Civil Offense!

In the words of Dwight I can only hope that the traffic officer that cited me this morning on my way to work gets something like "Uh, Leprosy, Flesh Eating Bacteria, Hot Dog Fingers, Government Created Killer Nano Robot Infection". I hate to say that, cause you know my belief of karma...but I didn't say it. Dwight did. To make a long story short, I got pulled over for speeding this morning! 53 in a 45, or so I was told, until the officer came back and said the speed limit was really 40. For all I know, he changed the sign when I wasnt looking or maybe there wasnt really even a sign posted in sight. I was doing good, havent had a ticket since...2004 sometime...and that was for speeding too...

All I have to say is "A lot of the people (COPS) here don't get trophies very often, like Meridith or Kevin (Or the officer that pulled me over!). I mean who's gonna give Kevin (The officer that pulled me over) an award, Dunkin' Donuts? " - Michael Scott.

hehe! my rant has ended..happy thursday to all...

The Office Summer Vacation

NBC posted a frakktastic promo for the upcoming season on Youtube and I just had to post it! I am speechless. I have no speech. This is emotionally magnificent! I guess I should put a SPOILER ALERT for those of you who don't want to be spoiled on the upcoming season but let me just tell you that this clip is so worth it. And don't worry, it doesn't include anything about what the premiere is about, just a bunch of talking heads on what everyone did on their summer vacations. I have two favorite talking heads. One is Karen's talking head (you will know why it is my favorite, I just wish I had a visual to go with it) and my other favorite is Ryan's talking head. I busted out laughing when he said he thinks he used to date a black girl in Scranton. Ha! Poor Kelly. Wait, I take that back. I have more than two favorite talking heads because they were all so hilarious and could Jim and Pam be any cuter?! How many more days until September 27th? Here's to new beginnings and to Karen's crying ass being dumped by a fountain in NYC.
Enjoy!:




P.S. I want to send a special THANK YOU to Andrea for being the best GD friend I can ask for. You were a lifesaver today! That was just A-MA-ZING! Just for that, I will have to take you to watch Ratatouille and Y Tu Mama Tambien (pronounced Why Tu Mama Tambien) which of course means throw momma from the tambien ;o)

LOST

Ahhhh as of 0530 I finally finished season 2 of LOST. It has been a suspenseful 2+ weeks as I went through the seasons 1&2 (thank you E). I can't believe they spent a good amount of time just sitting on my desk waiting to be watched. Once I started, I was hooked. I was a little unnerved flying last week worried I was going to end up on some island without finishing the season I had started. And there were a few episodes in season 1 that I watched with the light on. The finale from season 2 did have me on the edge of my chair. Michael sucks! I have so many questions....so few answers..... Well now I have a long 4 months to wait until season 3 is out on DVD so I can have another mini marathon so that I'm caught up. Oh well, back to waiting another couple of weeks until my fall shows are up and running.

Does This Remind You of Someone?

(Picture from http://www.givememyremote.com/)

When I saw this a couple of weeks ago, I knew I just had to post it. I can’t quite put my finger on it but in this picture, Ed Helms (Andy) reminds me of someone I know. Hmmm, I wonder who it could be….I swear, I thought I knew someone who had that same problem. I think his name is Mave or maybe Tave…Eff, I just can’t remember ;o)

I don't mean to make fun of my friend's misfortune, but I must admit, that was kinda funny. We're not laughing at you, we're laughing with you.

Along the same subject, those newbies running with Matt in the San Jose Marathon might want to invest in some nip band-aids so that this doesn’t happen to them.

Matt's Ricky Gervais Dance

Since my last post talked about Rick Gervais, I figured I'd post the David Brent dance that he does in the BBC Office. This is going out to those of you who were in Rocky Point and were wondering what the heck Matt was doing when he was dancing drunk. Here is his inspiration:



I wish Matt would have done the whole thing including sound effects but I guess we'll all have to settle for the little part that he did for us. Thanks Matthew Brent!

Extras

My love for anything and everything that Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant do has no bounds. These guys are comedic geniuses and are groundbreakers when it comes to situational comedies that are cringe-worthy and uncomfortable.

Extras is no exception to this. This is one of those shows that I was glad was on HBO because they couldn’t have gotten away with half of the stuff they did if this aired on regular tv. Each episode has cameos with great actors such as Kate Winslet, Ben Stiller, Orlando Bloom and Robert De Niro to name a few. These guest actors do some of the funniest/raunchiest things that I never would have thought they would do. I won’t go too much into the storylines so as not to give away too much but this show is a must watch. As is with all Gervais-Merchant comedies, this show is only two seasons long with each season being six episodes. Andrea is in the middle of watching season 1 and I believe she is loving it too. Since I Netflixed it, I am going to have to go out and buy these two seasons so I can enjoy it all over again!

I will be forever indebted to Gervais and Merchant for being responsible for my current love and obsession. Although the Dawesome Greg Daniels and crew sure took my obsession to a whole new level, they could have never done it if it wasn’t for the original. I can’t wait to see what Gervais and Merchant come out with next!

Puerto Penasco

Ok ok ok, I cannot wait any longer! (ha-ha That's What She Said!) For reals though, in less then 24 hours we will be on our way to Rocky Point! Hello beach, banana boat and a little of what we like to call "liquid courage!" a.k.a. getting our drink on!! All I have to say is, "There ain't no party like a Rocky Point party, 'cause a Rocky Point party don't stop, uh uh uh." AND, "I just want to lie on the beach and eat hot dogs. That's all I've ever wanted." Yup, that pretty much sums it up.
