Today’s forecast: still Rainning

Friday, July 21st, 2006 | 6 comments

Here are a couple of new articles on Rainn Wilson:

Employee of the Year, Maxim

An excerpt:

One of the biggest differences between the U.K. and U.S. versions of The Office is that you have a love interest, Angela. What makes their relationship work?

They’re both kinky. When they’re not at work, I think Dwight wears his grandfather’s Nazi uniform and they play, like, Nazi and Fräulein games. With a riding crop.

Read the full article here. Thanks to Sean for the scoop!

Celebrity Q&A, People

An excerpt:

Speaking of your bobblehead, I read that 14,000 of them have been sold. Care to guess what people are doing with theirs?

I think they are often used as sex toys — that’s what I hear, and I’m alright with that.

Read the full article here. Thanks to Jill for the heads-up!

Hmmm, I’m sensing a common thread here … ;)

And did y’all catch Rainn on Leno last night, in complete Miami Vice pastel garb and stubble?

The Thursday Tally

Geez, disappear for a coupla days, and I end up with a severe case of ONB — Office News Buildup. ;)

• Webisode #3 (”Meredith”) of The Accountants is playing at NBC.com.
• Also at NBC.com, vote for your favorite Office episode!
• New blogs have been posted by Kevin, Brian, and Dwight.
• Jenna and seven other ladies appear in the August “naked issue” of Jane Magazine, auctioning off their clothes for ClothesOffOurBack.com. Read more about it here; bid for Jenna’s dress (a size 2!) here. Thanks to Brian for being the first to send me this tip!
• The Office gang goes back to work this coming Monday, July 24, pushed out from the original date of July 18th; Angela emailed me to confirm this. (Thanks, Angela!)
• Tonight’s episode is a rerun of The Carpet. Oh poo.

Man, has it been a long few days

Thursday, July 20th, 2006 | 9 comments

First, I profusely apologize for OfficeTally being offline and wonky these past few days. Believe me, no one’s been more stressed about it than me!

Second, thanks for all the kind notes of support and panic (”what the heck is going on with OT, I need my fix?!”) — it made me feel loved. :)

Third, OT problems may not be quite over; in case the site disappears again, please bookmark my MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/tansterina, as I will post updates there until OT comes back up.

Okay, what did I miss?

Welcome back, Dunder Mifflinites!

On behalf of Office fanatics everywhere, we’d like to say:

WELCOME BACK! :)

Rainn, Rainn everywhere

• A few OT readers wrote in about Rainn Wilson’s appearance on the ESPYs last night. Lauren wrote, “Rainn Wilson had a fairly big role on the ESPY awards tonight as Lance Armstrong’s ‘assistant’.” Barry wrote, “He did a pretty long schtick with Lance Armstrong, acting as his PA, even painting his nails. It even had Rainn taking his shirt off and dancing. Talk about a sight for sore eyes.” If you guys have a video link, let me know!
• LJ Office also reports that Rainn appears in a short 1-800-TBS Funny spot for ‘My Super Ex-Girlfriend’ — watch it here. (Sorry, PCs only.)
• Finally, don’t forget that Rainn appears on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ tonight! See the calendar for a full list of events.

Rainn Wilson on the ESPY Awards

Sunday, July 16th, 2006 | 1 comment

In a short segment on the ESPYs, Rainn plays Lance Armstrong’s assistant, Kip Pringle.

My favorite quotes:

Lance: You have to respect a guy that’s willing to do anything. Well, maybe not respect.

Kip: He may only have one ball, but his one ball has more fire power than both of mine. (Sighs) I wish I had one ball.

Watch the video here. (Thanks, Nathan!)

Rainn Wilson on Loveline

Sunday, July 16th, 2006 | 2 comments

Rainn talks a little about his audition for Michael Scott (!), and how his scene with Jenna (hitting on Pam while telling her about his National Guard ex-girlfriend stationed in Kuwait City) might have gotten him the role of Dwight.

Listen to Rainn Wilson on Loveline. (Caution: NSFW)
