family feud

one thing about me and brandon -- we love "the office." we've been huge fans since the beginning of season two and never miss an episode.

so when our friends heather & tyson suggested we go to the taping of celebrity family feud which featured cast members from the office, we were all over that. brandon even skipped the last hour of his GMAT class to go, which NEVER happens.

yesterday we went down to hollywood for the taping and ended up sitting in the second row right behind the stage (it's a weird set -- they have the regular audience seats but also some at the front, right behind the main screen). i was pretty pumped because the people who play oscar, phyllis, creed, kevin and meredith were all there -- we cheered for the cast every time they came out and did anything, and they'd smile and wave at us. actors from my name is earl and american gladiators were also there. anyway, we ended up getting to talk to oscar for a while as he waited for a game, and then when they won the whole thing (oops...now you don't have to watch it, i guess :) they walked off the stage right next to us and we got to give them all high fives and shake their hands and talk to them for a little while. they seemed so cool and fun, and were super nice to us.

i've been to more than my fair share of tv show tapings, and as far as shows go this one was pretty boring. it was totally worth it, though, just to meet these guys. not a bad way to spend a saturday afternoon, right?

another highlight though -- when we arrived, i saw a couple people i knew from NBC. i interned there the summer before my senior year in the publicity department, so i assume these peeps were there representing the shows. so random to see them again after all this time.

today we both spoke in church, and then i taught YW, and then my parents came for dinner. whew! what a week, i tell ya. luckily this week things will actually slow down a little -- i need a vacation or something. haha.
