Sunday marks one year since I began work here at Evil Beet as your Weekend Editor.  I thank you for all of your support both then and as I moved to weekdays.  For every reader that has vomited their venomous vitriol in my direction, I’ve encountered a hundred-fold of kind and wonderful people.  I even thank the vomiters for reading and sharing their thoughts.

I’ve also learned a lot about myself over the past year, but no self-revelation has been more jarring than when I realized that I don’t watch enough television.  I had to research the premise of How I Met Your Mother because it’s yet another show that I’ve never seen.  Odd really, since I totally love Neil Patrick Harris.  And odd since I write entertainment and celeb news for a living.  As I start Year Two here at EB, I commit to watching a lot more television.  I’ve spent the past few days teaching my kids how to cook, drive and do their own laundry, so I should be all set to dedicate about 8 hours a day to the tube starting next week.

Anyway, if you’re a fan of HIMYM you already know that the audience doesn’t know who the mother of Ted’s kids is.  In honor of the 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother, it sounds like there’s a chance that you might finally meet the mom.  And she’s, uh … hot.

Rachel Bilson has signed on for a one-episode appearance that is expected to happen around that 100th episode, which is when the question of “Who?” will finally be answered.

I like Rachel Bilson.  I think she’s cute and had a great clothing collection prior to getting Lindsayed – that’s my new term for mysterious, masked home invasions — but I don’t get the Rachel and Hayden Christensen match up at all.  They are one of those couple that got engaged, yet I can not envision them ever getting married.  Sorry, Rach!
