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!

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...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

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...
