A new Wiki to love...

I was getting ready to google something today on my google start page...when I found wikiHow....

I love it, the first thing I found was this. But I have to say I already have a lot of these things down:

How to Be Like Monica Gellar

The 90's sensation sitcom "Friends" took America by storm with over 10 seasons. But what would the witty one-liners and touching blossoming romances be without the classic characters that we've come to love? One of the most quirky of said persona's has to be Ross' younger sister, best friend to Rachael, ex-roommate to Phoebe and wife to Chandler, Monica's over compulsive habits are what make her so unique!

Steps
Decide which of her great traits you'd like to evoke. Is it her impeccable cleanliness? Or her professional cheffing skills? Or her incredible packing addiction? Whichever the Monic moments you admire, start by assessing some of the more "kooky" ones.

Make a huge body change! Everyone knows Monica used to be a pudgy child and not always the slim seductress she is now. Between a love for puzzles and an obsession with food, she didn't keep in shape. But after meeting her brother's roommate in college, one of his comments telling her she should be a chef hurt her enough to motivate her to not only self correction and her new career path.

On that note, work on your cheffing skills! Start from the bottom rung of the ladder and work your way up to head chef at a hip restaurant (Alessandro's) in downtown New York.
Learn to love your label maker! Monica has labels for everything, and everything has a place and it needs to go there.

Your new mantra is how to make the world a cleaner place. You should have a solution to every stain and products to clean everything. Make sure not to skimp on car cleaning: even if you don't have a car!!

Live to lead! Your way IS the way. And the only other way IS the highway.
Be competitive! If you aren't a winner, you're doing something wrong. Remember that "rules control the fun!" And since you always win, you'd be willing to gamble anything. Say, even your apartment?

Keep an eye on strange men. Old pals of your father, your brother's roommate, or even a strange millionaire who chooses to harass you. Remember, Monica doesn't believe in soul mates.

Tips
If you aren't thin or popular right now, DON'T WORRY! Neither was Monica, but she eventually did something about it and made things happen for herself. She also was without a job for a good while and cut her ego and borrowed from her brother to make ends meet.
Remember that even Monica isn't perfect (though she'll never admit otherwise). She has her faults too: her ideals in the stock market are less than ideal, her massages inflict pain, and not everyone understands her neurotic habits.

Warnings
The world does not come with a soundtrack: do not be so cruel that only a laugh track would right you.

Many people do not understand little things that just have to be done "that way." Expect criticism.

Ok, the Cat's alive,....let's go to dinner!

I think I've finally learned to be "at one" with my tv addiction. Which is why I feel that I MUST tell everyone I know when I've found a new show that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

I LOVE 'The Big Bang Theory'.... let me tell you why:

The series is about two socially inept prodigies in their 20s who are living across the hall from a beautiful, socially adept girl with questionable intellect. wikipedia- I do quote sources!

The theme song is a hilarious trek though time by The Barenaked Ladies, which we promply downloaded off iTunes directly following the pilot episode. (This is the thing that Steven says is missing from current television programing: an actual theme song)

They also have the best episode titles:

The Middle-Earth Paradigm
The Fuzzy Boots Corollary
The Pork Chop Indeterminacy

But the best thing about the show is the writing...it speaks to me because I'm a HUGE nerd at heart...Here are some quotes from the first season:

Sheldon: [about donating sperm] What if she winds up with a toddler who doesn't know if he should use an integral or a differential to solve the area under a curve?
Leonard: I'm sure she'll still love him.
Sheldon: I wouldn't.

Penny: Yes, I know men can't fly...
Sheldon: No, no lets assume that they can... Lois Lane is falling accelerating at an initial rate of 32 feet per second per second... Superman swoops down to save her by reaching out two arms of steel... Miss Lane who is now traveling at approximately 120 miles an hour hits them and is immediately sliced into three equal pieces.
Leonard: Unless Superman matches her speed and decelerates.
Sheldon: In what space sir in what space? She's 2 feet above the ground. Frankly if he really loved her he'd let her hit the pavement it'd be a more merciful death.


[Everyone trying to assemble Penny's new IKEA wardrobe, reading the instruction paper]
Wolowitz: Oh, boy! I was afraid of that!
Leonard: What?
Wolowitz: These instructions are a pictographic representation of the least imaginative way to assemble these components. This, right here, is why Sweden has no space program!

Sheldon: Okay, look, I think you have as much of a chance of having a sexual relationship with Penny as the Hubble telescope does of discovering that at the center of every black hole is a little man with a flashlight searching for a circuit breaker. Nevertheless, I do feel obligated to point out to you that she did not reject you. You did not ask her out.
Leonard : You're right. I didn't ask her out; I should ask her out.
Sheldon: No, no, now, that was not my point. My point was 'don't buy a cat'.

Leonard: Do you really need your Honorary Membership of the Justice League card?
Sheldon: I had it in every wallet I owned since I was five.
Leonard: Why?
Sheldon: It says here, "Keep it on your person at all times." See, right here under Batman's signature.

Leonard: You are not Isaac Newton.
Sheldon: No, no, that's true. Gravity would have been apparent to me without the apple.

Sheldon: If influenza was only contagious after symptoms appear, it would have died out thousands of years ago. Somewhere between tool using and cave painting, Homo habilis would have figured out to kill the guy with the runny nose.

Sheldon: Engineering—where the semi-skilled laborers execute the vision of those who think and dream. Hello Oompa-Loompas of science.

Since there are too many other great quotes: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory

So that brings us to the Cat... I love whenever my shows geek out with a little Physical Chemistry (despite the painful memories that class brings back to me)...so when Penny asks Sheldon for advice on if she should go out on a date with Leonard (who is her good friend) and he explains with an analogy using Schrodinger's Cat- I was exstatic!

What is Schrodinger's Cat?

Schrodinger proposed a thought experiment to explain his "problem" with the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.... Geeky stuff about superimposition of atoms....There is a cat in a box, with a sealed vial of poison. The poision is rigged to be released radomly at any time. Since the only way to know for sure if the cat is alive or dead is to open the box and look, the only logical conclusion about the livelyhood of the cat at any given moment (that you're not peaking in the box) is to say that is both alive and dead. Since we know that the cat cannot be both alive and dead, this launched the bizarness that is Quantum Mechanics into question.

Sheldon basically tells Penny that she won't know if its a bad idea to date her friend until she does. So when he tells Leonard "Schrodinger's Cat", he knows exactly what that means. He then picks up Penny for their date and asks her if she knows about Schrodinger's Cat, and she says "I know too much about it"... He kisses her and she says, 'Ok, the cat's alive, let's go to dinner!'

If there's anything I love more than science talk, its nerd love.

PS Yes, I know I just totally geeked out here, please don't leave comments about what a nerd I am.
