The Big Bang Theory and Some Things I Can Live Without

I have taken a couple of days off from work initially anticipating a Sagada trip my friends and I planned almost a month back. That never happened.

So now I am mostly just using my leave days catching up on chores I have neglected these past few weeks, reading, and my general tendency to over-analyze myself as if anything matters.

Also I am hooked on a new TV series, The Big Bang Theory. It's about four superhumanly intelligent friends and a girl that basically ignites all conflicts and general interest in the characters (for their actions are juxtaposed against what is deemed socially accepted). The series is very well-written and I understand has received a couple of awards to validate that. I didn't really care for the acting of most of the characters but Jim Parsons. He does make nerdy/unpopular/arrogant appear admirable and you must love him for that. I also stumbled upon this video in youtube (Now Playing) on an interview with him and I must say that he does show a lot of passion and knowledge on the whole theoretical basis of acting and his general motivation on his part. I can tell that he is very smart too, acting or otherwise.

On the other hand, I fail to appreciate how Johnny Galecki (Leonard) treats his character. I feel that the character's speech pattern is unreasonable and irritating at its best. I just don't see the point.
