How I Met Your Mother

I was finally able to watch this week's episode of How I Met Your Mother and my goodness was I in for some surprises. The return of Robin's previous teenage self "Robin Sparkles" the Canadian pop star returned this week in a fun look back of Robin's first boyfriend. A surprisingly funny, James Van Der Beek, played an aging singer (for a group called Foreskins), who visits Robin in New York. Same old story, she loved, he broke her heart, summer romance and so on. Also Simon was her love interest in her video. The funny part was not just Van Der Beek's Canadian accent (although that was hilarious), it was once again the idea of Robin as a "pop" princess.


Here is my worry; at the end of the episode Barney and Robin watch the video (Sandcastles in the Sand, seriously funny) together after Robin is once again dumped by Simon. The two (Robin and Barney) end up making out. Is this going to ruin the awesomeness that is Barney? It does seem as if the two of them have always fit together well but are we ready for a Barney and Robin romance? Or will this just be a hook up? I guess only time will tell with this one.

I love the word Revertigo! This is a new word made up by Marshall as he tries to explain what happens to people when they get around old high school friends. We (everyone does it) all have a tendency to Revert back to our high school persona (as Robin did with Simon and Lily apparently does with her friend Michelle), thus was born Revertigo. Love the explanation and love the word. Lets see where the Robin and Barney thing goes next week. Til then.
