Scandal: Where's the Black Lady

“Girl...yo daddy told you!!!!!!!!!”

I missed "Scandal" last night because I was out having BIG, BIG FUN so I'm currently sitting on the sofa watching it.  I missed watching it with my absolute FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD though.

Secret Service just burst in talking some Vice President said this and that so we're going to "support" you.  Basically letting him know that private eyes are watching you...watching your every move....oh baby private eyes...watching you...watching your every move...

Lawd...poor Fitz looks bad.  He's in with his whipping boy AKA Melly.  You know whenever he's dealing with something he takes it out on her.   Oh shit...she dimed herself out about sleeping with the VP.  These people a mess!  They are trying to be like the Underwoods.  There is only one Frank and Claire baby and they'll be BACK FEBRUARY TWENTY SEVENTH!!!!!!!!

Andrew has a good head of hair.  Warmongers generally do.

Olivia's hair is authentic.  Big hair, don't care.

Her nails still on point though.  

Now Fitz...Imma need you to take that jump drive to Huck mmmkay?  Them White House people are NOT on your side.  Just tip on down to Cyrus' office and tell him to give it to Huck.  Huck will tear ish up looking for Olivia.

I used to love Portia...HUCK GOT HER AZZ!  YES!  YES!  YES!  HE'S IN THERE WITH YOUR KID!  GIRL YOU BETTER KNOW LIKE ME AND TELL HUCK WHAT HUCK NEEDS TO KNOW LE STAT!  HE WILL LICK YOUR FACE AND SLICE YOUR TEETH OUT!

Oh...VP Good Hair straight rouge.  Yall don't know any better.

Hey Tom!  

Oh...Tom went straight crazy in solitary huh?  

You can't trust anyone in the White House Fitz.  

Olivia's house ain't safe hell.  That's where they snatched her.  Okay...thumb drive to Jake.  Olivia's luhvah's are on it.  Jake took where it needed to be taken.  That glass is a sign right?

REFLECTION IN GLASS!!!!!!  GET IT OLIVIA!  GET.IT.OLIVIA!  Okay...whatever Huck just said...do that.  YES!

"President or not he's just a man."  Well...and then there's that.  

I hope Olivia Papa Pope's old dude's azz when Huck gets her out cuz Huck going get Olivia.  I feel it in my fingers...I feel it in my toes...Christmas is all around us...wait...sorry...moving on...

WHERE'S THE BLACK LADY?  

Did Quinn just call Ms. Rose, Rose?  GIRL...YOU'D BETTER HANG A HANDLE ON THAT BEFORE SHE SMACKS YOU WITH THAT BAG!

This VP dude has GOT.TO.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

UM...CYRUS?  Wait...Cyrus has those good instincts and now he has Red thinking.  But wait...why break the mug though?

Well...Huck going skin Portia alive most likely.

OH SHIT!  THAT WAS CREEPY!  

He brought the tool box.  Don't hurt the child Huck.  That isn't the answer.  I don't like that.  But you can snatch Porsha's teeth.  Not a problem.

TELL MELLY DUDE!!!!!  Melly can get to Andrew.

I hate when he talks about Olivia to his wife.  Stankin' azz.

VP Good Hair is going down-t.  All the men have a good head of hair though.  

I think Melly is our wild card here.  I think Melly can stab her.  

FLORENCE BROUGHT THE TIP THEY NEEDED!  YES!

Ooooh!  Yjr omyrtmry eo;; yto[ upi i[ rbrtu/domh;r/yo,r/

Oops...fingers were on wrong keys.  ROFL!  I meant...Oooooooh!  The internet will trip you up every.single.time!!!!!

HUCK!  GO GET OLIVIA!

Figure out some kinda way to tell Cyrus.  But he thinks he can't trust Cyrus either since he's in the White House right?

Papa Pope needs to come home hell.  Or Mama Pope.  Any of them Popes.  Know how we have one cousin who straight WrecksItRalph?  All her cousins prolly bad azz.  They prolly hold their family reunion in a boxing gym.  Instead of slinging bones they do mixed martial arts competitions from Granny on...

HOLY SHIT HUCK!  He stripped her azz raw!  Sheesh! 

Melly = Wild Card.  Watch and see.  In their twisted way...they all love each other for real. 

So Cyrus finally read the file huh?

Olivia...ask for one of those Dickie's jumpsuits.  I've always wanted one.  Flannel lined.  I don't know why.  Odd I know.

Olivia is playing this dude Olivia style.  She's killed once and now she's dangerous.  I just hope she remembers to keep holding the gun after she kills next time cuz really...this kidnapping could have been over by now had she saved that gun and wet his chest.  (I love talking thugish.  ROFL!)

MELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Told yall Melly was the Wild Card!  Well...yall knew that already.  I'm the one watching late.  I hate yall for watching without me.  Yall are NOT my friends anymore.

Til next week.  GO.ME!

Jake go get your woman!  Well...yall woman.  JAKE DEA!  YES!

But she's not there.  She was too damn smart for her own good.  Had she stayed there instead of getting in old boy's head...Jake could have been carrying her out by now and we could all be swooning.  About Jake.  From State Farm.

Auctioning the Black lady.  

But I just had a thought...what if Papa Pope is behind the VP Good Hair??????  Yall know Roman likes to be the puppet master.  Hmmmmmmmm!

Thoughts?

Walmart's Free Shipping Over $50

It's no secret that I am not a fan of going to Walmart.  I don't like it I don't like it I don't like it!

Being in a small town...you can't really get away from Walmart.  *sigh*

So I make The Robinator go with me.

The other day we were in Walmart and a man was in there with a parrot on his shoulder feeding the parrot a cookie.  When he passed us by I continued looking and noted that the parrot was taking a crap on his back.  And it wasn't the first time according to the dried stains.

JOY.

In Walmart.

So yeah...I don't wanna go back.

I came home and asked Mr. Google about the Rice Thins crackers that I like to buy at Walmart to have with cheese and the Amazon price was almost $4 a box.  Well...I pay $2.50 a box at Walmart so I wasn't about to pay $1.50 more and then I looked at the search results.  The same crackers were at Walmart.com for $1.98 a box.

Um...

So I tipped over there and found that there is free shipping on any orders over $50.  Then...I looked at the running list I keep on the fridge and I sat right there and ordered everything I'd need from Walmart and it will be delivered here FOR.FREE.SHIPPING.

I can live with this.

I'm not going back there.  

My thoughts on "Selma" and "American Sniper"

I forgot that I wanted to say something about these movies after watching them.

"Selma"

I thought it was really good and I wanted to point out what I thought was the best performance.  

Henry G. Sanders

Henry G. Sanders

He played Cager Lee (Can we talk about how cool the name Cager is???????????) and when Dr. King went to see him after his grandson was killed?  Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan...he broke me down to my brake pads!!!!!  He was so good and his face said it all and yet...he was being respectful of Dr. King in his moment of absolute heartbreak.  He was so DIGNIFIED.  That's like...the best word to describe him.  Dignified.  I felt like if any actor from the film deserved an award...he most certainly did absolutely.  During two of his scenes, I felt like I was in the room with him transported back into time and experiencing it all firsthand.  Not listening to a first person narrative...but actually for real there.  I can't even begin to really put into words how brilliant he was every.single.time he was on the screen.  Absolutely OUT.STAND.ING!  

STANDING OVATION.

CLAP, CLAP, CLAPPEDY CLAP.

The next performance that I thought was outstanding was the actress who played Ms. Coretta.  Yall...didn't she look uncannily like her?  So beautiful and regal!  Let me add that it was PERFECT casting!  I mean...just...WOW!  Didn't the resemblance blow you away?  

The second best acted scene in the film was when she asked Dr. King if he loved her and then...if he loved the others.

BLEW.

ME.

AWAY.

