I like to watch the Big Bang Theory. I realize it’s just a
sitcom and not necessarily beneficial to my learning process, and that it is
secular which does not help with my walk with the Lord in any way. I justify it
by saying the jokes have some material that constitutes higher learning and
therefore it is less hurtful to my brain cells than my other favorite show:
Spongebob Squarepants.
The main girl character on the show, Penny, played by Kaley
Cuoco, seems to have her career taking off in a big way. Her new ventures
include a Priceline commercial with William Shatner, as well as a Toyota ad.
She seems like a sweet person, so it’s not a bad thing to see her face more
often, I suppose.
In my calculus class this morning, my professor asked for
someone to read a question out loud for extra credit. The question was about a
RAV4, the car Cuoco will be promoting for Toyota. It is one of those situations
when you have never heard of something before, you hear it, and then you start
seeing it everywhere! Yeah, so as I type this out it seems a lot less funny
than when the connection was made in my head five minutes ago, but what can I
say. I’ve never been very talented in the joke-telling department.
(Side note: I went up after class to see how I could record
my extra credit. Pitiful, I know, but what can I say? Every point counts. Turns
out he never intended to supply the reader with physical extra credit, that
their (my) participation and satisfaction is the extra credit he alluded to. I
would have preferred real extra credit, but I guess that works, too).
