Phyllis’ guided office tour
STLtoday has a sweet little descriptive tour of Dunder Mifflin, courtesy of Phyllis Lapin, bride-to-be:
Because she’s in on her day off, Phyllis sees what was supposed to be a surprise. The conference room is decorated for her bridal shower. Wedding bells hang from the ceiling, and letters spell out “Congratulations, Phyllis.”
“They used all my favorite colors,” she says of the pastel decorating scheme, including pink spoons. “You can see Angela’s touch here. Everything’s very straight.”

‘Blades of Glory’ coming soon
Jenna Fischer’s new film, Blades of Glory, is scheduled to premiere at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Wednesday, March 28 at 6:30pm. It’s in theaters on March 30.
Blades of Glory also stars Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, William Fichtner, and Craig T. Nelson.
Check out photos at the LiveJournal Office community (medium) and the morethanthat.net gallery (large).
Awhile back, Jenna wrote in her MySpace blog about working on the film:
Over the summer I worked on the comedy “Blades of Glory” with Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett and Romany Malco. On my first day of shooting I had to do a scene with Will Arnett and Amy Poehler (they are awesome). I don’t want to give away any jokes but basically I play their little sister and they are really mean to me throughout the movie. At the end of our first scene together the camera holds on my reaction and for the first 2 takes I looked into the camera.

TV Guide interviews Brian Baumgartner
From TV Guide:
TVGuide.com: Is there anything about [Kevin] that is like you?
Baumgartner: I do have a childlike enthusiasm at times. I certainly enjoy life and get pleasure sometimes in childish things. Other people have said that I am the [cast member] most unlike my character. I take that as a compliment, though I do really love the Kev. Not that we should study the series in a “dramaturgical” way, but if you look at it, nobody doesn’t like Kevin. He is the guy who is friendly with everyone. He has a casual, friendly fantasy football game with Jim, they certainly get along. He totally tolerates Dwight. He doesn’t dislike anyone — except Angela.
