In The Air Tonight

I can feel it coming in the air tonight.  Remember that creepy song?  What was he even talking about anyway?  Actually while I’m on the subject of mysterious Phil Collins songs, what the heck is a Sussudio?  I’ve always wanted to know. 

Either way, I love you Phil, and your depressing love songs:

So what is it that I’m feeling in the air tonight?

Fall.  Autumn.  It doesn’t matter what you call it because it all means the same thing.  Summer is almost over and that makes me want to cry.

Everywhere I look there are back to school ads.  It is unavoidable.  Trust me, I’ve tried not to see them, but they just won’t go away.

This chilly weather is pretty much all I needed to push me over the edge into a dark pit of depression.  (Guess who didn’t get in touch with her doctor for some happy pills?)

Just when I think things can’t get any worse, I tune into the Olympics Opening Ceremonies to find out that my favorite fish (Michael Phelps) is too busy resting for his early morning event to be there.  What kind of lame excuse is that?

I almost turned the tv off right there and then but it was such an amazing spectacle that I couldn’t do it.  You know what?  I’m glad I didn’t turn it off because hidden in the middle of one of the commercial breaks was a reason to go on living. 

What was this reason? 

Oh just a little promo video for the best show ever– The Office.  Did anyone else catch that?  Oh how I love my Jim and Dwight and their tumultuous relationship.    

Knowing that there are new episodes of The Office coming makes the end of summer just a little bit easier to bear. 

I couldn’t find the commercial so I’m putting up this Jim vs Dwight video for all The Office fans out there that may need a fix:
