Tonight's episode was awesome, though I'm not sure where I'd rank it compared to the mid-season premiere.  Did anyone notice how almost R-rated the finale was?  Pregnancies, a marriage proposal, a foiled one, a hazing involving the idea ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2008/05/15/the-office-season-finale-review-goodbye-toby/ Quick-hitters: - Thank you, Time Warner. My internet connection was out as soon as I finished blogging last night, and was still out when I first signed on earlier today.

And what about the DVD sets for ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2008/05/15/ross-is-evilthe-jazz-blew-it/ Quick-hitters: - Is it just me, or are those Mac v PC commercials getting exponentially stupider? Actually, I'm almost certain it's not just me. (You can tack on that stupid Mentos commercial, where the guy chews a piece of Mentos gum, and a girl comes up to him and drinks out of his ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2008/05/14/hacking-flashing-routing-bridging-and-more-fun-covertly-installing-gizmos-at-the-parents-house-part-2/ (Note: This was supposed to be posted last night.

Blog-related quick-hitters: - As a fan of The Office, I am appalled at myself for the fact that I have yet to watch last Thursday's episode! I am ashamed of myself, and ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2008/05/11/hacking-flashing-routing-bridging-and-more-fun-covertly-installing-gizmos-at-the-parents-house-part-1/ Sorry, no Office review tonight! I really didn't expect the Spurs-Hornets game to be THAT entertaining! Quick-hitters: - Does anybody own a Treo 700 series, specifically the 755p? My sister's 755p is in a never-ending reboot loop, no matter how many times I soft- or hard-reset the damn thing. ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2008/05/08/chase-balance-transfer-checks-walgreens-is-going-to-lose-business-over-this-spurs-can-be-entertainin/ Quick-hitters: - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

Celtics thoughts: I missed the game completely (more on that later), but I was astonished to find that "King" James only went 2-for-18. As soon as I heard that, I assumed that he had to have been fouled several times w/o getting calls. Apparently that was ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2008/05/07/sprint-shopping-cart-at-the-checkout-line-celebs-rallies-power-greater-than-the-ung-hex-at-dodger-stadium/
