mercury is in retrograde

I hardly ever watch TV by myself, unless it's Doctor Who.  This week, however, is apparently the week when my friends all try to hook me on shows that will eat up my homework time.  First with the Farscape, and then today one of my friends came over and she was like, "Have you ever seen How I Met Your Mother?" and since I had not, she took it upon herself to educate me.  OH MY GOODNESS.  I know several people, including my little brother, who are very addicted to this show, and now I see why.  It's hilarious, and the characters are really easy to care about.
