Awww, thanks you guys!
Thursday, June 21st, 2007 | 57 commentsThanks so much to each and every one of you for the birthday wishes today — my MySpace inbox runneth over. :)
As today is a school night, there probably won’t be any major celebrating until the weekend. But how great is it that I get to watch an Office marathon and then top the evening off with John Krasinski on Conan? Now that’s a birthday gift. ;)
Thanks again, you guys are the best!

Ken Kwapis interview
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007 | 6 commentsMoviesOnline Canada spoke to Ken Kwapis, director of License to Wed. Ken is also a director and co-executive producer of The Office, and mentioned our favorite show several times in the interview, including a cute story about Jenna Fischer’s audition for Pam:
[Jenna] said to the casting director, “I’m so desperate to get this part. What do I need to do when I go in there and meet the director?” And the casting director said, “Just go in there and bore them.” And I thought that was the most brilliant advice because that’s the style of the show — people who kind of disappear under the woodwork. She came in to audition and just sat in the corner for awhile and I remember literally someone came up to me and said, “I think that woman is under the misperception that she’s here for a receptionist’s job.”
