Pam: Yeah, I gave him a ride home because ... we're dating. Jim: Wow! There it is. Pam: Ah, yeah. We haven't told anybody, but it's going really great. Right? Jim: It is going really great.
I thought that lovely Jim Halpert quote was fitting. I'm not gonna lie, kids. I couldn't watch the entire episode last night. I started watching and five seconds into seeing Roy leaning against Pam's desk, I had to stop the tape and hyperventilate. I'm sure the Jim and Dwight jokes were funny and Michael got off some good ones before he was humilated, but I just can't stomach them right now. Maybe later this weekend. I did, however, watch the scenes at Pam's art show. People may say that Pam getting back with Roy is a bad thing for Jim and Pam, but I think it's great. Pam is lonely, frustrated and vulnerable. She needs to remember that it was the right decision to not marry Roy. She needs to buck up (get some courage and honesty, thank you Gil) and start telling everyone the truth. I think that she is slowly beginning to realize that. Here's the long and short of Pam's art show: if Michael Scott was the only one who knew the right thing to say, you know that there is something wrong. Try as he might, Roy just doesn't get it. Michael who knows as little about art as Roy does (possibly less), had a bad day and yet still came to support Pam. Because he knew that this was as important to her as Dunder-Mifflin is to him. And that's why I cried.
You know what commerical pisses me off more than anything? Any Altel commerical. I cannot stand commericals that bad mouth their competitors. (Hence why I also extremely dislike the new Mac commericals.) But these are just the worst. Having moved on from using bad look-a-likes of various other cell phone carriers spokespersons, they now have commericals featuring the mall salesmen of various cell phone carriers. Where as Sprint, Verizon, Teen Mobile and Cingular have pimply, nerdy college students as their salesmen, Altel has a confident, well-dressed, borderline good looking college graduate as their salesman. (I am speculating about their states in higher education based upon the image that is trying to be projected.) I'm sorry, would you want someone who looks like they played soccer in college and now that they've graduated can only get a job selling cell phones in a mall as a symbol of your ability to provide good wireless service? Those college kids need a job and probably design computer viruses for fun. I'd trust them over "this is the only job I'm qualified for" guy. There is no degree for being a cell phone salesmen, sorry. Owning your own store, sure. But this guy? The only thing these commericals do for me is make me even more adamant about never using Altel as my cell phone carrier. I'm begging you AT&T take them over! Until then, maybe they could try having a more friendly commerical. Because, it's Valentine's Day, now where's love?
"An old chemist doesn't die. He just reaches equilibrium."
I found this gem on the wall in a professor's office. Chemists are so funny in a cheesy way.
How happy does Prison Break make me? Very. I'm going to miss it when the season ends. Maybe by then Michael Scott will be the only thing that makes me cringe on The Office.
I read a fanfic the other day and it got me thinking about crossovers. Imagine, if you will, a crossover between My Name is Earl and The Office. Something on Earl's list dictates that he needs to fix things between Pam and Jim. Maybe he broke up one of Karen's previous relationships or accidently gave Pam bad advice where Jim was concerned. Oh, the possibilities! Or imagine a crossover between Prison Break and 24. Jack Bauer exposes The Company and kills the evil President setting Lincoln and Michael free!
Prison Break has made me very happy as of late. I have no complaints. Only happiness.
The Office, on the other hand, is slowly killing me. If it weren't for the perpherial characters and Michael Scott, I could be frustrated enough not to watch. But I still will, because I love it. I have, however, lost all respect for Karen. I don't care how many other things Jim might have said, if I guy I had been dating for only a few months told me that he still had feelings for someone we worked with, I would be outta there. But then again, the girl moved to Scranton for a guy that she just started dating. She is a little crazy. Jim is also slipping in my book because he had the perfect opportunity to quit before things got really ugly and he blew it. I'm sure he likes Karen, but does he really think that things are actually going to end well? Five minutes with Pam and he's right back to where he started in May. I swear, the only thing that will ever break this cycle is Pam growing a pair and telling Jim the truth. It's her turn anyway. I may develop trichotillomania waiting for that to happen.
In other news, I'm loving Christina Aguilera right now.
If you saw Michael Scott coming out of a women's restroom, what would you think? Yes, I too would think that he was confused. However, apparently "the men's room was disgusting."
Random thoughts: Dwight and Jim make a fantastic sales team. Angela is very sweet when she's happy. I feel a little sorry for Karen. Jim is amazing at making half truths seem like the whole truth. And using flattery to smooth over the whole presentation. I want to clamp Andy's face in a George Foreman grill.
Pam, you are the only one who can make this whole thing right! You are the only one who can save Dwight. Get Jim and Michael on board and you're golden.
Oh, and the icon is Jim reaction to Karen's "makeover." Interpret that as you will.
I almost went for the smuggling contraband in diapers, but I figured that was more suited for my sister.
Before I forget, I'm going to do my 2006 music meme.

Thursday, new episode of the office. Eighteen days 'til Prison Break returns. Hooray for January.
"Truthiness is contagious and I haven't washed my hands in weeks." Oh, Stephen.
Daily Show side note: I hope Ed Helms is just doing the Daily Show because The Office is on a shooting break. I would cry if Andy's stint comes to an end anytime soon. I love him. In a completely different way than I love Jim Halpert, but still. The love is there.
