Here's What's Been Happening Lately 4.20.21

Alright- so here's what's been going on with me and in general for the week. I figure I can give you an update on what's been happening with me personally- some pop culture news that's been going on lately that I somewhat care about... and just what I've been into and what I've been up to.

First and foremost- I am now fully vaccinated! I got my second shot of the Pfizer vaccine... and while I didn't feel good that day- I had a bad headache the day after and the day of... the next day I had a slight headache- but I felt better that next day. I know this isn't the same for everyone and every vaccine. I know someone that got very sick after she had the Moderna vaccine- but a few days later she was okay. I would ask your doctors about it but if you're in pretty good health generally... I'd suggest making an appointment. The more people get vaccinated the more things will be more normal and hopefully we won't always be wearing masks and social distancing. But masks and social distancing has kept me healthy so far- so I'm happy to do it for as long as I can.

There's been a lot of bachelor news lately. One- Colton Underwood came out as gay... and it is believed he's going to have a Netflix show around him. I... don't think he should have a tv show. I'm glad he's out of the closet... but he stalked Cassie and that's just not right. I don't think we need to be giving this guy a platform. I'm all for an LGBTQIA+ Bachelor or Bachelorette if they want to do that... but I hope they don't give Colton another season.

Also there are Matt James cheating allegations... which are stupid. So Matt James met up with his final pick of the show and his ex girlfriend Rachel Kirkconnell... which is fine. He also allegedly sent flirty messages to another girl that he had been allegedly seeing before the show aired... and I mean that probably sucks for Rachel and the other girl involved if it's true... but Matt is a single man... He isn't exactly cheating... and it seems like there's more to the story. There have also been reports that Matt James flew Rachel out to New York to meet up with him... but the girls from the show also had a reunion so... I don't think she was just there for Matt. I don't really care that much- but Matt James is getting a lot of heat from Reality Steve from this... who just kind of goes out of his way to slander people. He slandered Jenna Cooper because of cheating allegations after she had been engaged to Jordan Kimball... those rumors were false and the text messages were made by a stalker of Jordan I think. He had Jenna on his podcast over a year after to clear her name... so at least there was that... but he really does make big accusations for people and the way he words things... it's not good.

I've been into records lately- I know I've been blogging about my Fall Out Boy records and you can see my Throwback Thursday posts on that... but I did get some more records. I got the record for The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown... which I love. I kind of like listening to it before I go to sleep because sometimes I'll get a song stuck in my head before bed or early in the morning before I'm really ready to wake up... this makes it a little easier because there's no lyrics so if a song from this gets stuck in my head... it's okay. I can just keep sleeping.

I also got one from Target that was on sale- the Stevie Wonder #1 hits album. I love Stevie Wonder- my mom is a huge fan of Stevie Wonder and when I saw it on sale I was like "yep. I need this!" It doesn't include some songs that I like from Stevie- so I'd like to get his album Songs in The Key of Life- which is one of my favorites of his. I think I'll listen to this album tonight and maybe give a review for Music Monday some day.

Another fun purchase I made- Ring Fit for the Nintendo Switch. I haven't played it yet- I'm trying to clean my room a bit to make space to try it out later... but my boyfriend and I both ended up getting one- and it's apparently a very good workout... so I'm excited.

And I ate at a restaurant near me called 10th Avenue Burrito... and I usually get the Enchiladas... but this time I ordered a special which was the 10th ave fried chicken which came with their spicy mac and cheese... it was really good. I need to order their Spicy Mac and Cheese again because I forgot how much I like it. I ate half of it in the restaurant and then the other half I took home and actually ate after I came home from a midnight shift of work. So... yeah that was a good idea.

The midnight shift at work... went well. It was a really long shift for me- I was there the longest out of anyone... but the time went fast and we got a lot done! The next day I had a short shift- so that was good too!

Alright- that is everything! I hope you guys like this post and... if I have a lot of things to talk about I'll do one of these next week too!

Bye!
