The Office is Back, With Lip Dubs and Nepotism

First things first. I have no idea what the opening scene of last night’s The Office was about, but it was amazing. It was a great way to start Steve Carell’s (and maybe Mindy Kaling’s!) last season. Tear. But can I just say I think Darryl should be the new manager. There. I said it. He’s hilarious.

Here’s a rundown: Michael got West Nile Virus and hired his nephew; Erin and Gabe (not Andy!) are dating; Kelly did the minority executive program; Dwight bought the building and Jim is trying to torture him by saying that raccoons are in the ceiling; Pam makes all the buttons in the elevator do the opposite of what they say; Pam gets stuck in the elevator with Dwight; Ryan is still promoting his social-networking website and wearing black-rimmed glasses; Luke calls Phyllis Venus; Pam’s hair is straight and looks so much better!

Awful Library Books – My New Favorite Website

Always read the subhead.

There’s a new highly-specific blog in town and it’s called Awful Library Books, where two public librarians from Michigan go through the stacks to find the worst titles/covers/general content they can in an effort to showcase some cool books that may have been overlooked, or simply force public libraries to be more current.

My favorite book this week: Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean (subhead: How a Generation of Swashbuckling Jews Carved Out an Empire in the New World in their Quest for Treasure, Religious Freedom and Revenge). OhmygodIloveitsomuch.

Join forces and submit books to the site at submit@awfullibrarybooks.net.
