procrastination & the office

i’m not sure what’s up. i’m procrastinating something fierce, even more than normal. i’ve got three things to do before i fly down to lost angels to get hmc this weekend: 1. pack 2. clean the house & the fridge 3. create slides for the presentation i need to give next week.

i’ve been putting all of these off for a week. and here it is, a couple hours before i need to go to the airport, and i’ve only got one of them done.

(feel free to note that this very act of blogging is another form of procrastination.)

what have i been doing instead?

it seems that i’ve been downloading and watching every episode of the u.s. version of the office.

which it turns out isn’t that bad. i tried to watch it when it first came out, but the first episode was almost identical to the uk version in every way, that i had a hard time seeing why i should even bother. had i done so, i would have seen that every episode after that is actually different, and thus doesn’t feel like a rip-off but is actually pretty cute and has a similar sensibility. now with the second season, the boss character is a little more human and less of a ‘bad boss’ caricature, so it’s even better.

what does this have to do with anything? i dunno. little bits of humor leading to an inevitable sunday night where i’m furiously putting together slides. ugh.
