- I have been super busy with university (ugh lame)

| The rumors are true... I'm back |
So anyway, I decided that in keeping with the 2016 tradition of the world giving people what they want (Leo got his Oscar, the cast of friends had a reunion of sorts, cats continued to exist and the existence of mermaids was confirmed -lol jk mermaids arent real or at least thats what the government want us to believe!) I have decided to return to the 21st century type writer and chronicle my life again - this will also be a great assistance to the forward thinking being that decides to write my biography.
Tbh a lot of the things that I'm loving right now are fairly similar to the things I was lovin in October because like an dolphin I am also a creature of habit - dolphins are undoubtable creatures of habit because for the past 400 years there has not been one report of a dolphin choosing to leave his or her comfort zone, the ocean, for a life on the land. Silly little vegan sharks, bless em! And since I haven't really done much of interest as of late I narrow this post down to things that I am loving to view right now.
So without further ado here are the things that I am loving to watch right now...
TV
1. Some opening thoughts on Netflix
 |
| I can only assume she is talking about Netflix UK |
Netflix continues to be a big part of my life, however; there is no doubting that the way the head honchos over at the Netflix headquarters abnegate us Brits of all of the best TV shows is sheer tyranny. Sure they like to tease us a little, make us feel appreciated and special but Netfix are 100% corporate fuckboys! They find give us How I Met Your Mother, How To Get Away With Murder, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and (for any poor people who have not been able to escape the trainwreck that this show has become) they gave us Pretty Little Liars too. We see their offering and even though we know they have so much more to give we decide to commit, maybe we can change them! We decide to sign up for the month free trial which is basically the TV subscription of a date and then afterwards we agree to pay £6 a month but... the next thing you know you are sitting there waiting for them to update their TV show selection feeling like you slept with them and they never called you back, you feel cheated and used #classicfuckboys. Eventually you accept that this is just how things are but you can't cancel the subscription just in case one day they decide to give you want you want and deserve ...
2. Grey's Anatomy
 |
| The Carousel Never Stops Turning |
Grey's Anatomy is a wonderful, magical gem of a show! It's about Meredith Grey working her way up from surgical intern to legit surgeon and the people she works with at Seatle Grace Hospital (AKA Seatle Grace Mercy West Hospital AKA Seatle Grace Mercy Death AKA Grey-Sloan Memeorial Hospital AKA the only hospital in the world where the surgeons are more likely to die than the patients).This show has everything you could ever want in a TV show; happiness, sadness, tragedy, death, cute couples, suspense, death, explosions, surgery, carousel metaphors, infidelity, death, eye candy and miracles. It's a just such a good show and even after 12 seasons its still just as strong and true as it always was. To sum up I was forced at gunpoint (just like many doctors on the show) to pay £60 for the Grey's boxset because Netflix UK has been denying me of this show, the same as denying me of a basic human right if you ask me! It's a small price to pay to be able to step into the lives of the worlds most talented and attractive surgeons (actually it was a huge price to pay, also now I'm broke). I basically eat, sleep and breathe Meredith Grey and co. I briefly considered applying to med school but decided to settle for just playing Mer in a home video version of Grey's which is currently underproduction and stars myself and B.
Rating of my fave Grey's characters:
- Meredith Grey
- Arizona Robbins
- Derek Shephered
- Mark Sloan
- Amelia Shephered
- Callie Torres
- Lexi Grey
- Jackson Avery when he is part of the Plastic Posse
Rating of the worst Grey's characters

- The Plane that crashed that one time
- Adele Webber (Richaaaaard Pls)
- The truck that killed McDreamy

