the longest run-on sentence and some acronyms

the last few weeks have been crazy busy, but also pretty exciting and fun.  last week, we spent a few days at our first official cambodian beach to celebrate topher and fellow pcv friends' birthdays, then slogged our way back through downpours on a shifty boat to make it to phnom penh for our mid-service training (which, if you're keeping count, did in fact happen three and half months too soon for it to be our actual mid-service date), and returned home only for me to get hit with some yucky sickness this week.

a giant hill we climbed...so we could get to the other side.

chris has been in high gear this week running an art week for his students to participate in a traveling art show, and completing mountains of paperwork for a boys camp he is doing with fellow pcvs next week, and i've been...watching my own pile of work-to-do grow from the bed.

but, perhaps most importantly for those reading, chris and i have been debating the finer points of two television shows and their merit when compared with one another.

HIMYM vs. BBT.

on one side, you have me, rooting for how i met your mother, and its sweet, funny story lines, relatable characters, and general musicality that gets me every time.

in the opposing corner, topher roots for big bang theory, as he deems it hilarious and well-acted.

(but let's be honest here topher, you really like BBT better because 90% of the jokes are related to science fiction, which means 90% of the time you're laughing and i'm a bit confused.)

so, in closing of these not-so-important-at-all-in-fact updates, i ask:

HIMYM or BBT?

  1. HIMYM all the way!!!!

    BBT is not funny when you work in a Physics dept - it's too close to real life

  2. I must side with my cuz on this one and go with BBT. I have been a fan since day one. The group of friends is my sister and her friends in high school. We can label everyone of them . . . including the guy who (our Sheldon) who now works at UCLA doing something top secret with plasma.

    Love you guys!

  3. HIMYM for sure, but sometimes Ted gets a little whiny.

    I never got into BBT, I feel like the whole cast is whiny. ;o)

    I really enjoy hearing about your adventures.

  4. Oh gosh, we watch both and love them both! But I think I like HIMYM just a little bit better, just because 1) I'm not a science person and some of the jokes go over my head, 2) I'm a sap and I love stories about relationships.

  7. I love both...but I'd have to say that HIMYM is my favorite (and I'm even a science nerd!)
