Guys I Don’t Like Almost Anything About This HIMYM Article
Have you all read this yet? It’s pretty much full of do not wants. It was published on March 18th so I’m a bit behind the curve but take a look if you haven’t already: The last two episodes of How I Met Your Mother’s eighth season may be titled “Something Old” (airing May 6 … Continue reading »
HIMYM Meets Anna Karenina

Baseball Is Good For Your Soul
I love baseball because I’m a lyrical soul…granted, I’m a Cubs fan, and not a Red Sox fan like Jimmy, but it still works. Ben: I like being part of something that’s bigger than me – than I. It’s good for your soul to invest in something that you can’t control. Lindsay: You’re a romantic. … Continue reading »

I Have Books
I don’t play sports. I don’t exactly have a ton of friends. I have books. You don’t read – you don’t understand. You don’t know what it’s like to live in different worlds. To travel on great adventures through the galaxy, with people you know better than you know your own family. To live and … Continue reading »

Anonymous Meets HIMYM – Suit Up!
I really thought that someone must have already made one of these, but I couldn’t find anything anywhere. So, I crafted one myself! Here’s my take on Barney Stinson plus the Anonymous logo…what do you think? Thanks to SirFilth on Deviant Art for the vector! PS – I know Anonymous is anti-establishment and … Continue reading »
How I Met Your Mother: Trying To Survive
Sometimes HIMYM offers random bits of truth that really resonate with me. This quote from season 3, episode 1 “Wait For It” is just one example. It feels…I don’t know, heartbreaking, I guess, in its simplicity. Can you relate? Ted: You weren’t trying to win the breakup? Robin: I was trying to survive it.

This Is Exactly How Tired I Am Today (Big Bang Theory)
Raj: Why did you put six sugars in your coffee? Leonard: Because the cafeteria doesn’t offer little packets of methamphetamine. Note – I do not, of course, actually do meth. Or endorse it. But sometimes my coffee is so saturated with sugar and espresso shots that it might run a bit on the speedy side. … Continue reading »
Regarding My Mother

Best Father Ever? Oh Yeah #ThatsMyDad
Obviously it’s true, because Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has featured not one, not two, but THREE of my father/daughter tweets on their site. This clearly demonstrates how my dad and I are three times as awesome as most other people. (Sorry, non-awesomes, we just can’t help it!) I am still not the proud author … Continue reading »
I ♥ Myself :)
And so can you! Sorry, that phrase has been stuck in my head ever since I first heard about Stephen Colbert’s book I Am A Pole – (And So Can You!) Anyway, saw this on the street and it made me extra happy. Hopefully it will make you extra happy, too.
WTF Big Bang Theory? (re: Bernadette)
I’m seriously annoyed with the Big Bang Theory writers! Some of my displeasure was expressed in my post “Big Bang Theory Discrepancies Distress Me“, but last week’s episode brought the same issues up again. “The Stag Convergence” focused on Bernadette’s apparent surprise at Howard’s shady past: Bernadette: When I first met Howard, he seemed so innocent … Continue reading »
