The Big Bang Theory

LEONARD: Are there any other honors I've gotten that I don't know about? Did UPS drop off a Nobel Prize with my name on it?
SHELDON: Leonard, please don't take this the wrong way, but the day you win a Nobel Prize is the day I begin my research on the drag coefficient of tassels on flying carpets.
RAJ: The only thing missing from that insult was "your mama."
HOWARD: I got one. Hey Leonard! Your mama's research methodology is so flawed--
LEONARD: Shut up, Howard.

LEONARD: You are not Isaac Newton.
SHELDON: No, no, that's true. Gravity would have been apparent to me without the apple.
LEONARD: You cannot possibly be that arrogant.
SHELDON: You continue to underestimate me, my good man.

SHELDON: Obviously you're not well-suited to three dimensional chess. Perhaps three dimensional Candy Land would be more your speed.
LEONARD: Just reset the board.
SHELDON: It must be humbling to suck on so many different levels.

SHELDON: Teams are traditionally named after fierce creatures, thus intimidating one's opponent.
RAJ: Then we could be the Bengal Tigers.
SHELDON: Poor choice. Gram for gram, no animal exceeds the relative fighting strength of the Army Ant.
RAJ: Maybe so. But you can't incinerate a Bengal Tiger with a magnifying glass.

Finished season one of The Big Bang Theory. LOVE. One of the things that's so great about it is the cast. There's chemistry there between all of them.

I also really like the fact that their wardrobe repeats. Unlike those shows where no one wears the same outfit twice. Plus, it's all colorful and interesting.

And then there's Sheldon, who is my favorite. And I kind of really want to see him and Rodney McKay have a conversation.

Here's Sheldon and his friendship flowchart from "The Friendship Algorithm." It's fantastic.

How It Goes

All of the NCIS porning has thrown of my Due South groove.

That keeps happening to me. I'll start writing something slightly longer and then something will come along and district me. I'm just horribly undisciplined.

But there in my writing notebook there is an entry for every day in January. That was a goal that I actually achieved. A good deal of it will probably never lead to anything, but a few definitely turned into drabbles and ficlets. And the goal wasn't so much to finish things, but to keep those creative juices flowing.

On a completely unrelated note, I watched my first full episode of Gossip Girl tonight. They had their DVR set to record it and I figured, hey, I'll use it as background noise and played sudoku. Holy designer handbag, Batman. The DRAMA. That show is made of crazy. And while I can't see myself ever being really into it, the experience was entertaining.

Then they were recording One Tree Hill, which I haven't seen an episode of since it started when I was a freshman in college. Slightly less with the crazy. And parts were even kind of adorable (Dan and his grandson). The end made me teary.

And Medium is back! Yea! ( Spoiler )
