As my husband will quickly attest to, I am an avid fan of The Office. I enjoy the comedy, the writing, the characters, and the storylines. I frequent www.OfficeTally.com for quotes, interviews, and my share of spoilers. I have talked about it with friends who are fans. I have even (and I'm a bit . . . hesitant . . . to share this fact) read a good chunk of fan-authored fictional stories about the show. (I had to quit/dramatically cut back, however, as my own writing endeavours were suffering as a result.)
So I was pretty excited about the start of the show's fourth season. And I still am, two episodes in. What is sort of perplexing to me, however, is the number of crticisms I have read on-line about this new season. Things such as the hour-long format being too draggy; too much focus on Jim and Pam; potential bad acting; bad writing; Michael's antics being too over-the-top and so on.
You know, I don't even know for sure why this is bothering me. I mean, people are entitled to their opinions, right? I guess what bugs me about such comments is they have been leading me look to at the show with a critical eye I would not be looking through otherwise.
Hmmm.
Time to toss another activity in the 'no longer do' pile.

A Week to Go!
Okay, I was excited about the release of season 3 of The Office on DVD, particularly when my pre-order arrived in the mail this past Friday, ahead of the Sept. 4th release date. It was an Office-filled weekend, to my husband's slight chagrin. (We balanced things out with some episodes of Invader Zim so it was all good.) If you're a fan of the show, I recommend picking this set up, if only for the blooper reel and episode commentaries. Good stuff.
But I think I'm getting a bit more excited for this Sept. 11th release:
Yessir, Paul Brandt's new album "Risk" is due out on that date and I'm really looking forward to it. His music has encouraged me many a time (in addition to having some really fun tunes to listen to), and even has been used as a soundtrack for my own creative endeavours. The video for the first single (Didn't Even See the Dust) is on You Tube and as I read in an interview with Mr. Brandt, is one that makes you want to speed, much as the single Leavin' from his previous release "This Time Around" is likely to do. Not that I have ever sped while listening to that song in the car. ;-)
