The Office, Last One Standing, and Darkness

So, my roommates really love the tv show The Office. I've watched bits and pieces here and there, but I've never been that interested. At this point in my day though, I have just watched the newest episode, and I really have to say that I'm finding myself attached to the characters. They are really well done. Substantially quirky and honest at the same time. It really is a fantastic cast. If only I'd realized this sooner.

Another show we've picked up is Last One Standing. There have been three episodes so far (I've yet to see the third). This show basically takes incnredible and diverse athletes from the US and Britain and pits them against natives of different countries in their own fighting style. For example, last week, they went to a Zulu tribe in South Africa and learned Zulu Stick Fighting. It's definitely a really neat show as well.

Finally, I've noticed lately how much darkness is lame. I live in the basement of my house and I can tell you whenever I step into the dark, I feel different. More sad, more easily beat down. It kinda just stirs of sad/bad feelings. It's pretty fascinating seeing the power of darkness. I'm gonna keep exploring this one later as I'm really tired right now.

This is weird.
In the last week, I've had 3 face-to-face conversations about the effect it has on people that it's getting darker earlier, I posted on my blog about it, you wrote about it, and Nick M. wrote on his blog about it.
I guess the face-to-face convos weren't that weird b/c I initiated 2 of them, but nonetheless, it seems to be a common theme at the moment.
