Mindy Ephron (Kelly Kapoor) is not only an actor but one of the shows writers and producers. She has a great blog that I love to read. I feel like I get a small taste of what the good life is… 
Anyways, you may have already seen the video that we posted on the writers dealing with the strike. Mindy has written an article for her blog explaining her stance.
Anyway, I’ve hesitated writing about the strike, because while I believe passionately that we striking for a good reason, I didn’t want to incur the contempt of non-writers or fans of the show.
Why? It’s simple. I may be the single worst person on this planet who could speak out for the writers plight, because: 1) I am an adult who is lucky enough to have enough disposable income that I literally have a website talking about how I fritter away money on stupid shit. I’m doing fine. and 2) I’m a comedy writer, not a politician or even a person known to make persuasive arguments. I’ve solved most of my conflicts by crying or threatening to kill myself. Opponents of the strike could point to this URL as the reason why writers are the worst form of overpaid greedbags, the way al Qaeda shows “The Anna Nicole Show” to recruit people to suicide bomb Western places.

Check out the Dan In Real Life trailer here. Thanks to thndrjames for the tip! Steve’s new movie will be out in October 2007-I had no idea it was coming out that soon! I’m excited 
I also need to say, I got one of my roommates hooked on “The Office” and it’s such a satisfying feeling to sit here in the living room and hear voices wafting in from her room…”from himself. From the future.”
I also wanted to let you all know that I’m not going to be writing for LITO much longer. I’m a brand-new special education teacher, and as much as I love LITO, I need to focus my time and energy on my students and my class right now. I’d like to thank everyone for being so incredibly awesome (”Office” fans are seriously the best!) and helping me out so much. I’m sorry I’m not going to stick around longer, but I’m very excited for the future of LITO - a podcast in the near future (hopefully–still taking volunteers, especially if you are able to record and/or edit the podcasting festivities), and Office PsychProfiles, which we’ll be starting up this week! Brian Stucki started a wonderful thing with this website, and I was lucky to be a part of it, just for a few months. Right now, my class needs me. But I am positive the next writer will do incredible things just like Brian did! So really, if you think about it, it is a total win-win-win situation

1. Chat with Angela Kinsey tonight at 6 PM PST/9 PM EST at TheOfficeChat.com.
2. Any Chicago LITO-ites out there? If so, read on about Kate Flannery’s upcoming appearances (July 27 and 28) in the Windy City.
3. The TV addict has an awesome interview with Ed Helms.
4. Further proof of how adorable Jenna Fischer is:
Man…I am so excited. I just can’t tell you what this means to me. Not because it is an award or something like that. But because it feels like it is for our gal Pam. She’s a shy girl who doesn’t get recognized very often you know. It’s like…that shot from the episode with the Art Show where Pam is standing in front of her display waiting for the first visitor to come by…that just sums it all up for me. So, I guess I feel it in that part of me that is Pam. The part that still gets excited to show my art and hopes people are responding to it. It’s like…Hey, people showed up to my art show!
Read the rest of her Emmy noms blog here and be sure to check out her other recent posts.
5. I’ve been getting a lot of e-mails about the release date of the Season 3 DVD: September 4, 2007. You can get all the details at Amazon. Looks like the Prison Mike bandanna didn’t make the cover after all–they’ve posted a new cover that is the same shot, minus the Prison-Mike-ness.
6. Remember to vote for this week’s Throwback Thursday!

“The Office” is among the top 10 comedies being considered for Emmy nomination. No word yet on potential acting noms, but GoldDerby has got you covered if you want to check out the latest news.
On an unrelated note, I just saw this cute article about JK: From fan to star in 18 years.

It seems that Office stars are everywhere you look, and I LOVE IT!
Edit: This post quickly escalated from a short, low-risk post to a monstrous threat level midnight so…Here we go! Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy one!
1. Steve Carell on Regis & Kelly (06.19.07) Part 1 Part 2
2. John Krasinski interview on the Today Show (Mandy Moore, too)!
3. Funny red-carpet video from “Evan Almighty” premiere (lots of “Office” stars)
4. In-depth, meaty interview with Ken Kwapis at MoviesOnline
5. Craig Robinson, BJ Novak, and Steve Carell are all being recognized for their different and funny cameos in “Knocked Up”
6. John Krasinski on Conan AND David Letterman Thursday night. More things to look forward to on Thursday: THREE episodes of “The Office” on NBC and of course, LITO’s own Throwback Thursday, of course!
7. Steve Carell EVERYWHERE! I looooove it! LITO readers, take your pick: MSNBC or The Boston Herald or JoBlo.com. Or pretty much any other news outlet!
8. “The Office” - coming soon to an arcade near you? Variety details a recent deal between gamemaker MumboJumbo. The company says it plans to turn “The Office” into a casual game that allows players to handle jobs and play pranks at Dunder-Mifflin. Even better, the game will be available to play on handheld systems and PCs - the article suggests it may be available on NBC.com! Sounds FABULOUS!
9. Mini-Crossover: Though we may not have seen him much, Jan’s assistant Hunter holds a special place in our hearts. Now he’s going to play the cheerleader’s boyfriend on Heroes! I don’t watch that show, but hear good things…and let’s face it, Hunter is a hottie…
10. Scranton = hot spot? In the Cleveland Plain Dealer!

Jenna has posted her first blog post since her injury. Read an excerpt below and check out the whole thing, complete with fun pictures of supporting cast members, her husband, and various friends at her Myspace page.
I wanted to write and thank you all for your Get Well wishes. I am at home in Los Angeles now. I’m doing very well. Your prayers and good thoughts must be working because the doctor said my back is healing great. I am not in too much pain anymore so that is good. I’m still a little creaky. I can drive - but only short distances. And, I can’t quite tie my shoes yet. I get sore and have to rest in the middle of the day. It hurts if you touch it. But, I can sit comfortably for the most part. I can eat in restaurants and I made it to Bed Bath and Beyond last week. So, I’m happy.
My elbow is another story. (I also tore a ligament in my elbow during the fall and it is not doing so great.) It is still very tender. I’m hoping for some good news next week when I see a specialist.
Jenna also writes about the huge outpouring of support to Rover Rescue–over $2,000 donations in her name to date! She ends the entry talking about how excited she is to get back to work. We’re excited, too!

“The Office” Webisodes WON the Daytime Emmy for Best Broadband Comedy! NBC has posted the video of Angela, Brian, and Oscar accepting the award! Check out an exclusive behind-the-scenes interview with Brian.
If you haven’t seen the Webisodes yet, you definitely need to watch them now! They helped me through last year’s long, painful wait to see the resolution of Casino Night, and NBC has them all at the website. Watching all 10 webisodes takes about the same time as a regular episode. Here’s #5 at Youtube:
Now let’s just hope the Primetime Emmy’s go the same way, with “The Office” victorious!
