Hump Day Update 1/31/18

What I'm Watching Last week I was sick and I was mostly watching Black Mirror... which probably isn't the best thing to watch when you're sick... I have recaps of that coming up on Sundays... I finished up season 4 and then I went back to season 1 and now I'm on season 3... I feel like I might need a bit of a break from it for a few days though... just because it's a heavy show and the episode I watched last night made me kind of uneasy... so I'm just going to kind of proceed with caution when I watch the next few episodes. I also started watching Arrested Development again... which has been a lot of fun. I love that show it's my favorite tv show ever... and I'm really happy with it! The Goldbergs 1990 something spinoff special was pretty great. I just liked it a lot. I hope they make that into a tv show... I also really liked Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Jane The Virgin this week. It was the return of both of those shows... which is pretty cool! I tho...

10) Padmaavat 1st week on the charts, 4.9 Million total  This movie sounds pretty good... I haven't heard about it before! It is set in medieval Rajasthan and it is about a Sultan that is infatuated with the queen that is married to a noble king... I'm intrigued. I probably won't see this- I'm not sure if it is playing around me... but it sounds pretty fantastic! 9) Paddington 2 3rd week on the charts. 5.7 million this week, 32.1 million total   This sounds like a very cute movie. I saw a youtube video that was sponsored by Paddington... but it seemed like the parents enjoyed the movie as much as their kids... and their kids ranged in ages... so even though it was sponsored... it sounded cute and it seems like a movie that everyone could actually enjoy. 8) The Shape of Water 9th week on the charts. 5.9 million this week 37.9 million total  This received a bunch of Oscar nominations... despite it sounding... less than amazing in my opinion. Guillermo del Tor...

Grammy Gossip: 2018 Grammy Recap!

I was really excited for this year's Grammy Award Show... I like watching awards shows and commenting on them and anything with performances are especially fun. And there were lots of performances this time around too- which was really cool! My personal favorite performances... obviously Lady Gaga... she's my favorite and I just think she did a great job. Kenderick Lamar opened the special and did a really great job with it... it was definitely fitting with all the awards he won last year and this year also... he's really great. Kesha's performance was incredibly moving... it was just so powerful to see all those women together there to support Kesha... I would be in Awe if Cyndi Lauper was performing my song alongside of me. Another moving performance was by some of the best new artist nominees... Alessia Kara, Logic and Khalid... after seeing the In Memoriam ending with Chester Bennington... that was really moving and I thought it was a great performance! And Bruno ...

Scribbles About TV: Black Mirror S4E1 USS Callister

Sooo I've only seen one episode of Black Mirror before... but this show tends to kind of stick with you... so I thought I would watch the newest season and do some reviews... I'm not really watching the show in order just because... idk. It's a little more like watching a movie than watching a tv show. This one I was really looking forward to because I feel like this is what I see all the time whenever I hear anyone talk about Black Mirror. It might just be because this is the first episode of the newest season...either way this looked like a fun one. This episode centers around Robert Daly- played by Breaking Bad's Jesse Plemmons. He is a video game developer that had the vision to create the video game... but his partner kind of gets more credit for it. This video game is a very intricate virtual reality game... you pretty much just see people gathered in a room laying around while they play it with something on their eyes to connect them to the world of the game....

10 Sick Day Essentials (1.27.18)

Sooo... here are some things I would recommend doing/using/ eating/ drinking when you're not feeling your best. 1. Vicks Vapo Rub- Oooo my goodness... Vicks. This is just kind of amazing. I put it on and immediately I felt my sinuses clearing a little bit from the smell... it was just very nice and I just like using it. If you have headaches or migraines... this is probably also helpful! I like using it and taking a hot shower... it's just really nice! 2. Baths/Showers- This was the most fun thing I could do most of the time when I was sick... so I took advantage of that and took a few baths. I think if you take a hot shower- its supposed to feel good for sinuses/sore throats... but I didn't really feel like standing... so I liked baths... it was just kind of nice to sit in there. It felt nice and warm... which was good because I had chills... it was just really nice. 3. Blankets- You need some sleep. Make sure to be nice and warm with some blankets! My favorite are t...

Sick This Week... (1.26.18)

Ughhh I've been so sick this week! I felt fine on Monday... then Tuesday and Wednesday I felt really bad... by Thursday I was feeling a little bit better... today I'm almost back to normal... but not all the way there yet. Anyway... I thought I'd let you know how the week has been going and what some of my favorites have been anyway... cause it might be interesting even though it was very boring. So Monday was really good... mostly cause I wasn't sick at all. I went out to dinner with my friends... I did some shopping and I just had a fun time over all. We went to Teak... I had the same thing I had when I first went to Teak and I reviewed it... it was really really good! As I said... I did some shopping too... it was just nice and I got some fun stuff from Ulta and Primark... Haul sometime soon? Tuesday was when I started to feel not so good... my head was pounding- I was a little sniffly... I couldn't really eat anything... it was just kind of bad overall. I ...

10) Forever My Girl (1st week on the chart. 4.7 million dollars )   I saw a commercial for this trailer this week... I said "wow this movie looks terrible... but everyone in it is attractive so I guess that's the point. I don't like Nicholas Sparks books or movies all that much. They can be a little misogynestic and unrealistic to me... everyone else seems to love them... but I just don't like it. That being said though... this is soooo low on the charts it's surprising to me. I don't think Nicholas Sparks movies have ever been an outright flop before... but this just isn't good. I don't think the movie had a strong plot... and like I said from the previews- it didn't seem to look good at all... but again- there were attractive people in it. They'll be famous in a few years. 9) Insidious: The Last Key ( 3rd week on the charts. 5.9 million this week, 58.7 total gross)  I'm surprised that this isn't doing that well in it's second...
