And So It Begins ..

Do you have any plans tonight?

No? Oh, that's too bad. I guess you have no soul.

For anyone who does have a soul, they'll probably be glued onto their television sets tonight for the return of .. [dun dun dunn] .. The Office!

Here at Life in Boxes, it's been a bit of a running joke that another editor (Hi Jen!) and I are a little bit in love with The Office. We blogged about it here when the new season was airing. We continued on when the WGA strike put production in a standstill for 100 days. And yes, when our beloved show returns tonight, you bet your Tivo that we sure as hell are going to post about it today.

Tonight's episode is called "Dinner Party." From the spoilers read here and there online, as well as the recently added "cold opening" on the NBC website, it is pretty self-explanatory even in the episode title itself as to what's going on with our Dunder Mifflin friends tonight.

It'll be interesting to see how producers are going to hide Angela Kinsey's (who plays everyone's favorite cat-loving and party-planning extraordinarre, Angela Martin) burgeoning baby bump. According to recent interviews, expect to see Angela behind printers, behind the desk, etc. Aw, I guess the speculated pregnancy-lovechild story between Angela and Dwight won't be happening anytime [soon?].

Anyway, after weeks of waiting .. it's finally here. We can all breathe and start the countdown.

8 hours to go.
