Monday, April 30th, 2007

We’ve entered into Dwight/ Jim territory here.If you’re not a watcher of The Office, first of all, why the hell not? And second, click over to Netflix and add it to your queue, then Tivo it on Thursdays (there’s only 3 episodes left of this season). Anyway, I digress. What I mean by my [...]
