Looking good tonight, dudes and dolls. We’re losing our Papa Murphy’s cherries, I have a fine selection of adult beverages, bowl games are on, and the new Car and Driver came.
Yeah. So.
I’ve enjoying my time off—don’t have to be back until next week—but this shall be the last day of wanton sloth. I’ll work in the garage some tomorrow, and perhaps even cross off an item or two in the backyard if there’s a favorable window of temperature and (lack of) precipitation.
I started watching The Office, on Netflix HD via the Xbox 360. All of you who have told me for years that I would like that show have been correct. Until the day before yesterday I had never seen even five seconds of it, and I’m part of the way through the second season now. It’s good stuff, though I’m way past ready for Jim and Pam to get together. This might have been riveting weekly tension; viewed rapid-fire I can’t believe how long it’s taking.
It’s felt good to unplug my brain. I’ll begin reconnecting circuits a few at a time tomorrow. Perhaps you’ll get a better post then. Heh.

Dude, it takes much, MUCH longer for Pam and Jim to get together. I, for one, appreciated it. It was a nice slow burn with many ups and downs and for every time the writers teased a cliche from a sitcom, they swerved away to show how much reverence they had for the audience. Enjoy. S2 was some of the best on TV. “Conflict Resolution” and “Benihana Christmas” are two of my favorites.
Bo…this is so funny…we had never watched The Office either ’til about two months ago. We signed up for Netflicks and found out we could stream through the X360 in the livingroom. We just finished the last of the ones available (season 5) on Monday. I can’t believe I was never into this show before…and I’ve picked up the VERY annoying habit of “that’s what she said.”
You have to cook their pizza at home?
BamaDan, Marianne: What a great show. I really have been told repeatedly that I ought to watch it, and yes, I am its bitch. The in-your-face stuff is funny, but there are so many subtle jokes too. It’s a really rich comedy.
TommyG: Heh! Man, it was great. Awesome stuff.
