The How I Met Your Mother Blog

Hey guys, what’d I miss?

A small explanation of my absence: yes, I didn’t care much for last season. I liked the finale, but not enough to want to write about it. I was disappointed with the show overall. Honestly, I think if I discovered HIMYM now I might not love it as much as I did when I originally discovered it. Does that mean I don’t like it? No, I have a history with it and still love it dearly. I wasn’t boycotting the show or the site, I just didn’t much care for the end of last season and didn’t have very much to say. I wrote one negative review that you guys all hated so I figured I’d follow my own advice online and keep my negative opinions to myself.

The real cause of my absence had to do with my real life. I believe I shared that I’m now working at Vimeo and that has (happily) taken up a lot of my time. It’s super fun here but when I get home I don’t always have the energy to do more stuff online. I’ve also been working on some other projects which hopefully I can announce soon (hint: they’re awesome).

But none of that really matters. Season 6 is upon us and I’m skeptical, but excited. Articles in which Bays and Thomas admit that season five sucked are a good start. The return of Rachel Bilson is always welcome. Game-changing opening moments raise my eyebrows.

Other than that, how was everyone’s summer? Have you been watching True Blood? Brad looks good with his shirt off, huh?

To prove I haven’t been marooned on an island somewhere I have been active in other areas of the internet:

My blog – mostly about design and technology, but I think it’s interesting
Today in Bears – A blog about ursine culture
Vimeo Awards – this is a big deal

As was reported late last night on the official HIMYM Twitter and Facebook pages, the show has been picked up for another season. This is great news for us, them, and the world. Remember the old days when the show was on the bubble?
