Teddy, Teddy, Teddy
Listening to: The Album Leaf - Into the Blue AgainJennie and I have been watching a lot of How I Met Your Mother over the last couple of weeks. There are some things I like about the show (Marshall, sometimes Lily) and there are many things I dislike about the show (Ted, Ted's stupid face, Ted's stupid brain). First of all, what the hell? The premise, that of a father telling his children the story of how he met their mother, is retarded. Not because a father shouldn't tell his kids how he met their mother, but because, in this case, he is not telling them how he met their mother. He is telling them about hundreds of random girls he's slept with and how he wasted most of his youth in a bar. If my dad was telling me stories about the time he almost had a three-way and how great it was to live in New York because there were so many easy women, I think I would a) tell him to get a life and quit living in the past and b) throw up on him.
The other part about the show that bothers me is that Ted is a selfish dickwad but everybody seems to think he's a saint. He breaks up with women willy-nilly and cheats and is generally exactly what you'd expect from some juicebag that hangs out in a bar every night. So, I guess I'm not really surprised by this revelation, but it does suck. Because I'm sure there are people all over attempting to emulate this great life that these guys have, only to find out that it is ridiculous and empty. Oh well. I don't really care, I suppose, it's just a frustrating show to watch. I guess I'll stop.
The Album Leaf is up in my 'Top Five Artists to Fall Asleep To', and not in a bad way. It (he) has a great sound, and it's so relaxing and beautiful that it is a perfect segue into a delightful dreamland of magic. I suppose this album is not my favorite of his, but it is still a very nice album to have in the background or simply as the soundtrack to a calm Saturday afternoon at home. Lovely sounds.

3 things:
"throw up on him" - definitely. i agree about the show. if i was a kid i would rather not know if my dad had this kind of life or not. we need good sitcoms...where did they all go? maybe they've always been few and far between.
Whatever happened to the days of Full House, Family Matters, and The Cosby Show? Alas, they are gone, and never coming back.
Have you watched The Big Bang Theory? It's probably our favorite of the last while.
i have watched it and it was pretty good. i like sheldon...i think he's supposed to be the favorite and i have been sucked right into that.
i'm still holding onto the Office....just loving Andy - the nard dog
