Hump Day Update 1/31/18

What I'm Watching
Last week I was sick and I was mostly watching Black Mirror... which probably isn't the best thing to watch when you're sick... I have recaps of that coming up on Sundays... I finished up season 4 and then I went back to season 1 and now I'm on season 3... I feel like I might need a bit of a break from it for a few days though... just because it's a heavy show and the episode I watched last night made me kind of uneasy... so I'm just going to kind of proceed with caution when I watch the next few episodes.

I also started watching Arrested Development again... which has been a lot of fun. I love that show it's my favorite tv show ever... and I'm really happy with it!

The Goldbergs 1990 something spinoff special was pretty great. I just liked it a lot. I hope they make that into a tv show...

I also really liked Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Jane The Virgin this week. It was the return of both of those shows... which is pretty cool! I thought they did a great job.

News 

I've been watching the Phillip Defranco show lately... I follow the news pretty regularly... but mostly I watch local news that isn't really anything I report on here... but The Phillip Defranco show had an interesting story so I'll mention that...

A girl with Alopecia was attacked at her school by a bully that filmed themselves grabbing her wig and they said "Weave snatchers." The wig was actually attached to her... so it was actually painful how they grabbed it off of her and chunks of her hair were missing and wigs are not cheap I'm guessing... so they actually destroyed this property of hers... the school didn't do that much about it- they gave the kid an in-school suspension and the principal is trying to encourage people not to share the video... he's claiming it is because it encourages this sort of negativity... when in this kind of situation it does not actually do that... it brings awareness to an actual issue... and the girl's parents are pressing charges and the girl has since just stopped wearing wigs to show that she is just as beautiful as anyone with a full head of hair... and I think that kind of reaction is awesome. I'm going to link the video just because I don't know if I got the full story exactly right... but I was saddened about the bullying situation- but I really think this girl is brave and beautiful for how she's taking it and I think she's handling it more maturely than I would have... so here is the link to that video. There's a lot of other interesting and weird things going on right now too.

Food and Drink 

When I was starting to feel better last week I had a Vanilla Bean Frappucino that was really good. I liked it a lot... I also had some Ramen from a really good new Ramen restaurant near me that I'll review soon.

Favorites 

I'm not sure if this is a favorite or not... but I read the book The Grownup by Gillian Flynn yesterday... that's an interesting one... I'll write about that soon.

And I already did a blog post on The Grammy's... but I did really like them and maybe I'll do a music review on some of the nominated albums soon?

Other Stuff 
I did my first youtube collaboration and I'm really excited about that!

I also have a collab coming up on Friday that I'm pretty excited about too and I need to edit for that one!

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
