The Daily Something

After watching the new Taylor Swift Music video  (review here)  I thought I would go back and listen to some of her older songs like I did with Lady Gaga. I think I've listened to all of Taylor's cds at least once through... I know I didn't listen to her first cd and I don't think I've heard 1989 more than once... but still... I know the songs and I think she's talented! Definitely have some issues with her reactions to a joke Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made... but still. She's talented and she seems to appreciate her fanbase a lot... so that's great! Red was somewhat mentioned in the music video also... and that's what made me interested in starting here. Taylor Swift is really proud of the album and I think it's her best so far. It was still pretty country... but a good amount of pop to it too. Taylor is a great pop singer- but I think she does best with Country... I'm not a big fan of country music... but that's kind of why I like Tayl...

So... this is kind of random... but I didn't post anything yet and I don't do favorites in the Weekly Wrap Up anymore... so here we go! I'll probably talk about these again in an It List 1) American Horror Story: Cult- This season of AHS is really scary and very interesting. This weeks episode had a little bit of comic relief... in the first episode I feel like maybe there was some comic relief... but it was still pretty scary and serious. It's a good season so far though- I just really like it! 2) Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte- We know this is a favorite... it will be until the holiday flavors come out... lol. I just love the flavor of it... for fall it is delicious. I might switch it up in a little bit and get something like the Apple Spice or the Salted Caramel Mocha... but Pumpkin Spice is always nice! 3) Starbucks Pumpkin Scones- I did a review on this yesterday... it's just really yummy. Definitely put some butter on it and put it in the microwave... or ...

Okay... If you don't want to get addicted to the Starbucks Pumpkin Scones, you might not want to read this post... because it is kind of a game changer. I used to really like the pumpkin scones and I would order them a lot when I was in college. Its just a really nice, pretty filling breakfast... very pumpkiny and really good. I was looking forward to these coming back when the Pumpkin Spice Latte came back. Here's the game changer... the manager at the starbucks I go to recommended to heat the scone up and put butter on it... and that really makes a huge difference in the taste! Scones are often served with some sort of cream or something because they're a little bit dry...so the butter really helps to make it nice and moist and then when you heat it up it gets melty and it is warm and delicious! I really love it! It is a little heavy and sweet for the morning... even for me... it will kind of hold you over for lunch if you ask me. It tastes good without the butter a...

So... you can probably  guess the number 1 movie by the title of this... but I thought it was important. I mentioned last week it was the lowest Labor Day Weekend at the Box Office... and it's been the lowest summer in a while... I've personally only seen one movie this summer... but yeah. This R rated Horror Remake did really well! 10) The Emoji Movie-  Still on the Charts! This did better last week than the previous week it was out. I think this is a fun idea for a cartoon about emojis... I don't think this has quite the appeal they were hoping for. With something like Wreck It Ralph- people my age like to see it... with something like this... I'm not dying to see it. I probably will because I love cartoons... but it isn't something I was crazy about seeing... I don't think a lot of parents really wanted to see it. 9) Logan Lucky- I think this movie has Channing Tatum in it... I've talked about it before on Chart Chats... I don't think I need to fu...

Sooo I want to get back into telling you about my week again! Here we go! Sunday 9.3.17  My mom was having a party for Labor Day Weekend on Sunday. That was fun- a lot of my family came over and we had cheeseburgers... some hot dogs... some hamburgers... but it was good. My niece was over- which is always a lot of fun. The family loves seeing her. She's super funny and cute and a baby... which is fun. I see her all the time- but not everyone in my family does... so it's really cute to see her with everyone. My stye was irritated on Sunday... just a little bit... I thought it was going to go away... but today is Tuesday- and... it got worse... so I'm going to do the hot compresses and everything. It will go away. I have a chronic stye... so every once and a while something irritates it. I think it was allergies and stress this time. Monday 9.4.17  Today was actually Labor Day... and it was a really nice day out... but it was the "last day" for the labor...

So Brennan's is a Local Steakhouse near me... and now I like steak... so I thought I would review. I ordered the Filet Mignon with a baked potato. It also came with a salad... I wasn't really expecting it to come with a salad or a side. The Menu doesn't mention that entrees come with a side or a salad- it just shows the different types of Steak, Seafood, or Chicken you can order and then it gives a list of sharable sides you can order... so I was going to share a side with my parents... but instead- they let you pick out a side for yourself and a salad... which I guess is a good thing- but it was just a little unexpected. Let's start with the salad. I ordered the mixed green salad with the balsamic... it was really tasty! It came with a nice size tomato... I didn't feel like a tomato that night- so I gave it to my mom... but she said it was really good and it looked nice and juicy. The balsamic was nice, they put just the right amount on the salad... and the mix...

So... I feel like this is slowly becoming a Taylor Swift blog... Lol... It probably isn't... but she just dropped a new single and... now I'm interested in this album... so I'm reviewing it here. PS- Is she dropping a single every week now? Or every other week?  I'll check back on that and maybe I'll review some together... I really want to give fair time to all the new tv shows and even the returning ones coming this month and the next few months really... so yeah! Anyhoo- back to the song... it's kind of a rap song for taylor... and it's kind of sexy- kind of a fantasy type of thing... It reminded me of Wildest Dreams- which is what it's being compared to. I also thought that maybe the rapping thing was maybe a jab at Kanye... because Kanye is a rapper... I really thought that this whole song was about Kanye and that Taylor was kind of playing the character he portrayed her as in his song "Famous" because she mentions that she was a ...
