Weekly Wrap Up: July 12th 2020

Favorites 

Peter Monn- I feel bad watching drama commentary channels but... Peter Monn is really funny and he has a fun personality... plus every once and a while there's youtube drama that I like to listen to... actually I kind of follow a lot of commentary channels right now so... yeah. Peter Monn's the one that makes me laugh and not feel as hopeless about the world right now. I should watch his other channels too. 

The Pool- I went in the pool a couple of times this week. It was nice and relaxing so... that was good. I went in with my niece the first time and then read a book the second time. 

Life Scribbles 

Sunday I had the day off so my sister and niece came over and went in the pool with us... like I just mentioned. I might have talked about that last week because I write these on Sunday but... it was good. 

The rest of the week I worked... longer hours too because we  got a lot of hours this week. I had a day off on Wednesday so my boyfriend and I went to the mall and had lunch and dinner together. 

Noteworthy Snacks 

I finally got Frutta Bowl again... SOOO YUMMY! I love their bowls. I also had Mogo... I love Mogo but I ordered something different and I'm not sure it was enough food. 

Funyuns... I love how crispy these are... and I'm kind of liking onions a lot lately because my mom's been making a lot of salsas... so that's a new flavor I really like a lot. 

I also like the Purple Doritos, which are the Sweet Spicy Chili Flavor... which are also really good and flavorful! 

TV Highlights 

I watched another episode of The Bachelor Greatest Seasons Ever and they showed the first season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and they showed some of Trista's wedding. I actually watched the first season of The Bachelorette and I was rooting for Trista to choose Ryan so I was really happy for that! I liked Charlie a lot too but I'm happy she chose Ryan and that they're still together and they have a life together. They're so cute and they have a lovely family. 

News and World Events 

Okay this technically happened last week but DRAMAGEDDON 3 in the beauty community. Tati made a video saying that Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star gaslighted her into making a video against James Charles where she accused him of some really horrible things. I believe most of what Tati said in her video. It all seemed to make sense... and as someone that was a big fan of Shane Dawson... I'm really disappointed. He admitted that he knew Tati was making the video... that's enough for him to be more guilty than he is letting on... so yeah. 

Ohhh and I think this happened either this week or last week but Amy Cooper was arrested for calling the police saying that she was being attacked by a black man in Central Park when he wasn't attacking her at all- Chistian Cooper (no relation) simply asked her to put a leash on her dog. He was just minding his business bird watching. She was fired right after the incident but no legal action was taken and now she's been arrested... so that's a good thing at least. 

And of corse the very tragic news about Naya Rivera. I'm sure you've heard this story but the actress that played Santana on Glee went on a boating trip with her 4 year old son and it is believed that a riptide got her and she's now presumed dead and there are still search teams looking for her. Her family are in my thoughts right now, especially her son who was found alone on the boat after she disappeared. 


Thoughts 

I know the news is all kind of sad this week... I would love to put a more uplifting story at the end here to make things better... but there aren't really any that I know of right now... I'm sure there was some more uplifting stuff but... I just don't know or can't recall it right now... so I guess here's a good spot to quote John Lennon- Be The Change You Want To See In The World. 

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...
