So I was looking through the comedy series options and saw Jane the Virgin and gave it a shot. I've only watched the first 2 episodes, but I am totally charmed. It Is So Miami! I feel like I am home. Does it continue to be oh so charming and telenovelas-like? If so I am here for it.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Absolutely, Laura. You will love it!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love JtV so so so so much.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
How is it only in the last month or so that I'm discovering Hannah Gadsby? ("Discovering" like Columbus discovered America - she's been around for a good decade or something). She's got the most amazing spicy brains and she's cute as hell. Gotta find me a friend willing to lend me a Netflix password so I can see "Nanette". Seriously, she's awesome, how am I only just now finding this bandwagon to hop on to?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh! I get to be all "I liked her before it was cool"! Biyi and I saw her stand-up show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival a decade ago or so. She was just in a meeting room at Melbourne City Hall. (The topic was her experience walking across England, as in from the Irish to the North Sea.) One thing I missed out on was that she used to do walking tours of the National Gallery here. (She has a degree in Art History.)
Alas, I don't have Netflix, so I haven't seen Nanette yet either.

I love JtV so so so so much.
It is the Latino version of Soap, which I also loved. It's awesome.

I always thought of it as a Latina Gilmore Girls.

Ah, I didn't watch Gilmore Girls so I didn't get a connection there.

Yeah, she's got some great stuff on YouTube showing off her Spicy Art Brain.

The three generations of Villanueva women reminded me a lot of the three generations of Gilmores.
