You just made my hair awesome.
Now that Lost is on hiatus, thank goodness for new episodes of How I Met Your Mother. I finally sat down with my DVR last night and caught up on the last six episodes, culminating in the one with Britney Spears' much ballyhooed guest appearance. She wasn't terrible, I suppose, but her role and her character seemed so contrived. Obviously her appearance was a ratings grab and nothing more, and it worked, which all but ensures another season of the show. As a means to an end, I can live with that. But watching her really makes you appreciate good acting.
There are two things I want to mention about the last two episodes.
In the St. Patrick's Day episode where Ted and Barney are at the bar, did anyone else catch when Ted bumped into that girl in the middle of the episode? Does anyone else think that that's the mother?
In this week's episode, the two-minute date was vintage Ted, and the show used Big Star's "Thirteen" (probably my favorite song of all-time) perfectly. I almost cried, and I definitely watched that scene about 5 times. It might be my favorite episode of the series so far. Crazy how Sarah Chalke's character almost went to Alicia Silverstone. Too bad she's not the mother, though.
