jenkgeek quotient quiz
Salon's got a good article on The Rising. "[I]magine for a moment that you're Bruce Springsteen reading "Portraits In Grief" and you keep coming across your own name. Your music was one victim's passion, your songs were played at another victim's memorial service. Imagine being so much a part of these people's lives that you're included in their obituaries. How do you respond to that?"
I also like the writer's take on Mary's Place - "On "Mary's Place," a woman mourns her partner, who died in the attacks [...] She tries to will his spirit back to her through the music they used to listen to together. "Your favorite record's on the turntable/ I drop the needle and pray," Springsteen sings. [...] This is a song about a couple whose relationship goes so far back, their favorite album is on vinyl.
| You are 60% geek | |
 | You are a geek. Good for you! Considering the endless complexity of the universe, as well as whatever discipline you happen to be most interested in, you'll never be bored as long as you have a good book store, a net connection, and thousands of dollars worth of expensive equipment. Assuming you're a technical geek, you'll be able to afford it, too. If you're not a technical geek, you're geek enough to mate with a technical geek and thereby get the needed dough. Dating tip: Don't date a geek of the same persuasion as you. You'll constantly try to out-geek the other. |
