Today when I got home from work I was glad to be home, but sad knowing that tonight is the last episode of The Office for probably quite some time.
But my F.H. John Krasinski knew this was what was going on so he made sure that when I got home from work, my mailbox had the Gap Winter 08 catalogue. (Thanks, GMMR!)
That’s definitely likely to keep me warm, too.
That is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
Love the clothes. Love the boy. Love it all.
And, darling, I love that you’re already dressed to go pick out our first Christmas tree and decorate it by the fireplace with hot chocolate. It’s sweet. And charming. And adorable. And I can’t wait.
Sesame Street, that is.
Not too long ago, John sent me a photo of Anderson Cooper with a couple of Sesame Street Grouches (photo pending when I’m not at work.). Aside from being the best picture ever taken, it was photographic proof that Anderson Cooper was going to make a guest appearance on perhaps the most influential show of my life. As if I couldn’t love him any more…
(There was a good quality video on YouTube, but it appears to have been taken down. So, here we have this one which someone filmed off their TV. Until I find another one, this will have to do, but you get the idea.)
Also, as I was watching this video I was snookered into some other GLORIOUS Anderson Cooper YouTube videos when he is at his funniest and most ferocious.
Also, this week his special with Sanjay Gupta is starting on CNN, “Planet in Peril.” It looks pretty interesting, so maybe we should check it out.
AND, have you read Cooper’s book yet? I really think you should.
Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to my darling boy, F.H. John Krasinski!
Next weekend, when I’m in Scranton, we’re celebrating by being really passionate about Italian food. For like 3908 hours. And then for the rest of forever.
A few months ago, there was no movie I wanted to see more than License to Wed, starring Mandy Moore, Robin Williams and Future Husband John Krasinski. Not like I was especially psyched to get out to see a formulaic romantic comedy or any Robin Williams movie, for that matter, but I figured there be some good, quality ga-ga time between me and the Mister. And while there was a fair amount of ga-ga, believe me, this movie had more than enough gag-gag to last a lifetime, or at least until I can cleanse my cinematic palette.
Meet Ben. Meet Sadie. Watch Ben and Sadie embark on a typical, yet very sweet, movie romance. They’re young, hip and getting close to tying the knot. I should have known how incredibly doomed we were when Ben proposes to Sadie at her parents’ 30th wedding anniversary party after Sadie’s father gives a toast in which he thanks everyone individually for coming to the party except for Ben. Naturally, Ben decides this is the best time to propose to Sadie. Does this sound like a good idea to you? Not painfully awkward at all? Well, congratulations, Hollywood is apparently hiring. The awkward and painfully uncomfortable feeling of this scene stays with you throughout the entire movie, and we haven’t even met Reverend Frank yet.
That being said…
Meet Reverend Frank, who isn’t so much a Reverend as he is just Robin Williams, so I’m just going to refer to him as that. I mean, really, who are we kidding here?
Williams ”plays” the inappropriate/unfunny/disgusting/Robin Williamsy Reverend of the church that Sadie’s family has attended and has a deep history with for many years. And while Ben might have been anxious to skip off to the Caribbean to get married right away, Sadie was insistent that she gets married in her family’s church, which means meeting with Robin Williams. Within a few moments of Ben and Sadie’s first meeting with Robin, they learn of the Marriage Preparation Course that they have to take, and pass, before he officiates the ceremony which is conveniently in three weeks. As one could imagine, the course is trying and to use a total cliche (and like you didn’t see this one coming), reveals the true colors of all parties involved. I’m not going to tell you how it ends, because you already know that part, but I will tell you that one of the final scenes of this movie is one of the most awful scenes ever put on film, on all counts. Cinematography, script, direction, acting, extras, catering. Literally, all counts. Just awful.
I found License to Wed painfully boring, predictable, flat and most of all, uncomfortably immature. While it was nice to see cameos from three of John’s Office co-stars (Brian Baumgartner, Angela Kinsey and Mindy Kaling), it hurt me to see Christine Taylor so in need of a cheeseburger and a job. But as expected, Mandy Moore is an absolute doll and Robin Williams continues to frustrate and irritate me to the Nth degree. All in all, I think I’d rather take a 3 dollar nap and dream about the Graham-Krasinski wedding than watch this movie again, especially since my dream does not come with Robin Williams narration.
