It’s Office Thursday, or at least what passes for it for the next six weeks

Yeah, The Office return is still six weeks away. Might as well be six months, the way it feels right now. So here’s a bunch of Office-y tidbits worth checking out. Hope it holds you over in the meantime.
…Dwight Schrute once said that if you do not watch Battlestar Galactica, then you are an idiot. Well he also says that you are an idiot if you think that all meat must be cooked in an oven or on a stove or using a grill. I’ll let him elaborate: Schrute Space. Creed Bratton, meanwhile, often feels like a squirrel.
…The Scranton Times-Tribune reports that Dunder Mifflin CFO David Wallace, aka Andy Buckley, will represent the show at the city’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade blowout March 15.
…The New York Times reports that Tina Fey isn’t the only funny person from NBC’s Thursday night lineup who’ll host a show before this truncated half-season is through. Steve Carell takes a turn in May.
…There’s a lot of Jenna Fischer-Angela Kinsey videos up at NBC.com. I linked to a few earlier, but there’s a couple more now. Kinda girlie, but fun stuff.
…B.J. Novak was on recently with Elliot in the Morning, which is apparently some kind of radio show. Listen to or download the clip here.
…Here’s the lowdown on the new Dunder Mifflin newsletter: Scrabble bad, Boggle good; the work microwave isn’t for fish; and snowballs are dangerous. Plus, there’s other funny stuff.
…Jenna Fischer got stalked by the paparazzi for the first time. (Hard to believe, huh?) Well she blogged about it at her MySpace page. She even posted pictures of her and her sister, but oddly no paparazzi. Anyway, she confirms the cast and crew get back to work on new episodes this coming Monday. Does my heart good to read that.
…E! Online’s Kristin dos Santos, however, says that Rainn Wilson told her the date is March 10. I don’t care, as long as episodes start airing April 10 as planned. Wilson, meanwhile, also says the documentary crew will shoot around the very pregnant Kinsey. She’s due in May or so, meaning she has a lot of desk time ahead of her or the plot could take a Jerry Springer-ish turn, as dos Santos predicts. “Who’s the Baby Daddy” is not a listed upcoming episode, for the record.
…Brian Baumgartner kept busy during the strike by returning to his Minneapolis roots as a celebrity judge on Last Comic Standing. He was joined by Kate “Meredith” Flannery. (Kinsey and Oscar Nunez also did the show in L.A., by the way.)”I got incredibly lucky moving to Los Angeles and finding the show right away, but I worked long and hard here in Minnesota,” Baumgartner told KARE-11.
…Speaking of Flannery, the latest installment of her blog is up at TVGuide.com, where she must be the show’s longest running cast blogger. Fischer and Novak preceded her. She talks about the strike and where she’s been and what she’s been up to. She seems very sweet and down-to-earth, which almost makes up for her being from Philly (just kidding!).
