- OfficeTally update: sorry for the delay in getting the Weekend Tally out this week! I sadly had hardware failures on multiple computers this weekend. Anyway, it’s going to be a fun week ahead — Aaron Shure’s working on the ‘Two Weeks’ Q&A, I’m picking the 20 finalists of The Office Peeps Contest, and … I’m going to be in L.A. on Friday — can you guess for what? (No, it’s not an Office set visit.)
Tipsters: Red, Pete, Meg, Nick, theofficeislove
This Weekend Tally is awesome! The movie “Year One” looks hysterical, and I loved Rainn Wilson’s 25 Facts.
That cake is amazing! I’m so jealous!! :)
Shut The Front Door!
An Office/Clue board game??? – my worlds are colliding, my two favourite things mashed together in a wonderful game, gah this makes me so happy :)
Are you going to a set visit of Parks and Recs? Are you also going to be creating a Parks and Recs Tally?
With syndication deals like that, this show isn’t going anywhere for a very long time.
#5, lemoñadé —
Oh goodness. I only have enough energy for one Tally. :)
oh my god that cake is amazing. that’s one lucky birthday girl!
WooHoo! I scored 35 on the new quiz!
Thanks for all the great tidbits! I am hoping you are going to LA because you’re going to be in an episode of The Office! (Oh, but reading further, since you’ve said you’re not going to be on the Office set, then enjoy the warm sunshine!)
Hey Tanster I’m excited you used my B.S. Report tip! I can always count on the tally to provide all the info on The Office!
Oh..my..goodness! Whoever made that cake needs to become my friend on my birthday!! Oh my…I don’t know if I could ever cut into it.
Wowza tanster, 1st Vanity Fair & now Parade – you’re a celebrity! ;)
I didn’t know Ed Helms & John Krasinski were also in Monsters vs. Aliens; I just thought it was Rainn Wilson. Now I really gotta see it :)
John K. is yummy, but a John K. cake? That’s what I call “double yummy”, my friends. Well, as long as it’s chocolate.
There was also a great interview on Fresh Air with Idris Elba, he talks about playing Charles Minor after being on The Wire.
Ohhhhhh I am so disappointed! I was in Vegas last weekend too- running into Jenna and her party would have made my trip even better :)
Wow, I hadn’t even thought about that Kate Winslet line in Extras in relation to her Emmy win for The Reader. That is all kinds of win.
I tried taking the Office Quiz..but for some reason won’t let me go past question 5.
Senseo… hmmm I’m a Keurig fan, but I could use a coffee machine in my office too.
Oh man, Mike Schur. Is he ever going to go back to work on The Office? :(
Is there anything important going on in LA on Friday that we should know about? I’ve searched the site and looked at the calender and nothing is listed. I’m so very curious. Tell us, tanster!
I hope Jenna took the wrapper off the cupcake/cookie before eating. I don’t think it would taste as good.
Jenna looked great in that outfit. The combination of black pants and the sparkly top is perfect. Win-win-win look in my book.
That Away We Go poster is terrific. It looks like a total departure for Sam Mendes who is 4 for 4 in my book.
phyllis*farm,
Kate won an Oscar for The Reader, not an Emmy. She should have won for Revolutionary Road though.
