New Girl Season 1 Review

The show and the season that brought us the Douchebag Jar, True American and everything that is adorkable- let's talk about Season 1 of New Girl!

So this show came out when I was in college and I remember kind of half watching a lot of episodes- especially in the later seasons... and I had kind of stopped watching all together after I finished college because I had forgotten what night it was on and it was on a channel I didn't really watch that much anymore... so I just forgot about it until it was ending. I had tried re-watching it on Netflix before- but I had seen the first episode so many times it was kind of hard to stick with it and keep on watching. This time I actually did finish at least a whole season and I'm still watching season 2 so... I think I'll actually finish the series this time! It's been fun and I've been enjoying it.

I think my favorite episode of the season is Jess and Julia- which is where Jess tries to get along with Nick's Girlfriend Julia... but Jess is bright and sunny and happy and Julia is not... and she really patronizes Jess over doing things like getting her a blanket and giving her a cupcake. It was just a good episode and it was super relatable.

I also think the Fancy Man episodes are funny. I really like Nick's friend Dirk in those episodes... he's a funny and creepy guy and it's funny to hear Nick say "He's the smartest guy I know" because Dirk is kind of an idiot too. I also really liked when Nick found a robe or something and he said that it "Smelled like Shakespeare." Nick's relationship with Jess's boyfriends is always really funny because usually he can relate to them and with Fancyman he just really looked up to him... it was just a funny situation to see them together.

I CANNOT see how people don't see Nick and Jess as a couple... it just seems so obvious to me that they belong together. I mean I haven't seen the end of the show- so as far as I know they don't end up together... but I think I know what happens. Anyway- I think the relationship is paced well and it's kind of believable that their chemistry ends up in a relationship and an on again off again one too. Plus it feels balanced with CeeCee and Schmidt's relationship.

The characters on this show are very funny and kind of over the top... but also relatable and I'm kind of like them and I feel like I know people like them... there are just so many situations they get themselves into that are so funny. In this season one that comes to mind is the episode where Jess and the Loft watch Fancyman's daughter and all of Jess's roommates have something completely inappropriate going on. CeeCee thinks she's pregnant, Nick has a younger girl that he's been seeing over... it's just so many things that are relatable but there's just so much and it's so funny and relatable.

I know the writing team behind this show are now working on the show Single Parents which is kind of a similar show and it's also really funny... so I think if you watch one of these shows you might like the other one. My mom and I like Single Parents a lot- so I think I'll watch this show with her eventually cause she might think it's funny too. And I should probably catch up on Single Parents because I need to catch up on that.

Alright I hope you guys like this!

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
