Day 5
So, my lovely Nic, with her stellar powers of perception, nailed it when she labeled me an addictive personality type. I am now on season 4 of Smallville.
Lois Lane has made her entrance and I am a fiend for the Lois and Clark relationship, even in its platonic stage; the way they play off each other. They are the nerds Meredith and McDreamy, Posthumous and Imogene, Jack and Rose. It's adorable and I am totally geeking out over it. Shaun will be pleased and will no doubt gloat incessantly.

Science Defiance
Since I have been sick, and may in fact be dying, I decided that now would be the opportune time to take my friend Shaun's orders and watch Smallville. I watched the first season when it aired in 2001 and now that it is on its tenth and final season, I figured why not give it another go. I'm still on season 1 which I am actually thoroughly enjoying -- despite having already seen it, it was nine years ago, I don't remember much of it. In the last episode, Lana Lang fell off of the windmill and Clark caught her. Although I am willing to accept this for entertainments sake, every time Clark, and Superman in general, catches someone, this is all I can think about:
Leonard: Do you wanna join us for Thai food and a Superman movie marathon?
Penny: Wow, a marathon, how many Superman movies are there?
Sheldon: You're kidding, right?
Penny: You know, I do like the one where Lois Lane falls from the helicopter and Superman swooshes down and catches her. Which one was that?
Leonard, Sheldon, Wolowitz: *One.*
[Raj holds up one finger]
Sheldon: You know that scene was rife with scientific inaccuracy?
Penny: Yes, I know men can't fly...
Sheldon: No, no, let's 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 two feet above the ground. Frankly, if he really loved her, he'd let her hit the pavement. It'd be a more merciful death.
Leonard: Well, excuse me! Your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that Superman's flight is a feat of strength.
Sheldon: Are you listening to yourself? It is well established that Superman's flight is a feat of strength. It is an extension of his ability to leap tall buildings, an ability he derives from Earth's yellow sun!
Wolowitz: And you don't have a problem with that? How does he fly at night?
Sheldon: Uh, a combination of the Moon's solar reflection, and the energy storage capacity of Kryptonian skin cells.
Penny: I'm just gonna go wash up.
Leonard: I have 26 hundred comic books in there; I challenge you to find a single reference to "Kryptonian skin cells."
Sheldon: Challenge accepted!

Seriously
I'm just now starting to get over bronchitis, after four weeks. NOW, I'm getting a cold or some horrible disease. Seriously, I'm dying.
As you can tell, I don't handle being sick, well... at all.

Prop 19: Up In Smoke
For those of you not in the know, Prop 19 was a proposition on the California ballet to legalize recreational marijuana use, allowing the government to tax it. As election day winds down and the polls close, prop 19 has fizzled. I guess medical marijuana is going to have to be good enough for everyone. The only reason I think pot should ever be legalized is for the benefits it would provide via taxation. It's not hard to get a medical marijuana card so if anyone wants to legally smoke it that badly, go get one. Bummer we are missing out on the tax money, though; that's about as much as I care.
