February 2nd 1:45AM New Blogging Style, Late Night Thoughts, KFC Bowls, Cleaning and TV

Sooo happy Groundhog Day! Is there an all day marathon of the movie Groundhog day on some channel? There probably is and if there isn't this should be a thing and maybe I will actually watch it for the first time today.

This is kind of a different blog for me... and I kind of want to introduce it but at the same time not introduce it... if that makes sense? It doesn't... so I'm going to kind of explain this anyway.

So I was trying to think of ideas of actual books I want to write, movies I want to write... there's a short story I would love to make into a novel but now I'm thinking "Maybe I'm just too attached to this story and I need not to write it and just leave it as a short story... I don't know... it's something I wrote in creative writing in college... so I'm sure it isn't as good as I think it is... but it has potential and I need to do something more with that... or something more with writing in general... because mainly what I do is this blog.

And I have to say... I love this blog... but I feel like it's holding me back a little bit. I don't want to completely stop what I'm doing because I'm proud of what I have been doing on here... but also it's like I could spend some a lot more effort writing something better when I'm instead writing a TV show review for a show I'll probably never watch again in my life. Seriously, there's a review on the tv show Blindspot on this blog... NO ONE watches Blindspot... I had no real business doing a review on that and I have no real intention on watching it again although I think I did give it a good review and said I would watch it again... which at the time I did think I would... but you guys know I won't!

So while I do think what I watch and what I've been liking is an important part of my life and this is Scribbles About Life after all... or Scribblles about Life if you want to be technical lol... I think I want to do more of this where I just sit down at the Keyboard after a day of living my life... and give you kind of a breakdown, kind of a highlight real... kind of trying to take the most mundane moments of everyday life and making them something worthy of reading. I appreciate anyone that reads any post at all... but I feel like opening up on the internet is scary and it's something that I kind of want to do a little more... so yeah.

Sooo... Onto What Actually Happened Today 

Today... I kind of lived on the edge food-wise. For lunch I had a KFC Famous Bowl and for dinner I ate Tacos... this is not a combination that people should be eating probably... especially if you have a stomach. KFC is typically the type of food I eat when I'm constipated... and tacos are tacos.

Also if you've never had a famous bowl from KFC before... it is an experience. I think I'll do a review of this... but overall I would recommend. I would also recommend getting it without cheese because I think the cheese just sits out all day and they just throw it on top of the bowl hoping it melts on top of everything else and it just doesn't quite work right... but the gravy kind of overpowers it and makes it better. I do think I'm going to dedicate a WHOLE blog post to the KFC Famous Bowl because... it deserves one... but this is just a little pre-review... thats an experience.

The tacos were really good too. My mom made the tacos... the cheese she had was MUCH better than the KFC cheese. I was a little bit too full from KFC to eat the whole thing... so I just ate one... but that was pretty good.

I don't really want the KFC Famous Bowl to interrupt from the real things that happened today that were actually really good... but I feel like when I think of February 1st 2018 it will probably be remembered as THE DAY I TRIED THE KFC BOWL rather than THE DAY MY NIECE AND MY DOG WERE BOTH ESPECIALLY ADORABLE! And when I say especially adorable... it was ESPECIALLY adorable. My niece just turned 1 in January and she is such a sweet, funny a beautiful little baby... I'm very lucky to be her aunt and that I babysit her a whole lot... she's the best! And she was all smiles this morning and she loved seeing my dog and my dog was just cuddling on my lap so nice... it was just really sweet. And then later I cuddled my niece and she fell asleep and she gave me lots of hugs and big smiles and laughs... it was just really a nice, fun day! I just really enjoyed those things.

I also got to talk on the phone with my best friend for about an hour or more... and that's something I don't do enough. I'm not a good person on the phone... unless I'm related to someone or I've known someone for 10years plus... I don't really like the phone. I dated a guy for a long time and one time when he called me he said "you sound really sad or stressed" and my answer was "No I just really hate the phone," which was funny... but yeah. I just need to know a person for a long time before I feel comfortable talking to them on the phone. I feel like I'm better with it now that I have a youtube channel... but it scared me for a long time lol.

But yeah... that was really fun. She's getting married in... a few weeks at this point which is super exciting and cool! That's not really what we talked about- but it just kind of added excitement to the conversation. It just felt like we were back in 6th grade talking about whatever we used to talk about back then... which is always a fun feeling of nostalgia.

I also kind of want to mention tv I watched tonight... AP Bio... I kind of want to do a review of that show... but this one I really need to watch a few more episodes of first because I don't really know how I felt about it. It's pretty funny, and it is A LOT like community- and I like Glen Howerton and Patton Oswalt and I think the show has a lot of potential... but I wasn't overly in love with the first episode. Glen Howerton's character is VERY unlikable. Like if you thought Jeff Winger from Community was unlikable in the pilot... Glen Howerton's character on this is almost his evil twin... and there was kind of a redeemable moment at the end I think where you could tell he kind of cares about things... but idk. I was going to write an equally unlikable character for a story I was working on and then I was like "I'm not sure how invested people will be in this woman." ... but now I think maybe it's perfect for this character to be THAT unlikable. So... yeah.

And now I'm listening to Fall Out Boy because I can kind of write when they're on... it's hard to concentrate on stuff- but now I feel more like I did in High School... and I did actually write a lot in high school... so yeah.

So... yeah that is about everything... I hope this all made sense and that you guys kind of like this new style of the blog that I'm doing... I don't think this will be everyday... but this might be more often than reviews and things... just because.

It's 2:22am right now... so I'm just going to schedule this and end it... and do something else... cause idk if I can get to sleep.

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...

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...

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 ...
