Met you at the mall
Didn’t know how far I would fall
My friends said I was a fool (you’re a fool) (shut up)
‘Cause you were older and got kicked out of school (you’re so rad)
Together we were gonna travel the globe
From Alberta to Ontario

But now I’m building sandcastles in the sand (sandcastles in the sand)
Thought I could fly when you held my hand (thought I could fly)
But now eternity turns to black and white
It was the greatest week and a half of my life

We used to go to the beach
Back when happiness was in our reach (so close)
On our favorite bench
We’d sit and talk and you taught me to French
You’re good at pullups and have radical hair
I hate my dad he’s so unfair (you don’t understand our love)

But now I’m building sandcastles in the sand (sandcastles in the sand)
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I was wrong)
Eternity turns to black and white
It was the greatest week and a half of my life

It’s crazy no one gets me
Castles wash away
Come back please
I’ve changed my mind
Let’s go all the way (I love you, let’s do it)
I miss you

Sandcastles in the sand (oh, I miss your hair)
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I thought you were the one)
Sandcastles wash away (I love you, let’s do it)
And all that’s left is some sand the next day
Sandcastles may be cute (I’m on the pill now)
But now all they do is remind me of you
(Let’s go all the way)
(You said it’d be okay)
(I’m sorry)
Sandcastles wash away

Weekend roundup

NPH was able to perform an appendectomy at age fourteen – he thinks he can handle a couple mushrooms:

The Huffington Post takes a look at Eyelab, the group that produces videos like this one for CBS – check out Barney’s favorite March Madness terms:

In other basketball news, NPH is out of contention in the semi-famous people office pool, with Alyson now fixed in last.

In stalkerazzi/HIMYM news, Alyson Hannigan stands somewhere, Neil Patrick Harris walks his dogs again, while having arms.

And, finally, cast appearances past and future: NPH was on NPR’s Wait…Don’t Tell Me [link for his segment about halfway down the page], where he talked about life after Doogie, coming out, and Harold and Kumar before playing a trivia game about famous pranks in British history.

This Thursday, Alyson Hannigan will be on The Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Ted Mosby: Not a Jerk.

Victoria [Ted's baker girlfriend from S1] has rounded up some of his other exes to tell the truth about Ted at tedmosbyisnotajerk.com. Unlike tedmosbyisajerk.com, this one doesn’t come from the creators of the show, but it’s a great read nonetheless!

From NJ.com: TedMosbyIsAJerk.com is a legendary idea

NJ.com talked to Carter Bays about tedmosbyisajerk.com and the Doogie Howser bit at the end of The Bracket:

TedMosbyisajerk.com had kind of the same origins as Barney’s Blog — it was initially just a joke in the script, nothing more. Then we realized if we’re saying “tedmosbyisajerk.com” on the show, we should buy that web address, just in case someone else bought it and threw a bunch of porn up there or something. So once we had the web address, we decided to put a little site up, with just some really simple text and a few images. And then Carl MacLaren, our associate producer, had this crazy idea of doing a song. Craig and I love any chance to write music, and I had just bought some cheap recording equipment, so we decided to write and record a little theme song for the website. Then the whole thing got out of hand, and it turned into this 20 minute opus. We wanted it to be like a long Patti Smith song, with this rambling poetry, or like the song “Turn Blue” by Iggy Pop.

Anyway, the whole thing happened really quickly — Carl had the idea last week and we recorded it this weekend. The vocals are by Charlene Amoia, the actress who plays Wendy the Waitress on the show (hence the Wendy the Waitress reference at the end). We all sort of wrote it together — some of it was written out, and some of it was just Charlene at the mic going off like Mick Jagger, which was hilarious to witness…

Post-314 Wrapup

First off, LOVED last night’s episode – it was great to get back to the gang as a whole, and to have a near-perfect episode topped off with Barney blogging Doogie Howser, MD style was genius.

Now, onto the updates:

Barney’s Blog has been updated with Barney’s guide to scrapbooking:

Here’s where I really like to get creative. On page 83 of my own scrapbook, I detail a roll in the hay with a strapping young milkmaid. We quite literally rolled in hay. Hence, I constructed a border out of strands of hay I later found attached to my underpants.

TedMosbyIsAJerk.com is, as you probably know by now, a real website, complete with illustrations, a scan of the letter “Ted” left her, and a twenty-minute song.

Jaime Pressly has just been cast in I Love You, Man – she joins Paul Rudd, Rashida Jones, and HIMYM’s Jason Segel.

The poster for Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, the Joss Whedon web musical that NPH is starring in, has been released:

Ted makes "undesirable bachelors" list

Ted’s been picked for starpulse.com’s “A Very Special Rose Ceremony: 5 Undesirable TV Bachelors.”

“Ted is the kind of guy who says everything a woman wants to hear, so it all seems perfect at first. Only as she travels down the relationship road with him, she realizes that it’s not her he’s interested in but rather the act of getting married in general.”
