brought to you by Quizilla


You're the Indie Guru!
Take What sort of Hipster are you? today!
Created with Rum and Monkey 's Personality Test Generator .

You're practically too cool for words. You've got more indie rock knowledge in your pinky finger than Guided By Voices has songs! You went to your first Mudhoney concert when you were 14. You knew Green Day before they sold out to the masses. You can name every side project Lou Barlow has been in, complete with all album and song titles. You throw out words like "Thurston," "lo-fi," and "Kill Rock Stars." You wear jeans, old band tees, Converse. You hang with other gurus and people you can lord over. You're intelligent, but big-headed. Passionate, but hot-tempered. You will one day rule the earth.
Roll Damn Tide!

Tut

Last night I watched that most supremely cute Josh Bernstein on another episode of Digging for the Truth. This week, Josh was looking into the premature death of King Tut (who was only 19 when he died...

Super Puppy Bowl

Did anyone else see the big game yesterday? I guess I should clarify, by Big Game I mean the Puppy Bowl. The "Super" Bowl was more like the Toilet Bowl, because Rex Grossman played like shit. I could ...

Sadness

Someone I know lost their spouse in a car accident this weekend. How sad, to lose your other half that way. Losing people in general is terrible, but there is something about accidents that seems so p...

Digging.

I have decided that my new celebrity crush is Josh Bernstein of Digging for the Truth. A cute boy who is a history nerd? Need a gal ask for more? Granted, I kinda fell asleep during that Atlantis thin...

Globe Trotting

I've been thinking a lot lately about travel. More specifically, my lack thereof. I haven't done a lot of it in recent months, and I hope to change that this year (and in the future). So here's a list...

Happy Birthday, United Kingdom

Three hundred years ago today the United Kingdom was born out of a Parliamentary vote to join England and Scotland (Wales came in later, I believe). So happy birthday to my homeland, though I'm sure i...

Gator Bait

It was weird at first, but became a lot easier to root for Florida in last night's BCS championship game. The Gators beat a much overrated Ohio State team, which is great because it's always nice to s...

Accidents waiting to happen.

Yesterday as I was driving home, traffic was abysmal. This is because everyone in the HOV and regular lanes was rubbernecking. There was an accident, a pretty bad one, and as I quickly glanced over (w...

Hasta la vista, OC.

I can proudly say that I've never seen an episode. And though I think Adam Brody is too darn cute, I'm not sorry to hear the news that Fox has cancelled the OC. Watching the Sugar Bowl last night was ...
