I keep seeing bits and pieces of various seasons of HIMYM, and maybe I should sit down and marathon it properly from beginning to end, but I'm up to date enough to have opinions! What ever stops us from having opinions?

This piece about the actress playing The Mother is a great read; she comes across really cool and down to earth and level-headed. I'm glad they didn't go with a well-known name for this. The comments are strangely unkind and patently superficial -- I guess I didn't know this show had so many fans so invested in the looks of the mother. I don't think she's the most gorgeous person ever, but I still think she's really pretty?

Anyway, the comments screaming about spoilers makes me lol. This info aired 3 months ago on the Season 8 finale, guys.

Unrelated, so excited for fall to come and with it all the fall foods and drinks and fashions and flavors. :D

When I saw that scene on the finale I thought it was Jennifer Love Hewitt, whom I really don't like as an actress, so I'm glad it's this person who seems pretty cool! Amazing what the show went through in terms of secrecy with the casting of that role.

She looks a little like JLH! I'm also glad it's not her though hah. But yeah, as that reveal was pretty much The Moment the entire series was leading up to, I guess the secrecy makes sense. But now a whole season to convince everyone she's Ted's true love! (It is a pity I never liked Ted that much, so to me it might more be a whole season to convince me why she fell in love with Ted!)

I should confess, I kind of only follow HIMYM secondhand bc some of my family is so into it. I've seen episodes and parts of episodes (and I will never not crack up at "Ooooooh, Yobyn" lolol) but I don't have a real connection to Ted's whole arc.

Are you seeing any hockey this season? I have tickets to the Hawks at Caps (preseason) and to the Bruins v Caps game in Baltimore in September. (Also a Chicago home game when I'm there in October for work travel). Super excited!!!

Oooh, yes, I'm going to the Hawks at Caps preseason game too! :D With a small group of fans in the area, I think? That should be fun! Maybe we could all meet up briefly before or after the game? I think the plan was to watch them skate as much as we could...

I haven't bought any tickets for regular season games yet but I'll probably go to a Flyers home game or two, maybe commit to the drive down to Carolina for a home game there. Oh hockey season, come back to us!

I know approximately zero things about HIMYM, but I felt the need to leave a drive-by comment telling you that I approve of your icon. (KONO KALAKAUA, MY FOREVER GIRL.) :P

She is fabulous! (As is Grace Park ♥) I...forget that show is still on. What on earth have they been doing? :\
