Who's that girl? It's Jess!

My poor little blog has been neglected lately because of a busy schedule, so I thought I'd post something fun to get back into the groove.

I'm in love! No, not like that. Well, I love my husband, but that's not what I'm talking about here. I love the new show New Girl staring Zooey Deschanel! Have you people watched it? If not, stop reading, go to hulu or fox.com and watch the available episodes. We're talking dorky, heartwarming, eyerolling, quotable comedy. For example, after Tuesday night's episode I updated my Facebook status to "I <3 New Girl". Out of the 18 comments that friends left, 12 were quotes from that one episode. There were no duplicates AND it's only a half hour show. That's good stuff.

A quick synopsis to intrigue you further: The aDORKable Jess (Zooey D.) gets dumped in an embarrassing way by her loser boyfriend in ep. 1. She doesn't want to live with her BFF CeCe because all her model roommates are annoying, so she answers an ad and ends up moving in with Nick, Schmidt and Winston. The hilarity that ensues as they all adjust to living with someone of the opposite sex is worth the price of admission. There are some very sweet moments as well where the guys help Jess move on from the break up and stand up for her when she's being bullied. And, as much as they try to avoid it, Jess helps the guys with their girl/self-esteem/sharing, etc. issues. They learn from each other in a fun, caring way and it works.

Go. Watch. Learn about the Douchbag Jar. You won't regret it.