.
Rating 10/10
Best Method of viewing Binge Watch so either Netflix US or DVDs
Fave Episode Season 6 final 2 episodes
Worst Episodes The musical episode
Best Character Meredith Grey
Worst Character Ever = Erica Hahn. Current = Jo Wilson
Best Couple Meredith and Derek. Callie and Arizona
2. Parks and Recreation
 |
| We all fell into the pit |
Another show that Netflix UK is denying me of! How do the ownders of Netflix even sleep at night!? (Probably on a bed of money because this is the 21st century - if you don't have a Netflix account are you even living? Also considering everyone hates the fact that Netflix UK is pretty awful nobody can bring themselves to end their subscription, and so instead we wait and wait and wait hoping one day it will pay off and Netflix UK will be great again. Okay so Parks and Rec is basically about Leslie Knope (who is the most adorable human beings ever) and the people she works with in the Parks department, its a documentary style sitcom like The Office. Highlights of the show include the fact that it is set in a town that basically worships a tiny horse; Anne and Leslie gave a new meaning to friendship goals; Chris Pratt is the lead singer of a band called Mouse Rat and so much more. The first season is a little slow but it gets better and better as each season progresses. It's a really cute feel good show that's easy to watch and you end up caring about the characters a lot more than you initially think you will. I started watching this show many moons ago, cant remember why I ever stopped watching it but I am 100% invested again. I only have a season left and I'm starting to mentally prepare myself to say goodbye to all of the characters
Rating 8/10
Best Method of viewing It's super easy to watch either as a binge or not.
Fave Episode Undecided as I haven't finished the show yet - However the telethon episode was fun as was every episode with a town meeting... Basically TBC.
Worst Episodes Something from season 1
Best Character Chris Trager? Again TBC
Worst Character Crazy Ira and The Douche (Just found them so annoying)
Best Couple Andy and April, Ben and Leslie and Chris and Anne.
3. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
 |
| They alive dammit it's a miracle |
It's basically about this girl (Kimmy) who was kidnapped and kept underground for 15 years living as part of a cult who being rescued and adapting to life in New York City. With her childlike wonder and enthusiasm she meets lots of fun people and gets into random situations. Its a super stupid show with an average first episode but it really does improve and I couldn't stop watching. The show is 100% quotable and introduced the world to two of the most catchy songs that have ever existed: Pinot Noir and The theme tune. There is only one season out so far, and god bless all that is holy it's even on Netflix UK, so it is definitely worth the watch. There isn't too much more to say about this show because you kind of have to watch it to understand the hype.
Rating 7.5/10
Best Method of viewing Weekend (or one day) binge.
Fave Episode Probably Kimmy Goes To School because Piot Noir
Worst Episodes The First One
Best Character I Like Kimmy, Lillian and Mrs Voorhees
Worst Character Maybe Xanthippe Voorhees
Best Couple N/a
4. SNL
 |
| I made left one extra hole for it's hopes and dreams |
Okay So I don't Legit watch SNL but I have gone through a phase of like binge watching SNL clips on Youtube and found some firm faves. B and I tend to differ on which ones we like as I am a big fan of kristen Wiig's charcters Sue and Penelope whereas she just found them annoying. Firm fave clips that I would recommend everyone to watch are:
- High School Theater Show with Elizabeth Banks
- The Real Housewives of Disney
- Being Quirky with Zooey Deschanel
- Taylor Swift's roommate clip and parent driver's clip
- The Ryan Gosling clip about being abducted by aliens where he has a breakdown.
5. How I Met Your Mother
 |
| Haaaaaaave you met Ted? |
I want to clarify that I still love How I Met Your Mother but I dont want to go into it too much because I already spoke about it in my last post. Basically it is the best comedy show there has ever been - yes even better than Friends and that is a truth fact! It's about a man in 2030 telling his kids the story of his life in New York living with his friends and all the decisions he made that led him to meeting their mother. I am also a solid supporter of the shows finale and I think the show might even be better than salmon and cream cheese bagels.
Rating 10/10
Best Method of viewing All day every day (but as a binge first time round).
Fave Episode So hard to choose! Maybe Sandcastles In The Sand?
Worst Episodes The from the final season that was set during one slap...
Best Character IRobin Scherbatsky(AKA Robin Sparkles), Ted Mosby and Marshall Erikson
Worst Character Maybe Zooey or Stella because they are evil
Best Couple Ted and Robin, Robin and Barney and Lily and Marshall.
Film
1.The Walk
 |
| He alive dammit it's a miracle |
This film tells the true story of how great CGI and one man's love for wire walking resulted in a movie scene which almost gave my dearest mother who is terrified of heights a panic attack... I can't remember the last time I wanted someone to come down from a wire so badly. It's a really great film that is completely worth committing 2 hours of your life to because the second half which focuses on how Phillipe Petit and friends attempy to illegally rig a wire between the twin towers so he can do the worlds most dangerous wore walk. I was 100% invested in this film, I completely forgot that it was cgi, I screamed multiple times and I remembered how much I love Joseph Gordon Levitt. 9/10 - would recommend.
Honourable mentions worth a shout out are:
- How To Get Away With Murder
- Deadpool
The moral of the story is you don't kick a dressage horse after a failed pas de deux
Until next time
xoxo
