So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

And I absofuckinglutely LOVE how well this show handles the transsexual issues. Seriously.

Also, if Henry and Betty do not get together soon, I'm going to rip my hair out.

Steph speaks for me, on both counts.

I really loved this week's Office episode! I wouldn't say it was bleak, though it was pretty painful in some parts, especially Dwight's storyline. (The cat! Do you think Angela recognized Garbage?) But I also thought it was funny (all the Darryl/Kelly bits) and touching (Jim and Pam's efforts to cheer up Dwight) and silly (everything with Mose), and I'm really glad we finally got some kind of explanation as to why Jan is with Michael, and I liked seeing Michael make friends with people at his other job, even though it was sad watching him lie to Jan about what he was doing. I hope we see them on the upswing a bit.

I do think the writers could stand to take some of the focus off of the relationships for a little while, though. Maybe a return to the half-hour format will help with that.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

HR Pufinstuff was on South Park on Wednesday. It was quite odd seeing him twice in two days.

My mom watched that a lot when she was pregnant with me. That probably explains...something, huh?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm still not sure how I feel about this week's Office. A few random thoughts.

I'm not sure Michael's job at the telemarketer involved a bad boss as much as ridiculously high goals. Which may have been the boss's issue, but more likely the company.

I also have to wonder whether Ryan is getting ready to get rid of Michael.

Points to Andy for figuring out the way to get Angela's attention -- think in her terms.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

It's an odd episode alright. I think it's not very funny, personally, although there's a lot of great character stuff in it. I heart Jim, also.

I picked up the complete A BIT OF FRY AND LAURIE the end of last week, and though I've only gotten through a couple of episodes, I've got to say this is pretty funny stuff. Definitely worth net-flixing if you've never seen any. I've got friends who are huge HOUSE fans I need to show this to because they've never really seen Hugh Laurie in anything else, and it's an amazing thing to see where he came from.

never really seen Hugh Laurie in anything else

A fun way to screw with House fans is to show them some Blackadder.

Thrive to spite them

They also have to see his BlackAdder episodes. Those are hysterical and so very different from House.

Did anyone watch HIMYM last night? The ads kept showing Crazy Hot girl, but it was more about how everyone met. I particularly liked the Marshall and Ted tricked Barney, and the sandwich running gag.
