Throwback Thursday: Rewatching The Office

Going to take a break from my regularly Scheduled Scribbles About Music Throwback to bring you this! I'm re-watching the Office and it might be even better than the first time I watched it, to be honest!

I have The Office on DVD... and I have a DVD player... so I don't really know why I decided to watch it on Netflix... but I did and I'm loving it. If you liked The Office watching it the first time around... you might like it even better watching it a second time. Its still exciting to me to see Jim and Pam becoming a couple and Dwight and Angela and I'm almost at the point where Michael and Jan get together... it just didn't get any less exciting even though I already know what happens.

I also didn't really appreciate the first season... I had only watched it once, I had maybe watched Diversity Day a second time... but for the most part I was just like "meh, not that interesting, I'll skip and watch season 2",,, but Season 1 of The Office is actually pretty fantastic. It sets up a lot of what happens in the next few seasons, even just in the first episode. They already establish that the company can't keep both the Scranton and Stamford branches open and its not looking too good for Dunder Mifflin Scranton... it sets up a lot.

The last episode that I watched was The Fight in Season 2... so I think I'll do a little Top 5 so far, in no particular order.

1) The Dundies 2) Sexual Harassment 3) Diversity Day 4) Hot Girl 5) Office Olympics. We all know the best episodes haven't even happened for me yet (The Injury) but these are some really really good ones.

I love the way that Jim and Pam are shown before they get together too. You think that they're a couple in the first episode or that they're going to get together... but then you meet Pam's fiancé Roy. And you see that The Office is really what was sort of getting them together. And they want to get together on the weekends and stuff but they can't. Its just very well done, and I can see why so many people love the show and really wanted them to get together... I know I did! Lol.

And looking back on it... all the other relationships were done well too. I remember when Andy and Erin were getting together and they were like "ohhh no. It's just another Jim and Pam" and then it wasn't!  And I'm sure they brought Holly on knowing that Steve Carell might leave before the show ended and that was a nice way to get him out of the show. Its just little things like that that I'm sure the writers were mindful of.

Ohhh and Jan and Michael... I thought that was done really well to. Just very funny! I love that Jan was the crazy one...

And all of Michael's bad jokes...  just so funny. And how nervous he was that people would stop liking him. Just a great show with really funny jokes!

Alright... that is everything! I hope you guys liked this if you're fans of The Office, or if you're thinking of rewatching it. I haven't seen every episode still, believe it or not! There are a few episodes I still need to watch in the last few seasons (after it had kinda jumped the shark to be honest.) But I don't think it'll be bad. Its still just a funny show and I like watching it over and over again.

I'm gonna go watch it now... lol.

Bye!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
