- Opening the refrigerator and finding a couple of magnetic alphabet letters on the shelf next to the cheese. Then opening the cupboard and finding a couple of magnetic alphabet letters next to the tupperware. Then opening the drawer and finding a couple of magnetic alphabet letters next to the aluminum foil and the baggies. It's like he's squirreling them away for winter or something.
- People who still refer to all computers as being either 'apple' or 'IBM'. So old school. So best.
- That new show The Office over on NBC. It has single handedly reassured me that television writers are still capable of creating stuff that is genuinely funny and off-beat and non-formulaic. Or maybe they stole the whole idea from the BBC, who knows. It's too bad they only made like six episodes and they've all already been aired. Way to give it time to develop a following, network doofs.
- I've also been getting a few yucks by switching my IM client to fixedsys font and talking like a robot. Am I the only one who finds that amusing? Perhaps.
Elisa thought:
The BBC version of The Office is much, much funnier. I highly recommend putting it on the 'ole Netflix's list.
dave thought:
i assume by "much, much funnier" you mean "inherently hipper because it's not the american version". or maybe you mean "funnier in the same way that 90210 is way better than the O.C." in which case you would be making a pretty mint analogy.
i've seen the bbc version a few times. it's good, too.
