Edition 23

1. Fruity Pebbles - Let it be known, I was on the fruity pebbles train BEFORE the drama of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

2. Honey Nut Cheerios - Don’t let the FAKE media tell you that this cereal does not absolutely slap

3. Rice Krispies - A CLASSIC for a reason

4. Captain Crunch - Tastes so good but hurts so bad

5. Cookie Crisp - I cannot remember the last time I had this but the nostalgia is part of its appeal, there is no way this should be a breakfast cereal option as it’s literally just mini cookies

I am pretty much going into this book blindly because I never learn. I heard great things about the author and the sequel so I am simply going for it. I believe it is a mystery/thriller vibe but the last time I assumed a book’s genre I was thoroughly mistaken. Not to put pressure on my gal Tana French but I need her to take me out of the reading slump my last book put me in.

In the most boring turn of events while trying to save some money I have been trying to just eat what my fridge and pantry have to offer me before going on a grocery haul. It has been working because my food supply is becoming sparse. Here are some fun examples of my meals.

• Trader Joe’s Hash Browns with Eggs (this was a hyperfixation meal for a hot second)

• Toast & Eggs (I am a breakfast girl to my core)

• Trader Joe’s Spicy Noodles (these got a lot of hate on social media but I’m personally a fan!)

• Fries and Chicken Bowl (exactly how it sounds: french fries, chicken, cheese, seasonings, and some type of sauce)

I really feel like my obsessive listening of Sticky got me the Tik Tok dance part of this vibe. Speaking of Tik Tok… is it getting banned or not? I have only heard things that lead me to believe it is getting banned but I’m living in denial. It is an app I am addicted to have learned a lot of new music from. My best example would be Noah Kahan. Tik Tok brought me to my favorite folksy man.

My podcasts are not often a place that I learn new things. This is not me saying that podcasts aren’t a great tool for learning. This is me saying that MY podcasts are not a great tool for learning. They are a way for me to giggle and hear yaps! If Books Could Kill is one of my less mind-numbing listens and I learned the origin of “Don’t Mess with Texas.” It’s a very non-Texas origin. It was started as an anti-littering on the road campaign. I would have bet all my money that it had to do with guns because of how the saying is used now but ya know what.. hell yah! Don’t mess with Texas baby!

Instagram notified me that Black Mirror will be returning in 2025. The latest seasons have not hit the same as the earlier ones but I will be tuning in regardless. As you might see from my movie review below, I do not get easily scared but most Black Mirror episodes are the type of things to freak me out. Not because of jump scares but because the scenarios seem horrifying. Especially the episodes that don’t seem too far from our current reality. I love a show that makes you think and there are some Black Mirror episodes that I have never stopped thinking about (and not just the traumatizing Pig episode).

My first introduction to Nosferatu was indeed the hash slinging slasher episode of Spongebob but this movie had quite a different spin. Can we talk about the fact that Bill Skarsgard is the horror genre IT BOY? This movie did not scare me it more made me feel disturbed and grossed out. The gross scenes were the only parts I did not absolutely love. This is the type of movie you just want to have long discussions with someone about. Finding out that Bill did the Count Orlok voice on his own and that Lily-Rose Depp did all THAT without CGI was jaw-dropping. Let us not forget that Aaron Taylor-Johnson also just looked like that all on his own. I loved this freaky deaky scary movie.

Rating: 8/10

PLEASE tell me someone else is seeing these ads everywhere. Now you may not be watching the entire ad like myself..but I cannot escape the Reelshorts ads. If you have been lucky enough to not get sucked in, they are ridiculous plot lines (i.e. Homeless Billionaires) with horrible actors. The ads show almost the entire movie and I will sit there and WATCH IT. I really cannot explain the appeal of it but now the actors are coming up on my ‘For You’ page. I’m in too deep and if you are still safe… run while you can.

BREAKING NEWS: Women are FUNNY! Obviously the yappers were well aware of this fact but the general public is just starting to come around. I had no doubts after her roast of Tom Brady but Nikki absolutely KILLED it. If you are not convinced of her talent, I recommend you check out her opening monologue. This is what we needed after the Jo Koy hosting incident of last year. Her gorgeous gorgeous gowns also need to be talked about because that is what women can bring to the hosting table: Humor AND Fashion!

Tik Tok is quite the theme of this Yapple edition but I was indeed influenced by someone on that app to get this set up. As if my Kindle was not addicting enough… I can now read my books while my Kindle is held up for me and I can turn the page at a distance with the press of a button. If you are a Kindle gal, I highly recommend this set-up.
