o1. UGH I AM SO SICK! I didn't work today because I am dying a slow and horrible cold related death. ALAS! *achoo*

o2. I realize that about 117 people have already done picspams of this but I just needed to share my own brand of over-analyzing insanity.

( HIMYM - 4.24 - The Leap - mostly Barney/Robin centric PICSPAM + massive commentary )

o3. Neil & David are the most adorable couple in the history of earth.

01. TV TONIGHT WAS KIND OF AWESOME!

( Brothers & Sisters - 3.21 - S3X. )

03. Neil. you are my favorite. I love how proud David looks. aw. Can I have the NPH/Jason Segel sex tape now plz? It's long.

04. And it's Music Monday!
♪ Patrick Wolf - Hard Times [This is new and fabulous!]
♪ Kyte - Solsbury Hill (Peter Gabriel cover) [This makes me feel kind of sappy.]
♪ Wave Machines - Keep The Lights On [It kind of has a 70s vibe that I'm really digging.]
♪ Bat For Lashes - Horse & I [I've been obsessively listening to BFL this week so I had to include something!]
♪ We Were Promised Jetpacks - Tiny Little Voices [This song just makes me happy!]
♪ Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Runaway [featured in tonight's ep of Gossip Girl]
♪ Bon Iver - Creature Feature [featured in tonight's ep of Chuck during that scene!]

01. I have just spent the last hour drinking wine and listening to Phosphorescent while thinking about life. lol. Oh Tuesday nights with your lack of good television. I never drink by myself ever because it seems weird to me (what's the point?)...but not when it's wine. Because wine just feels more classy. Or something.

02. Did anyone send me a text last week about going with them as their "date"(which may have been meant in lulzy way) to Blythe Spirit on broadway? I got this random text about that but I didn't know who it was from. It could have been from a friend whose number I just don't have or it could have been from a guy...which would have been awkward. So I didn't reply. Because I have this really awkward habit. If a guy asks me for my number and I think he's cute I'll give it to him with no intention of ever picking up when he calls. Because my life is kind of all over the place so I don't want to deal with guy issues on top of that, you know? But...NOEL COWARD! Oh my british playwright love. Maybe I should have just replied.

04. ( NPH suits up nicely )

05. ( Gossip Girl - 2.19 - The Grandfather + pretty )

05. ( HIMYM - 4.18 - Old King Clancy + sitting-next-to-each-other!pretty )

07. Ok, I realize that it's Tuesday but I finally got around to downloading a bunch of albums and I'm feeling very ~musical~ so here's some Music Monday songs...1 day belated:

♪ Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero
♪ Phoenix - Rome
♪ Maps - When You Leave [played at the end of 3.08 of Skins. This whole album is wonderful btw.]
♪ Little Boots - New In Town (Fred Falke Remix) [New catchy as hell single]
♪ The Decemberists - The Wanting Comes In Waves / Repaid [From the new album]
♪ Peter Bjorn and John - Lay It Down [from the new album]
♪ Fleet Foxes - So Long To The Headstrong [It's pretty and I've just been randomly listening to it a lot lately]
♪ Metric - Sick Muse
♪ Glasvegas - It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry [played at the end of of last week's Skins]
♪ Ida Maria - Oh My God [This GG ep just reminded me of this song. It's funny how TV can make you re-discover awesome songs you already had]

Glasvegas and Ida Maria are playing together this weekend in Bklyn. I think I might check that out.

So, due to a couple of different factors I'm off from work this week. Instead of trying to actually accomplish things I've been...picspamming. Yea, I know I am especially awesome at productivity.

There's another Barney/Robin picspam of this episode you should check out here made by oktoberskies(WHICH IS AWESOME!)! It's so great that all of this Barney/Robin love has been showing up this season (I personally never get tired of looking at picspams and things). In the past, it always felt like HIMYM was such a small show and had such a small fandom...and then this year it's just EXPLODED!
I blame NPH. hee!

( How I Met Your Mother - 4.14 - The Possimpible - Barney/Robin picspam )

I also uploaded a "NPH at his most awesome" mix for octoberskies and I figured I would post it for everyone.

♪ NPH is for awesome time! ♪

It's my 12 fav NPH tracks (not including Dr. Horrible).

1. Assassins - The Ballad Of Czolgosz
2. Assassins - The Ballad Of Booth
3. Calvin Berger - It Just Wasn't Meant To Happen
4. Cabaret - I Don't Care Much
5. Evening Primrose - If You Can Find Me, I'm Here
6. Evening Primrose - When?
7. Rent - Take Me or Leave Me (WITH DAVID BURTKA <3)
8. Sunday In The Park With George - Finishing The Hat
9. Sweeney Todd - Pirelli's Magical Elixer
10. Sweeney Todd - Not While I'm Around
11. tick, tick...BOOM! - Louder Than Words
12. tick, tick...BOOM! - Why

I was going to post this last night but then I decided to go to dinner and watch Lost at Endira's apartment. It's always better to watch that show with people...even though this ep was not as good as the last 2. I think the show should just focus on the awesomeness of Desmond/Daniel/Sawyer. Who cares about the oceanic six?

The Office and 30 Rock were pretty great tonight, but I'll talk about that later. GUH DON DRAPER <3

Now it's time for Skins! :D

01. Last Wednesday I went to go see The Decemberists! The concert was absolutely incredible! I went with Renee and we saw bisou there, it was great to see her again!
( Pictures from The Decemberists concert )

These are some great songs that were played that you guys might not have:
The Decemberists - Culling Of The Fold
The Decemberists - The Perfect Crime #2
The Decemberists - After The Bombs

02. Last night I went out to this concert thing that Endira was organizing for her job on 59th & Park. It was pretty low key since it was a choir of the visually impaired singing a Walt Whitman poem but it was nice to see what Endira really does at work. Afterward, we went out with her friend Diana from Sarah Lawrence and her boyfriend for Sushi and then drinks. The evening got pretty intense because Diana's boyfriend kept trying to argue with Endira and I about politics (he's a republican). Blargh! He wouldn't just let it go. I can't argue about politics all night long, it hurts my brain. Especially when the person you're arguing with doesn't even know his facts. sigh.

03. NPH made a brief appearance on Ellen last week and I never talked about! FOR SHAME
And Anderson Cooper was also on! Ellen knows how to bring the awesome, clearly!
( My bbs, Neil & Anderson on Ellen under the cut )

03. I finally finished the book I was reading, A Room With A View by E.M. Forster on the subway last night! So, today I downloaded the 1985 academy award winning film! I adored it! Although, I kind of figured that I would considering that I'm a big fan of most Merchant/Ivory that I've seen.

So, because I loved the book and the film so much I decided to picspam it! Hopefully this will encourage some of you to read/watch it!

04. Pretty!

05. More pretty!
