The World Of Jadeey

Right. By this point in time everyone who reads this blog knows that I love John Krasinski AKA Jim Halpert.

A long time ago I started watching the show Chuck. (Well, not a long time. It's only just starting its 2nd season.) A couple of episodes in I noticed that Zach Levi (Chuck) looks kind of similar to John Krasinski. My friends laughed and denied it. BUT I am not the only one who sees the similarities.

Zach Levi has said that people have thought he is John Krasinski before. And Wireimage (a very popular media website) had a photo of Zach Levi labelled as John Krasinski for a little while. See!!

If you need further proof:





Surely there can be no argument now? They don't look identical, but they do look similar. (Also, I ADORE Chuck. Clearly I have a 'type'.)

Is this post actually about The Office, you ask. Of course it is! John Krasinski is vital to The Office and any post about him is also about my favourite show. But, if you need more then I will also say that I am very sad because it isn't on this week. There is a US Presidential debate scheduled for the same time as The Office is usually on. This means there is still another 8 days until I get another episode. That's okay - I have plenty of other stuff going on in my life and presidential debates are very important. Go Obama!

For today I have hunted down some funny The Office videos for you guys.

First up we have my favourite character - Andy. See, I'm in love with Jim but I find Andy absolutely hilarious. My favourite moments are when he sings. This video combines all of his songs into one. Very cool. (I particularly love him singing Take a chance on me. Melts my heart every time.




Here is someones favourite The Office moments. It's labelled as the best Office moments, I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. They are good ones, but I wouldn't necessarily say they are the best. Especially considering it is missing two of my favourite moments (in videos below.) Anyway, these moments are all still very funny.




Everyone who loves The Office also loves the that's what she said joke. Here are a whole lotta that's what she said jokes all in one awesome video.




Okay, one of my favourite episodes is called Product Recall. The video of the best bits is below. I fully recommend the beginning and end of the video as it is Jim dressed up as Dwight and then Dwight dressed up as Jim. The middle is awesome too - but it's the beginning and end that are the funniest.




This next video has my favourite cold opens of all the cold opens at the beginning.



Apparently this take was the only time the exercise ball actually burst. Every other time it just deflated slowly, but on this take John Krasinski accidentally hit the seam and it popped. So the end is actually everyone out of character reacting to Rainn Wilson hitting the floor. I think that just makes it funnier.

And, just cos I can, here is John Krasinski with a very important public service announcement about jellybeans.



Makes me laugh EVERY time. And he is also completely correct. Black jellybeans are gross.

I have crushes on 2 actors from The Office. One is John Krasinski. I love him and plan to marry him someday. (And I have a foolproof plan, which I will detail at the end of this blog.) The other is Jenna Fischer. You know how on Rove he loves to ask his guests who they'd turn gay for? My answer is, without question, Jenna Fischer.

Here is a cute video of Jenna Fischer. (Very old.)




Here's John Krasinski on Craig Ferguson a couple of days ago.




And here is a fairly old video with both of them.




Oh boy. I like them.

Okay, for those of you who want to know my foolproof plan to meet John Krasinski (cos, let's face it, all I gotta do is meet him. Him then falling in love with and wanting to marry me is assured after that.) here it is. I am going to walk all around LA until I find him. Then I am going to quickly get a few paces in front of him and have a friend stage a mugging. I will collapse in a heap, pretending to have fainted. John Krasinski will come to my aid. And the rest will be, as they say, history. Yep. Foolproof.

Yes, yes the title of this blog is actually an official quote from The Office. And, as this blog can attest, it is also sadly accurate in reference to me.

I watched the new episode today. And it was awesome. But I can't talk about it because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet. So, instead, I'm going to post a video. This is one of my favourite John Krasinski videos. I did actually post this a long time ago, but it's worth posting again.




Okay, you can all see why I adore this guy right?

It's time for a list.

Guys Holly is going to marry:












For those of you who couldn't recognise my boys by their pictures:
1. Hugh Laurie
2. Colin Firth
3. Colin Hanks
4. Stephen Fleming
5. John Krasinski

Yes, that is a very specific order. Hugh Laurie and Colin Firth are a bit older. So I marry them first. (You've got to marry the older ones first.) Then Colin Hanks goes next because it seems to make sense to replace one Colin with another. That way I don't have to remember a new name.

