This week in TV - 2 nights of near panic attacks...

Hey everyone,

This will be one of the more random postings, just a heads up :)

I haven't been watching as many movies as I should these past couple weeks, but I have been watching plenty of television.

First off - American Idol - so glad Mariah Carey week is behind us now. (Though as much as I love showtunes, I am a bit leary for Andrew Lloyd Webber week next week...)

I was a bit bummed to see that Syesha didn't get kicked off yet, but I'm glad Kristy Lee Cook is gone. She always had a blank look in her eyes when she sang, which meant she wasn't connecting to the song, or the audience. As for Syesha, surely she must leave soon... she's so affected. I say that each week and when I watch her perform I usually find myself talking to the TV, trying to will her off the screen.

This week's results show had me worried for my new # 1 favorite, Jason Castro. (For the record, I still really, really like David Cook - and he did have the best performance the other night - but I'm gonna root for Castro from here on out. The guy's not going to win the whole thing, but he seems genuine and chill)

When Seacrest put Jason and David Cook in separate groups, I thought for sure Jason was going to be in the bottom 3. I didn't think he was going to go home, as all the guys did way better than the girls the other night, but I was really on the edge of my seat until the last couple minutes of the show.

Wow, that sounds really lame. But it's the truth. Oh American Idol...

But the biggest panic attack of the week came during this evening's episode of The Office. Pretty normal episode... Michael being weird about his break-up with Jan, etc... and then Jim and Pam joke about her moving in together... and then Pam says she's only going to move in if she's engaged... and then Jim jokes that he hasn't asked her yet... and then in his talking head, he busts out the RING.

And then the show went back to normal with Michael and Dwight talking about new chair models.

B.J. Novak, props to you for writing this episode... after last week's bizzare dinner party episode, this one gets back into the swing of things at the workplace and then, WHAM, the Jim/Pam storyline is back on track and moving forward full steam ahead.

Craziness.
