Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Four)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. Thursday was short and sweet.

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Four)

Thursday was a very chill day. We got up late, and got the Staten Island Ferry over the river.

We did get the 11am service, but luckily for us there were no illegal alien enhanced weapons deals happening. although it would have been cool to have seen Spiderman!

It was a very busy journey, but it was cool to see the city from the water, and see the Statue of Liberty, albeit from afar.

I didn’t realise how huge it is, I’ve seen the replica in the Luxembourg gardens in Paris, but that one is pretty small, and the one on the Seine is also smaller than this one.

It’s a big monument, and very impressive and even though it would have been nice to go to the island, it was cool to see it as it’s such an important statue. Have some pics from the journey:

A nice view of Manhattan

The Statue through the barriers

The rest of the day was spent at the Staten Island Mall, wandering the shops, and dinner at Applebee’s :

Then we came back on the ferry, to a thunderstorm and heavy rain, so we ran to the station and back home.

A kind of boring day to describe, but it was pretty fun and nice to just relax a bit.

My post for Friday will be up next week, so make sure to follow my socials to keep updated!

Curly Hair, What's in There?: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

One of my favourite series, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, is ending next week. So sad, I know. And the last episode was very dramatic. So, I'm going to explore the events and how I think the series is going to end. If you haven't seen it, the show is the story of Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom), a successful New York lawyer who decides to uproot her life to move to West Covina, California to follow a boy she dated at camp, Josh Chan (Vincent Rodriguez III). She gets a job at a law firm, makes friends and stalks Josh until she finds out he is actually engaged to Valencia (Gabrielle Ruiz), a girl he went to school with. Rebecca ends up going out with Josh's friend Greg (Santino Fontana/Skylar Astin- will explain later), who ends things with her to move and go to business school. Then, the law firm gets bought out and Rebecca gets a new boss, Nathaniel (Scott Michael Foster), who isn't the nicest guy. They have a thing but later split up as well. Eventually Rebecca decides that s...

Curly Hair, What's in There? The Haunting of Hill House

Curly Hair, What's in There? is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. The Haunting of Hill House I know, I'm a little bit behind the curve on this one. It's taken me a long time to get around to watching this Netflix original series, but boy was I glad when I did. I like horror and I like drama and this series has it all. It explores some really serious themes while at the same time being exciting and scary. The series is about the Crain family, their experience in the haunted Hill House, named after its first owners, and how it affects them for their whole lives. I have a lot of thoughts and opinions about this show, so be prepared. To keep it as simple as possible, I'm going to talk about my five favourite things about this show. This contains SPOILERS for The Haunting of Hill House 1. Olivia Crain Carla Gugino as Olivia Olivia is the mother of the C...
