Survivor Makes Me Smile :)

Survivor is back for the 26th season! Who's excited! Just me? Ok... No but seriously, I'm so happy. This is the only reality show that I can stand to watch. The other ones make me want to puke up all of my remaining brain cells, and no I don't want to "Keep up With The Kardashians", it's their business what they do...and who they do...besides they obviously aren't even real. I'm going with Tina Fey's opinion, that they are just manufactured by the Russians to make all the normal girls feel like crap about their naturally beautiful looks. Or something like that. Stupid Kim or Kate or Karli or Khloe or Kylie or Kourtney or whatever. Half those names are the incorrect spelling anyways! If you are going to name your children all the same letter, at least pick one that can be used for as many children as you are having! Idiots. So anyways, back to Survivor. I sure can rant for a long time. And believe me, I could have gone for so much longer. 26th season! Yay! This one is set in the Caramoan Islands which, just like the other 25 locations, is beautiful. It would be worth going on Survivor just for a cool vacation to an exotic place! And for the chance to win an ass load of money of course. This season is the second Fans vs. Favorites season, and here they are:

The top ten (GOTA) are the fans. They are apparently some sort of superfans or something, who think they can beat the experienced people who have done this before. I will enjoy watching them go up in flames. Which rings me to the next ten (BIKAL) who are the favorites. The ones I know are, um, sort of favorites I guess. Brandon is the very religious nephew of the most hated man in all of survivor history, Russell. Not a favorite. Brenda is from  few seasons ago, she tried to flirt her way to the top, and as a fellow gorgeous girl, I can relate. Still not a favorite. Andrea I don't even really remember, she is some sort of strategist which almost got voted off first. She's OK. Cochran, now we're getting somewhere. He is my all-time favorite, and not just because he is hilarious. For some reason, my family immediately pegged him as my brother Max. Maybe it's the awkwardness, or the translucent skin, or maybe the stupid humor. He is definitely a favorite. Phillip is a crazy guy from a few seasons ago who had this feud with Francesca, who got voted off first then and now too. I don't really get how she can be a favorite in one episode, but whatever. Not favorites. I don't remember Erik, Dawn, or Corinne at all so I'm not going to judge them. Yet. Malcolm is cool, he was in the last season and I liked him. I would say he's a favorite. I'm not sure about any of the fans yet, but they will definitely have their work cut out for them. Good luck, and know that somewhere I will be in front of a screen laughing and smiling :)

Corny Movies Make Me Smile :)

Right now, I'm watching The Game Plan on Disney Channel. It is one of the cheesiest movies I've ever seen, which is why I love it so much. If you don't already know, I'm going to tell you what it's about. If you do know, I'm still going to tell you. Basically, this all star football quarterback, Joe King, has it made. He is living the good life, he gets all the money, all the babes, all the trophies. Until. One day, a young girl shows up at his door claiming she's his daughter. Sound corny yet? Her name is Peyton Kelly, and she makes everything very... interesting. From bedazzling Joe's football to forcing him to participate in her dance class, Joe has his hands full. Not only that, but his big playoff game is coming up soon and he is way too preoccupied with Peyton to focus on it. Poor Joe. There is no way anyone is going to know what happens next, right? Ok, well this is why it is super cheesy. It is really just a typical Disney movie where everyone knows what will happen but they still get all emotional at the end.

This kind of says it all, doesn't it? Quality film right here. So back to the emotional part. I don't know if this is true, but I think that I personally feel the emotion because of the music they play. They have this inspiring stuff in the background that make the whole thing a bit less socially awkward. Honestly, if half these things happened in real life or even just without the music, it would be a lot different. But I still feel myself smiling that cute little "Aww, it all worked out for everyone!" smile. In true hope that this isn't just me and other people feel this too, keep on corny smiling :)

Blankets Make Me Smile :)

Curling up in a nice, warm, fuzzy blanket is all a girl can really ask for. Well, actually, I can think of several other things to ask for, but that's beside the point. What I'm really trying to get at is how awesome a nice, huge, warm, fuzzy blanket is after a long day at school. And every day at school is a long day. For Christmas, I got a green blanket that feels like it was made by the gods. Also the goddesses, I'm not being sexist here. My grandparents gave me the blanket, and there has not been a single day since Christmas I have not worn it. Honestly, it is the most comfortable banket ever, and I don;'t think this picture does it justice, but here it is anyways:

This is my blanket...

Like I said, doesn't really look that great. But it is, trust me! It is the most amazing thing ever, and I smile every time I wear it, even after the hardest of days. It's great in the mornings, when it's cold and I'm tired. It's great in the middle of the day, when nothing is really going on and I have nothing better to do. It's great in the evenings which, just like the mornings, it's cold and I'm tired. I don't know exactly where my Nana and Poppy got this particular piece of heaven, but here is a link to a website all about blankets. Seriously, it's called blankets.com and I've been on it for pretty much the whole week. Even though I didn't know I would write this post about blankets until today. That is actually kind of what reminded me of my blanket, which reminded me about my blog, which reminded me that I had to do it tonight, so I thought I would share it with you. Hope it makes you smile :)
