   Look at John K. in that season 2 box cover… he’s a zombie.

   That’s not Jim!

   That episode with Jenna of Undeclared aired here last week… she’s also in another one, No. 4 I think.

   I haven’t watched Undeclared in such long time, but I could quote Jenna’s line, and I didn’t even realize it was her until now!

   While it’s cool NBC shows may come back to iTunes, it’s so sad there’s barely any episodes to add…

   I’ve almost forgotten how it feels to watch a new episode. I’m afraid I may burst (likely into tears) when the headline “STRIKE OVER!” is posted on OT!

   Hey, how come they removed Ryan from the cover for the UK dvd? Maybe that’s why Jim looks a little weird. Ryan used to be next to him.

   I sat through “Smiley Face” last night…and yikes, it took a lot of effort. It was unbearably bad, but…it does have John Krasinski in the shower..so..yep

   Luckily, that new Mendes movie looks far more promising!

   Hahahaha, thanks for the articles on BJ.

   That ‘Wikepdia Brown’ joke mentioned really had me laughing. SO TRUE.

   I really want to go to one of his shows.

    I went to the BJ Novak show at Northeastern. (I’m a sophomore there). It was awesome… the articles describe it perfectly. He did a meet and greet afterwards and I met, got a picture, and got him to sign my ticket stub. He was really funny and really cool.

    I love this quote from Melora!

    “I have a beauty supply store in my bathroom. I have so many face products and body lotions — I’m just a slut for all that stuff.”

    I love Undeclared, but I only ever saw it after The Office started, so everytime I see that and the other episode, it’s all I can focus on.
