Ain't No Party Like A Scranton Party, 'Cause A Scranton Party Gets Really Self-Aware A Few Years In
This week's edition of Remotely Controlled in the Willamette Week is all about "The Office." Eat it up. Also, it was written as a bullet-point column, like my take on "Pushing Daisies," but for some reasons the bullets aren't showing up online. That's why the flow between the paragraphs is a little choppy; it's meant to be, only without the bullets, it's impossible to know this. Anyway, that's the story.

You're for sure right. I was so relieved to see Michael win one, it was getting really depressing.
You know what I would've like to have seen before Jim and Pam getting together was Demitri Martin as Jim's nemesis. He's young, and good looking and funny in the same way. Like what if Demitri had been at Pam's art show?
I feel like Jim is a wuss (how many times has he been backed down by different guys on the show) and he has no competition for the cool guy.
Maybe that would knock some of his smugness down. Or another Amy Adams or Rashida.
But maybe that's what would happen in a small office setting. Maybe they would get cocky?
I just spent more time writing about the Office than I've spent doing reading for my Evidence class.
Great column. Exactly how I was feeling about the hour long episodes. I also noticed that since Jim and Pam have gotten together, they've sort of teamed up to snicker at the rest of the office as if to say "god damn, we're so much more attractive and charming and qualified than these people"
