What Is It about THIS Particular Story?

Okay, last summer and during the early part of the TV season, I caught up on The Office, the American version. It was impossible not to get immediately attached to everything about it. The dry humor; the incredible nuances (blink and you might miss something); the boss that makes you squirm it's so uncomfortable and yet has a brain and a heart

I was thinking about you as I wrote this because I remembered you saying that you'd tried to watch the British version and just couldn't get through it. To be honest, I had trouble too. David Brent is really awful. And the real problem with him is that there are NO redeeming qualities. Unlike Michael Scott. He's just an asshole.

But okay, please finish because I really want there to be someone here who can relate to a random love for Dawn/Tim and that amazing scene they get at the end. The kiss with Tim's hand on the side of her cheek is so sweet. It was just that perfect moment. The song that plays is good, and it's cool how everyone is watching because they all just know. They've been waiting for it as long as Dawn/Time have. Really, I got kind of into it at the end and as I was watching knowing there had to be a resolution coming, I got really into it. So give it a try. They're great. I now think I've got to buy the set just for the Dawn/Tim.

OMG, I can't believe you don't know the Pride and Prejudice story. It's the best love story ever IMO. Emma is certainly good, but it's my third favorite, behind P&P and Persuasion. You need to read P&P, you really, really do. It doesn't take long to get into her style of writing, and the story is SO GOOD. Plus, don't you have a reading mission this year? ;) Then you know what you should do, is come here to visit me and we will watch this BBC version that is over 5 hours long. LOL Go get P&P, seriously. I'm also going to do a post on it coming shortly because I'm totally obsessed right now, so maybe that will further convince you.

Yeah, this job thing sucks, and I know you can relate. It's better than it was last year, though, because I was starting from scratch. Now, even though I hate my job and it's torturous just going every day, I've got a schedule and something that is at least productive and brings home a pay check. It makes the job hunt slightly less demanding and frantic. But if I don't find something soon, I'm just going to make a total change regardless. If only I was independently wealthy and then I would just bring together all the writers and creative types I know (that would be you) and collaborate and work together and start our own business. I just imagine what all of our minds together could produce.
