Jan. 23rd, 2010 11:26 pmGot more accomplished than expected today, considering how much time I wasted spent talking about Buffy comics online. Sigh. I'm such a geek. I used to deny it, but I've decided to just embrace my inner geek this year. (shhh...don't tell anyone)
Started watching The Big Bang Theory this year. And, well...I cackled uncontrollably at this:
The boys, three astrophysicists, are playing a game of 20 questions - trying to figure out which fictional character the person is.
Wolwoitz (who has just gotten off the phone with his girlfriend and looks upset): Who's turn is it?
Leonard: It's yours.
Wolwitz: okay, shoot.
Leonard: Are you a character in a tv series?
Wolowitz: I just got dumped by my girlfriend (proceeds to cry).
Sheldon: Oh god, he's probably a character out of Bab5 and we'll never get out of here!
(LOL! Okay, only a geek would get that line. Because a) you have to know what Bab5 means (Babylon 5) and b) what the show was - the best sci-fiction tv series of the 1990s in my opinion, but admittedly had a million characters and subplots - also alot of emotional pathos. and c) how many people critiqued it against something simpler like say Star Trek.)
Sigh. I love my geek comedy. Once you turn off your inner feminist, the uncontrollable laughing takes over.
