performance was incredibly moving... it was just so powerful to see all those women together there to support Kesha... I would be in Awe if Cyndi Lauper was performing my song alongside of me. Another moving performance was by some of the best new artist nominees... Alessia Kara, Logic and Khalid... after seeing the In Memoriam ending with Chester Bennington... that was really moving and I thought it was a great performance! And Bruno Mars and Childish Gambino were really great too... Bruno Mars is so fun to watch perform! And I love Childish Gambino and I thought they did a beautiful job with everything.

I was a little sad that Ed Sheeran wasn't at the awards... I would have liked to see him perform... I also would have loved to see Lorde perform... I was upset that she didn't perform anything! She was also the only woman nominated for Album of the year... so that was kind of something to take note of too... I thought Joanne and Rainbow should have been nominated... but they're doing great things on their own anyway... but whatever lol. I want them to be nominated... especially with how unique Rainbow was... I do think Bruno Mars deserved it... but Rainbow should have been nominated.

Alright back to the events of the show... James Corden was a really funny host. I liked the Carpool Karaoke on the subway with Shaggy and Sting... and Shaggy said "wasn't me" which is just really funny. I liked the bit with James Corden's parents going to Hamilton... which apparently they really did! And I liked that James promoted his own movie "Into the Woods" while introducing Anna Kenderick... I love that movie and Corden did such a great job in that too... lol. I just thought he was funny.

And I didn't mention the most moving performance of the night because I didn't actually see it. I missed the tribute to the victims from Las Vegas... but I think it's amazing that they honored the fans that were at a regular concert and unfortunately were killed in a senseless tragedy. From what I saw the tribute was really beautiful.

I thought it was a great year for music and I'm happy I watched the awards!

Bye!

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...
