Ah, here I am back writing at the blog after the hiatus brought along by the assignment of last week’s Writing for the Media class. What have I been up to? Well, I have started watching the first season of “How I Met Your Mother”. I must say, that is an addicting show, not because of a compelling serial plotline, but because of the quality of the show. The humour isn’t over your head, but it’s not completely stupid either. I also find this show quite original (as original as a sitcom can be I suppose). It revolves around a guy named Ted who is telling his children in the year 2030 about how he met their mother. Most of the show is about Ted when is in his later twenties and living with one of his best friends, Marshall, who is engaged to Lilly, and Ted also hangs out with lady’s man Barney (Neil Patrick Harris!) and Robin, the woman he thought was “the one” but now they are just friends with an awkward romantic tension between them (a situation which I tend to refer to typical to Ross and Rachel from “Friends”). All of this is current where I am now in the middle of season 1. Some spoilers were released to me as to what happens and I know that some things change. I will not release those here just in case I have peaked your interest of the show and I don’t want to ruin anything.
Nevertheless, this wonderful television program and provides yet another distraction for me to procrastinate with. However, I am okay with this because I can do it simultaneously with other distractions that I do daily, like Facebook. Once again, I can hear another episode calling my name. What are the chances that I will be able to multi-task that while doing homework? I am pretty optimistic.
