Tell me what you watch (on tv) and i'll tell you who you are: Monday part 2

So Mondays seems to contain alot of shows.. part 2!

Greek is the closest show to my reality. Rusty is the engineer underdog in the greek system. He is a genius in school but is socially awkward and has trouble fitting in, until he joins a fraternity. Then not only he manages to date several women, he even managed to date two girls at the same time (to his defense, he was trying to figure out which is the right girl.. and he choose right.. yay Rusty!), all that and still manage to stay in the honors program! Rusty is almost my counter part, replace the polymer science engineer with a computer scientist (beside, Eng and CS are almost the same.. ENCS). He has the perfect (almost) balance between being a geek and a frat brother, juggling between parties/keggers and his passion for engineering. I, on the other hand, sort of managed to juggle that, although it did result in a disastrous 1st semester.


Adventure, spy, geek/pop culture references is what Chuck is. College genius geek (i detect a pattern here...) drop out Chuck Bartowski has a super computer in his brain called the Intersect and is forced to be a Buy More employee by day and super spy by night. His handlers are stone cold John Casey and a ridiculously hot and equally deadly
Sarah. I think this is the adventurous in me talking, with a splash of geek pop culture (i'm not kidding, i think i'm a walking encyclopedia of random pop culture). The idea of going on secret missions, having a super computer in your brain which allows you to instantaneously have super kung fu powers or being able to hack a super computer. It's like having the Matrix plugged in your brain! All that and save the world while hooking up with ridiculously pretty girls (Kristen Kreuk being his latest.. DAMN YOU CHUCK DAMN YOUUU). Burn notice can also fit in this category (spy? check, stuff blowing up? check, guns and things go boom? check)

Castle is the mystery novel freak (book worm in general) in me. Ever since I was a kid, I loved mystery novels. By the age of 12, I read almost all of the Hardy boys and by 15, I read all of Chrystine Brouillet's book in the Roman + collection. Richard Castle is a successful mystery writer who has the writers blocks and decides to shadow a detective (who just happens to be an ass kicking and very attractive) using his mystery novel writing experience to solve crimes. He is incredibly witty and is still a child at heart (sometimes, it feels like his daughter is older than him). He has a wonderful relationship with his teenage daughter and is known as the "cool dad". That the future me who hopes that one day, I can have a smart daughter that knows the difference between right and wrong , who comes to me for advice and comforting.

Stay tune for part 3.. and more shows
