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!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
