How cute is Miss Jenna in Cat Fancy?  Damn, cute, sir!

I'm kind of obsessed with Booze Cruise lately.  My sister is coming for a visit this weekend, and she's never seen The Office.

Wha..?  

I know, right?  How can she possibly be my sister.

So I'm going to be giving her the quickie survey course in The Office, and this is my list of must-see episodes (so far):

Diversity Day
The Dundies
Booze Cruise
The Secret
Michael's Birthday
Drug Testing
Casino Night

Gay Witch Hunt
Initiation
The Merger
Behihana Christmas

Do I dare screen Phyllis's Wedding?  I haven't watched it since it aired. I'll have to think about that.    

Then I'm kind of stuck.  I want to get the flavor of Jim and Pam estrangement, but not really wallow in it.  I do know that I want to be sure to screen Beach Games and The Job, because they're just made of win.

Suggestions welcome.

Miss you, kiddo. Miss you, so much!

You may have noticed that I'm kind of in a montage mode. I gotta do something with the screencaps I make, I suppose. This one's late though, so my apologies. It's been sitting on my hard drive since last Friday.

Note: I did take a slight bit of artistic license with the order and context of the caps because sometimes the show doesn't exactly follow the lovey-dovey narrative I crave what I'd like to see in the storyline.   Plus, I just like putting tiny hearts on things.  Seriously.  Heh.

No hotlinking please, yadda, yadda... you know the drill.  :-) 


ETA: fixed borked link.  Thanks, surgingshark!

Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too.

Sample: 


Oh, Miss Beesly are you ever coming home?   Is she working on a certificate program or a Masters, for crissakes. 
I guess on the show it's still summertime.  I feel more like drinking hot chocolate than lemonade.  Dunder Mifflin time is different than earth time, I guess. Just saying.

So anyway... Jim and Pam are still adorable, together, or individually.   I made a little montage of the pictures from the voicemail scene.  Even when they are not on screen together, or even talking to each other in real time, they still have amazing chemistry.   I love them.

You know the drill.  No hotlinking, please.  Comments are nifty-gifties.

This wallpaper is made with pictures from the promo for this week's show.

Fair warning: If you consider promo pics to be spoilers, wait until after Thursday's show to click -- if not, come on in!

I've been working through some online tutorials to improve (hopefully!) my Photoshop/graphic design skills and this is a wallpaper that I worked on today. I learned a lot about using gradients.

If you leave a comment, then you are just the coolest person ever.

Lower res scans of these pics have been posted on other websites and communities. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to scans. I like 'em very high quality.  I scanned these pictures myself.  Here is a sample picture:

From time to time I make cartoons from screencaps.  Yes, I'm aware that is quite dorky, but as Darryl says,"I just can't help myself."


On the MTT Photoshop forum we started doing these crazy Officecatz that are inspired by the lolcats of icanhazcheezburger
People either really like those, or they really don't.  I happen to find the things hilarious, and so after the cut, I'll share some of mine.

 

Wow. That was some season premiere for The Office, huh?  I'm still on a sugar high from all the sweetness.   The photoshop thread at MTT is going bonkers with all the Fun Run inspired new fanart. 

I created a new wallpaper with the photo of Jim and Pam from the new Entertainment Weekly.  Don't even ask now long it took to mask out the magazine cover bits. I'm too ashamed to tell you.  (yes, I am a big dork)

Free to good homes, just no hotlinking please.   Comments are appreciated.

I've gotten quite a few questions on how I put this together, so when I get a chance I'll try to put a quickie tutorial together. It's really easy.  Just a gradient with some vector brushes.  Oh, and those adorkable sweethearts.

Oh, if you knew the trouble I had posting these wallpapers. Guh. LJ hates me. Okay, I'm going to try this one more time, and if my cut doesn't work, I'm outta here.

Big ups to cool ass folks at the MTT Forums for helping me through this.

Sample:



All the wallpapers are 1024x768. If you need a different size, or want a color you don't see here, hit me up in the comments and I'll see what I can do to accommodate you.

Did it work?

So over at the MTT forum, I was reading a topic someone started about how funny it would be to recast classic film and TV roles with Jim and Dwight. Some of the funnier suggestions were to have them to the "I'm a Mac/PC Mac commercials (how funny would that be?) Pretty damn funny, I'd say.

Another suggestion was to cast John as Han Solo. Hmm... Solo, yeah that would totally work. I needed a way to visualize that so after the cut, is my photoshopped Solo manip.

As I was saying before I got dragged off to Ocean's 13 (great movie, btw - way better than the last one) I'm going to park some of the Office stuff I've worked on.

Sample montage - they work pretty good as wallpaper too.

Okay, so if I'm going to use this journal to post stuff like icons I make and other assorted pursuits, I should get my ass in gear and actually start posting, eh?

Fine!

Open Source Baby - Pay it Forward

So if by any chance you see something on the journal and you like it - grab it, with my blessings. If you credit, that's cool, but if not, no worries.

It will make my day if you drop a comment off. Comments being love and all, but if you just want to shoplift the pootie, that's okay too.

Just have fun and be cool.

List of resources follows after the cut.  I will update this as I add resources.   Last update: 01/24/08

I'm just getting started at Livejournal.   So many good Office communities, so little time.   I think mostly I'm just observing, but I'd like to contribute when I can too.   So let's get started.

I posted some of this at the LITO forum, but it's some good information, so I thought I'd post it here as well.

It's so nice that the lucky bastards that got to go to the Paley event posted update for us poor knuckleheads who didn't get to go.  Enjoy these.

From the TWOP board: Blooper Spoiler (hightlight to read)**Last scene of Benihana Christmas when Jim agrees to go in on Pam's prank. It looked to be about the moment Jim and Pam share a smile, when Jenna says, "I love you," (claps from the audience) and John falls over as if he's just fainted.**
I hope that blooper makes it onto the S3 DVDs!
