Music Monday: Folklore Review

 So... Taylor Swift's music... it's always cute and fun to listen too but sometime... idk. I feel like she's matured a lot as an artist and as a celebrity and I was really excited to hear that she came out with a new album in quarantine. And honestly- I think it's her best since Red. Idk why- Red just kind of happened to be my favorite. I didn't listen to all of Reputation or Lover-but I've listened to all of her other albums though so... yeah! 

So I didn't listen to the whole album at once- which I think is the way you should listen to this. I just didn't have time for it... and I like it but... I just didn't get to listen to it all at once. I did still get the connection between all of the songs though. I've heard that the whole album is a story about a love triangle told from different points of view- and I believe that's true. There are connections and references to other songs within the songs... and I thought it was really clever. 

The one problem I kind of had with this album was that all of the songs sounded similar... I'm not quite sure I can even pick a favorite song because they all sounded kind of similar to me and I forget which ones I liked. I liked Mad Woman and Betty a lot. Betty I think is the song where I really got the connections. I was a little confused because I thought it was written about Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's kids and I was like "Wahhht?" Because it's kind of a mature song- but she just used their names in the song- revealing Betty to be their baby girl's name. Which is cute. 

So yeah overall... it's a good album... I'll listen to it again and I'll try to listen to some of her other albums that I haven't heard in a while because- I do really like Taylor Swift. 

So I think that's it! 

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...
