Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Not too long ago, I saw  Stop! That! Train!  with a friend! Here are some thoughts. The funniest singular scene had to be when the president is getting an increasingly large stack of briefs and other things as she walks around the Oval Office and is being updated on the increasingly silly list of who has signed on to help But, of course, a highlight for me was also Latrice Royale popping up as Barbara in job after job I also have to give a shoutout to Rachel Bloom whom I love from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend The musical numbers were well recorded and edited, cleverly and hilariously written, and performed with the right mix of skill and silliness But, I do wish Jaida Essence Hall had been cast considering one of the original numbers was called "Look Over There!" which is 100% making use of the success of the catchphrase she started in her original season's political debate episode I think even more Ru girls could've been squeezed in since there were lots of passengers on the...

Well I forgot to take notes on this episode's preview, so we'll all just be surprised! Marissa, your tone is annoying me Marissa, why are you this exasperated all of the time? Marissa and her mom look so close in age Allison calling her dad Shea hits me in a weird way I'm concerned how unconcerned all of these young women are about Shea hitting on them Shea, I get that it may be a bit awkward that Anabelle is going to sleep early, but you don't think it's embarrassing for Anabelle with you flirting so blatantly with women your daughter's age? Also, yeah, Shea, Anabelle is tired! Allison, Anabelle isn't bossing your dad around. She said that she was going to bed...that's kind of it Allison, SEEK THERAPY! You are TOO gleeful at the idea of Anabelle leaving I think Mallorie and Rasit really get each other Brandon, you suck (and possibly only own one outfit) I do love that this team is called the Trash Pandas HA! Rasit learned baseball from Twilight Honestly...

So, if you don't know, the Wedding Shoe Game is a game where the couple sits back to back and trades one shoe so that they each have one of their shoes and one of their spouses shoes. Someone will then read questions (e.g. "Who is more likely to take the dog on a long walk") and both people in the couple will hold up the shoe of the person they think is the answer. It's meant to be silly and lighthearted so no questions should be super deep or serious. Anyways, I have been tasked with leading this game at an upcoming wedding (and I am genuinely so excited), so here I go brainstorming some (you can also read "15 possible questions for the Wedding Shoe Game, brainstorm 1" and "15 possible questions for the Wedding Shoe Game, brainstorm 2" )!  Who, overall, is a pickier eater? Who is harder to buy gifts for? Who is less likely to go to the doctor when something is up? Who is more likely to find a YouTube video to help complete a task instead of askin...

And then there were 7. A'keria is NOT having this I maintain that Joey should've won I mean, I get that Dawn is faking confidence, but I do agree that her story's content wasn't the problem, it was the execution The tension is THICC Incredible product placement This is a super fun mini challenge Jasmine did a very sexy version I did enjoy Joey's more comedic version too though lol Dawn leaned comedic, but Joey was funnier to me I actually really enjoyed Sam's performance because (to me) it felt like she combined comedic and sexy A'keria was so smart in planning her outfit for this challenge--the comedy of it was not lost on me Silky's puppet is still funny to me Hey, I'm all for Jasmine finding Crystal hot, but (IMO) Jasmine was hotter Silky throwing her wig on the camera made me laugh out loud Sam isn't the worst pick for the winner, but I enjoyed Silky's performance the most Dang, when Ru said it would be a rumble, I thought it would be mor...

Who is more likely to get something monogrammed? Who is more easily persuaded by the other to alter their outfit? Who would win the dodgeball game if their teams came down to Dave vs. Kimi? Who would win a game of Twi...

Okay, I've finally started writing the novel that I did some stream of consciousness posts about ( "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 1" , "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 2" , and "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 3" ). Now, I want to keep it unpublished, but I also want credit for working on it (lol). So, with that in mind, I'll do a post like this when I've worked on it for a bit, and you can shoot me a message if you'd like access to the Google doc. NB: While there will be multiple posts in this vein, I will not link them to each other because the text will remain the same, so linking to part 1 from part 2 (etc.) won't yield any new information.  Photo by Bernd 📷 Dittrich on Unsplash
