Hooked on Big Bang Theory

Today for the first time EVAH I’m participating in our pal Julia’s “Hooked on” carnival at Hooked on Houses! Emily and I first met Julia when riding and elevator with her at IKEA randomly when we were on our IKEA adventure, then we reunited with her at BlissDom! She is good people, and you should totally read her blog. Especially if you like HOUSES.

But anyways, you don’t have to be Hooked on Houses to participate in this carnival, which is good, ’cause here’s what I’m hooked on:

The TV show The Big Bang Theory on CBS. It is pretty much the funniest show in the history of the world! It’s about two PhD physicists (Leonard and Sheldon) and their two other nerdy friends who live a nerdly existence playing HALO and reading comic books all the while living across the hall from a beautiful yet unattainable blonde wannabe-actress.

And it is HILARIOUS.

The writing is amazing, and the character of Dr. Sheldon Cooper (on the right in the photo) played by Jim Parsons is HYSTERICAL! Not only is he a nerd, he’s a super-inflexible, OCD, narcissistic nerd with nary a social skill to be found. Or, as Leonard (played by Johnny Galecki) describes him, “Stuck between a rock and a crazy place.”

My hubby and I love this show so much, we bought each other season one on DVD for Valentine’s Day! Ahh, nerd love. Ain’t it grand?

So, I’m HOOKED on Big Bang Theory on Mondays on CBS! What are you hooked on? To see what’s got everyone else hooked, go visit Julia at Hooked on Houses!

Oh, and if you haven’t yet, don’t forget to check out this fun video I reviewed with Joshua!

Everybody’s doing it.

Apparently Twitter has really hit the mainstream (or at least Fox News), because even my grandma has heard about it.

I was sitting in her kitchen yesterday, minding my own business, when she said to me, “Do you twitter?” Not waiting for my response, she continued. “I saw it on the news. Anna [my sister] and I were waiting for the elevator at the mall, and I asked her if she twitters. She said no, but you do. I asked her what you twitter, and she said you would probably twitter ‘I’m getting on the elevator now.’ Would you do that?”

“I might,” I replied, indignantly.

“Well I can’t imagine why anyone would be interested in that,” she said.

She looked at the baby and said “Sammy, are you going to twitter?” and then turned to me and said “Can you imagine what he’ll be twittering? He’ll probably be twittering with someone in Europe!”

I let that one go.

“Where’d that word come from, anyway? Twitter. It’s a cute word. Your cousins, do they twitter you? No? But they have that Face Space thing, right?”

Just then (fortunately) my cell phone rang.

“Your phone’s ringing,” Grandma said. “Someone’s twittering you!”

****
For those of you, like Grandma, who still don’t get Twitter, I bring you “Twitter in Plain English.”
