Shit's all sorts of different now.

He was in "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck" which I just watched and have tears coming down my face.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Singing Bel Biv Devoe! He should look ridiculous!

That was BRILLIANT.

I saw him being interviewed on the local cable show about Broadway, and he said they call him "Triple Threat," but you have to sing-song it in a falsetto.

FYI.

Ann, that's a ferret.

First, apologies if I'm incoherent today. Early this morning, Rigatoni took a sharp turn for the much worse. He's still alive, but barely.

On to last night's Office. Okay, the refrigerator box was a cheap laugh. And not even unexpected. But effective because so perfectly executed.

The ep as a whole rode that fine line between realistic, entertaining, and disturbing. Michael seemed to cross lines even he rarely crosses, though for very Michael reasons.

I predict Andy will do something stupid because of his sexual insecurity before the season ends. Probably involving group sex.

That was Michael's car that Stanley destroyed, right?

An ep centered around the interns would have been nice, but obviously that won't happen. I suspect none of them will end up with Dunder Mifflin permanently, not least because the cast is already too big.

Compassionately intolerant

While I highly recommend watching the whole episode, this clip of Josh Groban on Nevermind the Buzzcocks perfectly illustrates his view of his own image.

Throughout the show, he's self-effacing, charming and down right funny.

I was never a fan of his music, but I love watching him do comedy.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, my favorite bit was A man and his hand.

Yup.

I assume there were intern-centric webisodes over the summer, but I haven't looked for them.

Parks and Rec was actually pretty funny last night, I thought. The opening was HI-larious.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, that could be pretty hilarious.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Okay, that could be pretty hilarious.

Did you ever see their movie?

They sit around drinking Yoo Hoo and listening to the Velvet Underground. They do an expose on "psychic surgery" and then they get killed.

Nope. But I've enjoyed their schtick.
