Weekly Wrap Up: June 14th 2020

Alright here's the Weekly wrap up for this week!

Favorites

Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards-

So I just bought some Amiibo Cards from a brand called Frost and Orchid on Etsy... and they were really fun to use! I'm happy I have some villagers I really like on the island right now! I ordered Cherry and Julian because I want them to stay on my island. And I'm really happy with everyone on the island right now- but there's one house I might switch out from time to time if I feel like I want different villagers so I ordered some more. I got Merry, who I have on my island but I think that's the house I'll switch out, Fuchsia, Marshall, Bob and Marina.

Dead To Me-

So I just finished watching this show last week... it's sooo good! Season 2 I think was even better than season 1. I'm going to have reviews of it once I'm done with my New Girl Reviews... but this is such a great show! I definitely recommend it! It was so suspenseful and I just really liked it!

Lovebirds- I'm going to have a review on this on Monday but... this was a really funny movie. It's on Netflix right now and it stars Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae. They do a great job playing a couple that is dysfunctional but they both witness a crime that they then think they're being accused of... and it's just really the perfect blend of funny and suspenseful. I loved it.

Uncut Gems-

There's a suspense theme with my favorites this week. So I'll have a review on this in a couple of weeks but this is probably Adam Sandler's best performance. It is a serious movie about a Jeweler that has a lot of debt and he gets himself into a lot of trouble... and it's just a really good story told really well. I liked it a lot!

Life Scribbles

My eye was bothering me most of the week- but it feels better today.

I found out when I'll be going back to work- so that's kind of awesome. I'm excited to shop again.

Noteworthy Snacks

I had MOGO this week which is a Korean Fusion Taco place in Asbury Park NJ. Oddly I've never had tacos, my boyfriend and I ordered Kimchi Rice, KFC Wings and the Korean Tacos for dessert. It's a really good place- I'll have a review of this up soon!

I've also been making S'mores a lot... I'll have a post on that soon too.

And I made a weird breakfast sandwich/toast thing that was pretty good... I'll post about that sometime soon too.

TV Highlights

I watched the Bachelor Greatest Seasons Of All Time... and I liked watching that a lot. More news on The Bachelor in the news section! Lol.

News and World Events

The first Black Bachelor was announced: Matt James! He was going to be a contestant on Clare's season of The Bachelor but then she called him out for promoting himself on Social Media... which he was doing for charity... Matt James is also Tyler Cameron's best friend and roommate and he was part of his and Hannah Brown's Quarantine Squad... so that's really great! I hope that they aren't using this just to cover up the problems regarding diversity in the show and that they make sure to cast people that are actually willing to date someone outside of their race.

Thoughts

I'm happy to be going back to the real world fairly soon. I know it won't be exactly the same and we are still in a pandemic... but I'm happy things are starting to open back up.

And that's everything. I don't have any links this week... so that's it!

Bye!

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...

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...

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...
