TV Talk: Downton Abbey

It's official... I am officially obsessed.  I was hesitant to start watching this show after it popped up (IMO) out of nowhere.  I mean, Masterpiece Classic what the what?!  Finally, someone was just like GET ON IT, Bekah!  So I did just that.  I downloaded the first season so I could watch it in the car on the 12 hr drive to JAX Beach.   And I did!

Here's one reallllly good reason to watch:

IF that's not enough 1. You're cray cray 2. Look again.Lemme tell you what!  I was gasping, screaming, giggling, yelling, and all of the above the whole time.The show is everything I love about television shows.  Drama, mostly.  Gooooood drama.
I won't give anything away because that's cruel and the suspense is the best part.Don't give away Season 2, I am still watching.Have you watching Downton Abbey?  Let me know if you love it as much as I do!

TV Talk: The New Girl

I am so glad that I fell behind on The New Girl because I just got to spend almost 2 hours laughing so hard. I am embarrassed that the neighbors might have heard me, and thought I was having Fran Drescher over for dinner.  I seriously CANNOT control my giggles when it comes to this show.  Love me some Zooey.

viaOne of the reasons?  This monologue.  Jess goes on a rant defending herself to Nick's girlfriend, the mean power suit wearing lawyer who doesn't like dessert.  It's from episode 11, Jess & Julia, read more here.  I hope it resonates with as much hilarity as I found.  I can't find the video, but it is on demand!(yes, I am still laughing)

"I brake for birds

I rock a lot of polka dots

I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours

I spend my entire day talking to children...

and I find it fundamentally strange that you’re

not a dessert person. 

That’s just weird, and it freaks me out. I'm sorry I don't talk like Murphy Brown,

I hate your pantsuit

I wish it had ribbons on it or something to make it slightly cuter-

And that doesn't mean I'm not smart and tough and strong...

And I'm about to go pay this $800 fine and my checks have baby farm animals on them... bitch!"
