"Jim is gone...hes gone! I miss him so much! I cry myself to sleep! JIM! ...False. I do not miss him."
Ah the already classic ramblings of Dwight to kick off Season 3 of The Office...He may not miss Jim, but I sure as hell did... Jim, Pam, Michael...everybody!
Despite going through a brief period a couple weeks ago where I freaked out that The Office's new season wouldn't be able to climb back to the hilarious and dramatic heights of last season, those fears were put to rest resoundingly. Right out of the box Michael outs Oscar to the whole office to unexpected and chaotic results (The inspired Michael-Oscar kiss was one of those I can't look away from this train wreck moments for the whole office AND the home audience). And of course the Jim-Pam "situation" is NOT wrapped up in a nice little package, and I'm forced to keep tuning in like a fiend.
Jim's new office was another one of those hilarious bits that rang so true, like when you actually go to another office branch...and things are the same...but kinda different...like when you visit a city in a different time zone and Jeopardy! is on at 7:00 and not 7:30.
The little cutaway bit with Roy and his mugshot was a nice little touch as well. Roy trying to win Pam back should be a good storyline extender, but I so DON'T want to see him pull it off. So it should be a great season... Especially tomorrow! Don't miss it! The blurb:

"The Convention"
Michael organizes a party in his hotel room when he, Dwight and Jan attend a convention in Philadelphia.

With the recent Beerfest fever thats swept the nation I've decided to take a bigger look at the architect of that masterpiece, one Jay Chandrasekhar. The legendary member of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe has also given us the ultimate comedic cult flick in Super Troopers. Not to mention Jessica Simpson's beautiful ass cheeks in last years Dukes Of Hazzard movie. Add to that his current surprise cameo turn in the feature film Jackss 2, and you have all the makings of a screen god. But this man isn't just limited to the movies...no, hes brought his special brand of direction to the small screen as well, with episodes of Undeclared, Arrested Development, and the tragically short lived Andy Richter Controls The Universe. So I ask you all now, to gaze lovingly at our current Screen Capture Of The Week, raise your glasses, and toast this comedic visionary...this great American Hero...this man who would be Barry Badranath...Jay Chandrasekhar.

Still trying to decide whether to see Broken Lizard's Beerfest or Artie Lange's Beer League? Here's a head to head:

	Beerfest	Beer League
Sport	Beer games	Softball
Products Consumed	Mostly beer, goldschlager	Beer, weed, hard liquor, cocaine
Body count	4	1
Whores	Two: one very old, Jay Chandrasekhar	Pitching machine, about 7 others
Antagonists	Germans	Italian Jersey trash
Boobs?	Yes	Yes
Most unexpected guest star	Monique	Jim Breuer
Go see this movie if:	You want to laugh	You're really really bored (really).

If you're reading this then you already know... I got the website up and running at my new place.

I thought I'd kick things off with an installment of:
Things That Puzzle Me
Today: The Clapper

A couple of years ago, I invested $14.99 in a device called The Clapper. Unless you've been frozen in a block of ice since 1986, you know what this is. What puzzles me is, even though my 3 roommates instantly learned how to use it, every other person who has sinced visited me, even on many occassions, seems to have no concept of how this thing works. It's just like the commercial always says: just clap your hands in the rythmn of "CLAP ON." If it doesn't work, pause 2 seconds and try again. Don't just keep clapping! Don't make two quick claps either! I'm not sure where the difficulty is arising from, but it certainly exists. Maybe people just get overexcited when using The Clapper.
