I peruse the Internet with great frequency. I think the Internet short, the Internet movie, is turning a corner. They are seeing they can make it more clever than just five or six friends with a camera putting it on YouTube.

Maybe the strike was responsible for that. I'm a huge Joss fan! And have been dying, literally dying to work with him.

What's your weekend look like?

My weekend looks very free. I've been fortunately crazy busy since "How I Met Your Mother" got up in full swing again, I've been every-daying it.

I was in Austin for the film festival for "Harold & Kumar." I filmed an episode of a game show called "Regis Philbin's Million Dollar Password." Based on "Password" from days of yore! My weekend is gonna be lots of lounging about. I might take in a film! Though I just missed Jim Henson -- they were showing some early experimental work at that silent movie theater. I missed that.

I didn't know he had early experimental work.

He was nominated for an Oscar for a little eight-minute movie he did. Then there are a bunch of weird early commercials. I love that stuff.

What do you do? Take the dogs to the dog park. Lay low. It's better than saying -- I'd insert some trendy club name, but I don't know them! If I said a place I knew it would really date me. I go to that hip new outdoor club, the Standard. 1998!

Well, you turned that corner of age that we do.

I'm almost 35. What does that mean? What does that entail? Just a lack of desire?

Look out for your back. And your teeth.

I do find I'm interested in wines and things now. I'm actively listening to Alton Brown. So maybe that is something to do with growing up.

OK. You need to lay down, old man.

I did my own stunts yesterday. I get a wallop of a punch. I'm not geriatric yet, fool! I got some young whippersnapper left in me. I'm a stuntman at heart, see? Why am I talking like it's the 1930s? Thus aging myself. OK, that's all I got.
