The Daily Something

 So... I thought I'd write about my day today. I kind of want to get back to my youtube channel and do "Day Off Vlogs" but... I thought I would do a day off chronicles here today because... "Today is one of those days" as my niece said today.  So yeah I woke up around 10 or so... my mom told me to get up because I was going with her to pick up my niece from school and then we were going to my grandmother's house and we were planning on having a little pizza party at her house. There was a problem though... Our Pizza Place is closed on Tuesdays currently! So we ended up going to Chilli's. We took out some Classic Nachos, the Southwest Eggrolls... which I don't like... and some chips and salsa. It was all pretty good! I love Chilli's!  Then I had a foot doctor appointment and the toenail I lost a few months ago is growing back nicely! Yayy and Eww! Sorry TMI but I'm super happy with how it is growing and I want to keep it that way!  Anyway afte...

 Alright... this is REALLY Random. And actually it's across 3 Target trips so... yeah. It's big.  I'll start with the clothes... cause I bought a lot. I think they're all from Universal Thread... but there might be some others too. I feel like the theme is orange!  A few months ago I got a few different colors of a long sleeved ribbed t shirt that I really liked and I found that in orange... so I got that.  I also got an orange tank top that was kind of similar. I have some orange clothes that need a tank top under them. Like Flannels and things that are sort of jackets/wrap shirts. This is also kind of light. I bought a size down from what I normally buy I think because this was the same kind of shirt of a medium shirt I bought that actually ended up fitting me even though I'm not usually medium... so this was a size up from that and a size down from my usual... but I liked it!  This is just a very pretty kind of delicate orange shirt... this might actually be ...

 This is random because I want to do a Movie Monday... but I haven't watched any movies lately... so I'm just going to chose 10 Random Movies that I might not have seen in a while and... give them a little mini review... Based on basically nothing.  1) Teen Titans Go To The Movies(2018) - I saw this about a year ago I think... I liked it. It was cute and funny. I was never really into Teen Titans or Teen Titans go... but Teen Titans Go To The Movies was really good! It was funny, had a nice story and a Stan  Lee Cameo- which ended up being one of his last. It was just good- I'd totally recommend checking it out!  2) The Heat (2013) -   I really liked this movie at the time I saw it. I actually saw it twice in theaters. I own the DVD or Blu Ray now- but still haven't watched it since it was in theaters. Very funny... but sometimes if I see a movie more than once in theaters- I'm okay with never seeing it again in real life. It's weird... but I still kind of ...

 So overall I still really liked this season... but I think it might be the show's worst. Not so much for the episodes... but I feel like there were a couple of episodes that were a little weird- like they felt like they made them for season 2 and somehow they ended up in this season... there was one episode where there was no mention of Alex and Dave being a couple and it seemed like Dave was still living with Max when he had already moved in with Alex. Plus Penny was in a relationship during this point and there were a couple of episodes that seemed like they didn't happen then. It was a little weird.  Other than that I think my favorite episode was More Like Stanksgiving... where the gang watch an episode of Road Rules that they were on that shows that Brad hated Jane at first and that Jane was not looking for Brad when she first hooked up with him- she was looking for another guy in the house. It was a funny show.  I also like the episode No Ho Ho where the gang finds...

 Alright so I recently mentioned that all of the Friends kind of have their own common behaviors when it comes to their love interests.  Rachel in particular get's very girlish crushes on the guys she's interested in and it goes unrequited for a while- but then eventually they end up falling in love with Rachel and dating her for at least a little bit.  So in Season 1- Rachel dates Paolo. Right away she just goes for it with him and they end up together until he tries to cheat on her with Phoebe. Rachel also sleeps with Barry- who cheated on her with her best friend Mindy and she leaves him at the alter not because of the cheating... but because she was bored by Barry and knew that she couldn't spend the rest of her life with him. He is engaged to Mindy when Barry sleeps with Rachel.  Season 2- Rachel finds out that Ross was in love with her the whole time he's known her... and she begins to have feelings for him... and quickly finds out that he's moved on with anot...

 Hey guys I thought I'd do a little end of the month update on things I did in September that were memorable or interesting and some important things.  So first off in September we took my dog to the vet and we found out he has heart failure... which was really hard on me this whole month. He's doing a lot better than he was- he did have to stay overnight at the animal hospital one day and... it's hard right now because of Covid-19 we cannot go in to see the vet with Spencer... but he seems to be doing a lot better and he's on a lot of medicine... but he's acting more himself and he seems to be a little better every day. We don't really know what will happen in the future so that's hard... but he's doing well right now and he's very happy and very loved so... he'll have a happy life and we will have a happy life with him.  So... that made some other things harder for me like I had been doing very well with Yoga last month and this month... I have...

 Okay- so I'm a big fan of the Archer Farms Trail Mixes and I think their seasonal ones are really really great. Some more indulgent than actually healthy... but this I think is more of a healthy one... but not too healthy lol.  There are Cinnamon Coated Pretzels, Pumpkin Seeds, Yogurt Covered Rasins and Roasted nuts that have a pumpkin flavoring to them.  All of these mix really well together. The yogurt covered raisins actually taste really refreshing and delicious, the cinnamon coated pretzels are a reallt nice tasty treat and the nuts have a really great spicy pumpkiny flavor to them.  I kind of wish there were a few more pumpkin seeds in here... I could even do with something else on the more savory side like sunflower seeds or something. Maybe some cereal for a crunch... it was still really good but I feel like there isn't that much variety in the trail mix...  I'd still totally buy this again. It's really really good and it's a nice treat for the fall....

 Okay- so I haven't rewatched Parasite Yet- but I did come up with another theory... in which I'm going to kind of break down all of the different parasitic relationships in Parasite.  So you should only read this if you haven't watched the movie yet because there is a major twist in the movie that you want to keep as a twist... but I'll write a little synopsis just in case you need a refresher. In the movie Parasite explores the relationships between the Rich and The Poor- and even explores the relationships of the poor and how they fight amongst each other just for a slightly better place in life. The Kim family is a poor family trying to work their hardest to fold pizza boxes for money- they then each con their way into working for the Parks- a wealthy family. When the wealthy family leaves for the weekend, they leave the mother of the Kim family- Chung-Sook- who is their housekeeper in charge of watching their house. The entire Kim family ends up staying at the hous...

 Okay Happy Endings Season 2 is probably my favorite season of the show. I think it has my favorite episode of the show- which is The Butterfly Effect Effect. It also has great ones like The Kerkovitch Way and the finale is really funny.  This was the first full season of the show and I think the characters were all really well established by then. I mean the Pilot gave us a good idea of who they were... but I feel like this season just takes it a step further. Max and Dave still live together, Penny moves into a new place and Alex ends up being her roommate and we see how Brad and Jane's marriage works a little better. I think I like this dynamic of the show the best... even though I still like when Dave and Alex are a couple and they move in together... but something about this just works out the best in my opinion.  It's also kind of fun because there's sort of a love triangle between Alex, Dave and Penny. Penny is perpetually single and I kind of wish the show had gon...

Some quick changes to the blog...  So I used to like doing Friends Friday every Friday- and I still like doing that but... I wanted to do other shows too and I think I'm going to move my Weekly Wrap up to Friday and I'll still do TV reviews on Saturday... but I might not post on Sunday. I might still... but that's the blog I always miss anyway. And with that... here's the post.  So... The Names on Atlanta  So yeah. My boyfriend and I started watching Atlanta... kind of the most brilliant show on television... like... they have an episode that's basically a horror episode with none of the main characters... and it's hilarious and actually really really deep... I'll come back to this episode sometime soon on this but... it's a really great show.  But a couple of the names on the show stand out and you can tell they have deeper meaning.  Earnest "Earn" Marks- Okay so Donald Glover's character is Earn. So the show centers around Earnest being k...

