The Office *squee*

OMG I love The Office! I was merely enjoying it yesterday and now it has blown into fullblown, addicted completely must watch every episode, love every character and relationship and makes me LMAO ALL the time, full fannish glee. I am so amazed by it, the acting, writing and cinematography (the camera is a character!) is all so well done. It's almost equal to Arrested Development in its brilliance. Maybe it is, I have to go back and watch AD to compare. But anyway, wow. I have never laughed so hard in my life for some of these moments and it does it in such a unique way. I love how the show mixes both the outrageous and normal, the cruel and the kind, the happy and the heartbreaking.

And yeah, I love Michael. I know he's horrible and can be such an idiot and say the worst things...but I can't help but adore him. He tries so hard, it's so obvious how desperate he is for others to like him, to be his friend and yet he has no idea how to go about it which further isolates him. It kills me, it really does. But then he does the cutest things with kids or with trying to defend his office family, I love it. Steve Carell is made of awesome; I saw him in Little Miss Sunshine again today (LOVE!) and he was amazing. But anyways, his relationship with Dwight is particularly hilarious (they both have that neediness to them that so works with them) and I have grown to love Dwight more than I ever thought I would. His geekiness is too cute. Speaking of cute, Jim and Pam are made of it and too adorable. I wouldn't say I ship them but I certainly like them together. I love them both, but Roy and Katie were the worst choices of boyfriend/girlfriend that I have ever seen. Especially Roy, I can't understand sticking with a guy who would treat you like that. But anyway, I adore all the secondary characters too and I absolutely love the family moments between them even with all their issues with each other. And I have this strange attraction to Michael/Jan but more in a push/pull "I can't believe I'm doing this" kind of way.

Seriously, so much LOVE for this show. I've marathoned the entire S2 from 204 today and just saw 301 which was made of awesome and OMG so funny. I am dying to see more but sadly reached my sendspace limit and bittorrent is not working. Argh. I totally rec this show to everyone though and if by chance you know of any good vids to it, link me up.

In other news, I'm officially going to see Greg Proops and Wayne Brady in Largo (in LA- *loves CA*) on January 24th. Can't wait! Now I will have seen all of the main Whose Line members in a span of three months. Niice. Which btw, Whose Line was mentioned on The Office! Michael said he learned all his improv skills from the best, "Drew Carey and Ryan Stiles". Now the first, while wrong, works for Michael but I was all happy with the Ryan mention. And as an added bonus, Chip Esten was in two episodes. That was awesome. Oh and there was even a Queer as Folk mention..."Queer as Fuck". Hahaha.,

Oooooh, you're going to see Greg's chat show? I desperately want to go to one.

But you've seen Ryan? ...in the past three months?

Yeah, I figured I should check it out and Wayne is just an extra bonus. But no, I haven't seen Ryan, I'm seeing him in the next three months ie April.
