Two weeks and seven seasons later...

Recently I wrote about how I'd marry John Krasinski/ Jim Halpert. Well after I wrote that post I had the urge to watch The Office. So I started on season one and worked my way to through season seven and into the latest episodes in season eight. It was a good time. I had some good laughs and I mooned over Jim just a little too much. But it was nice to get caught back up. I got distracted by other things somewhere around season five or six.

And because I just watched all the seasons, they are fresh in my mind and I've come away with a few of my own observations/opinions.

• Jim is pretty much awesome.
• The chemistry between Jim and Dwight is much more interesting than between Dwight and Michael.
• Even after they're married, Jim and Pam are fun to watch.
• Later seasons aren't as funny as earlier seasons.
• Michael is more interesting, more rounded, and more mature in later seasons. He's not as annoying.
• Even after they're married, Jim and Pam are interesting to watch.
• Andy is better as Regional Manager. Or maybe he's just more fun to watch.
• Dwight considers Pam a friend even though she married his "mortal enemy", Jim.

I know this is only a handful but I wasn't planning on this post when I watched the series or else I would have taken notes.

It was a good time, I'll admit. Even though the series is kind of on the downhill slide, I still enjoy it. Life is like that, always changing. And TV shows, unfortunately, always have their day in the sun before the world moves on and gets a new show. But for now, I'll keep enjoying The Office while it's on. :)

My all time favorite quote from the series... also the one I remembered the most. :)

"I bought the boat tickets the day I saw that YouTube video. I knew we'd need a backup plan. The boat was actually plan C. The church was plan B. And plan A was marring her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her." -Jim Halpert (Love it!!)

So there you go. A random post about The Office and my disconnected thoughts. And just because I can't help myself...

I know. I'm hopeless...

A Girl's Kryptonite

I like boys/guys/men. If you read my blog regularly (or if you know me personally) you should know this already. And you should know that I'm a huge fan of Bones. (Don't worry, this isn't so much a Bones-centric post as a mention.)

Well, I was watching the Bones season seven premier a few weeks ago with my friend, Michelle, and there was this scene where the hunky Dr. Hodgins is shown in a home video with his new baby. And he's sitting on the floor in jeans and a tee-shirt playing with his son. Most. Adorable. Thing. Ever.

I commented to Michelle how hot guys with kids are kind of a girl's kryptonite. Of course, married guys with kids... well, we're not really allowed to be attracted to married guys. Not really anyway. *shifty eyes*

But because this is fiction and it's Hodgins, we're allowed to drool a little by the sight of this burly man playing with his five to eight (not entirely sure the timeline of the show) month old child. And his biceps flexing and his shirt-sleeves...

[Remember how I sort of have a thing for beautiful arms?]

Maybe it's the potential mothers within us (girls) that draws us to men that are good (not in a pervy kind of way) with kids. We want to know that our husbands, our children's fathers are going to be good with their kids. That they're going to interact with them.

Maybe I'm being my own delusional self but I just felt like putting this out there. That girls can be affected by hot guys with kids/babies. Or maybe girls can be affected by Hodgins [T.J. Thyne] and his son.

Anyway, that's all I wanted to babble about.

Until Next Time,

The Hopeless Romantic

P.S. I wish I had a picture to show you but I don't. Sorry.
