"Twittering" over the Office

Did anyone catch the office last night? (I know my girl Summer was tuned in) I tell ya I think I had forgotten how much I LURVE this show and how much I was longing to see my neurotic pretend friends and boyfriend Jim (BE STILL MY HEART--MARRY ME PLEASE) (yes I KNOW I AM DRAMATIC but don't pretend like this is some kind of new revelation --just love me through it), kudos to the genius writers of this fabulous series, I think that the writers strike has only stregthened the quality of the show-- there were so many brilliant yet ridiculous, pee in your pants, moments that I just felt compelled,by the holy spiriat (ok that is a stretch and not true at all---I just wanted to say that) to highlight a few for your reading pleasure .... Jim's (marry Me NOW) fake proposal to Pam!!! Or how about when Michael refers to Oscar as you 'lil "Oscar Meyer Weiner lover" making reference to his "condition" as he likes to call it, or when he calls Wendy ( the Hot and Juicy redhead) but turned out to be the actual fast food restaurant,or at the coffee shop where he had gotten his name called out by the barista to pick up his coffee after he had just denied that his name was Michael to Pam's homely landlord, and lets not forget about the inspiration behind the whole episode-- Michael's infatuation with the Chairmodel in the Chair catalog and how about the finale where Dwight and Michael go to her grave and start singing "Bye, bye Miss American Pie"---ahhh Classic moments and definitely goes down as one of my top ten favorite episodes...I love all of these awkward, inappropriate uncomfortable and really, really ridiculous people I think one of the main reasons I find them ALL so endearing is because I know these people in real life, whether you have worked in an office (but especially), have neurotic friends or share the same gene pool--- WE ALL KNOW these people and if you don't know these people YOU ARE THESE PEOPLE (I speak the truth in love) -- alas my Thursdays nights are all a 'twitter again ...SPEAKING of TWITTERING---Can some one please explain to me the purpose of this new phenomenon? I am so confused...isn't it basically just texting ( I Know I just sounded OLD...thats bc I am) What is the point of it, I am always so skeptical of new stuff like this (ie:INTRANET (as my late grandmother would say),email,cell phones, texting, myspace, facebook, blogging....) but I ALWAYS give in and become its BIGGEST FAN---so can someone explain to me the point of Twitter and its usefulness....so I can jump on the bandwagon....this is Brandi Brownlee signing off...till next time homies!!
