Friends Friday: Phoebe Buffay- The Greatest Artist of Our Generation

So on Friends Friday I'm going to post WHATEVER I want about Friends. I've seen every episode of Friends at least a million times and it's a show I pretty much watch daily- lately I've been watching it pretty much all day... so there are things I pick up on. Sure the episodes are still the same as they've always been... but I change every time I watch an episode. So with that... let's do a little bit of a Phoebe Buffay Appreciation Post! 

Phoebe might be my favorite Friend. It has switched a lot over the years... but I feel like if you asked someone that knew me which friend I was most like... they'd probably say Phoebe. In fact I'm pretty sure my roommate my sophomore year of college said "Yeah, you're definitely a Phoebe" and I don't think she knew me that well really... but she lived with me and I appreciated the thought of her thinking me like a Phoebe. 

So aside from my personal connection with Phoebe- She really is a talented person! Her main job is a masseuse... but she also taught herself guitar and she does art work... and that includes her masterpieces Gladys and Glynnis. 




So Gladys and Glynnis are 2 paintings Phoebe made of women coming out of paintings. And they are a little scary- but I think these are really cool. I would put these up in my house- I'm not even going to lie lol. So it looks like these have mannequin pieces- but I think Gladys also has some paper mâché in there too... maybe I'm wrong but for the sake of me making connections- there's some paper mâché in there. These 2 are featured heavily in "The One With Ross's Grant" where Mike and Phoebe get engaged and he makes her get rid of these 2 paintings before he moves in. She gives Gladys to Monica- who then pawns her off on Rachel and the two try to go back and forth with each other and... it's really funny. 

Anyway why is the paper mâché so important? Phoebe also has a song that was featured in The One With Joey's New Girlfriend- which is when Phoebe gets sick and has a sexy voice- that is called "Paper Mâché Man" in which the lyrics are "I'm still waiting for my paper mâché  man." Are Gladys and Glynnis coming out of the painting because they're waiting for their paper mâché man? Is that why Rachel tells them that they're haunted and they try to haunt Joey? Who knows! 

Anyway I just thought this was a fun connection... even if it isn't a connection... I still think Phoebe Buffay may just be the greatest artist of our generation. 

Bye!

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...

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...
