Scandal and Yellowstone

Ok fair warning, I have only seen the pilot for Scandal and Yellowstone but from my minimal viewing I think they have the same set up and same basic premise but different context/location.

For example these parallel characters. 

Olivia Pope/John Dutton - Powerful leader, has all the answers, makes all the decisions. Is largely unquestioned.

Huck/Rip Wheeler - Hitman, super loyal but no conscious. This character is the reason I cannot watch either show. I have no stomach for the violence.

Quinn Perkins/Kayce Dutton - audience in, new (or like Kayce a return) to the core group. 

Day Zero

So I'm starting on a bad day. My kids were up in the night. My baby is sick and so is my husband and I rationalized that I needed to eat poorly to have a better day.

Brutal Honesty yes, I think eating junk food made me feel numb and kinda felt like I checked a box somehow but the guilt is strong. Personal experiment. Going to resist the urge to snack and not eart sugary treats tomorrow by staying really busy. Drinking lots of water and reading my scriptures. 

A Slob Comes Clean - Weightloss

I love Dana K White for home management. Let me be more specific. I love her books. Decluttering at the speed of light and How to manage your home when it's an overwhelming mess. 

You can get all the same information from her blog, podcast, YouTube channel, etc. but her books are distilled wisdom. It's all laid out without any fluff (but not taking out her folksy stories and funny commentary). 

So I think her philosophy can be applied to weight loss. It might be a stretch right now but I'll see what I can do.  

She says do the dishes, for me. It's Not Even One, regarding sweets. I just can't handle it. If I have even one then I quickly have 12. 

Not even one.

Heather Wells Series - Meg Cabot Fantasy Cast

 Heather Wells - Jaime French, Youtube comedian.  She can sing, she's hilarious and she would totally sell as Heather Wells.  You might know her from her "Tiny Face" fame

        

Cooper Cartwright - Nick Jonas

Jordan Cartwright - Noah Centineo

Paula and her Rock Star Husband - Chrissy Teagan and John Legend

The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot - Fantasy cast

Just finished the audio book version of The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot and I will not be able to rest until I have put up my fantasy cast for this book.  Some of the ages differ but I think they would work

Mindy Show guy

John Trent's mom - Catherine O'Hara

brother

Julie and the Phantoms

First

I'm obsessed. Love the music and the show. 

Some questions

- is it coincident that Julie's mom (Rose) bought the boy's old studio? How did her band do when she was young? Was she inspired by Sunset Curve 

Observations 

-hating Alex's forced gayness. I like Alex except things like always dressing him in pink, saying that he cries too much or having him dance with the girls. I want Reggie up there dancing and owning it. 

I do like his flirtation with Willy. They pull that off in a way that feels natural. 

My favorite is Max from Happy Endings. He is natural about his sexuality without feeling forced. He makes jokes and hooks up but isn't stereotypical. 

-still weird having Luke and Julie flirt when Charlie Gillespie (Luke) is clearly older than her

Hoping for season 2

-I want Sunset Curve flashbacks. I want Rose flashbacks as an adult when they buy the house and her carefully putting all the boys instruments in the attic. I want Bobby to have courted Rose, like a lot and for Julie's dad to hate Bobby too. I want Rose to break up with Bobby for releasing My Name is Luke under his name. 

I want Flynn to shut up and sit down and play her role for exposition and support and stop whinning.

I want Caleb to have something more than just scare tactics 

I want Reggie to have been dying anyway so when he dies suddenly it was a relief to him because he know his cancer would bankrupt his parents. This one might be too heavy

Princess Diaries 3 (Movie)

Disney could 100% pull off Princess Diaries 3 based off of Princess Diaries: Royal Wedding

Including opening a door for a princess diaries TV show spinoff.

Chloe Coleman would be a perfect Olivia Harrison.  She is adorable and 11 the perfect age.

Anne Hathaway is stunning and can totally pass got 27 (11 years after 'her dad's passes) even if Hathaway is actually 37. 

I would love to see Rocky but I don't have a dream casting for him and a bigger role for Helen Thermopolis and Lily even if the movies did pass on Michael as the romantic lead.
