Almost Midnight Post from iheartbigtuna

Soooo, I've finally finished every last episode of season 2, I've watched all the bloopers, almost every deleted scene, and one commentary (on The Dundies episode). However, now that I've realized that there are 4 seasons of The Office, not 3 so far, this is a fairly insignificant achievement. But I would like everyone to know that my new favorite episode is Conflict Resolution! And I have a new favorite quote I'd like to add,

Michael has brought Jim and Dwight into the conference room to settle their multiple disputes. Michael says, "So Dwight, you told Toby that Jim changed all the pens and pencils in your pencil holder to crayons...everyone called you 'Dwane' today and you suspect Jim...you hit yourself in the face with your phone..."
Jim tells camera, "Yeah, I just filled the reciever with nickels over some time so he'd get used to the weight and then one day I just took them all out..."

I love that! Oh, and I also love it when the captian of the Booze Cruise ship tells Dwight he's steering the ship when its a fake wheel!

Here's the big thing though, lately I've found Michael simply annoying, ignorant, and stupid. But after watching the episode where he goes to NYC to have that meeting with corporate (the name of this particular episode escapes me), I've found that I've changed my mind about him. When he told the other managers that he "slept with Jan" I wanted to shoot him, but when Jan gets mad at him and he realizes she's really upset, he wanted to talk to the boss guy and fix everything. At first I thought, "Oh no, now he'll just mess things up more" but he actually went about that very professionally. I also liked the line when he said "I told a joke to ____ (can't remember the idiot managers name but he's the dad from Phil of the Future - don't ask me how i know this) and he took it the wrong way, you know ________, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed - but he's still a tool."

Anyway, its offically tomorrow morning...erm today...erm Sunday...well g'night/g'morning!

The Office = life!

PS.
My mom is officially hooked on the office! Seriously! Yay, another convert! What really made her a fan was the whole Pam & Jim relationship thing and she was totally obsessed by it after watching them finally kiss in Casino Night. She also made a good point today while we were watching the last of the 4 episodes we hadn't yet seen. The theme song was playing and we were both humming to it's tune and she said, "This song really makes you happy." I couldn't have said it better myself.

Clarification for iheartbigtuna

Hey iheartbigtuna! I just wanted to clarify something for you. Karen is the evil woman that can be seen throughout season 3 both at the Stanford branch at Dunder Mifflin, as well as back at the Scranton branch in the latter portion of season 3. She and Jim (much to my dismay and chagrin) date for a few months before they finally go their separate ways. Karen is played by Rashida Jones who I hate for 3 reasons:
  1. She ruined things for Pam and Jim
  2. She dated John Krasinski in real life for a while
  3. She dated Seth Meyers, who can be seen on my other obsession, SNL as the head writer and co-anchor on the Weekend Update. (Seth Meyers is my other obsession whom I would be fine with marrying, as well.)

Stupid Rashida Jones also got to do backup vocals for Maroon 5 in their newest album, "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" on the song entitled "Kiwi." That was one of my favorite songs until I discovered this little tidbit of information. She's so stupid. I still love Maroon 5, though.

The person that you were referring to before, the one who brought Legally Blonde with her on the deserted island, is the character, Katie. She was the purse lady from season 1 whom Dwight, Michael, and Jim asked out on a date, but only Jim was successful in his romantic endeavors. Katie is played by Amy Adams, who can be seen alongside Patrick Dempsey in that new movie where the animated prince and princess come to real life in New York City. Not sure what it's really called, Sorry.

I hope that cleared things up for you a little bit.

KKras on: Launch Party

This episode was the best of the three so far this season, hands down. Like Mrs. Schrute mentioned earlier, the beginning brought back fond memories of our old English class so long ago. (Do it for Johnny, man) Inside Joke. Which brings me to another great office quote: Michael- "I love inside jokes. I'd love to be a part of one some day." (The Convention)
This week, I have to say, my heart broke for Dwight. That was just awful. Seeing him with his five o'clock shadow (actually looked more like a nine o'clock shadow to me) just showed how hurting he was inside. He couldn't even bring himself to shave that morning, that's how depressed he was. Poor thing. Angela was kind of a b-witch to him. But, I'll admit, killing someone's cat is pretty bad, no matter what the circumstances.
Can I just say, way to go, Phyllis! Way to stand up for yourself. You show that psycho Angela who's boss.
It's Saturday and I still can't get that song out of my head. I will leave you with the following lyrics: "When you're all alone, and the pretty birds have flown, honey I'm still free; Take a chance on me."

