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!

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...