Deciding the order of Stephen Fleming and John Krasinski just about killed me. I've loved Stephen Fleming forever, but he's currently married. So, I want to just marry him for a little while - then he can go back to his wife and kids. I'm not a homewrecker.

That leaves me happily ever after with John Krasinski. Can't complain about that. He's freaking sexy.

I have decided that I really like writing lists and I do not write enough of them. My Christmas lists were good but I think I can do better!

Holly's Awesome List of Awesome Things That Are Awesome

1. My lounge-suite. It contains the most comfortable couch in the history of the universe AND the two most comfortable recliners in the history of the universe. No joke
2. The fact that I used the word awesome 3 times in the title of this list
3. John Krasinski
4. The Office (TV show, NOT the office I worked in until 7 days ago)
5. That I no longer work at the movies!
6. My nephew
7. Mountain Dew
8. John Krasinski (he's awesome enough to deserve multiple mentions)
9. House (the TV show again)
10. Hells Kitchen (okay, gotta stop listing TV shows now. I do have a life! Honest!)
11. Toast (I haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry and dreaming of toast)
12. Kitset furniture from The Warehouse (if I had more money I would buy better furniture and no longer think this is awesome. But I don't have much money so I think it's pretty bloody awesome actually.)
13. That there was a tiny bit of snow in Upper Hutt yesterday. Some families had a white Christmas (sort of) in the middle of summer!
14. My DVD collection
15. My family (this list is not in order! I would never put my family down so low)
16. My friends
17. John Krasinski
18. John Krasinski
19. John Krasinski
20. John Krasinski

Sorry about the repetitiveness of the last 4. But he is! And I wanted to get to 20 but I got tired of thinking of stuff.

Labels: John Krasinski, lists

I have decided that it is time for another list. As you all know, there are two things I love more than anything else in the world. The question has always been which do I love more, John Krasinski or Mountain Dew. Well folks, here it is, for the first time I publicly declare a favourite.

Why John Krasinski is better than Mountain Dew

1. Whenever I get an annoying song stuck in my head I can get rid of it by listening to (or imagining) John Krasinski singing Hero by Enrique Iglesias. (A much more pleasant thing to have stuck in my head!) Mountain Dew never helps me get rid of annoying songs.

2. If I could only take two things with me to a desert island they would be Mountain Dew and John Krasinski. If I could take only one thing, well I'd miss Mountain Dew but John'd keep me much warmer and more entertained. :-P

3. John Krasinski makes me laugh on a regular basis. Mountain Dew only makes me laugh when I think about their old tag-line - "There's nothing more satisfying than slamming a dew."

4. Cuddling up to a bottle at night isn't that pleasant. Cuddling up to John would be VERY, VERY pleasant!

5. (Look away for this one mum!) Sex with John Krasinski would be much more comfortable (and satisfying and NOT gross) than sex with a bottle of Mountain Dew.

6. John Krasinski makes a lot of money which he could share with me. Mountain Dew just costs me a lot of money.

7. Mountain Dew can't make a 'Jim face' to cheer me up.

8. John Krasinski would be a much better conversationalist.

9. John Krasinski doesn't ruin my teeth (although he does have an interesting effect on other parts of me!)

10. People will be jealous of me when I marry John. They would not be jealous if I married mountain dew - they'd just think I was a freak!

11. I think accents are sexy as hell. Mountain Dew can't even speak let alone do accents. John, on the other hand, is the master of accents.

12. John Krasinski looks GREAT with a shirt off. The Mountain Dew equivalent of a shirt off is no label and that just doesn't get me going at all.

13.

I think those last three speak for themselves!

Heh, not really. That's far more dramatic than the reality of what happened.

I wanted Kat to do her Tuesday vlog this week of her singing "Hero" but she wouldn't do it. She wouldn't do it even when I double dared her! What's that about? (heh how old are we?) It would have been funny, I would have liked it.

So, because Kat didn't do it I will instead post the video of (my future husband) John doing it:



So good.

