I love me some Office, but my one complaint is that there isn't nearly enough of Kelly Kapoor, aka Mindy Kaling, whom I find delightful and hilar-ville. Hearing her winsome voice exclaim "Fashion show at lunch!" will just never get old, people. Which is why I'm stoked to start supplementing my Office viewing with a new web series I discovered (with the help of Jezebel) starring -- you guessed it -- one Ms. Kaling. Based on the name of the site that hosts it, I've gleaned that much of the content was developed during the writers' strike and ended up a sort of repository for projects that creative writer types worked on to keep their minds agile when they couldn't do their regular jobs. (Note: In perusing the site I also came across a web series called Global Warming, starring my imaginary best friend Kristen Wiig and The Daily Show's Aasif Mandvi, which looks promising, but I did not watch it. Just sayin'.)

Anycase, as you'll see from the three minutes-plus first episode, the series, House Poor, is about the (presumably at least partially autobiographical) trials Mindy faces after purchasing her first home. And hey! This one features Busy Phillips! Watch it aprés le jump. (That's French.)
