There is…

{Original Image} I have a confession to make… It isn’t easy for me to say this, but I’ll just come out with it. I am obsessed with watching Good Mythical Morning. Every morning, I wake up and immediately load YouTube on my iPad to watch videos while I’m getting ready. Rhett and Link have distinct…

I have recently started watching the kooky and hilarious sketch-comedy show Portlandia, although it is still on the air and is being renewed shortly for it’s fifth season, you can also find all of the old episodes on Netflix.
