The Proposal Review

Yep... that was just about as bad as I thought it was. Bye! -Shannon Okay but seriously... this show is kind of a big problem that I think we have right now. And maybe it's partially because I saw an episode where the men judged the women... but I don't really think it's going to get better or different... Most of the women weren't like real working class women... they had kind of unique jobs... and I don't mean to insult them at all... but there aren't really many teachers or doctors or anything... and those women don't get to the top rounds... and I don't want to insult these women for their jobs. I know that doctors probably don't have time for these silly dating shows and Life Coaches and Surf Instructors probably have more time to do these things- and it probably helps them more whereas a teacher or someone might get in trouble for being too racy during a season or something. And they have things like a swimsuit competition... I googl...

Marvel Monday: Why Some Marvel Movies Have Some Unsatisfying Endings (No Infinity War Spoilers)

Okay...so now I haven't actually seen infinity war yet... and I have somewhat an idea of how it ends- but I have not seen the movie so I really can't spoil it in this post... so if you haven't seen Infinity War yet... don't fret! I won't be talking about it... at least not the end of it... I'll maybe make a mention of it... but I haven't seen it yet- so take it with a grain of salt I guess because really idk if I'll end up liking that or not... I don't know what to expect of it! But yeah... anyway on to my main point. I'll probably be spoiling Civil War and Age of Ultron a little... so if you haven't seen those be warned... but other than that- this is it. So... the one tiny complaint I have about a lot of these Marvel Movies is that as amazing as they are... sometimes the ends are a little bit lacklustre. It isn't like it's a bad finale scene or something... but for the most part... they're very open ended. Obviously... you pro...

The Proposal- I'm confused as to what this show is about but let's talk about it!

Okay... so right now it's June 18th and right after The Bachelorette ends- a show called The Proposal starts... and I'm confused as to what it's about. So I'm going to talk about it... discuss why I think we're being subjected to this and... then maybe review it? I'm sure its not on by the time I post this... so I don't think I'll actually give it a review... but you bet I'm watching it! Lol. So this seems like one of those bizarre decisions that I don't understand. Like last summer they had a show that Mario Lopez hosted where people would play Candy Crush for a half hour... and I'm like... okay but I would rather see anything else... So that was a thing people thought would be a good idea. Anyway now there's this show which is like a pageant... but at the end there's a proposal by strangers. Or maybe they aren't strangers because they mention "A Secret Admirer" and they keep emphasizing that these people will be ma...

A Weekend In The Life: My Mom's Birthday+ Father's Day Weekend

So I had a particularly fun weekend and I thought that I would share a little bit about it! I'm writing this on June 18th and my family just celebrated My Mom's Birthday and Father's Day... so I'll explain what happened. Friday Night: Mom's Bday Party  This was fun. We went out to a restaurant we frequent at least once a week and we had some of our friends and our family with us. It was a lot of fun. My sister and her husband were there with their baby- and she's just a ton of fun and my best buddy.... so we ate at the restaurant and then we came home for cake and she was just having fun and walking all around. We watched some Sesame Street... it was all really good! I had really good tortellini and then the dessert was my mom's favorite chocolate coconut cake. Saturday: A Day Inside With Guests  Saturday was a little more of a lazy day. We didn't really intend for it to be a lazy day... but we were waiting for my sister to come over for the da...

Search Party Season 1: Characters and Why I Love Them!

Yesterday I reviewed the first season of a show on TBS called Search Party... and today I kind of want to do a little bit of a character breakdown of everyone and I want to explain why everyone is so important. I think maybe there are some more characters in Season 2 that I don't know yet... but I haven't seen season 2 as of when I'm writing this so I'm just going to talk about Season 1 of corse! Spoilers! Keith  Keith is a pretty great character because we still don't really know what his deal was. A lot of this season was about Dory blindly trusting things and following her instincts and Keith is the ultimate example of them I guess. She doesn't really know anything about the guy- she asks for no proof... but she trusts him and that proves to maybe be problematic... although it did ultimately lead her to Chantal.  It also led her to break up with her boyfriend Drew... and for Drew to end up murdering him.  So yeah maybe we will find out a littl...

Bingewatched: Search Party Season 1 *Spoilers*

Alright I've been meaning to check out some of TBS's comedies but I wasn't sure if there was a way to catch up on them or not. There is! You can watch this show and probably others on demand if you get TBS and you can watch it from their website- so that is easy and I watched this On Demand! And I realize that I spoil the end of this... so I'm just going to say that I loved this show and I would recommend you check it out and then come back to read the rest of this... I think I'm going to do another review on the characters because I loved them so much too... it's just a really good show that's a very funny dark comedy. I don't necessarily know if there's tons of suspense in this... but the characters do kind of make it! After seeing Alia Shawkat in Arrested Development Season 5 I really wanted to see more of her and see a show that she actually starred in... and she was great in it. This role was perfect for her because it wasn't an ordinary...

Shannon Loves: Fall Out Boy

Okay, yesterday I talked about my Fall Out Boy action figures and today I wanted to mention why I love fall out boy and when I started to love them. I think I'm going to do one of these types of posts once a month- that way you can understand a little bit more about me. So I remember one day in 7th or 8th grade maybe I wanted to get really into music because I didn't know too much about music at that point. I was really into movies- but not so much into music. Fortunately back then there was a cable channel that was called MTV Hits I think and they played all music videos all the time and it was awesome. I don't know if they still have it... but I really liked that. Plus there was a regular music network that had hit channels... so whenever nothing was on TV I turned those on!  So one day I turned it on and it was the music video for Sugar We're Going Down  I thought Patrick Stump was really cute. I thought the hats were kind of cool and different and I re...