In other news, my dad has found a possible job for me in Wellington. It's just an admin job but it pays alright and means I won't have to freak out about having no money. Also, because it's an admin job, it's 8am-5pm so no more crazy shift work. I'm going to apply and see how it goes. I probably won't get it anyway but it's worth a shot.

Because I just bored you all with a lecture on grammar I thought I'd write the post that I had initially intended to write today. I want to talk for a little bit about celebrity crushes.

When I was a kid my celebrity crushes were no different to my crushes on real people. I guess my crushes as a kid were mostly physical. If I thought someone was attractive that was basis enough for a crush. If they were also a nice person then that was extra great! I guess in the case of a celebrity crush it was based more on their character's personality than their own.

The first celebrity crush I can remember was Luke Perry (God that's embarrassing now). For those of you who don't know, Luke Perry played Dylan on Beverly Hills 90210. I wouldn't really call Dylan a 'nice guy'. He was a bit of a bad-boy really but it was in a fairly harmless way from memory. He had that tall, dark and sexy thing going on and I've always been a sucker for the tall and dark guys, rather than blondes.

After I moved on from Luke Perry I discovered a New Zealand actor named Craig Parker.(there were probably some minor celebrity crushes in there somewhere that I'm not remembering, I'm just going to discuss the major ones.) Craig played Guy Warner on Shortland Street and, again, was tall (well tall compared to me, I was 11) and dark. (Did I mention that I met him recently? That was an exciting moment for me, I've never fully shaken off my Craig-crush). I quit watching Shorty-St once Guy left, I missed him a lot.

The most major celebrity crush of my life would have to be Stephen Fleming. I still adore him (almost) as much today as when I first developed the crush 12 years ago, just in a more realistic way. Oh look, there is a theme! Stephen Fleming is also tall and dark! (And INCREDIBLY sexy)

Stephen was my last spontaneously-occurring celebrity crush. Since then I have had celebrity crushes but they are created-crushes. For instance, two years ago I met Colin Hanks at the King Kong afterparty. He was cute (very cute actually, it surprised me), he was nice when I met him and (it turned out) I thought he acted really well in King Kong. I was excited about having me a proper Hollywood celebrity so I decided to get a crush on him. Crush really probably is the wrong word but I can't think of a better word to describe it. I decided I was going to marry him (jokingly of course) and bought a lot of films he was in. I don't seriously believe I am ever going to marry him, I don't even think I am ever going to meet him again, I don't constantly have dreams involving him and I don't pine for him. So no, it's not a crush like a crush on a real person is. It's just a bit of fun.

Anyway, following on from Colin was Hugh Laurie. I decided on the Hugh-crush because I became obsessed with the show House. Before House I knew Hugh Laurie as Mr Little from Stuart Little. I really didn't know him from anything else. His acting ability on House astounded me and he is super-duper sexy in House as well. To me that seemed like a good enough combination of attributes for a new celebrity crush (celebrity crushes get a little boring pretty quickly because once you have seen/collected everything they have previously been in it's a long time between drinks, so to speak.) So, I set about buying everything Hugh has been in. Again, he is a great actor so it's not like this is a chore for me.

I am now ready for a new celebrity crush. House let me down a bit in Season 3. I still like it but it's lost a wee bit of the magic. I'm hoping it will recapture it in season 4. But, just in case, it's time for a new crush. As you have all gathered my current tv/dvd obsession is The Office. It is, of course, the logical place to discover a new celebrity crush since I am already obsessed with the show. (Just like I crushed on Hugh because I was obsessed with House.) I have decided on John Krasinski as my Office-actor of choice. (It's taken me days to be able to remember his last name. He plays Jim, by the way) He's WAY cute, his character on the show is adorable and he's a really good actor. So, basically, he's perfect. Prepare for some John Krasinski raving from me in the near future! And definitely prepare for an increase in John Krasinski films in my dvd collection as well.

Yes, I enjoy buying DVDs in themes. It makes DVD buying more interesting than just going out and buying stuff I saw at the movies and liked. This way I get to watch and own stuff that I haven't necessarily seen before and that is, maybe, a slight deviation from the norm. I just like it. Shuddup!
