Hump Day Update 1/3/18

What I'm Watching

I bingewatched Riverdale... it's such a good show. I really liked the first season- I watched what I could watch on the CW's site... so I'm caught up I just missed the first 4 episodes of the new season. The first episode was just on today- so I tivoed that and I'll watch it.

That made me want to watch Gossip Girl... I always want to finish the show... I didn't really love it though and I hate Chuck Bass... I have to say I can't see rooting for a character that assaults a girl on the first episode... plus Ed Westwick has been accused of assaulting girls in real life... so that's not something I support... I honestly fast forwarded a lot of his scenes because I just couldn't stand his character. I'm going to do a bit of a Throwback Thursday tomorrow comparing this to Riverdale.... because things have changed a lot. I don't know if I'll continue watching the show... I might start with season 2 or something- idk. I wanted to know if there was anything pointing to who Gossip Girl was now that I know who it is... there was actually quite a bit... so yeah.

Now I'm watching Modern Family. I'm happy my shows are back! I watched the Tuesday shows last night... tonight the Wednesday shows are on... plus Grown-ish is on Freeform- which is exciting too... I'm just happy with the tv that is on now.

News 

Hoda Kotb is replacing Matt Lauer on The Today Show! I'm sure she'll do a great job.

Idk why this is news but apparently a Jeopardy Contestant answered a question "Gangster's Paradise" instead of "Gangsta's Paradise" and it was wrong answer... so they marked it wrong.

Food and Drink 

Gertrude Hawk Caramel Chocolate Santa's. This is kryptonite.

Favorites 

Riverdale... I think that's it!


Other Stuff 
I got comfy heels! They're for the wedding that I am bridesmaid-ing in soon.

My friend started watching The Office- which is a show I like. I started watching Gossip Girl... which is a show she likes... I think we're in a Freaky Friday scenario.

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...
