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.

Oh wow, that is so true!

You know? Dwight would have come out all "I'm in charge now MUAHAHAHAHA!" and Jim would have rolled his eyes and said something hilarious and already have five great pranks plotted out. :p

hahaha, i LOVE the clown thing because Phae is really creeped out by clowns. I'm like SO EASY TO SCARE and she mocks me for being terrified of the show so much but this week I wasn't AND SHE WAS. MWUHAHA.

Heeee. When Ashley and I went to the amusement park a couple weeks ago, they'd just started their whole Halloween thing, and there were all these rides with evil clowns, and I couldn't get her to go on them for ANYTHING. So, you know, last night was fun. :) Plus, I sort of love that Sam is afraid of clowns, too.

You are evil, you know that? I can't even begin to explain the terrifying fear I was in :P. Now imagine if I had actually gone into the "Last Laugh Factory"? Stew would have probably been deaf in one ear...

Well, take comfort in the fact that if there's ever an episode about evil killer snakes, I'll be terrified.

:p

What exactly do you think supernatural snakes would do?

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO TELL PEOPLE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THEM BEHIND YOUR BACK.

Once again you prove my very valid point.

WHATEVER. I won't succumb to your playground mind games!

I'll just pretend I don't care until I forget.

MAKE IT WORK!!!

Laura, Laura, Laura? Can we stop fighting for a second and have you do something for me instead? If your at home can you look at Phae's AtS S5 DVD's and tell me which disc has AHitW on it? I might get my brother to rent it for me tonight and I fail at finding that kind of info on the internets.

Disc 4. :) My DVDs just happen to be right next to my computer at the moment. :p

That's hilarious! For some reason I thought you didn't own S5. I guess it's another season you don't own. Either way, THANKS, HEATHER!!!

I actually only own S1 and S5. For whatever reason, I don't own S2, which is dumb because it's my favorite and it has my favorite episode (EVIL HAND!!) and I keep meaning to buy it, but it's never on sale and I just can't justify paying $50 for singing Lindsey and beige!Angel. :p

Oh yay, I'm glad Heather helped you out because I was at work. I am NOT glad, however, since that DVD was an incentive for you to visit me.

- ummmm. Clowns are evil. Hello? Don't act like they aren't terrifying. Clowns kill people, and you can't deny that.

- Death Cab :)

Clowns don't kill people, *I* kill people...wait. No, that's not right.

DEATH CAB!

Yeah, you do have a tendency to close yourself off, but I do the same sometimes too. I guess you just have to go out there and "practice"? Hmmm. My problem is I get stuck in a comfort routine. Like for social matters, like I used to ALWAYS go to Riordans. More than I go to Griffins. ANd like last weekend I went to TK Sharkys, which usually I do venture to often unless to play pool. But I ended up meeting a bunch of new fun people I probably wouldn't have met if I hadn't gone. Oh so maybe I meant more along the line of taking risks? I don't know :(

Yeah, I know. I recognize myself doing it, you know? But then I get even more self-conscious about it and it's this whole vicious cycle thing. :p

If only there was a cure for self-consciousness...I get that way too sometimes :/
