I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, that would have been great, lisah.

While I am rooting for Barney/Robin, I hope Stella tells Ted that proposing after a "life-changing accident" made him realize he shouldn't have broken up with her is weak and dumps his ass. "Now I can give you what you need", piffle!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I don't necessarily want her to break up with him, but she damn well better tell him to put on the brakes for a bit.

The final moments? That look on Barney's face? Totally heart-melty, and I say that as someone who has always found Barney skating right on the edge of too skeevy and cruel to be funny. Never quite over that edge, because NPH is just too fun and engaging, plus the writers have been careful to give him just enough messed-up backstory and just enough secret good deeds to keep him on this side of it, but he's been uncomfortably close more than a few times.

But that look? Oh. Oh, dear. The poor noodle.

The look and not saying anything just letting them list everything he "loves". Very endearing. I'll be catching up on all the episodes I missed this summer, I think. Which is to say, most of them before this season.

Oh, my, yes. And I wasn't expecting it.

I, too, hope Stella gives him a, "Yeah... no." But I do like them together.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

From SNL: Ricky Gervais presents the Japanese version of The Office.

Translation.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I just finished season 1 of HIMYM. I laughed, I cried. I so did not expect to see Marshall sitting on the steps at the end. Then I saw Alexis Denisof's name in the credits and had to go back and watch again because I had not spotted him. I caught Amy Acker right away from her voice and her forearms but AD's fake-n-bake and his newsreader accent completely threw me. I knew that I knew the actor, but I had assumed he was a game show host!

Season two is on the way. I have no idea what to expect. What a difference watching every episode in order has made with my appreciation of this show.

So sad!

Awesomeness.

Does Venture Brothers go here? There's an interview with Jackson Publick on the AV Club site today. I, for one, can barely contain my excitement about the Season 3 premiere on Sunday.
