Who's a fan of ABC shows? Modern Family is definitely a favorite in our household...and Once Upon a Time is my new addiction (I caught up to Season 3 in less than a week!) but now I've picked up a couple new shows. I was lucky enough to get to screen an episode of "The Neighbors" and "Agents of Shield".

Having adopted JR, adoption is a topic very close to my heart. So as a Nutrish® Ambassador, I was more than happy to extract some time out of my busy schedule to do some good, just in time for the holiday season! We made a series of two visits, wherein we visited a couple of shelters, helped out and donated some Nutrish coupons for hopeful adoptees.

When I screened Delivery Man prior to my #DeliveryManEvent trip, I had heard doubts about the movie right after coming out. Doubts that were completely overturned! As I exited the screening, I was surprised to hear that many thought Delivery Man was so much better than they expected. I expected nothing but the excessive humor that we all know Vince Vaughn is capable of. Then add on Cobie Smulders from "How I met your mother" and you know it'll be an epic comedy.

The life of a Disney story artist is definitely more complicated than it appears. That's what I learnt when I met with Dan Abraham (head of story/art) and Art Hernandez (lead storyboard artist) for Disney Planes. It all started over 2 years ago when they finally received the story that Klay wanted it to be at.

Many of you are Vince Vaughn fans. I've always found his movies funny to watch. Can you guess what's coming up? Yes, it's my Vince Vaughn interview! I'm one lucky blogger to have met Vince for the second time now. The first was when I visited the Delivery Man set in New York and watched Vince and Cobie film one of their scenes. I had the opportunity then to interview Vince Vaughn, Cobie Smulders, and Ken Scott.

This was somewhat of a surprise character because you really couldn't recognize Zachary Levi in this role. Most were shocked when they realized he played Fandral since he simply looked so different! Plus it was different from his usual geeky roles.

For our first of several posts, we chat about Pre-Vis development with Jason McKinley and Thomas Leavitt.

Despite having an avid love for super heroes, I never really ever understood the legions of #LokisLadies. What exactly was it that attracted everyone to Loki. Then I saw some really random clips of Tom Hiddleston being a goofball and well, that made him likeable. Then we interviewed him for the #ThorDarkWorldEvent and met him in person and realized that this guy was actually super sweet and interesting. Plus, he stayed longer on his own will just to answer all our questions, so bonus marks for him!

Can you believe we did two red carpet events in 2 days? I, myself, am still in a little bit of shock over it. The day after the #DeliveryManEvent premiere, we were hitting the red carpet again at the El Capitan Theatre for the #ThorDarkWorldEvent red carpet premiere. I had been particularly looking forward to seeing Jeremy Renner and Stan Lee but it was not meant to me.

Okay, so if you're anything busy like me, I've had minimal time to get ready for some crazy fantastical, out-of-this-realm experiences. Remember I told you I was going on the #ThorDarkWorldEvent and #DeliveryManEvent from Nov 2-Nov 5 and would be walking the red carpet for the Thor Dark World Premiere? Well, things just got a hell of a lot more exciting, as if it wasn't exciting enough in the first place. Because guess what, we are now walking TWO red carpet events, one after the other. We'll also be walking the red carpet with Vince Vaughn, Cobie Smulders, and Chris Pratt. Yes, we are going to the Delivery Man premiere! Let me know if you have any questions for the Thor cast (Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Zachary Levi) and Delivery Man cast (Vince Vaughn, Cobie Smulders, Chris Pratt) and I'll try my best to ask.

I love my accessories but most of the time, that's limited to hats, shoes, purses, and earrings. Don't ask why I'm not much for bracelets and rings. It's just not always my thing. I like them but they're a smaller portion of my accessories collection. This time, I ended up picking up 4 bracelets.
