Hump Day Update 2/7/18

What I'm Watching 

At the moment I'm watching Inside Out... I'm about to watch 9-1-1 though because that's new tonight and they're doing a Valentines Day Episode.

I saw a theory that The Good Place and Parks and Rec took place in the same universe... and so I'm watching both shows again and seeing what happens! I liked both of the pilots... but it's kind of funny how much each show changes from the start. And it's cool to re-watch The Good Place knowing what happens.

I watched 2 episodes of Black Mirror and that was good... I'll probably be done with the series soon.

I watched This Is Us and the Super Bowl obviously... both of those I've covered on this blog. I didn't watch yesterday's episode of This Is Us... and I'm still behind on The X Files.

Trying to watch some more youtube... I have a HUGE watch Later playlist... I'm going to watch a bunch!

News 

Here is an article about the first African American Woman to become an FDNY Deputy Chief. 

Here  is an article about puppies that were in the puppy bowl after being rescued from Puerto Rico 

There was also a sad news story about a young boy that died after falling in the ice trying to save his friend. He did save that friend- so he died a hero... which is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

Food and Drink 
Drinking the Cherry Mocha from Starbucks right now... it's amazing and I love it.

Pizza Rolls... omg! Amazing!

Leftover superbowl food also!

Favorites 

The Arrested Development Soundtrack. It's called At Long Last- Music and Songs from Arrested Development and it is by David Schwartz who also does the music for The Good Place... which is COMPLETELY different and amazing!

And I've been reading a lot. I read a book called "The Princess Saves Herself in This One" by Amanda Lovelace... it's a poetry book but there's a kind of uplifting story in there too... so I really loved that actually. I've also been reading Mr. Kate's Book "A Hot Glue Gun Mess" which is a lot of fun. She has some good stories.

Other Stuff 

My dog is on my lap right now and he's nice and warm... but I need to go to the bathroom.

And I just went to the bathroom and now 9-1-1 is back on and I have my puppy on my lap and I have my coffee.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
