Time well spent.
Things I was doing this week when I could've been updating my blog:
- Using speed dial to cast a hundred votes for Anthony Federov, the American Idol contestant with the tracheotomy scar (called "the boy with the hole" by my nieces and nephews)
- Taking Toll House Cookies out of the oven too early, almost puking after eating a half dozen of them
- Filling out the application to be the next Pope
- Wondering where the hell all my money goes
- Getting burnt around my horn incision because I wasn't liberal enough with the sunscreen
- Searching the web to learn exactly what was heard from the airplane radio on last week's episode of Lost
- Peeing in people's flickr pools
- Catching up on my comic book reading
- Playing soccer. Wheezing and panting. Playing more soccer.
- Finally bonding with the new kid
- Reading the blogs of better writers
- Doing it and doing it and doing it right
- Calling the hospital to try and find out what they did with the mass they removed from my head
- Watching the American version of The Office. Wishing it was the British version.
- Wondering why Grape Ape--an animal, himself--had a beagle (another animal) as his owner.
- Fighting to stay awake...

Is the NEW Office any good? I just imagine it to be total shit.
It's average, at best. It's not as bad as the American version of Coupling was, but the characters pale in comparison to their Brit counterparts. The only one who's even remotely close to the original is Steve Carell as the head honcho ("Michael Scott" here, instead of "David Brent").
The worst part of it is "Dwight", the American Gareth. Gareth was somehow bumbling and loveable, Dwight is just creepy and unfunny. They also make all the jokes much more obvious in the American version, adding tidy endings to the situations and explaining things too much (for the dumb US audiences, I guess).
I would predict cancellation, but there's such a dearth of sitcoms right now that they'd have nothing to replace it with.
