I’ve been thinking about changing all of my phone contact pictures to TV characters because I just really, really want this picture to appear when my dad calls.

Stopped at a red light while out for a run. A guy LEANS OUT HIS WINDOW so he’s RIGHT IN MY FACE (thanks for all the narrow streets, Pittsburgh), grins the CREEPIEST GRIN OF ALL TIME, says, “You’re out to get the men, aren’t ya?” and CACKLES.

“I didn’t watch the whole documentary. After a few episodes, it was too painful. I kept wanting to scream at Pam. It took me so long to do so many important things. It’s just hard to accept that I spent so many years being less happy than I could have been. Jim was five feet from my desk, and it took me four years to get to him. It’d be great if people saw this documentary and learned from my mistakes. Not that I’m a tragic person. I’m really happy now, but it would just, just, make my heart soar if someone out there saw this and she said to herself, be strong, trust yourself, love yourself, conquer your fears. Just go after what you want. And act fast because life just isn’t that long.”

Confirmed: 'HIMYM' Season 9 Will Only Span Wedding Weekend | TV Line

Confirmed: 'HIMYM' Season 9 Will Only Span Wedding Weekend | TV Line:

popculturebrain:

CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler has now confirmed for TVLine that Season 9′s entire run will, in fact, span the wedding weekend and just the wedding weekend, as the comedy details “how each character, before Ted, meets the mother. So, they each meet her independently before he does.”

UGH. 24 episodes of a 56-hour weekend. Does that make sense to anyone? They’ll have to do some episodes outside of the weekend timeline. How could there be enough stories otherwise? Are Marshall and Lilly going to argue about not going to Rome for the entire season?

You know what? I’m intrigued enough to bite. For a show that’s done some awesome storytelling, it might be a good writing challenge, especially seeing as how what used to work for them seems to have stopped working (as well as it used to). Let’s do it.
