Harry Styles at Radio City Music Hall: Kiwi is now my favorite song.

I know I have a fair amount of Harry Styles content on this blog so I just want to give a small update on my life.

I SAW HARRY STYLES AT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL IN NEW YORK CITY.

It was amazing! One of the best concerts I have been to in a while. Harry is such a good performer. He performed Kiwi 3 times. THREE TIMES. And it was amazing every time. Such a bop. Like so high energy, such fun lyrics. He did it to convince the record label people to make it the next single. I really hoped it worked as Kiwi is AWESOME!!!. It was a pretty cheeky move on my boy Harry's part. 

I sat in row D of the 1st mezzanine at Radio City Music Hall. At first, I thought they were good seats and yeah, I could see Harry well enough but I wish they were better. Usually, mezzanine seats are better at other theaters. 

Harry's suit was on point as always. I found a picture on Google to show you guys



I love the red and black combination. It really matched with curtains at Radio City.

Another highlight of the show was when he was asking people where they were from. He was like "who is here from New York?." Many people screamed as expected. And then he asked, "who is here from out of town?" I screamed as technically I was...though only a few miles out of town. Then he asked the audience where out of town. And a girl said, "New Jersey." I WAS LIKE YEAH WHOO. And then Harry was like "New Jersey?" a little sardonically. But he followed it up with, "Not that there is anything wrong with New Jersey. I was just hoping for someone a little bit more out of town. So who here is from some where else than New York, New Jersey, Brooklyn?," I was just like "??????" NEW JERSEY IS NO WHERE NEAR BROOKLYN IN TERMS OF OUT OF TOWNNESS. DOES HE KNOW NJ IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STATE WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE LUMPED WITH NEW YORKERS. WE ARE NEW JERSEY PEOPLE SOME OF US ARE FROM SUPER OUT OF TOWN LIKE SOUTH JERSEY (not me obviously lol)

Obviously, I am just happy he was talking about New Jersey on stage.

Anyway, great experience. MUNA was pretty good too.

No Tomorrow Review: What's on your Apocalyst?

I just finished watching No Tomorrow on Netflix and I really enjoyed it!! When I started the show, I could tell why the CW cancelled it. At first, it just didn't seem as good as the other quirky comedies like Jane the Virgin or Crazy Ex Girlfriend. At first, it felt like the comedy was off. It wasn't haha funny, I guess you can say.

However, as I continued through the show, I loved it. It is funny enough, and there are other positive qualities - like the plot, the premise, the message. No Tomororw, for those of you who don't know, is a show where the main character falls in love with with a guy who thinks the world is going to end and so he encourages her to live life to the fullest.  What's on your Apocalyst? What would you do if you only had 6 months to live? How would you change your life to live in the present and really get your dreams moving.

While watching, I always wondered how they were gonna end it. Is Xavier right and the world is going to end in flames? Or is he wrong and everyone is right when they call him a crazy crack-pot.

When I watched the final episode, I knew it was the final episode. I knew that The CW had not renewed it. (sad face :-( It was a good show!!! But alas, the ratings). On Netflix, they don't show the epilogue. But even without the epilogue, it's sort of beautiful.

SPOILERS AHEAD STOP NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT

Xavier and Evie going out into the world and doing their own thangs. Following their dream jobs. Evie sorta moving on with that doctor guy. How that doctor guy came full circle because he met Xavier at the hospital and encouraged him to quit his job and follow his dreams.

I also like that Xavier was right about the theory. I like that he wasn't just some crazy lunatic. And then he was able to stop the meteor from crushing the Earth with NASA - so cool!

In the beginning, the supporting characters seemed kind of lame. But as the show continued, they started to grow on me and I am glad they got their happy endings.

It was SIGNS that brought Xavier and Evie together (getting the wrong package delivered). It was SIGNS that brought Evie and Doctor-Guy together.

After The CW cancelled No Tomorrow they put in a 2 minute epilogue. The epilogue isn't on Netflix so I had to go searching for it on The CW website. But here's the text from the epilogue.

