Not much has happened since my last blogity blog, although there is the news that I now require glasses for long distance viewing. Apparently things aren’t supposed to be as blurry as they were looking, so now after a trip to the Optometrist and $200 later I am a week away from having to wear glasses for driving and watching TV, anything that requires me focusing at something in the distance. I have a feeling it will look something like this….

What else is new? Uhm… well I just completed my Tax return for the year, I should be getting around $600 + back out of the $6000 that was withheld. Sooo crap! I want more more more! But I guess I should be thankful that I am getting any of this money back, especially considering everyone got $900 earlier in the year.

Oh and I suck at ordering things on line! I ordered Heroes Season 3 on DVD from EzyDVD when i wasnt logged in, and went back a few weeks later and ordered it again when I was logged in, and now I magically have 2 copies of Heroes Season 3… Who likes Heroes? I got a DVD to give away… My bad.

The Big Bang Theory, is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady and originally premiered on the 24th September 2007 and it revolves around the lives of two guys in their twenties who work at the Californian Institute of Technology. Leonard, an experimental physicist and his room mate Sheldon a theoretical physicist and they live across the hall from Penny, an attractive blonde waitress with hollywood dreams.

Basically the show spends a lot of time mixing the two different worlds together. The world of a young, blonde woman and two geeky physicists. With the addition of Howard and Rajesh (Leonard and Sheldon’s equally as geeky friends)

Leonard played by Johnny Galecki is an experimental physicist with an IQ of 173 and received his Ph.D. at the age of 24 and shares an apartment with his friend / colleague Sheldon. After being a geek his whole life Leonard starts trying to explore more social situations when Penny moves in across the hall.

Sheldon is played by Jim Parsons and portrays a theoretical physicist with a Master’s degree and two Ph.D’s as well as an IQ of 187. He was a child prodigy starting college at the age of 11, straight out of the 5th grade. He extremely neurotic which is the main point of the characters humor.

Penny (the attractive blonde) is okayed by Kaley Cuoco. She’s start’s off as the new neighbor across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon and is their complete opposite. Working as a waitress at a local restaurant she wants to become an actress, although in episode 10 (The Loobenfeld Decay) when Penny is cast in a musical, she wouldn’t want to be aiming to become a singer…

If you dont mind a little spoiler, read below but if you don’t want to know the bare facts about seasons 1 and two the next two paragraph’s are not for you (I will make them as small as possible for you so you can skip them!)

In Season One physicists Leonard and Sheldon get their lives shaken up when an attractive young woman named Penny moves in to the apartment across from theirs. Leonard begins to develop a love for Penny, while she puts up with his friends: Sheldon Cooper, who has a combination of obsessive–compulsive disorder and neurosis; Howard Wolowitz, a sex-crazed maniac; and Rajesh, who will not speak to her, as he is too shy to talk to girls. Throughout the season: Sheldon loses his job for insulting his new boss, finds his ego bruised by a child prodigy, and finds himself unable to bear being part of a lie that Leonard has told—always attacking the world with a relentless need to assert his supremacy; Rajesh learns that he can talk to girls when he’s drunk; and Penny and Leonard go out (in the final episode).

Season Two begins to deal with character development, including Sheldon becoming more and more obsessive, with a characteristic lack of understanding of irony and sarcasm reminiscent of Asperger syndrome. Leonard and Penny’s relationship takes a turn for the nasty when they break up, but quickly is resolved and progresses into a stronger friendship than before. In the season finale Penny hints at her true feelings for Leonard. Meanwhile Howard’s character remains similar to that of season one. Rajesh manages to briefly apologize to Penny without having consumed alcohol.

If you haven’t watched the show, I highly reccomend it, even if you only watch a couple of show’s the episodes are under half an hour each so you wont be loosing to much time if you dong like them. But now, I leave you with the episode’s opening credit music. Enjoy!

I know I know, Friday blogs are supposed to be iPhone App of the Week but to be honest… have I run by that schedule at all since starting 31 for 31. I think its because I prefer to do my posts from what interests me at the moment of writing, which in turn I believe would make for better blog posts than me forcing out a app review of Photo blog. So live with it.

Slumdog Millionaire (DVD ART to the left) was directed by Danny Bole and tells the story of Jamal Malik played by Dev Patel, a young orphan from the Slums of Mumbai who ends up one question away from winning the ‘Who Wants To Be a Millionaire’ jackpot. He starts off arrested on the suspicion of cheating and in desperation to prove his innocence he tells the story that is his life.

From the chaos on the streets that his and his brother grew up in, through their wild adventures on the road and their vicious run-ins with local gangs, oh and Latika, played by Freida Pinto the girl he loved and lost and found and lost and found and found.

Slumdog Millionaire is based on the best selling book Q&A by Vikas Swarup and written by Simon Beaufoy (the full monty) I haven’t read the book although the movie defiantly makes me want to think about getting it at-least.

I like how the story is put together, at the start it is a bit confusing but that may have just been because I had worked 8 hours and then started watching a DVD at midnight, but the way the story is told quickly makes sense and explains how Jamal Malik knew all the right answers for some one who grew up in the Slums of Mumbai.

I don’t really want to say to much more about the film so that it’s not spoiled for anyone, although the Blurb thingi that I got most of the information from at the start of this post gives away the jest of the film.

If you haven’t seen or heard of this movie I strongly recommend you go out and rent it!
