Scribbles About TV:Shannon Watches Westworld (Pilot)

Okay... so I thought I would do a few more of these similar to my Black Mirror Recaps... right now I just watched the Westworld Pilot... and I'm intrigued. It isn't unlike Black Mirror... idk if I'll bingewatch all the episodes right away- I think I'll just watch a little at a time and I'll write about it when I do.

I feel like this almost isn't my cup of tea... but I did kind of like it... and I think the way that they told the story of the first episode was pretty good.

And a brief sort of synopsis of what the show is about... it looks like a regular Western show and that appears to be where the action takes place... but then you learn it isn't really set in a Western atmosphere... it's a theme park and everyone inside the theme park is a robot and they're having difficulties maintaining the robots- especially with the visitors.

And the way that they show the robots is kind of grotesque looking- but also beautiful. They're all incredibly beautiful people and they show flies around them, usually flies land on them and they don't respond to the fly because they were programmed to "literally not even harm a fly" so that guests would never be harmed by them... and *spoilers* but at the end of the episode, the character does swat at the fly, killing it... and that was just a really interesting thing to me. I thought that was cool- it poses a lot of problems and... I'm interested to see what happens next.

I think that's all I want to say about it. I don't know if I was 100% paying attention to every part... but I sort of liked the twist about the main robot that we're watching throughout the show...I don't really want to give that away... not 100% sure it is a real twist either though hahaha... but I just liked it. I think it's going to be important... I guess I'll update if it does or not. Lol.

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