All About KKras

Hey everybody, I'm going to tell y'all about my favorite things about "The Office"
Code Name: KKras (because I'm going to marry John Krasinski someday, he just doesn't know about that yet)
Favorite Character: Jim, duh. And Andy a little bit. And Angela and Dwight. Just not Karen.
Least Favorite Character: KAREN :Z I HATE KAREN STUPID STUPID KAREN. SHE'S AN IDIOT AND I HATE KAREN. That was written in red because it's the color of blood and I don't like Karen (if you couldn't already tell.)
Favorite Episode: The Injury, Diversity Day, Launch Party, The Christmas Party, A Benihana Christmas, and the last episode of season 3 and the first episode of season 4 (because that's when Jim ridded himself of the foul creature known as Karen.)
Favorite Quote: From "Diversity Day." Everyone has an index card with a different ethnicity written on it and the officeworkers are instructed to talk to one another using stereotypical remarks and they have to guess what ethnicity they have.
Pam (to Dwight)- "Based on stereotypes that are totally untrue and I don't believe in, you might not be a very good driver."
Dwight- "Oh man, am I a woman?!" (the card on his head actually said Asian)
First Impression of the Show: I thought it was okay, nothing special.
How long you've been waiting for Pam and Jim to get together: Since forever. But then stupid idiot Karen had to come along and screw everything up. Dumb loser Karen. Moron.
Favorite Song Played/Sung on the Office: I have 2-
  1. "Take a Chance on Me"- Andy sang this song to Angela to win her over in "Launch Party." As soon as the episode was over I ran straight for my computer so I could buy it on iTunes. I actually bought the A*Teens version and it sounds like they've had about nine RedBulls before singing the song compared to Andy and his "Here Comes Treble" a capella group.
  2. "You Oughta Know"- Kevin sang this song on the karaoke machine in "A Benihana Christmas." It was amazing. I bought that song, as well.

Whatever Else You Want to Say: "The Office" is amazing and now I don't think I can live without it. Seriously, life without the Office is like life without air. It just can't happen for me. I live for this show. And, I have Mrs. Schrute to thank for getting me into this brilliant piece of comedy. So, thank you, Mrs. Schrute.

The End of Season 2: iheartbigtuna's flashback to last season's finale

Last night I watched Casino Night, the last episode in season 2. It was amazing! I'm having trouble remembering the funny parts b/c the ending was amazing!!! Now I know why everyone was so glad to see Pam and Jim together in season 3! That ending was amazing - Jim finally tells Pam how he feels about her after Roy ditches her at the Casino Night party in the warehouse and then she calls her mom at her desk and Jim walks in and they just kiss....awwwwww....it was so perfect!
Oh, I also watched the Dundies episode (the 1st episode of season 2) last night and I thought it was great how Kevin got the "Don't Go in After Me" award! That was hilarious!
Alrighty, I guess I should start my HW now...*sigh*....I could talk about The Office 4 ever!!

