I love Pam & Jim

I Pam & Jim of The Office.

They're both playful (but not destructive), sweet (but not cloying) and talented (and are starting to shine in their own ways). I love how they interact with each other -- Pam in the reception area, Jim at his desk.

I enjoyed the tension a lot in Seasons 1-3. It was heartbreaking, with neither timing working out for them just right, but hey, it paid off in the end. I think. Let's see what happens when The Office goes back to production. Please give the writers what they want!!!

This video on YouTube is lovely, lovely, lovely. It's Pam and Jim from the earlier seasons, with the title of the song "Almost Lover" very fitting.




Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, ever forget
These images

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

if someone walked on red hot coals for me, i'd marry her in a minute!

kainis itong writers' strike, bitin ang telenovela ni pam and jim!

Toni said...

spanx: YES! I loved that scene. I loved it when Pam told Jim IN HIS FACE she broke off her engagement for him. And I LOVED the follow-up scene in the next season, diba? *swoons*

Sana matapos na nga itong writers strike. Nakakabitin ang luv story nila. Pati yun kay Dwangela. :D
