Apologies for the lack of post the last couple of months. Having an awful time and I’m trying to get things in order. But I’m back now and will be updating again.

So, how have you been doing?

NPR has a feature on the very talented Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly in The Office. The actress, writer and producer talks about her work and growing up as an Indian immigrant in America.

The lovely Rashida Jones, now starring in Parks and Recreation, was on the Craig Ferguson show last night. Here’s the video:

Here’s an interesting video as Entertainment Tonight goes behind the scenes with the cast and crew of The Office

I was off blogging for almost two weeks. Actually, this was my longest blogging break ever. During this time though, I was able to see a few flicks with some of The Office stars in it.

I saw Craig Robinson (Darryl) in his co-starring role on Zack and Miri Does Porno. Most of the movies I’ve seen with him had him on screen for about a minute or less. In Zack and Miri, he played an actual character very important to the story. Acting against the film’s star, Seth Rogen, their chemistry and comedic synchronicity was so fun to watch. Craig Robinson has a lot going for him, the man is funny. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is starring in his own movies soon.

I also watched Ricky Gervais Ghost Town, which he stars with Tea Leoni and Greg Kinnear. There is no “hilarious” Gervais here and the story is actually very predictable. The plot is something you’ve probably seen in older flicks. But watching the movie was still pleasant, a good way to spend the holidays relaxing. Ghost Town is an okay movie for Gervais to shine and showcase his performance. He played socially inadequate dentist who is annoyed by ghosts he sees.

Lastly, I caught one of John Krasinki’s older films on cable TV last night, License To Wed. Some of his Office co-stars were also in it, so that made watching it worthwhile (even if they appeared for short periods only). As a typical romantic comedy flick, this one passes the bar. What makes it doubly interesting is the character of Robin Williams, who is so seriously deranged, haha!

So, this is how I spent the holidays…what about you?

I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Regular posting will resume this Monday.

Thanks for continuing to visit this site.

Watching The Office is taking a short hiatus… I’m actually off to spend the holidays somewhere else, with friends and family. See you back in the new year!
