Rainn’s visit to Scranton

Sunday, December 17th, 2006 | 11 comments

Here are a few stories on Rainn Wilson’s visit to Scranton’s The Mall at Steamtown today:

• Article and video, Times-Tribune: City lets its affection RAINN

An excerpt from the article:

Instead of a key to the city, which Mr. Wilson jokingly requested, Mr. Doherty offered his office key as a concession. Mr. Wilson happily took it, then replied, “I’ll need your pin, the password for your computer and your social security number.”

Scranton resident Brian Martin nearly stole Mr. Wilson’s thunder when he proposed to his girlfriend and fellow “Office” fanatic, Jodi Kahanowitz. When Ms. Kahanowitz accepted, Mr. Wilson grabbed her and pretended to make out with her. Then, for full comic effect, he did the same to Mr. Martin.

Here are a couple of new “Just for Fun” Office activities at NBC.com:

Go to Holiday Office Tour

(I could navigate through the rooms just fine, but when I clicked on any of the objects, nothing would happen. I am using Firefox on a Mac. If you have hints on how to make it work, please post a comment!)

Pop Candy chats with Rainn Wilson

Saturday, December 16th, 2006 | Add a comment

Whitney Matheson of USA Today’s Pop Candy column talks briefly to Rainn Wilson about Grey’s Anatomy, Dwangela, and plans for the new year.

An excerpt:

And what’s on Dwight’s computer screen between takes?

They always get mad at us because they shoot and a lot of us have websites up that they don’t have clearance for. … So it’s a delicate balancing act. A lot of times I’m writing Dwight’s blog that I do for NBC.com. We’re all instant-messenger-ing each other as well. I’ll try and instant-messenger someone right at the time when they’re shooting a scene (to) try and make them laugh. It never works.

Warning: potential site wonkiness

Thursday, December 14th, 2006 | Comments Off

Just wanted to warn y’all that you may experience some problems accessing OfficeTally tomorrow and during the weekend. To make things worse, I’m not going to be around much this weekend to watch over the site.

Ugh. Sorry for this situation and I hope I can make things better when I return from the weekend.

Remember that if the site is down, I will use my MySpace to communicate status. Thanks!

Can Roy win back Pam?

Thursday, December 14th, 2006 | 17 comments

TV Guide talks to David Denman (”Roy”) about how his character has developed this season, and what’s in store for the Roy-Pam-Jim love triangle.

An excerpt:

TVGuide.com: Is it just my perception, or did you go through a big physical change to become the new Roy?

Denman: I definitely did! I lost something like 30 or 40 pounds. I started training for triathlons.

TVGuide.com: Which came first, that you were supposed to lose weight for the character, or that you were training?

Denman: It was never said, “You should lose some weight.” But Greg said, “I want to make you more of a viable option.” I said, “That’s great, because I was actually planning to get back in [shape] and start working out.” I’d kinda turned into a little bit of a couch potato. And then one of the camera operators on the show, Matt Sohn, who has done a bunch of triathlons, was trying to get us to go do this Malibu triathlon, and I said, “Yeah, I’ll do it.” I started on this training schedule for about eight weeks. I had so much fun, I did another one, like, a month later.

There is no denying that Roy is looking fine this season …

SPOILER WARNING! The article contains spoilers about tonight’s episode, ‘A Benihana Christmas.’
