I Don't Like Mondays

Meh.

This is my favourite song today. Isn't it perfect for our favourite fictional couple Barney and Robin (since we have no lives of our own).



We need a new contest or something. Our blog is struggling, all thanks to YOU.

HIMYM Review: "Murtaugh"

I've decided that the best way to review this episode is by character plot line. Be warned, there will be sub-plot line character headings as well. All-in-all, this was the best episode since The Possimpible, but definitely not up to par with many of the others earlier in this season. Is it just me, or was the start of the season AMAZING, and then went downhill? I'm glad that they didn't overuse the flashbacks this episode, like they have been doing a lot lately.

Barney/Ted/Robin

So Barney, after being kicked out of his Laser Tag Club for breaking rules is told by Ted that he is too old for Laser Tag. It is then added to the "Murtaugh List" of stuff that they are too old to do. Barney takes it upon himself to do all the items on the list within 24 hours. Ted is then challenged to do the items on the list Barney makes of things that he is too young to do. There is a bet somewhere in here.

Ted

Ted was actually hilarious this episode. More so than in a very long time. Renee said, and I agree, that he is funny when he isn't taking everything too seriously. Funniest Moment: When he goes to answer the phone REALLY slowly. 

Barney 

Barney was pretty funny tonight, but it felt almost a little forced sometimes. (Sorry NPH! I have to be critical. But if you ever read this, you were actually amazing, as per use.) I was very glad to see that he still plays laser tag, since that hasn't been mentioned since, like, season 1. I did like his earring, but his hair and clothes were no good. Favourite moment: Just a short clip. When he was in laser and had his foot on the kid while shooting her. I also loved the High Score Board that had Stinson listed for every single high score, ever.

Robin

Robin didn't really have a big part in this episode. She was just there with Barney the whole time (yay!). I like to see them spending time together. But I wish that they mentioned that Barney is in love with her sometimes. Just casually, you know? I am also, sorry to say, sick of the Canadian jokes. Mainly because the writers are overusing them and they are always the same ones. I want original ones! "Something about fur trapping." Favourite moment: Her rave outfit. Sort of reminded me of Robin Sparkles. And the blinky light in her mouth was awesome. 

Barney/Robin

This deserves its own heading. As previously mentioned, no references to their relationship, but it was nice to see them together the entire episode. Favourite moment: Their answering machine message. They are so cute together!

Lily/Marshall

These two didn't even interact with the other characters this episode, which was sort of weird. Basically, Marshall takes over as the new basketball coach for Lily's kindergarten class at Lily's request, because she wants to observe him with children and give him practice for the future. Anyways, he's super hard on the kids and angry Marshall is HILARIOUS. Favourite moment: How the story changes with time and the competing team are all adults. I also love the creative ways of hiding Alyson Hannigan's belly: a guitar, orange slices, basketballs, a giant scarf. 

Wow, what a long and impressive post I just wrote!

Peace, Gab

PS: My prediction for Barney's Blog update this week: The Murtaugh List, and, potentially, the Too Young List (did this one have a name?)

Gab needs to get over it!

FOR THE LAST TIME, HE IS NOT HOT. I'm sorry. He's funny and talented and everything, but not hot. He actually looks a little bit like a corpse.

Now, if you want to transfer your affections to someone deserving, I have a few suggestions. Adam Lambert, John Krasinski, Adam Lambert, David Cook, Adam Lambert...any one of these men I would be more than willing to share with my bestie.

I'm so excited about when you come home! (and p.s. I was creeping your facebook wall, and none of your other friends even know when you get back, they're all like, "When do you come home?" Nerds!)

I saw Great Big Sea in concert. They were so good!

Grey's Anatomy was awesome! Owen is hot!

It's kind of late.

I'm going to see I Love You Man tomorrow. I can't wait until the HIMYM finale!!!

Robin: If he's missing some teeth, I'm missing my pants (favourite line right now)

I miss you!

Cheat Post: Two in a row

Are we allowed to do that? Well, whatever, I'm bored. I found this online anagrammer thing and it's AWESOME man like so awesome. I won't put our names up in case some creeper sketchy stalker man (or woman, I guess) that's pro at anagramming solves our names and comes to our respective houses and kills us, respectively. But there are some other good ones, such as:

Barney Stinson - Tyrannise snob
Robin Scherbatsky - Oh shabby trickers
Neil Patrick Harris - This crankier April
Harry James Potter - Joy! Trash tramperer
William Shakespeare - He's like a lamp, I swear

And my personal favourites:

How I Met Your Mother - Yummier whore to hot
George Bush - He bugs Gore
