April Eye Candy

a few months back, cypher & i grew closer thanks in part to the brilliant comedy show, the office. mostly, we bonded over our equal love of dwight schrute. at first glance, he's easy to dislike. severe hairstyle, distinctly unflattering eyewear, and most importantly, an incredibly abrasive personality. but as the series progressed, he became interesting and amusing followed by endearing with an occasional tender moment. he was very flawed and very human and once those characteristics were indentified, cyph & i fell hook, line and sinker.
rainn wilson plays him to perfection and that scene in the stairwell after he and angela broke up had me crying and hugging my freddie bear. you just know a performance is solid when you connect with a character so much so that to see them in that much pain actually causes your chest to ache.
thank god the writers strike is over b/c we can only go so long without our dwight k. schrute. i would also like to add that the number 5 on my speed dial is 1.800.984.3672. i call it whenever i'm stuck in traffic.


and here is rainn wilson out of character and just as sassy. y'know, there is something about a regular every day fella that just makes life that much sweeter...maybe it's their attainability or the sheer fact that you can grab a cup a coffee with them and gee, i dunno, actually have a decent conversation??? few things are as painful as sitting across from a man and faining interest whilst he yammers on and on about his recent hair care product purchases. puh-lease! give me a real man, or leave me with my ladies.
