What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The TH where Pam was all "mock-up, splash screen, I don't know what I'm talking about"...she was so fucking adorable I wanted to reach through the TV and kiss her.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm a little worried that The Office is heading toward an emphasis on intra-office romantic relationships. Which could be a little too close to soap opera land to be good for the show.

Good for Ryan making it clear during the first minute that he is the boss now and no longer the intern/temp. Bad for Ryan deciding to get rid of Kelly because their break-up is getting messy. Also bad for Ryan positioning the changes as an emphasis on youth as opposed to joining the 20th century. Jury's still out on having Pam work on the logo -- we'll see if he tries to grab all the credit.

I see Ryan trying to get rid of Michael in the near future.

I'm not so sure I felt the mild sympathy for Michael that I usually feel. Probably because his motives are usually to do the right thing towards other people. This time, he was trying to benefit himself at least as much as (if not more than) anyone else.

Pam looked great yesterday, though, didn't she?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Oh, yes. And her excitement over designing the logo was great to see. Shame Ryan spoiled it by asking her out.

Do you think he'll rescind his offer of having her design the logo now that he knows she's not available?

Oh, hi! I just started watching The Office last night!

I hope not. Did anyone see this design on her sketchpad?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Every episode, I love Marc a little more.

The actor went to school with my friend's boyfriend. They apparently still chat.

I'm a little worried that The Office is heading toward an emphasis on intra-office romantic relationships. Which could be a little too close to soap opera land to be good for the show.

I thought that was part of the joke with the memo- that nearly every one was having an intra-office romance.

I loved Jim when he said he didn't want to be hip like Ryan. But I love Jim anyway...I want one!

I loved the shit eating grin he had after, "well, maybe not any girl he wants."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Ugly Betty:

he played James (dead angry 1950s lovesick ghost boy) in I Only Have Eyes For You.

Whoa, seriously?? Cool! This calls for a rewatch, of course. I think my crush on Henry rivals my crush on season-2 Jim Halpert, which is no small feat. So why do you think Betty was hesitating in that last scene? Just upset over the situation with her dad and Wilhelmina and Daniel, or is she really having second thoughts about Henry? (No!)

Every episode, I love Marc a little more.

I know -- and Amanda, too! I think those two are the best comedic actors in the cast. Marc really shone in that scene with Justin; I love that Justin is the one who brings out his softer side.

So what do you think Justin meant when he told the guy at the store that he's nothing like his dad? Because Santos was such a guy, and Justin is "swishy"? That's what I got from the bit with the basketball, although the way Justin said "I'm nothing like him" made me think there was more to the story. Does Justin have a secret???

I continue to be impressed with how they've been handling Alexis's storyline. After the last episode, I was a little afraid that she'd be freaked out about being Alexis and not Alex any longer, but I really liked seeing how happy she was with her body in this episode.

Also, there is NO WAY they would kill Betty's dad, after killing Santos. Right?

Meep! I don't think so, but I admit I'm a little worried. But then if he dies, Betty has no reason to keep Wilhelmina's secret anymore, so I don't think they'll go that route.
