TV BREAKDOWN THURSDAY: Atlanta Name Breakdown

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 kinda broke. Kind of down on his luck in his marriage- which is now kind of an open marriage... and he finds out that his cousin Alfred is Paper Boi- who's an up and coming rapper... so Earnest figures he could get a job from his cousin and a lot of the episodes in the first season center around him trying to earn money. Plus- he's an Earnest guy on the show. His name makes a lot of sense. 

Vanessa/ Van- So Zazie Beetz plays his wife Vanessa who he refers to as Van. Earn and Van's relationship is kind of on the rocks... to say the least. One of Van's comments is that Earn always treat's her like an accessory. Like because Earn has a family- he has her... just like why people drive Van's. 

So yeah! That's everything... I'm sure there's more... there's a lot to this show and... yeah! 

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...

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...
