What I Watched This Week

So... this is a little bit weirder of a post, but I figured I would do it anyway... Its kind of like This Week In TV, but it will include things I'm catching up on, what I'm watching on Netflix, movies and things like that. Sometimes I start watching the same shows over and over and they aren't necessarily new shows, but I feel the need to talk about them... so I figured here is a catch all where I can just talk about everything!

So right after my things I want to watch on Netflix post, I watched a lot more of Comedy Bang Bang the TV Show. I love the podcast and I really like the TV show too, but I hardly ever watch it because its on IFC I always forget when its on and stuff. And I was watching it on Netflix but then I stopped cause I got busy. That's been really good and really funny.

Also somehow in all this Comedy Bang Bang watching and listening too... I got a crush on Andy Daily... which is weird? Lol I already did a MCM about him, so I won't get too much into it, but I've started watching Review with Forest McNeal again... I've finished watching this show, its in my 2014 favorites... it is one of the funniest shows on tv right now, I cannot wait for it to come back. Its really good and I just can't get enough of it. Lol.

I also watched a few episodes of An Idiot Abroad. This is a really funny show with Stephen Merchant, Ricky Gervais and Carl Pelkington and they send Carl to all these places like India, Jordan and China that they know he won't like because he's an idiot lol. He complains about a lot of the weird customs and it kind of gives you the negative perspective of a lot of these gorgeous countries and landmarks that you may want to visit. Its good to watch if you want to travel and can't afford it cause... you might not want to go there as much after you see some of the stuff. This is on Netflix, while it was on television (I watched the first few episodes on tv) they censored some of the language and nudity... in this they do not. Be warned that there is a lot of full frontal nudity in the 2nd episode. Its all very graphic, there are definitely some things they do with their bodies that look painful and you might not want to watch... lol thats all I can say about the second episode. There are also some cuisines they eat that you may not want to speculate as to what it is. Really funny show, but not for kids or for the faint of heart. Just so you know.

On a different note, a show that is great for kids and for adults alike is Even Stevens! I either just posted a Throwback Thursday on this or I will post one on it, but it is a really funny show. I used to watch it on Saturday Mornings and my parents and grandfather used to think it was funny to. It still totally holds up. I think its actually more funny now. Much like Rugrats, I really think I like it more as a grown up.

Started rewatching some episodes of Broad City... It's such a funny show. I wasn't in love with the first episode when I first saw it... Like when it first debuted and then I watched it again and the show is just super funny and it's another one I feel like I can watch over and over and it's still really funny and good.

And Bevers is so funny on the show, and I love him in Marry Me, which I've been catching up on this week. Really I was only behind a couple episodes, but its a good show and I'm really excited to see Nia Vardalos's upcoming episodes.Ken Marino and Casey Wilson are sooo good together. They're super cute and funny. And the whole cast just works well together. Tim Meadows is on it too... its just really funny. Plus it makes me happy that Casey Wilson married David Caspe, who created this show and Happy Endings. They lived on the same street in New York years apart before they met. That's kind of cool!

I've also watched a few shows currently on tv that came back this week. I watched most of this week's episode of The Middle, I watched American Horror Story... which was awesome! NPH does a fantastic job as a really creepy character, I think thats where he shines. I'm really interested in where this season is going now... its not my favorite, I'm feeling like its getting a bit boring, but this episode was good. I've watched @ Midnight, which is weirdly on at 11:30 for the next couple weeks before Larry Willmore's show comes on, and I forgot to watch it Thursday, and they've had some really good guests on this week. Paul F. Tompkins, Andy Daily, Nikki Glaser, Ron Funchs, Scott Auckerman, Paul Scheer... lots of funny people. It was a good week. Rugrats and Hey Arnold I've watched. I like it.

And that is it... I've been meaning to watch Camp Takota all week... but I haven't yet. I will! I promise!

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
