Projects Due

OK, so there are several things that I'm supposed to do that I have not:

• Office Recap - this is very emotional for me, I don't think I'll ever get around to doing this unless I hear that the season's back on.
• Poem Explication - I had to do three papers on Margaret Atwood's poem, Siren Song: a bio on the poet, an analysis of the poem, and an explication of the poem. I only did the first two. I am so tired and drained that I can't even get myself to write it (which also explains the lack of posts). I don't know if I'll ever turn it in. Probably, we'll see.
• Marriage Ceremony - it's this thing that I have to do for my friend. This one I really have to work on.
• Review for TOEFL - I was a FOB at one point so I have to take this exam so I can complete the requirements to transfer schools. I didn't think I had to review since I have a pretty good grasp of the English language, but then I tried one of the self-tests and I almost FAILED. Sad, but true... I guess I really am becoming an American.
• Christmas Stockings - we were asked to make a Christmas stocking at my part-time job. This one I'm all over... I'm too excited that I even volunteered to make some of my friends' stockings.
• Organize my Christmas list - I half-assed did this already, maybe I should revisit it and see if I could get away not giving gifts to some people. Not only am I cheap, I'm also broke. LOL.

Anyway, I'm sure there's a lot more things I can add to this list, and less things I could take off. Alrighty then, back to procrastinating.

Still grieving

I'm still grieving over the fact that Thursdays won't be the same anymore. Sure there's a couple more new episodes of 30 Rock (which has been totally brilliant this season), but Thursdays from fall thru spring won't be the same without The Office. :(

Then I see this news. Horrible.

Tomorrow, I'll try to write my uber-late recap of last week's episode. "Try" being the operative word.

Still working on it

I have not finished writing my papers for my English 1B class. It's due tonight. I had two weeks to do it. The funny thing is, I am not really stressing about not being able to turn it in on time. I've been so busy that I had to stop and not do a thing yesterday.

Anyway, back to work.

Bittersweet Thursday

Sigh.

Tonight is the last new episode of The Office. Me really sad. :( I don't want to be selfish and all, and I'm sure I'm not alone hoping that the writer's strike end soon.

Anyway, I guess I have to go back and attempt to do homework now.

"No More S'mores, No More S'mores!"

I liked this episode. Although, I think this one of the episodes that would have flourished better in the 1-hour format. In addition to that, I like the "communal birthday party" dilemma better than the survivor man-arc of the episode. I'm not saying that the Michael Scott scenes weren't funny, I just liked the office dynamic in this episode. As an office bee myself, I can kinda relate.


This episode to me was short and sweet. Here are some of the scenes I loved about this episode:

• The cold opening. I loved how Pam, Phyllis and Toby reiterated that Michael wasn't invited to the Wilderness Retreat. The scene where Toby was doing his talking head and Michael knocked on the glass was hilarious.


• Dwight going around the office, showing the camera crew where he hides his weapons. Favorites were the Rambo-knife filed under "A.Knife" and the blow dart hidden in the toilet tan. I still can't stop cracking up just thinking about that.


• Dwight as the Overkill killer. Very creepy and very Dwight.


• Dwight hitting Michael with his shoe.


• Creed and his peach cobbler: "Tell him it's for Creed, she'll know..."


• Michael and his cut-up suit and the duct tape. Reminded me of The Simpsons episode where they joined a country club and Marge got a Chanel suit from an outlet store and kept on "re-configurating" it to fit in with the other country clubbers. (also, hmmm... sand wedge")


• Oscar giving the Jim-look.


• Pam's "Conference room?"


• Michael wearing a Battlestar Galactica sweater.


• Creed skipping around the room. LOL.


• The sweet exchange between Michael and Jim.

And my favorite of the episode... past birthday (surprise) montage:

The last new episode is this Thursday. Me sad. Me very very sad.

I think I'm getting shunned

Ooops. I got too excited posting about The Office, and commented aboutlast night's episide "off-topic" on a post about "Kraft Single" . Anywho, the first time I get a sort-of reply from the editor and I get a slap on my typing-too-excitedly-about-The Office hands. Oh well.

Snap. LOL.

Me wants to see Leslie :(

I totally effed up in buying Feist tickets on time. There were too much stuff going on that I totally effed up. Oh well, she's a hardworking musician, she always tours. It is actually her second visit to SF this year. Maybe next year she'll come back.



In mourning, I will be playing her songs the whole day tomorrow at work. I'm sure it's going to be lots of fun at Nob Hill Masonic at 8pm tomorrow, while I fold merino sweaters or offer fitting rooms to lovely people or rummage through the stock room for good sales. Me so sad.

Here's a pick-me-up:
