On this week's How I Met Your Mother, Ted's legendary overzealousness with love blew up in his face in a text-messaging epic prank (but that's another post). However, what made him a victim was the fact that his friends knew he would violate the "three day rule" that says you must wait three days before calling or texting someone you just met (I guess the Swingers two-day rule is passé now, huh?).
So aside from Ted's uber-dorky use of the term "texty-text," what we really need to discuss is this rule.

The geekiness of the How I Met Your Mother crew never ceases to amaze me. The Christmas break gave me ample opportunity to watch old seasons of the show and I came upon one of the most fabulous, relatable scenes — relatable if you're as obsessed with TiVo as I am.
That end threat, BTW — I make that one too.

Maintaining a healthy, successful and mutually beneficial relationship with your WiFi connection can be a lot of work. In fact, it can feel a whole lot like your love life. My years of dating and battling my WiFi have taught me all about mixed signals, interference from third parties, the coveted honeymoon phase and eventually (or hopefully) that relationship pinnacle of a monogamous, working relationship that everyone can smile about.

On this week's How I Met Your Mother, two things were shown that frightened me: Strange, naked men and an iPhone being dropped in a toilet. Thank god it was just Hollywood make-believe.
What's also funny about the HIMYM incident is that even though a vengeful woman deliberately drops Barney's phone in the loo, I have had far too many friends to count, accidentally drop their phones into the toilet.

On this week's How I Met Your Mother, Ted got ready to move out and had to evaluate all the stuff that the girls told him Stella would find dumb (seriously, she's not the mother, right? Right?!). One thing no one cool could find dumb was the first thing he pulled out — the robot cookie jar!

I'm tingling for tonight's return of How I Met Your Mother — even though I'm most psyched to see what happens with Barney and Robin (remember his geeky reaction to their one night stand?), I'm also curious to see if Stella accepts Ted's marriage proposal.
From the looks of this photo, all I can say is that if they're in a video game arcade, all signs point to yes! Video game arcades remain for me, the most romantic places ever.

If I wanted to, I could probably do a TV tech quiz for How I Met Your Mother — you wouldn't think, but this ensemble of friends in NYC is pretty wired — especially my favorite character, Barney. I've Ioved NPH since Doogie Howser, MD, and as Barney I love him more — he's got an iPhone, a MacBook Pro — and talks in tech (and text) speak 24/7! A little bit creep but a lot of geek, Barney killed me in this clip from last week's episode after a scandalous romp with Ted's ex-girlfriend Robin.