Mrs. Shrute- Episdoe from 10/11

Wow iheartbigtuna, you do have a lot of questions! I do understand though, it's only been a couple of weeks since you started watching. I was telliing KKras how we make a great team of Office Buffs, or Dunderheads, whatever you prefer, because KKras has the knowledge, I've been the longest fan, and you iheartbigtuna, give hope to the thousands of Office fans out there who think its too late to become an Office fan, but it is never too late!!
So about this weeks episode. We'll start with the beginning, which literally was the best part, I must agree iheartbigtuna. It brought back memmories for KKras and I, from English class a couple of years ago, there was a T.V. in the classroom, and there happened to be a block on the T.V. and we'd watch it go back, and anticipated it hitting into the corner!! I think the best part of that whole scene was that Michael had absolutley no idea that they meant the block on the T.V., but instead he was feeling confident about getting his whole team of Dunderheads excited about God knows what.
I thought Phyllis was pretty funny in this episode. I think we'll see some great things from Phyllis this season. Eventually, she'll take over the party planning commettee. It was great how she said all those things to Angela that the internet told her and you could tell it wasn't her own words.
I would just like to take this time to applaud Dwight on beating the computer in number of sales. Only I think it is possibly insane for someone to make well over one thousand sales in a couple of hours. But Dwight can do anything because he is Dwight!
The part when Michael kiddnapped the pizza boy is probally one of my favorite scenes in Office history. I was a little suprised though, Michael usually isn't a cheap person, I don't see why he got all upset. Well, now that I think about it, he drove all the way to New York (well, Jim did) for nothing, and he didn't get his sushi. Oh! Best Line of Whole Show:
"There's only one place to get authentic New York Style sushi." -Michael
"Tokyo?" -Dwight
And finally, KKras's favorite part: Andy's Song to Angela. I wouldn't be suprised if Andy and Angela went out on a date, of course, Anglea would do it to make Dwight completely jelous, and Andy would do it for his crazy pants, so it wouldn't be meaningful at all what-so-ever.
So that's what I think. Iheartbigtuna, I will answer all you're questions tomorrow, but I KKras can do it sooner. I'll do a bunch more posting tomorrow, and I'll try to get pictures up as soon as possible. It's too late, and I want to rewatch the scene with the block! BYE!!

Ok now iheartbigtuna knows who Karen is and who "Mother Goose" is

Ok, I just looked on NBC.com's office site and read Dwight's blog - amazing- and saw that Karen is Jim's old girlfriend (the one who brought Legally Blond to Desert Island in the Fire episode) and "Mother Goose" is Phyllis. So yes, now I understand why u don't like Karen - i don't either, so much so that I chose to forget her name. Also, I took that quotes quiz and failed miserabley and and got a 90 out of 360. Which I believe is the equivalent of 25% - joy. But really, that quiz is hard b/c I don't know half of the episodes that the quotes are from and when I do recognize a quote, I word it slightly wrong (like once I made "someone" one word and got it wrong). But it was still fun and the only quote I successfully got right all the way through was the one with the Bird and the worm from Office Olympics b/c it's my favorite episode!

iheartbigtuna's thoughts on Launch Party episode

The beginning was hilarious! It was great b/c at first I had no idea why they were all so animated but then i realized it was the block and I totally lost it! I actually rewound it and watched that scene again (partly b/c my brother wanted to see it but mostly b/c I wanted to see it again).
Anyway, I loved the whole idea of "Mother Goose", as I like to call her, trying to "understand" Angela's angst and I loved loved loved Jim & Pam typing to Dwight as "the evil computer". It was kinda sweet that Pam felt bad for Dwight at the end and told him "u beat me" but i still have no idea why he froze up like that... any thoughts?
It was hilarious when they yelled at Ryan over the cyber-camera and I was cracking up when they kidnapped the pizza delivery boy.
I also loved (man, I need another verb other than love) when Andy was trying to ask Angela out, I have no idea what he sees in her exactly but that song at the end was amazing, and it was cute that it made her almost smile.
The bear horn was amazing! :) :) :) What more can I say about that - it was just amazing!
I loved the episode, but my only complaint was that it kinda died at the end when Dwight and Michael went out to get pizza. I was kinda disapointed by the fact that they weren't eating pizza on someone else's car instead of their own (that would be funny) and I really didn't get Ryan just staring at the screen at the very end...but other that, I loved it!
My predictions for next episode is that the pizza guy will trash Dwight's beet farm or something to get back at them. I really hope they don't just drop the whole "kidnapping" thing - the police should totally show up at the office! I can't wait for nxt week! :)

PS I have a question:
Why didn't Pam end up getting married 2 Roy? Not that I wanted her to get married to him, but I'm just wondering what made her change her mind (besides the fact that Roy's a complete idiot).
I still haven't watched the last episode of season 2 so if that explains it just tell me to watch it, but if it doesn't explain, someone please do. Thanks.