The fear, uncertainty, love, hope and humiliation he felt in her steadfast questioning ran across his face so powerfully.  I FELT that!  I looked at Robby and he was holding his breath wondering what he was going to say.  So good.  So very, very good!

When I returned home after watching it?  I watched Malcolm X.  SPIKE LEE AND DENZEL WASHINGTON WERE  ROBBED YALL!

(Random:  While looking for pictures to include I ran into this blog and I liked it:  WHAT IMPRESSED ME THIS WEEK (Selma…the Movie…and the Flap) )


"American Sniper"

I was worried about this movie after reading all of the articles about how folks wanted to go "kill Arabs" after watching it.  I couldn't imagine that Clint Eastwood would make an irresponsible war movie.  I'd read his take on it and it was so different than the take some of the fans seemed to have.  Well...turns out the fans who felt that way felt that way long before they watched the movie because that's not what I got.  What I got was a frank look at on the ground warfare and it was terrifying.  I wanted no parts of that.  I don't EVER want another soldier to have to go war after watching the movie.  Yes, there is some controversy surrounding if it really went down like that but I'm going to just speak on what I saw on the screen.  It was a good movie and there were times when I was truly on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it would all play out.  Clint Eastwood knows how to build a hero and Chris Kyle might just be his best one yet.  The movie didn't make me want to march for death to all Muslims.  The movie made me want to hug a war vet.  HARD.

The final war scene was shot with pretty much zero visibility and it blew me away.  I was holding my breath begging for relief.  BEGGING.  And the scenes where he called his wife during that last battle and when she called him the first time after that.  Whew man...rapid blinkage occurred.  

Here is the great thing about it.  After the first few scenes I stopped looking at him as Bradley Cooper with some weight on him.  Bradley Cooper BECAME Chris Kyle.  Good acting.  GREAT acting.  

I thoroughly enjoyed that experience too even though I wish his wife's character would have been portrayed in a better light.  It just seemed to me there the way she was shot didn't really leave much room for empathizing with her.  She came across as...I don't know...selfish and not willing to understand what her husband was going through and I feel like wives of deployed soldiers know what they are getting into but even though they know this...they are human and simply wish their husband was home to do all the things husbands and fathers do.  They didn't do that for her in the movie in my opinion.  

Did you see these movies?  Thoughts? 


Dear TarshaB: Blueberry Muffins Recipe

I blame TarshaB. for what I'm currently doing.  I'm sitting in my kitchen smelling the goodness that smells like blueberry muffins.  See...she made muffins the other day cuz that's how the hell she gets down-t and I've been thinking about those dang muffins ever since.

She posted this on Instagram the other day:

So duh...I've wanted muffins ever since.

This evening I was sitting here making guacamole for Robby's Super Bowl party of one thinking...the person most impatient for the guac is always the person who has never cut up not nainh avocado.  Humph and I thought about Tarsha's muffins again.  I asked Mr. Google for a good blueberry muffin recipe and then crossed my fingers that I'd have all the ingredients cuz I wasn't leaving the house for muffins.  

I had every thing except for fresh blueberries.  I had frozen and where I'm from...we make it do what we do.  :)

It made me think about kitchen staples and how I generally always have whatever I need to bake something sweet if we decide we want something sweet.  I have flour, baking soda, baking powder, butter, vanilla, sugar, chocolate chips, pecans, dry milk and walnuts pretty much always.  If we feel like some chocolate I can whip us up brownies or chocolate chip cookies in a jiffy cuz you know...I'm all fly like that.  LOL!

This is the recipe I found:  

Headed into the oven!

Headed into the oven!

11 NOT 12 survived the cooling process.  *sigh*

11 NOT 12 survived the cooling process.  *sigh*

I haven't tasted one yet but the dude of the household has and says they are delicious.  Ours are gluten-free, of course.  I'll let you guys know tomorrow if the frozen blueberries made a difference.  I can't tonight because the cheating football team won and apparently we're going to bed now.  *BLINK*

Do you bake?  What's the last thing you baked?  Do you ever make muffins?
