Life In The Office

I was watching Gay Witch Hunt tonight, as many of you were I’m sure. Well, after the episode, they showed a promo for next week’s episode, Diwali. They showed Pam, Roy, Jim, Angela and Ryan and said, “And one of these people will be proposed to next week.” (Or something like that.)

My guess is Ryan since a) that would cause the least ripples and b) Kelly is crazy. I’m thinking Kelly and her family think it is way more serious that it obviously is. They probably take the Diwali as an opportunity into invite Ryan to the family. It’s going to be awkward.

Although, I think this is most likely in my mind. But, it sure is fun to imagine what would happen if Dwight got down on one knee.

Any other guesses?

Update: The video is now on youtube so I’ll post it below. Also, I didn’t see Carol the first time, but she is in the same shot as Ryan.

I’ve seen this question asked a few times in the comments:

“Do you know what song….”

If you’ve ever asked that question, you’ll want to bookmark this wikipedia page. It’s updated after each episode with the songs.

LITO reader Ismat just left a comment on of the other posts pointing toward the website for Nirali Magazine. “Nirali Magazine reflects the identity and interests of South Asian women all over North America.” It seems they are pretty excited about Mindy Kaling (Kelly’s) role in the upcoming Diwali episode.

The reason I’m posting this is because they have a post that contains great little song that Michael Scott will be singing on the episode. It’s a remake of Adam Sandler’s famous “Hanukkah song”, but Diwali-ized.

Thanks for the cool tip Ismat!

I’m a big fan of NPR. Usually when I’m jogging, I am listening to one of the NPR podcasts off of iTunes. You can imagine how excited I was to hear an NPR podcast about The Office and how it resembles real business.

The podcast is interesting, if a little too serious. It’s about five minutes long. He does interview a business professor who will be using example clips from The Office to teach her students. How fun would it be to attend that class?

My one complant about the podcast is they stop the Jim/Dwight audio clip a little too soon. I love that next line.
