Damaged Yet Delightful

The Big Bang Theory, and Big Bags

Even though I decided against doing BEDA, I still feel guilty for not having blogged today! (Yes, I still count this as Wednesday, since I haven’t been to sleep yet. I’m aware that it’s technically Thursday but whatever, I didn’t get up til 3pm. My sleep schedule is so whacked out right now).

So I love The Big Bang Theory, I have the DVDs of season one and the whole lot on my iPod. But when it comes to season two, I have to admit I’m woefully lacking. I watched episodes 1 and 2 because they were in a double bill, MONTHS ago, and even only then because my friend Neil reminded me they were coming on. But since then, nothing. I got obsessed with Dollhouse for a while, I watched religiously every Sunday for the first few weeks, since it only aired on Fridays and I had to give people a chance to get it online. And I’ve seen all the How I Met Your Mother episodes up until s4e15/16, so I don’t feel too badly about that. The Naked Man was my favourite season 4 one. But The Big Bang Theory, I have been sadly neglecting.

I decided to rewatch episode one tonight and go from there, so that’s what I did. Here’s what I remembered: There are a spectacular number of awesome quotes in BBT episodes. Being a geek, I wrote them down. Here they are XD:

Penny: Sheldon, may I ask you a question?
Sheldon: I would prefer that you not, but I won’t go so far as to forbid it.
Penny: …All right, I heard ‘yes’…

Sheldon: You thought the opposite of ’stupid loser’ was ‘community college graduate’?

Sheldon: When I try to deceive, I myself have more nervous tics than a Lyme Disease research facility!

Sheldon: I couldn’t become Green Lantern unless I was chosen by the guardians of Oa, but given enough startup capital and adequate research facilities I could be Batman.
Leonard: YOU could be Batman?
Sheldon: Sure. I’M BATMAN! See?

Leonard: Oh God, I AM the bad fish!!

Sheldon: This mind does not forget! **side note - anyone having a HIMYM flashback to The Pineapple Incident here? Because as soon as he said that, I LOLed, thinking of Ted. ‘This is a super brain! Mere alcohol cannot stop this brain!’ XDDD**

Wolowitz: That’s kind of an overreaction to a little harmless necrophilia.

Leonard: That was fast.
Sheldon: My pre-packed disaster evacuation bag. Recommended by the Department of Homeland Security. (beat)…And Sarah Connor.

Sorry this post was so unoriginal. I’m also breaking my rule, created a WHOLE THREE DAYS AGO, about not posting fandom-type stuff - other than journal-type accounts of fandom meetups and stuff - on this blog. I’m saving that stuff for my fandom Livejournal. Well, it’s not *totally* unrelated as I’m going to post a question here. So in future I’ll keep the UNRELATED quotes for LJ. How does that sound?…I’m essentially talking to myself here because nobody has commented since the first entry anyway (although a few people did say they liked my new theme, when I asked It IS pretty).

The Question: If you were going to pack a disaster evacuation bag, what would you put in it?

My answer: You know what’s sad? I’d be tempted to buy another external hard drive, back all my crap up AGAIN, and then put it in the bag every night after backing everything up. Because if there was a disaster, either I’d be taking my hard drives with me, or I wouldn’t be leaving! (Wow, that sounds really melodramatic and unbearably geeky. Go me.) Other than that, the usual crap like clothes…warm socks…notepad and a few pens to record the disaster (the internal journalist is hard to keep down, it turns out, once trained)…my video camera, for the same reason…Money, obviously…some non-spoiling food like cereal bars…and like, stuff from my friends that has sentimental value.

…Ok, it would be a very BIG bag.
