That’s deplorable, unfathomable, improbable
I walked into my home after work today and my roommate Johnny Marbles informs me Johnny Cochran is dead. Deceased, defunct, disappropriated…
RIP JC.
I’m watching episode 2 of NBC USA’s “The Office” and have to stay it’s still, (so far) pretty effing funny. They’ve done a decent job in keeping with the original framework but the pacing is still a litle off — not enough awkward silences. (btw - Joan Allen’s neck is really weird — a preview for that new Kevin Costner flick just came on and her veiny neck seems to play a large role — “The Upside of Anger” is what it’s called — and Kevin Costner plays a former baseball star. I have to say I’m proud of Mr. Costner for exploring new and unchartered territory in choosing his movie roles. Way to go.)
Anyway, “NBC’s The Office” is over and it has met humor quality-control standards and it approved for further viewing.
favorite quotes:
“this is an environment of welcoming and you should just get the hell out of here”
“shalom, I’d like to apply for a loan”
After my computer has been cleaned for the 5 kajillionth time of spyware/trojan/virus crap and still cannot full function, I’ve decided I am finished with Microsoft products — FINISHED. as I can’t quite budget the sweet G5 Mac I want with 30″ screen, I am downloading mandrake linux this evening to replace this horrid piece of code called XP — from my research, albeit brief, it seems is a popular form of the open-source goodness. Eff XP. Eff Windows. I’m rooting for the little guy now — the 5-10% market share and growing. This kid Cody Brocious inspired me. And if Cody Brocious is not the best name for a skater/hacker kid — I don’t know what is. That’s totally brocious.

they are still pilfering from the UK Office, which is fine, but it makes for “didn’t i see that already” feel still. How they will do a full season (22 episodes) is anyone’s guess.
i liked when she was describing how she liked to save the certain card in “solitaire” because she likes when the cards go “fffftftfftftffttt”
hopefully less UK-joke stealing and more original stuff in the future…
I thought it was funny, though of course not nearly as good. I don’t think anyone will ever be able to match the sliminess of Ricky Gervais as Dave Brent, though.
