Queen of the Nerds

I'm supposed to be writing a Secret Cupid Valentine Exchange Round-up because it went really well, but unfortunately, I received The Big Bang Theory on DVD for Valentine's day from my friend Vez, so I have no desire to do anything but fall in love with fictional nerds who will also ignore me and, on occasion, make me cry.  It is like single life all over again.
I must say, I'm proud of myself for understanding so many of the jokes (and not just laughing because they said something I didn't understand at all, which is what I imagine a lot of people do). I am disappointed that they referred to giving electric shocks as "negative reinforcement" when talking about operant conditioning. Any psychology nerds out there will understand my ire. Everyone else will just continue to call me nit-picky and say that I am too serious, but what the hell is the purpose of giving things names if we are just going to call psychological techniques anything we damned well please?!  Also, unrelated to the show, don't get me started on schizophrenia being stupidly and incorrectly mistaken for multiple personality disorders in popular culture. Seriously, cringe-worthy.



So, I'm going to do the round up tomorrow, most likely, and in the meantime, back to my imaginary nerd harem.


It was taking way too long, attempting to draw convincing comic versions of the cast. I don't have the patience while I am jonesing to watch more.

  1. At least I'm not the only one who wonders if BBT is the 'Frasier' of this generation. Too many things go over my head, but I laugh nonetheless!!

  5. Sheldon is my fav, because he's logical in the most basic way, which is brilliant.

  6. I don't know I think sometimes it's worse on those of us that do understand the jokes. My personal pet peeve right now is that every other person is being dx'ed with Bi Polar.

  7. I have never seen this show. But now that I've finished all of Netflix's episode of Downton Abbey I need a tweak show, and I'll take yours. If I have access to multiple episodes of a show I like, I CAN NOT turn it off and watch some next week. I have to watch it all. Now. And no one can say any words while it's on. No mouth sounds! So I applaud your accomplishment of any bloginess at all!
