April Challenge #23

I went looking for signs of Entropy in Little Rock, AR. But let me tell you, the place is an up and coming city. I stayed at the downtown Marriott Courtyard which is directly across from the River Walk and there is so much construction going on to improve the area it was hard to find something to represent Entropy today. But I did find it. I was walking along and noticed that one of the spikes was missing from a decorative cast iron fence/wall. So I got out my camera and took a few shots. This is the one that I didn’t choose because I wanted the one with the missing spike to be in focus and my POS wouldn’t cooperate. It worked fin shooting the other way.

I think the second one works much better because of the reflection int he window and the long row of spikes. It just isn’t the exact way I want it to be seen.

HIMYM: Sandcastles in the Sand

Major Spoiler at the bottom, in Bold. Don’t read if you haven’t seen the episode.

Last night was the highly anticipated return of Robin Sparkles. That was the hype behind this episode however that wasn’t the biggest surprise. I missed the first 6 minutes and came in when Robin was sitting in the bar with James Vanderbeek who played Simon, a love interest from long ago who dumped robin over another girl because her parent’s got a pool. I caught Marshall’s explanation of “Revertigo”, which I think should be a thing and it should catch on.

This episode also had some great cameos from major 80’s players like Tiffany and Alan Thicke. They were both in the Robin Sparkles video. And if you go to the Robin Sparkles MySpace page, Tiffany is in Robin’s top 8. And it is THE Tiffany which makes it even better.

Here is the latest Robin Sparkles Video.

We see a few instances of ‘Revertigo’ including one of Lily’s which was hilarious and even funnier when you find out that her friend did the same thing.

Robin has the worst ‘Revertigo’ though and falls for Simon again and gets dumped, again, for the same girl, again, over a body of water, again. A ‘Jacuzze’. So Robin ends up in the bar alone and Barney arrives. He comforts her and Robin whispers something in his ear and he lights up like Times Square. They go back to her place and Barney gets to see the second Robin Sparkles video. They watch it over and over and over again until finally.

They start making out!!! I called that way back over the Shabotsky welcome mat incident. I know it was Barney who replaced that welcome mat for her. I am very happy that they may be getting together. OF course you have to go through the angsty, I slept with womanizer Barney regret and all. But once that is over and done with I see them together, they work well as a couple.
