Best Buy Blu Ray Haul

I went to Best Buy recently with my boyfriend of corse... I feel like I talk about him in every single post... but I spend a lot of time with him. We found some good Blu Rays at pretty good prices... so I picked up quite a few movies... and I even watched a couple of them!

First and foremost we found one of my favorite movies that used to be on TV quite a lot but I haven't seen it on recently... What We Do In The Shadows! This was on Blu Ray for 7.99 or 8.99 or something. I was super excited to find that- my boyfriend's never seen the movie so he's excited to watch it too... I think he'll like it. The movie is about a group of vampires that are roommates... it's a fake documentary type of style. Really funny movie- excited to finally own this!

Next up we saw Sorry To Bother You... which was out in the summer and we both wanted to see... We didn't totally know what it was about or anything- but it was only 9.99 and we thought it'd be good for that price. We sat down to watch it and we were definitely not disappointed. I'm going to need to do a full review on this movie sometime... but I need to watch it a couple of more times to fully process everything that I saw... because this is the craziest movie out there. We thought it was just going to be about a black guy that worked at a call center and used a white voice... which it was... but there was SOOOOO much to the movie. I don't really want to say much more- cause I think part of the beauty of it is not fully knowing what to expect from the movie... but it was AMAZING!

Last but not least- we found a Blu Ray boxed set of all of the Lego Movies. So they had the Lego Movie, The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie. I had seen most of The Lego Batman Movie and I've seen The Lego Movie before... but I wanted to see both of them again before seeing The Lego Movie Part 2 and we'd never seen the Ninjago movie- but it looked funny. We did end up watching the Ninjago movie...it wasn't really that good. It had its moments- and we thought it was probably better than something like Cars... but we put it on level with something like MegaMind where it's good- but you don't really need to own it or watch it that often. It wasn't as good as The Lego Movie where I could watch it every time its on. The set of the 3 blu rays was 19.99 and it came with an $8 coupon for a ticket for The Lego Movie 2... so we were really excited!

And that's it! Not a huge haul- but 5 movies is good and they were priced pretty well too! We did see some other good movies that we might buy next time we go to Best Buy because that's what we've been doing on our date nights now that it's a little cold and not many good movies are out. We just watch DVDs at my house!

Bye!

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...
