- I had Seinfeld playing in the background, and it was the sponge episode. I heard a familiar voice in the background talking with Elaine... Turns out that Elaine's sponge-worthy guy? Is Scott Patterson from The Gilmore Girls. How about that. He is really hard to recognize though. I don't know what it is, maybe the hair.

- Tina Fey announced she is leaving SNL. I used to like her a lot of SNL, but Weekend Update has not been so good lately so maybe a shake-up will be good. I'm sad though to see Rachel Dratch leaving as well.

- I finally got courage to post online some Office fanfiction I wrote. It had been kicking around for a while on my hard drive, and I finally finished editing it and got the courage to post it. Ah yes, my friends, that is my dirty little secret. I can't help writing fiction. I'm not a great writer by any mean, but I love it. I used to write X-Files fanfic (without posting it) and now, I write Office fanfic. Anyway, if you are curious, they live here: A Walk in The Rain and To Make You Feel My Love.

Blog Design & Television Critic Association Awards

I've played around with the layout of the blog because I just realized that it looked like crap on Mozilla (it had no left margin) while it looked perfectly fine on Explorer. It looks a bit better now, but it is still not perfect in Mozilla. I do hope it is easier to read if you are using a Mozilla browser.

On to awards I know nothing about! The Television Critics Association, appears to have been giving awards for the last 20 years! I saw on Office Tally that the Office had been nominated amongst others, but what really caught my eye was the category of Individual Achievement in Comedy. The nominees are Steve Carell ("The Office"), Stephen Colbert ("The Colbert Report"), Lauren Graham ("Gilmore Girls"), Jason Lee ("My Name Is Earl"), and Jon Stewart (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"). Wow, this is like Sophie's Choice but four ways. ;) I could never pick who of Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart or Lauren Graham should win! So Gilmore Girls was not very good this year, but Lauren Graham has been recognized so little for her amazing acting on that show that she deserve to win for the whole run. The Colbert Report and The Office have both been so so so good. This is one tough category.

Jon, Steve, and Stephen were always so good, even together way back when:
