It’s About A Girl, Chapter 8: Nice to Meet You

I don’t know about you guys, but I am really loving this series by Andrew Jenks. In his previous work, the foundation has pretty much been laid out for us. However, with this series, it’s left up to interpretation. I always find myself after watching these videos wondering if that’s what he meant to do or if I was interpreting the scenes or the message correctly.

Cover of the Day

Obadiah Parker – Hey Ya

I probably listen to this cover on Spotify once a week, but I’ve actually never posted this so I had to share it with all of you. The first time I heard this was watching my favorite web series, Casual. And we all know how I feel about that series, don’t we? I know Sundays are typically saved for rest and relaxation so if you haven’t checked it out yet, now is the time to start. Seriously. You can finish the entire thing in a day (I do it once a year) and you won’t regret it.

It’s About A Girl, Chapter 1: The Beginning

If Yow Yow! could have a crush on one thing, it would be web series. For those of you who have been reading us for awhile, do you remember our obsession with Dorm Life and Casual?! Those were two incredible series that I could not get enough of. These days it’s #CandidlyNicole and now we’re throwing another one into the mix! Earlier this week, I blogged about Andrew Jenks’ new web series “It’s About A Girl” with Taryn Southern on relationships – fantasy vs. reality. Yep! Just like that one scene in 500 Days of Summer. The first episode is posted above and we’ll be posting it on a weekly basis for 8 weeks as there are 8 episodes.

It’s very much different than anything we’ve seen from Jenks before in the past, but I think that’s why I’m so intrigued by it. Since we know he obviously puts out good work, this one surely won’t disappoint.

Casual – The Series

I don’t remember how and when I was introduced to Casual, but it definitely helped as a distraction while I was transferring files earlier this week. Last summer, I became invested in the webisode series “Dorm Life” and this year at the end of my summer, it happens to be  Casual. Casual is a webisode series that follows the “casual” relationship of a boy and girl. I know that’s not a lot to go on, but regardless, it is addicting. Casual relationships are common these days within our generation. It may have been something that was frowned upon back in our parent’s days, but  it happens to lead to extraordinary things today like love, serious relationships and marriage.

Even though Ashley hasn’t watched the series yet, the idea of casual relationships was the topic of choice during her visit these past couple days. Everything used to be so easy for our parents. You meet someone. You date. You get married. You have kids. Everything was at a much younger age, but now our generation has already surpassed the age we were “supposed” to get married and we feel like we’re racing against the clock. The ideal age to marry is getting pushed back further because we want to set aside time to pursue our own endeavors before settling down, but the worry is that we won’t find someone until much later. I love Millionaire Matchmaker, but many of the millionaires searching for love on that show are in their late 30’s or pushing 50’s and by that time, having kids does not seem like a possibility.

Ashley and I both agreed that if we just knew that in a few years we would find someone that would be the one, we would be perfectly content with that and no longer worry about walking on eggshells around every guy that comes in our path. But psychic services aren’t free, you know?

What I love about Casual is that it has the opportunity to be my life or my friend’s life in a couple of years. It’s relatable. It’s complicated. And it’s funny, but in the end it’s so much more than that. It tells the story of a relationship from start to finish in a way that shows the growth process. Essentially, it’s about timing though and that’s what I have learned is most crucial to a relationship. At the same time, it’s also the most uncontrollable factor in the equation.

The series is only three seasons long (about 5 eps. to each season) each ep ranging from 5-10 minutes. The series is approaching it’s series finale this month so get all caught up now! Check it out here – I don’t think you’ll regret it. Jay Diaz did an incredible job writing and directing the series. The music choices are current and relevant and Lauren Marini and Brian Thomas Smith are sensational portraying these two characters that you will fall in love with yourself.
