I didn't think I really had anything to say about The Office, but I've been reading other people's reactions and I figured I'd chime in, too.
Count me among those who absolutely loves where this Jim/Pam thing is going. I like Karen, and I enjoy how she's sort of the anti-Pam for Jim, but in a completely different way than Katy was. Katy was sort of just Jim's own version of Roy. Karen is the opposite of Pam, too, but in less obvious ways, I think. Plus, she's endeared herself to me immeasurably just by falling for Jim. Honestly, what kind of girl would she be if she didn't? :p
The other thing I really liked was the way Jim kind of stopped himself from just leaving, and made himself flirt with Karen a little. He wants to do it, but he also kinda doesn't want to do it, but he knows he should, you know? I love that. And also, I'm anxious for when Jim inevitably returns to Scranton, hopefully with a girlfriend along for the merge, too. Except, this time, I want Jim to actually like his girlfriend, while still managing to be friends with Pam.
I know everybody wants caps of Dwight and the Liar sign, but I really want an icon of the computer screen that said "You have killed Jim Halpert." Are there caps around yet?
Heh, and? Michael was a little bit awesome in this episode, I think. I like it when they play him a little smart, or rather, I like when they give us glimpses of why the hell he ever got promoted in the first place. Also, I love Dwight, but I think I love him a little bit less when Jim isn't around. The whole thing where he took charge would have been funnier if Jim had been around to torment him about it.
Other things:
1. I really like Beck's new album, but I think I like the design-your-own-liner-notes-on-Beck's-new-album even better.
2. I've been watching Supernatural again because the Winchester brothers are very pretty when they angst, and because it's fun harassing Ashley about evil clowns.
3. My boss had a nice chat with me today at lunch about how I close myself off in groups of people and I need to stop doing that and get some self-confidence already. Now, if only he'd tell me how to do that, I'd be in business. :p
4. Ashley and I got tickets to see Death Cab in November! We have failed to do this every single time they've ever come around before, so yay for that.
5. I think the weather might be out to ruin my DC plans for tomorrow. I still really want to go, but I'm not sure how interested I am in walking around the mall in the cold wind and rain. Plus, my favorite museum is closed for renovations for the next two years or something. Which is LAME, by the way.
6. I'm so sick of working every single Friday night. I would much rather see The Departed tonight than work.