Sweetpea, I know it’s not your fault, but I just didn’t like this one. It’s okay though. I still love you more than yesterday and loving you means loving you at your best and not-so-best. Which I do. Let’s just go to sleep and forget this ever happened and count down the days til Leatherheads.
Will you get Chinese take-out with me tomorrow from that place that stuck a menu in my door today and watch this movie with me? You will?! Wonderful!
Apparently it was released a few years ago, but comes out tomorrow on DVD! It looks Bottle Rockety! And it’s starring my Esposo Futuro Numero Uno!!
(Big thanks to Miss Melissa for sharing the following link!)
Check out these super cute photos of a very young, and still very adorable Future Husband John Crushinski. Gah! Those ears! How cute!
Dearest!! My family might not approve that you’re a Michigan fan, but I’ll meet you at the altar in 20 minutes anyway.
At first I wasn’t sure how this one slipped under my radar, but then I realized that it happened while I was in Guatemala. And pretty much, this is unacceptable that I haven’t reported on this until now.
This, being Future Husband John Krasinski had a ga-ga-ga-gooorgeous spread in GQ magazine.
This is how I feel when I think about you, too!!
Man in suit! Man in suit! Swoon!

Hello, My Darling. I promise that when we’re married and living on our big beautiful, tree-y farm, we’ll have a basketball hoop in the driveway, and you can teach our children all the ins and outs of basketball. Maybe once a week we can have a family showdown and you can pick up Little Olivia June and help her slam dunk. And then, we’ll have BBQ and fresh-squeezed lemonade on the porch and watch the fireflies come out while Olivia and her sisters, Kennedy Jayne, Madeline Marie and Wyatt James (and their brother Will Sawyer) try and catch them in jars for night lights. See you then.
Black. Red. Green. Blue. White. Three-quarter sleeve, full sleeve. Argyle, plain. Loads of ‘em.
I even own *two* Cardigans CDs.
Does that mean we can get married now?
Being fully aware of the fact that I’ve neglected this little feature for the past few weeks, what with travel, graduation and finals… I had the best of intentions to bring my camera cord and uploading tools on my little journey and have a little something to deliver to y’all from my journey. Well, leave it to yours truly to completely forget her camera cord and be faced with yet another week of irregular Babble.
But, thanks to the wonderful people over at OfficeTally (I love these folks), I’ve got 20-something F.H. John Krasinski photos to share. (!!!)
Look at the snuggle-ready darling boy!!!
Iain and I went to Newport on the Levee last night to see Knocked Up. Luckily, I was able to put away my soul-searing anger for Izzie Stevens to really enjoy Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen as two good-natured, polar opposite people trying to make good with a baby on the way. The movie had the raunch and debauchery of a run-of-the-mill “frat boy movie”, but the sweetness and heart of solid gold that I especially loved in The 40 Year-Old Virgin. Judd Apatow is an incredibly talented guy who knows how to crank out the absolute best and worst of people in the funniest and sweetest ways possible.
Speaking of sweetest ways possible…
Happy Monday Morning, kids. Since it is “What the Hell” O’clock Sea Babble Standard time, we need some real laughs so we can stop trying to find the fact that we’re up so damn early… funny. Because it’s pretty unfunny.
So watch this video of FH Jon Stewart. Because it’s hilarious. And has a one second mention/photo of FH John Krasinski. And it’s hilarious.
Which brings us to this week, officially.
Well, officially I am done with classes when I decide to finish my Mesoamerican Archaeology final. Which has to be done by Thursday, officially. And then I am officially d-o-n-e. Officially, this rocks. Then it’s weekend and graduation next Wednesday the 30th. Faaaantastic.
I’ve got some posts I’ve been dancing around for the past few weeks that I will hopefully buckle down to sometime this week, so keep your eyes peeled.
Happy Monday, Unpaid Interns.
Okay kids, today is the day that quiets a lot of the rumors and rumblings we’ve been hearing about the fall fate of our favorite television shows.
And Babble affiliate and unpaid intern, John, broke the story this morning that we can be expecting a whole lot more from the good folks over at NBC.
I’ve lost track of Earl this past year, and while I always thought that the show was funny and entertaining, what I admire most about Earl, Randy, Joy and Crab Man’s crazy antics, is the solid gold heart of goodness behind that show. It means well and always makes my heart smile big. I will definitely try and pick up on my Earl patronage this next season.
And a Bionic Woman series! With Ann Veal!!!!
But. Let’s be real. The big news here is that I am getting 17.5 hours of him:
Did you know that this is my absolute, all time, favorite photo of F.H. John Krasinski?
Honey, I hope our darling little girls get their tree climbing skills from their father. Your ability will come in handy when we build little Kennedy Jayne, Olivia June, Wyatt Marie and Charlotte Leigh their tree house where we’ll have weekly family sleepovers and movie fests.
Can’t wait.
We have the trailer from my Future Husband John Krasinski’s new movie License to Wed. (Previously covered here.)
My heart is all fluttery and I fainted all 87 times I watched the first thirty seconds.
One of the movies I am most anticipating this summer is the third installment in the Shrek series, Shrek the Third. If you haven’t seen them because you’re just not that into animated movies, I think you need to reconsider your position for this series. In my opinion, Shrek 2 was better than Shrek (The dialogue between Shrek and Donkey about the land of “Far, Far Away” still cracks me up every time I think about it), but they’re both still worth checking out, as will be Shrek the Third. Anyone who was ever a kid who loved to read and loved to hear stories will be instantly drawn to these movies. The writing is brilliant, the jokes are hilarious and the story is sweet and has the strongest sense of heart. Not only does this newest installment see the return of some of my comedy heroes from the earlier films, Mike Myers, John Cleese and Eddie Murphy (and Ms. Julie Andrews!!!!!), but some new voices, too.
Including: Justin Timberlake (LOVE the reference to him in Shrek 2), ERIC IDLE, Amy Sedaris and, and, and, and…. F.H. John Krasinski playing Sir Lancelot.
(Breathing, breathing, breathing.)
This summer, I’m prepared to fall head over heels in love with an animated character.
This playful and sweet photo is officially one of my favorites ever. To read the article, go here and click on the photo to make it gigantic. I know I did.
This photo was probably taken shortly after our third honeymoon. We went to Scotland and rode horses through the countryside on our way to Loch Ness. Every few minutes he would pose like that and do a hilarious William Wallace impression and then we’d both have giggle fits for like 20 minutes. It was awesome.
Look at what Future Husband John Krasinski has been up to!!!!
Besides locking lips with Mandy Moore… (And really, for a minute here I just want to say that I’d love to be her. She’s drop dead gorgeous, gets to record/write with Rachael Yamagata *and* gets to make out with John Krasinski. I’d make out with John Krasinski. For hours. And you wouldn’t even have to pay me millions of dollars. Ya hear that, Warner Bros.??? I’d do it for free. F-R-E-E.)…He’s making movies galore! Leatherheads, Shrek the Third and License to Wed. And I am so proud of my darling.
I’ve gotta learn photoshop.
Though this one is my favorite.
How! Adorable! Oh, John. Is this the garden we’re getting married in? Are you just checking it out? Because I approve.
I’ll take care of him. And grill him salmon. I’ll even practice and try really hard to keep it in once piece. And sneak surprise presents in his suitcase when he travels. And we can go on drives to random roadside attractions and listen to good music and then at the end of the day tell eachother stories by the fireplace. It would really be the best thing ever. I promise. Someone give him my number.
(Limited-Time Offer: July 4, 2007… I know everyone (including me) wants to see Transformers… BUT! If someone goes and sees License to Wed with me, I’ll go see Transformers the very next day! AND I’ll buy your ticket and snacks. How about THEM apples.)
I wanna post a link to some pretty cruddy, yet still cool, photos of F.H. John Krasinski (here and here) on the set of The Cloon’s new project Leatherheads, a romantic comedy starring The Cloon, John, and Renee Zellweger set around a football team in the 20’s. The pictures aren’t anything spectacular, but the costume is cool.
