Addictions.

Quick post to kill time and pause from my current addiction.

Today at work I asked Dustin for a dollar. Dustin refused, claiming that I only wanted the dollar to buy a Mountain Dew. I said yes, but it was my business to decide what I wanted to drink. He said he refused to feed my caffeine addiction. I told him I wasn't addicted, since I hadn't had caffeine in quite a few days, I just happened to want a Mountain Dew that day. Our boss overheard the conversation and loaned me a dollar. The Mountain Dew was amazing. It's possibl one of the tastiest, though most caffeinated sodas.

I'm not addicted to Mountain Dew right now. I am addicted to The Office at this moment. See, ever so often when there's not much else going on in my life, I'll discover a book series or a television show or an online comic and become obsessed with reading or watching whatever it is I've found. This has happened with XKCD, House, The Office (prior to this time,) Scrubs, Chronicles of Narnia, the LOTR books, and probably other things that I can't remember right now. Eventually I'm going to watch through all of LOST again, but I haven't had the energy yet. However, recently I decided to watch all of The Office again, on the basis of it being probably one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen and because I had nothing else really going on at the time and spent a good amount of time in my room trying to find things to do. Watching The Office isn't particularly productive, but it is funny and time-consuming. I'm halfway through season four in less than a week. One of the reasons I don't blog so often anymore is becuase my life consists of going to work, coming home, and watching an entire television series in the course of a week, which gives me little to write about and little time in which to write what little happens.

Dustin also loves The Office. He and I actually started each other on watching it. We'd both seen a few episodes and thought it was okay, so for Christmas I bought him season three (they were sold out of season one.) We both watched it nonstop, and have been hooked ever since. We sometimes just talk about the show at work, reminding each other of hilarious moments or great episodes. There was once a camping trip where Dustin, Kailey and I sat around the fire and talked about The Office for about four hours. It's a great show for conversation if you know someone else that loves the show. "What's that one line Michael said to Toby? 'I hate...so much... about the things you choose to be...' That was a great line!" Or, "I think the Rabies episode was possibly the best episode ever." The list of conversation material inspired by The Office is endless.

Back in Tallahassee, we would always watch the new episodes in my dorm. Daniel, Leah, and I were always there, including occasionally the other Daniel, Mary, David, or someone else.

Moral of the story: watch The Office. You won't be disappointed.
