I wasn't thinking about The New Girl clearing the way for nerdy girls, just that Jess's description makes me think I might enjoy it more than I had thought. I've been FFing past all the commercials on kneejerk Zooey avoidance.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I'm at a University, so there isn't a dress code really. I tend to wear suits and business wear. But, it's summer, so I'm a little more slack about it. Today, I'm wearing a calf length black jersey skirt and an olive short sleeve shirt with black patent slides. I wouldn't wear this during the year without a cardigan and full shoes. But, it's summer AND Friday, so fuck it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I keep trying to watch Community, and I just can't.

I hadn't watched a sitcom in years (since Seinfeld was canceled, really) but now suddenly I've got Community, Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, and HIMYM on my plate. And The New Girl in the fall because IT'S ALL ABOUT ME if I were single. So basically it's about my sister.
I've never even heard of Raising Hope. What network is it on?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I was at a university, there was a dress code. That's not fair.

Fox. It's Garret Dillahunt, Martha Plimpton, and Cloris Leachman. They are insane.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Raising Hope is my favorite new comedy this year. It's very very funny. And all the actors are good. No weak links. And the writers are unafraid to pursue the comic logic to its most ridiculous endpoint.
The season finale was one of the funniest things I saw this year, aside from two episodes of Archer.

I watched it because I wanted to know if Garret could do comedy, and because the baby on the billboard was crazy cute. It was the first sitcom I'd watched in years, and it was totally worth it. And Hec is right. It goes whole hog, and then regurgitates the hog.
Oh! You know what we haven't had enough of recently? Hookers and blow!

OH, yeah, Archer! So Raising Hope gets better after the pilot? it was quite the clunker.
OOh, I figured out which car's horn keeps going off. What should I write in the note??

I've hit a wall - my brain refuses to do any more work. This means I get to spend the rest of the afternoon on Hulu, right?
