Fig Newtons

In honor of the very 1st Trivia Tuesday, here's another super cool fact... (well to me at least)

Did you know that Fig Newtons weren't actually named after Sir Isaac Newton? Many think this, but the cookie was really named after a town in Massachusetts -- Newton.

There's something to think about next time you're munching on a Fig Newton... :)) HAPPY TRIVIA TUESDAY!!!

Swiftie Albums Fun Fact...

HAPPY TRIVIA TUESDAY!!! This isn't exactly 'trivia', but it is something REALLY cool. I guess it could count as trivia... so here it is...

To all Swifties, some of you may already know this, but did you know that if you purchase any of Taylor Swift's albums (hard copy), you can decode secret messages?!?! Yes, I know, it's kinda awesome... The secret message can give you a clue to who the song's about, or just a really cool saying. If you've noticed, in the lyric booklet that comes with the CD, all the lyrics are lower case... except for certain letters. If you put all the uppercase letters together in order, then... BAM!! You have the secret message!!!
Below, I've posted all the messages from her 1st, self titled album. The rest are soon to come, unless you want to take a jab at decoding yourself... So enjoy!!! :))

Tim McGraw - CAN'T TELL ME NOTHING

Picture to Burn - DATE NICE BOYS

Teardrops on my Guitar - HE WILL NEVER KNOW

A Place in This World - I FOUND IT

Watch TBBT 102

So, the same website from before also has The Big Bang Theory, Season 1, Episode 2 "The Big Bran Hypothesis".

Here's the link:

Watch TBBT Pilot

So I was just googling The Big Bang Theory's "Pilot", and came upon this website where you can view the whole episode for free. AWESOME, right? I found it really useful, since I've never seen this episode, and can't find it anywhere else (on YouTube, or TV channels) :))

Here's the link:

Sheldon's Gift Monologue

HAPPY MONOLOGUE MONDAY!!! So this is the 1st official Monologue Monday. I've chosen a very funny monologue from The Big Bang Theory, Season 2, Episode 11, "The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis". Even though it's not Christmas, I still love this episode. It made me laugh the whole time, and ended with one of the sweetest Sheldon moments ever.
When Penny mentions to Sheldon she's gotten him a Christmas gift, he's found himself in quite a predicament...

"The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis", Sheldon Cooper, The Big Bang Theory (211)

You bought me a present? Why would you do such a thing? I know you think you're being generous, but the foundation of gift giving is reciprocity. You haven't given me a gift, you've given me an obligation. The essence of the custom is that I now have to go out and purchase for you a gift of commensurate value and representing the same perceived level of friendship as that represented by the gift you've given me. Ah, it's no wonder suicide rates skyrocket this time of year. Oh, I brought this on by being such an endearing and important part of you life.

Monologue Mondays

So I've decided to start a semi-weekly thing called Monologue Monday. By 'semi' I mean I'll try my hardest to get to it every week. What I plan to do (or attempt) is to post a favorite monologue of mine, or one I've recently discovered (whether it's from books, TV, movies, musicals, plays, etc.), every Monday. Monologues are such a fun thing for me. Despite getting shaky legs, and sweaty palms when in front of an audience, I still love the idea of performing small snip-its from my favorite story lines. This is something I'll have a lot of fun with so I hope you enjoy!!
