The Office

Just before ten, I had a mind to rant again. I wanted to whine, to wallow in generous helpings of self-pity and to drown myself in sorrows thinking of all the things that I lacked and why there's no hope for me anymore.

Then, I switched on the TV and saw that 'The Office' was on in Star World.

I just want to say, that if you ever, ever need a lift in the spirit, David Brent will not fail you. 'The Office' is one of the funniest tv shows I've watched, and David Brent is hilarious as everyone's worst nightmare when it comes to bosses. I laughed out loud, (loud enough for my sister to overhear me from two rooms away), that I almost cried. I don't laugh easily. I'm so jaded, and sometimes so clueless that I tend to laugh mildly, either not getting the joke or not thinking it's funny.

But not David Brent. Oh no. He just bumped off Billy Crystal at the top of my list of Favorite Men to be stuck in an Island with, a la Lost. (Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Eminem, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton are further down the list because I don't know if they're funny or witty. If I will be lost in an island and stuck with someone, I'll like to be able to laugh.)

I thought Sunday night TV is boring. I was wrong. David Brent just made my day.