Speaking of Krasinski…
I really enjoyed Jarhead, and for reasons beyond the obvious arsenal of Future Husbands. It’s the story of a platoon of Marines being called to “action” during Desert Storm and finds itself being a sobering look at war and politics laced with some bitter comedy, I enjoyed it and was pretty entertained throughout. I suggest you see it.
Anyway, I had read somewhere that John had a small role in Jarhead but couldn’t remember who he was for the life of me. I’m sure I would remember if he were one of the main guys in the platoon, and I was fairly sure he wasn’t. (By the way, if you go on YouTube and type in John Krasinski and Jarhead, you get some silly home video style footage of him and some of the other “extra” marines on the set killing time in between takes. It’s entertaining once you’ve seen the movie)
A few weeks ago I caught it on HBO and was tuned in to find Krasinski, which I did. Later to research and find that he actually wrote some of the dialogue himself. All the more reason for you to check it out!!!
I am so proud.
A) It’s snowing! Well, I call it snow. Everyone else in the Midwest would probably call it “flurries” but it’s kind of sticking! I think! I took more pictures of the less than one inch of snow than I have taken in my entire trip so far. I’m acting 5 years old and I am okay with that. Hopefully by next winter this whole “weather” thing is old news to me, otherwise I will probably have a lot less friends.
B) I would upload some of these snow pictures… if I weren’t using my Grandma’s computer. Which is brand spankin’ new. It’s very nice. Pretty. Filled with goodies. One of those data port thingers on the front that has a slot for 8 million different memory cards and the 2 USB cables. But running on dial-up. It just seems like such a terrible waste. And it has reminded me how I would imagine dial-up as a punishment for shoplifting in some countries. It’s also forced me to sign onto AOL which I do maybe, maybe, MAYBE once a year. My inbox has 389 e-mails in it. One day, when I’m bored, I may go through these. Maybe I’m sitting on a mountain of unopened e-mails that say I’ve won a bazillion dollars. Or maybe I’m missing out on some good perscription drug deals. The world may never know.
C) My cell phone charger was left in Cincinnati at Aunt Mary’s. So I’ve got dial up and no cell phone. Tonight it looks like we’re gonna party like its 1999. Yay?
D) Apparently I now “knit.” My grandma is teaching me and I am not really learning. It’s not as easy as it seems and I keep making these giant knots that make my grandma say “You know, Chhhhhhhhelsea… you keep making the same mistake.” (Note: I do not see this “mistake.”) My first scarf is going to be this pretty green color that is colored like good veggies, but smells much nicer.
Anyway, maybe my Christmas 2032 you will all have a scarf or mittens. Put in color requests now. First come, first serve!!!!
I think that’s all for now.
New Office tomorrow night!!! I hope Roy keeps his dirty hands off my man. But if he does handle my man, I hope Jim knows I’ll go out and stock up on frozen peas, vanilla ice cream and rent us the entire first season of Good Times or somesing.
Also, according to Aunt Lynn, cousins and Grandma, I need to start working on editing my vocabulary.
(Silena- You’ve earned a few points here. My Aunt called me out on saying “market,” like you always do. She says I have to start saying “store.” See, you’re already better adjusted than I am!)
Recently it seems that I almost always am either not home, sleeping, or forgetful of the fact that Future Husband Keith Olbermann has a TV show. So all the good Olbermann moments usually happen in the kitchen when my mother tries her best to re-tell a lot of the stories to me. It usually ends in me not getting it and her having to forward them to me.
So here are some of my recent favorites.
1) I don’t hate many people. But, boy, do I hate Glenn Beck.
2) The DMV one is my favorite. But they’re all pretty good.
Why do I feel like everyone and their mother has had a visit to the set of The Office except for me?
And this happened to be the next video on my playlist. (Do yourself a favor and hit stop after AC) A) Um… Yummy. B) Future Husband Anderson Cooper’s such a dork. But he’s my dork. And I couldn’t love him more.
