Unbreakable Kimmy+Doc Who

Today is a TV show review day!

I mainly watch tv shows.

I haven’t always but right now there are honestly way better tv shows airing rather than movies. Especially when it comes to Netflix. Their tv shows are exquisite.

UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT:

The way Netflix advertised for this show was so freaking annoying it made me not want to watch it… The freaking pop up every time you scrolled near the top of your “dashboard” page.

There was also the girl from later seasons of The Office (one of my all time favorite tv shows). The red headed receptionist who replaced beloved Pam. I automatically hated her.

But as I kept seeing gifs and memes on Tumblr from the show it looked pretty funny.

The first few episodes where a little annoying… But once I broke out of the pre judgments the humor was actually very witty and I would say almost brilliant.

The show outlines the life of a “mole woman” after she was rescued from a apocalyptic cult for most of her life. A comedy based around making fun of society’s stereotypes. (Tina Fey is one of the main writers for this show and even makes an appearance).

DOCTOR WHO:

Season 8… Netflix sure took it’s damn time.

Matt Smith is fantastic in every way shape or form. He is the Doctor (in my opinion). I can not stand any other doctor’s companion… That’s mainly why he is my favorite… Until CLARA!

I’m sorry am I the only one who loathes her? It seems like the Doc franchise seems to think the opposite. She is the most fake, stupid, boring “companion” type character I have ever witnessed in a show… ever.

I was not excited for her to continue on through the series. I know season 8 has been out for awhile so it’s a little late to cover it but honestly I couldn’t work up the tolerance to watch two seconds with anything with her face in it.

I hear they are killing her off soon which excites me.

Pete Capaldi though… Playing Sid’s dad in my favorite all time shows Skins UK. Seeing him as an alien time traveler now… Doesn’t match. Oh well. At least he hates Clara.

I don’t know I feel like they are running out of ideas or something. Opening with a dinosaur attacking London and then Clara is the only one who knows what the hell is happening?!

What has this world come to???!!!!

Clara… Just no

Camping?

I have never been camping in my life. Something about the fact that there are lots of bugs and at any point a bear could eat my face off…. Just sounds a little iffy to me.

This weekend my four best friends and I decided to try and venture into the wilderness. Figured better have one last big outing before we go to college.

Turns out everyone else in the state had a similar idea.

Unfortunately all the places were first come first served.

SO we jammed packed the car and crossed our fingers.

Well the universe was not on our side.

No spots. Checked every camp site within a 3 hour radius.

NOTHING!

We call it off… it was time to go home…

Turns out there was a lethal accident on the freaking highway!!!!! Stopped traffic for hours.

We decide we are gonna be here for an eternity so we find some back roads……….

DEAD END!!! So we climb the mountain with a freaking drop off on the side… Even though it was pitch dark by this time it was still as terrifying.

5 teenagers and an overloaded vehicle going up an extreme grade.

We finally made it home after 9 hours of basically just a detour back home….

I’d say camping is not for me.

Quote and Paper Towns

I have an app called LOVE by Tiny Buddha and everyday at 4pm it sends me a quote and this one really hit me:

“Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.” -Thomas Fuller

Now for my review:

John Green is one of my favorite authors of all time. He is sarcastic, witty, intelligent, and humorous but also beautifully profound.

Looking for Alaska is in my opinion a masterpiece. Along with the Fault in Our Stars. Their deep meaning is relentless.

I recently read Paper Towns which had me laughing and thinking. Going an adventure with the characters.

I was ecstatic to see how it was portrayed as a movie.

Knowing how adaptions go I knew to keep an open mind. But honestly even keeping that in mind it was just sad.

The screen writers cut literally the best parts of the novel and remixed them into quick lines.

The main character Q seemed as though he was an obsessive weakling. Margot Roth Spiegelman was an insensitive tease (no offense Cara Delevingne I love you deeply). Radar and Ben looked ten years younger than Q. And the deep philosophical meaning of the chase was lost and removed leaving a cheesy love story.

I’m sorry but… What the hell.

No matter. Don’t go see the movie just read the book instead. (Said every book nerd ever) But still.

SCROTAL RECALL – One of my new favorite shows…

When hearing the name of this tv show one might think I was recommending a porno… But fear not this show is a laid back British comedy on Netflix!

Netflix original shows are actually fantastic *Cough OITNB Cough*

This show is about a guy who finds out he has an STI and decides to contact every partner he’s been with the past few years.

Each episode is about one of the partners. (Making it only one season)

Now they could have made this show super dirty and gross but instead it is a silly almost heart warming journey through his innocent partners.

It is mostly a backstory to the last episode which sounds cheesy but is actually kind of original.

This series is short but refreshing…

Is it normal?

Today while I was driving I saw something very ironic;

A handyman’s slogan was, “Because you ain’t got time for that”

In reference to one of the oldest meme’s…

You get it. I loved it!

Also…

Is it normal:

-To take your cat for a walk in a child’s stroller?

-To yell in the direction of multiple people while your target audience is yards away?

-To have a strange company remotely control your computer?

-To want to throw up when you smell rotisserie chicken?

-Just not want to do anything and just binge watch the new season of Orange is the New Black…?

(which I am still contemplating… It’s not the same and is straying away from being amazing…)

Maybe we will never know the answers

Movie Premiere and a million of there things

So last night I was lucky enough to attend the premiere of “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”. It looked to be a rip off of “The Fault in Our Stars” so I wasn’t expecting much.

Let me just tell you… It was seriously stunning. It was like something I haven’t seen before. It was hilarious but also haunting and emotional. The acting was perfect and the casting was right on.

I was entrapped in the story the entire time. Engulfing me making me laugh and cry.

Since it was a premiere there was assigned seating and press which made it very interesting.

Afterwards there was a Q and A with two of the main characters; Thomas Mann and Rj Cyler.

I had seen Thomas Mann in Project X previously and since I loved him in that movie I was very excited. I asked them a question which ended up coming out of my mouth like gibberish in which I felt embarrassed.

Then we filed down the steps to get autographs and to take pictures.

Once it was my turn I shuffled over to them and handed them my reserved seating sign… In which I said, “All I have is this piece of paper for you to sign, it’s kind of like when you go on vacation and you get a t-shirt that says ‘all I got was this t-shirt”.

Yes it was as embarrassing as it sounds. But to top it off when they finished autographing my blue paper RJ says, “So are we gonna take a picture or what?!” (enthusiastically)

In which I reply, “No I just wanted to breathe in your air”.

Yes…. That is exactly what I said….

Both of my remarks made them laugh and I am sure they have heard worse. But when your adrenaline is going and it is hot as hell in the theater and they are too what would you have said????!!!!

Anyways… I am posting a few picture of me with the guys on Flickr:

A rant about what is wrong with band competitions…

I have performed in about 300 concerts in my life time so far but this one was by far one of the worst.

Last night my band and I performed in a battle of the bands that also doubled as a fundraiser. I won’t mention the name of the charity for I don’t want to ruin their business because it is a good cause.

I could listen a million things that went wrong and was just embarrassing but I will stick to the general overall statement.

Whether you want to believe it or not almost all band competitions are rigged. Based on the number of people attending and who the judges are someone is going to know someone and that someone will most likely win.

Yes you can buy your victory… especially at this specific competition. Whoever raised the most amount of money won. Which is f*cked because that doesn’t determine who is the most talented. It determines who is the richest. Wow I am glad they made it a competition for bands?

Pretty much every venue is going to have a stuck up the butt sound guy. Last night in particular, the sound guy literally looked at his phone the whole time and did not pay attention to our vigorous waving and shouting “TURN MY GUITAR UP!”

Every band competition will also have a drunk MC… Yes you know I am right. The one last night stood way to close to the teenagers and stumbled over his own feet. That was embarrassing.

Yes whoever screams and flings their hair the most will most likely be the winner. That has been proven right at almost every competition I have been in.

No matter what the main reason bands compete is to network and if you are not taking advantage of that opportunity. You should just quit now.

But the worst thing about band competitions is that they don’t promote the fact that is it about having fun. Even if you think you may lose or you end up losing have fun. Make the most of it. Get to know the other bands. And if the winners aren’t egotistical f*cks then congratulate them because they probably deserved it.

Overall, band competitions are mostly about who is the flashiest and who has alright sound because the sound guy decided to wake up from his nap. Make it a learning experience no matter what. Even if literally everything goes wrong like it did for us last night.

At the end of the night we decided we just aren’t that kind of band anymore. We want it to be about the music. That is what it should be about.

That is all.

Popular Federation – new youtube channel

I have some serious respect for professional youtubers it is way so hard to market yourself and make quality videos.

I have always wanted to try to be a youtuber but never found the confidence to actually try and make regular videos.

So last night at around 2 am me and my “step sister” (long story) decided that we wanted to make a youtube channel together.

It will be a long road and might not work out but we had a lot of fun starting it and putting up a video today so please show some love and go easy!

Our first video is about Common Pool Problems

Here is the link:

First tattoo and College Shopping

Today I had a consultation for my tattoo. Which is both nerve racking but also liberating. 

So this Sunday I am going to get it done! I don’t want to reveal what it is until it happens. I am planning on posting a video about the process and what it looks like. 

So yeah! 

Also I went shopping for a few things for college. I figure it’s better to get things along the way rather than rushing at the last minute. 

Calculating the cost for not just your education but the extra crap on the side and that is shocking. Fun. But also sad. 

No Sleep Prank

One of my favorite youtubers is “ThatcherJoe” He is the brother of “Zoella” who is a very famous youtuber.

Anyways, Joe Sugg is famous for his pranks.

This one I enjoy a lot because it is hard to find a good balance between a cruel prank and a lame prank.

This one is in between and would be pretty easy to pull off.
