And that's not really a productive thing to say. Maybe if I stick out my tongue while I'm saying it...? Noth, thhtatz naw pbbucktiff eefftherr. Oh, and the Ectype thing is dead. Now it's a blog all about Aaron Sorkin's new show. I kid you not. Enjoy Hawaii!

Nonetheless, *squee* is a very useful ability that you have learned well. I won't spoil anything, but it's interesting watching the US-Office progressing in light of having already seen all of the UK-Office. The culture and content is different, but the landmark plot points are all intact. It's been interesting for me to wait, wait for, wait for it, "Oh there it is!" these significant turning points. And then reflect on how they were approached or handled differently and what that means for the progression to the next plot point. The US version has one very intriguing and distinct difference regarding Jim/Tim that I am really liking as it unfolds... but doesn't exactly predict smooth sailing. O.o I have successfully hooked my non-TV watching friend from work "C____" on the Office. She would like to stab me, but refrains because she loves it so. What a long summer... *chuckles* I hadn’t realized I was introducing you to fan-speak. Nonetheless, *squee* is a very useful ability that you have learned well.

What a long summer…

Not until she figures her life out. On the other hand, I'm feeling more kindly disposed to her fiance these days--I'm not sure why. I actually DREAMED about it last night. I dreamed about the camera crew, and Angela/Dwight, which, when Dwight rolled the eight? Priceless. Brilliant. So much love for them, for the camera crew. Also, Jim's CRYING!! I nearly cried! I wanted to hug him and steal him away forever and ever. I maintain that Pam doesn’t deserve him. Not until she figures her life out.