• On May 23, the asteroid hit Planet Earth...And killed two cows in a pasture outside Lawrence, Kansas. Xavier & B612 were able to reduce the asteroid's size and avoid global catastrophe.
• Timothy and Hank's band, Finger and The Noise, enjoyed moderate success after their debut single was used in an episode of Supernatural Season 16. (A CALL BACK TO ANOTHER CW SHOW!!)
• Timothy and Talia now run an ayahuasca-based writers' retreat near Sedona
• Hank and Deirdre moved into his bunker on May 21, survived the asteroid, and emerged in time for Deirdre to give birth to Hank, Jr. (no mention if its a girl or boy LOL!)
• Deirdre still works for Cybermart. It is the fourth greatest love of her life (after Hank, HankJr., and Douglas).
• Kareema and Sofia are still together. They are passionate advocates of marriage equality and progressive immigration reform.
• Xavier became a massive hit on the inspirational lecture circuit and a bestselling author ("How Big is your Apocalyst?"). He and his father are still in regular contact. He is the godson of Jesse and Amber's son Jamber.
• Evie found her true calling as a logistics coordinator for Doctors Without Borders. She traveled the world, helping to facilitate healthcare for people in need.
• AND THEN YEARS LATER EVIE MEETS XAVIER AT A FARMERS MARKET SO CUTE!!!!

Rating: 5/5. I'm an easy reviewer. It was a good show. :-)

An Abundance of Katherines: This Extreme Dumpee Approves

The second John Green book I read this month is An Abundance of Katherines and it was a much better experience than Paper Towns. It was much shorter and more interesting (maybe because I hadn't seen the movie first). A book about math AND love; my two faves!! I liked the discussion of Dumpees and Dumpers because, let me tell you, I am an extreme Dumpee just like the main character. I've never been in a romantic relationship but my friends dump me constantly.  The book discussed feelings of loneliness, love, friendship, and just people really well.

Fave Quotes: 

“It's just that I learned a while ago that the best way to get people to like you is not to like them too much.” <- also, very true in my SAD experience.

“Because you're only thinking they-might-not-like-me-they-might-not-like-me, and guess what? When you act like that, no one likes you.” <- in my SAD experience this is VERY true.

As a Muslim, I did not like Hassan's character. I get that all Muslims are different and so yeah, I'm sure there could be someone like Hassan. But does he have to call his friend Kafir so many times? He wasn't the best portrayal of a Muslim to me. Also, it's possible I don't always like John Green's writing style. I think he has profound things to say through his writing but the execution sometimes isn't there. Here, it was close. I've got to say. All in all, I really enjoyed this book.

Rating: 4/5
Completed: Early August 2017.

Riverdale Review: Excellent but worried it will go the Pretty Little Liars route

Just finished watching the season one finale of Riverdale. This show is a gem! *slow clap* Great job, Riverdale writers and the CW. This was a great mystery story. Even though it is supposed to be a teen mystery, I felt like it was a mature and coherent story. Though sometimes, I think it purposely bring Teen Show elements into the show just to remind us that yes!!! This is a Teen Show!!! like the dance battle which I think is cool that it’s so self-aware. Another self-aware moment: when they mentioned the Bechdel Test in the season finale LMAO. I really hope it does NOT go the Pretty Little Liars route. PLL was pretty good in the beginning but then ruined it with a jumbled and illogical story. The season finale gave us ANSWERS (who killed Jason Blossom) and left us with reasons to watch the next season. The CW remains as one of the best networks on TV, and I have high hopes for season 2. 

Rating: 5/5. 
Completed: August 10.

Paper Towns: I don't want to read about the 10th time Quentin visits a subdivision

My Paper Towns by John Green: I liked the movie better ☹. This book tended to drag and I'll venture to say it was unnecessarily long. I don't want to read about the 10th time Quentin visits a subdivision. I see why it had to be long - its a mystery and so clue finding can take some time but I feel like the clue-finding should have been done in a more exciting way. I also didn't like the ending with Margo standing there in the dark with Q. It felt a little sudden and inconclusive. It just didn't make the moral of the story too clear. The ending made it seemed like Q still thought Margo was all-that. I wanted the end to acknowledge all the friends who he went on the road trip. Instead, they disappear and dont return at the end. I think the movie did a better job when it showed everyone having fun at prom in the end. That showed that Q was over Margo and appreciated the real friends he had in front of him. I obviously love the moral of the story: you should imagine people complexly. I wish it just didnt take 300 pages to get there. 

Rating: 2/5.
