The Office halts production and goes on strike...

Television writers are currently on stike in Los Angelos and have been for the three days. The reasoning for the strike is that these writers want to be paid for DVD sales and internet downloads. I am saddened to report that The Office has halted production. It's pretty upsetting to think that for a while each Thursday will come and go without a new The Office episode to watch. What am I going to do?...Watch my three seasons of DVDs? psh. No, I need some new material. (But I really will just watch my DVDs...that these people aren't getting paid for...).
Despite how much this might frustrate me and other TV viewers that just want to watch a new episode of their favorite show, these writers should get paid for the DVD sales and internet downloads. I'm surprised that they don't. Here, watch this video on the post below this one that the writers for The Office shot while on the picket line:

The Office is Closed

Utica, Utica, Utica on The Office!!

This week on The Office, Michael and Dwight decide to trick Jim into going a road trip to the Utica branch of Dunder Mifflin to pull a prank. Now, this may seem of little significance, but to my family it is way cool. See, Utica is the homeland of some of my fam and the alma mater of my mom! So that was very cool, even if didn't even film it there.

I think Ugly Betty is one of the best shows on television. What I want to know is if there is an office anywhere that actually looks like Mode. For example the huge tunnel hallways that branch off of the circle room where Amanda works at the front desk. If I ever achieve a Mead level position at a magazine I think I'll make my office like that...

I bought the new Carrie Underwood CD "Carnival Ride" on iTunes last weekend. The upbeat songs are really catchy. They have a more country feel to them as opposed to her last album, on which the songs were a bit more pop/country. While the upbeat songs are fun, the slow songs drag and I find myself switching to the next song halfway through them. Overall it's a good album and I'd definately recommend it.

If you want the best dinner ever go to Fagaen's on Marshall St. and order a chicken pot pie. The chicken and veges are inside a mashed potato "pie crust". It is amazing! And if you want Chicken Salad, I would steer clear of Aladdins...

Happy Daylight Savings!
