"i didn't feel much when i held astrid,

[falulatonks]

but i got a good feeling from holly." ♥

I was apprehensive about Baby Shower after I watched the promo for it, because it was pretty over-the-top, but everything toned down considerably after the cold open, which I was happy about. A lot of this week's episode struck me as totally right somehow - though not all of it - and I enjoyed it. :D

Michael/Holly is kind of the most adorable thing in the world - the way he hugged her and the way she kind of teared made me want to hug both of them, too. GAH, why so cute, people?! HAVE BABIESSSS. Please? For Michael? :D

Michael with babies is adorable and I really want to see Steve with Angela's baby now because of the stories she said about how he holds out her finger to Isabelle and she grasps it and he goes "AAHHHH YOU'RE HURTING IT" all fakely and fun and she keeps staring at him because he likes making faces at her egh so cute and how about Isabelle making yakky noises to John all the time like they're best friends or something and EGH SO CUTE I'm turning into KELLY.

The Jim/Pam tag was wonderful, too. I was expecting angst after the various depressing comments I found, but this was perfect - sweet in a sad sort of way, except not really, because even when they're out-of-sync they're too in-sync. Three reasons (of many) why people should not be worrying about them -

• "Is it just me, or are we off today?" No miscommunication problems there, my friends.
• The 'incident' at the laundry - Pam remembers it as the time "that crazy guy pushed (Jim)", and Jim remembers it as the time "that crazy guy yelled at (Pam)". Aw.
• "I miss you." Pam wants to be "home". Aw.
• (bonus!) THE ENGAGEMENT RING THAT SHONE WHEN SHE WAS FOLDING LAUNDRY. IT'S ON HER FINGER.

You worriers are crazy. And, you know, there are people who are just searching for reasons to say they'll break up, which is just sick and wrong and mean and I hate you. I hate you all.

Is it just me or are Andy/Angela getting a little cuter? Damn it.

I'll be missing next week's episode and won't watch it for another four or five days. Because I'll be in INDIA. OMGYAY.

I just--aagh, I have been burned before, quite badly. (THANKS A LOT, GILMORE GIRLS.) I am just going to hold on to hope that these writers are smart enough to give them normal ups and downs without being all melodramatic and ruining everything.

(It's just...but what about Philly Jim? They both have hopes and dreams! I just dunno how they're going to achieve their goals, stay together and stay in Scranton. It's all very mysterious. Potentially well-written goodness, but also potentially a big fail. D: D: D:)