 So... this was inspired by some T Shirts that we sell in my section of the store I work at. There was a shirt for Yosemite, Death Valley and the Grand Canyon and... I want to go to some of those places and it made me think of other places!  Yellowstone National Park  I really want to see Old Faithful. Idk- something about how natural geysers occur is really beautiful and interesting. I would love to see it! Plus the park itself just looks beautiful and... Yogi Bear lol.  Joshua Tree  These trees are just so cool looking! Idk they're weird and cool and I love them! I really want to see them in person.  The Grand Canyon  I need to see The Grand Canyon. I've wanted to go since I saw it on The Brady Bunch as a kid... so this is just one of those things I think you really need to see!  Chicago  I've just always wanted to go here. A lot of my favorite comedians got their start in Chicago, Fall Out Boy is in Chicago... it's just a place I think is ...

 Alright- I had to get 'em! 3 Archer Farm flavors of cookies. I'm not sure if these are new or not- but this was my first time having them. So I got the Maple Truffle Butter Cookies, The Pumpkin Spice Creme Filled Wafer Cookies and the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies.  So I'm going to review them from Worst to Best. They're all pretty good- but there's one I wouldn't buy again.  Pumpkin Spice Filled Wafer Cookies  These... taste a little weird. I feel like sometimes pumpkin spice can taste a few different ways... one like actual pumpkin spice, two like a candle or 3 like chicken curry. The first time I tried it it tasted like Pumpkin Spice to me... which was good. But the second time it sort of tasted like a candle and now when I eat it... it just tastes like chicken curry. I kissed my boyfriend after he ate one of these and I think he said he tasted like Barbecue sauce or something... and he was pretty sure this was why and I was like "really?" and now tha...

 Okay... so this movie is very well directed, the acting is great, the message is great... but the writing is a little bit unrealistic. It is supposed to be like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde focusing on the police brutality and social justice issues that are important right now.  So it starts with Queen and Slim on a date that's going... kind of badly. Queen mentions she's a lawyer and she has a client that was executed and she's upset about that but she didn't want to cancel the date because she liked how Slim looked... and it just kind of kept getting awkward.... and then he drove her home... which honestly is a little weird for someone you're just meeting to drive you home after a first date. My boyfriend and I kept going like "huh... wait a minute..."  And Slim gets pulled over for no reason and his car is searched for no reason without a warrant... and it looks like the cop is about to kill him- so he kills the cop first and they run away right away....

 Alright... here's my It List for the month of September! I haven't done this in a while... but I already know I have some faves!  1) Happy Endings- So this is a show that ended a few years ago... and it only lasted 3 seasons but it's such a funny show that I'm really excited that I now own it. I just finished watching it... they also have a reunion on youtube that I watched that was really funny- it was a skype call... it's such a funny show and it's one I can watch again and again even though it's so short. Really like this one!  2) Atlanta- Omg... this is such a good show. It's just very silly. You see Donald Glover play a man that's just trying to make some money for his family and he ends up becoming a manager for his cousin who is a a rapper named Paper Boi- who sings a song called Paper Boi... that you will get stuck in your head. There's a really funny episode of Paper Boi on a Public Access show- there's an episode about a Juneteenth...

 Okay... so I feel like this is going to be hard for me to explain because there's a new Target coming to my area and it's going to be HUGE and I'm hoping they make it more like the fancier new renovation of target that a lot of the bigger stores are getting. I've seen the fancier remodel in the Manalapin store and a store in Watchung... I'm not sure why these stores are just somehow... better. I like the new remodel that's in my regular Target... and I'm all on board for any Target... but that Manalapin Target is really nice.  So here are some pictures of some things that I think you might find in my Target  We have all the clothes in one area. All the brands are kept together but the displays are kind of simple. The beauty section in this picture might be a little bit bigger than the one in my Target- but it still kind of looks like this where it's sort of designed to look like a Sephora or Department Store Makeup Counter or something. It's very ea...

 Alright! The post I usually forget about... Weekly Wrap Up! Hope you guys like it!  Favorites  Parasite- I finally watched the movie Parasite and OMG! Can't believe it took me that long to see it... but I finally did and it is amazing! I love it! I did one review and I will probably have a bigger spoiler review soon... I still want to watch the movie again before I do that but... it was really good. Not as scary as I thought it was going to be!  Happy Endings- This is a TV Show I've recently bought on DVD and I talked about it yesterday. I've been watching it a lot lately and it's really good and really funny! I am going to talk more about this on my Saturday blogs!  Bang by AJR- So my mom heard this song on the radio and... it's really really good! I just like it a lot! It's really good and catchy! I've only heard it once... but it's really great!  Life Scribbles  This was a sad week for me. My dog went to the vet and we found out that he has an enla...

 Back in 2011 there was a short lived but brilliant TV show called Happy Endings on ABC. The show centers around a 6 person friend group... sound familar? But it's not exactly like Friends. It's really funny- they mention a lot of pop culture from the time and... it's just a fun show.  So the dynamic between the friends... Jane and Brad are a married couple. Jane is very very Type A. Brad is pretty silly but he's also kind of fancy I would say. Like he has the most stable and best job of the group and he wears the nicest clothes.  Penny is played by Casey Wilson and she is the perpetually single girl of the group. She's always got a new boyfriend and she's very dramatic about things. She has the main catchphrase of the show which is "Ah- Mahzing" and that's really funny.  Then there's Max- who is gay but does not act gay in the least. He's played by Adam Pally... who tends to play this character a lot but in this version he's gay.  And ...

Okay so I was bored in my house and in my house bored... and I saw something about a Dunkin Donuts TikTok sandwich... so I had to try it out.  I saw it on my local radio station- 94.3 The Point's facebook page and... I was intrigued. A lot of local bagel shops do this type of sandwich already but... I had never seen it before and it looked like something I would either really like or really not like... but if it didn't work I could just eat the items seperately really easily.  So the sandwich is a Bagel- I used Sesame Seed with cream cheese and then you get a side of bacon and hashbrowns and put those on the bagel... and honestly it was really really delicious! I didn't know how I would like the bacon and hashbrowns mixed with the cream cheese... but it actually really tasted good.  I got the Snackin Bacon, which was really delicious and it had a mapley flavor with pepper that tasted really really good with the creamy flavor of the cream cheese. And at first I thought the...

 Alright... so maybe this fall won't be as exciting as other falls... but I feel like that will give us more to be excited about and more to do. Maybe we won't get to see all the excited Horror Movies that were supposed to come out- but we can stay home and watch our favorites or some that we've maybe missed. Maybe trick or treating will be different- but I think it can still be done in a socially distant way. I'm sure there are a lot of things to enjoy this fall that will be the same as other years.  One thing I would love to do that I'm pretty sure will be very safe if it is open is pumpkin picking and apple picking... and I think I would like to do that this year. I would also be excited to paint pumpkins and make a recipe with the apples. If I do go pumpkin or apple picking lol.  There's also this cider drink that my dad made last year. We got Delicious Orchards apple cider... which is the best Apple Cider and we used Smirnoff Caramel Vodka with it and it ta...

 So Universal Thread is probably my favorite clothing brand of Target... And I have some reason.  Fair Trade and Sustainability  So on the website it mentions that they are Fair trade Certified and it says they are impacting 25,000 lives and counting... so that sounds good to me. They also use sustainably sourced cotton and recycled polyester so... that's really pretty cool.  The Comfiest Jeans Ever  They have Flannel Lined Jeans... which are the best thing ever created for fall and winter. I really really love these jeans.  Simple Jewelry  I'm not sure why but I love their very simple jewelry designs. They can kind of go with any outfit and they  just really look nice. I always get compliments when I wear a Universal Thread Jewelry Item.  Very Trendy Clothes for different seasons  Their clothes make me WANT to buy them! They're just super cute!  Alright! That is it! Hope you guys like this!  Bye!  -Shannon
