finished the second series of The Office last weekend. The Office is so painfully true to life that i’m not surprised at all it won all sorts of awards. it’s a comedy, but it’s also a bitter commentary on the the state of the typical 9-to-5 working individual. the plights of the characters on the show are so relatable that the program is occasionally difficult to watch. it’s final episode was definitely the best. during one of his interviews, tim (played by the dashing martin freeman) says something like “sometimes in life you roll a 3. you can roll again, and you might get a 6, but you might also get a 1.” and when tim finally does roll the dice, he fails and is left back where he started. this show made me so depressed. as i enter the working world, i hope i continue to roll the dice, failure or not. what’s great about this show vs. most other things on tv, is it details how life isn’t drama - there are rarely big breaks, most of us won’t like our jobs, and love isn’t all heated passion in the pouring rain.
right, so rent The Office. it’s fantastic.
can someone explain to me Liz Phair’s deal? i’m confused by her recent pop-ness. what happened to the ol’ “fuck and run”? i’ve never been a huge fan either way but i felt her older stuff filled a void. now she sounds like just another pop singer whining about the boy who won’t notice her. maybe the rest of her CD isn’t all average every day sane psycho. someone fill me in.
i’m finishing up my last CS project - sigh of relief. i am looking forward to the end of it all. two more exams and then, the rest of the world.
Maureen is in town on bidness and i was able to catch up with her last night at Trudy’s. apparently my garage apartment is bigger than the “shoebox” she lives in in Boston. shocking!
i’m feeling the way i usually do when i know the day ahead of me will consist of a boring class, an even more boring lab, and an evening spent debugging: extremely lethargic.
coffee.
