  • An Office Halloween: I’ve posted a bunch of Office-inspired Halloween photos that people have sent in. Bask in the creativity!

The Saturday Tally

  • Blogs this week: Jenna’s MySpace blog, John the prop guy’s MySpace blog, Kate’s TV Guide blog.
  • Grief Counseling: quotes and blog/video/iTunes links have been added to the Grief Counseling episode post.
  • Jenna Fischer in Rolling Stone: steph313 at the LJ Office community has scanned Jenna’s Hot List from Rolling Stone magazine. (Warning: NSFW)
  • Jenna Fischer at AskMen.com: Recently featured as their “Actress of the Week,” AskMen.com has a nice Jenna Fischer section that includes photos, biography, quotes, and commentary.
  • A moment with Rainn Wilson: the Seattle Post Intelligencer talked to Rainn Wilson about Dwight Schrute’s background: “They (the writers) brought in this whole, like, heavy metal, Camaro, muscle car, hair-metal type of world of Dwight’s. He’s also a nerd, but also, really white trash.”
  • Sequel to Clips & Quips Office interview: Following up on the Clips & Quips deleted scene posted here a few days ago, I got a very nice email from the video creator, Boaz Frankel, who wrote “we’re in the early stages of planning another trip to LA to get behind the scenes at The Office … I’ll definitely keep you posted when our segment goes into production.”
  • “Reading Jenna Fischer” insider info: the creator of the hilarious Reading Jenna Fischer phone-isode posted a terrific ‘insider info’ comment about the video — thanks, Preston!
  • Lastly, a purse that lights up inside: “… when you open the Solas bag, it lights up. The inside of the bag is lined with long, thin light bulbs connected to a AA battery pack … Angela Kinsey from NBC’s ‘The Office’ even took her Solas clutch to the Emmy’s. And her show won an Emmy, maybe the bag was her lucky charm.” We need to ask Miss Angela about this!

Clips and Quips video: missing scene

clips and quips

If you are a long-time Office fan, you’ve already seen Boaz Frankel’s hilarious interview with Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, B.J. Novak, and Rainn Wilson.

But did you know there was a scene that was never aired? — Boaz tries out for the part of Phil, the intern. Talk about awkward pauses …

Watch the deleted scene here. (You’ll need to fast-forward through the Jordana Brewster interview.)

Thanks to Betsy for the tip!


Get a call from Dwight

Update: Looks like this feature is no longer available.

Check this out: you can have a recorded message from Dwight sent to any phone!

There’s a choice of five different messages: Truancy, Big Order, TP, Werewolf, and Resume.

The site doesn’t say when you’ll get the call, but the fun is in the anticipation, isn’t it? Me, I’m going to send Big Order to my manager’s phone. ;)

The secret code to unlock the DVD deleted scenes is: dwight rules

Thanks to psiqueue over at the LJ Office community for the tip!

Reading Jenna Fischer

In the September issue of Esquire magazine, Jenna Fischer wrote an article called Ten Things You Don’t Know About Women.

Here is a video, created by Preston Conner and shot entirely on a camera phone, of various Office staff members (including Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, B.J. Novak, Kate Flannery, Charles Esten, Ed Helms, John Sparano, and Dan Beals) reciting from the article.

Warning: Definitely NSFW! It’s pretty raunchy stuff …

Tipsters: LJ Office community, Reid.
