Queenkv’s Brainpickings

I found this snazzy game on Cristine’s blog. I think it’s super cool.

Fast, athletic and flirtatious.

This little blog game seems to suit me quite nicely…I miss Europe and I still long for our little flat next to Bond Street.

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

I found this game on Chewy’s livejournal site. It made me laugh my pants off…almost.

Mark took the quiz and here are his results:

As for myself:

“And I believe that,” Mark said. I told him to shut-up. What a healthy marriage!

I found this quiz on groovy chick’s site. She’s going to see “Rent” on the silver screen. Lucky!

Which John Cusack Are You?

I loved this movie! I started reading Nick Hornby’s book in bookstores a while ago. (Bookstores are my libraries - I usually could remember where I left off. I’m in the middle of the beginning of Gregory Maguire’s “Wicked.”)

The record store employees from “High Fidelity” reminded me of volunteers at KALX. Hell, several radio volunteers agreed the movie characters resembled them.

Turkey day. Mark baked some pies for tonight’s Thanksgiving dinner. It should be interesting. I’m planning on whipping up a pasta side dish later this afternoon. Still kinda bummed about not spending the holiday with family - but we have each other. It’s our first Thanksgiving as a married couple. Sigh.

Oh yeah….and Mark just took the test.

Which John Cusack Are You?

Can’t sleep - browsing blogs and I stumbled on this snazzy game on Thong Speed - a blog by a former DC intern.

“How Much Is My Blog Worth?: Inspired by Tristan Louis’s research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, I’ve created this little applet using Technorati’s API which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.“[from http://www.business-opportunities.biz/projects/how-much-is-your-blog-worth/]

Mark sent me this quiz: The Belief-O-Matic. Some of it I agree with and some of it I don’t. In any event, it’s a quiz that will make you think. How do you think you will do?

“The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.

Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.”

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (79%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (79%)
4. Orthodox Quaker (75%)
5. Reform Judaism (65%)
6. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (64%)
7. Neo-Pagan (62%)
8. New Age (58%)
9. Hinduism (56%)

you are the “you’re so dumb” happy bunny.
you are brutal in your words and enjoy putting
others down.

which happy bunny are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

We bought a Happy Bunny patches from the Star Trek Convetion. We ironed it onto our luggage. It was damn easy to pick it out from the other black bags, when got off the plane in Ixtapa. Benton’s site claims Happy Bunny is for “advance teens and up.” I’m sure younger kids can get in on all the Happy Bunny fun.

I found this quiz on Christine’s blog. In the movie, Napoleon drew this picture to ask Trisha out to the school dance. At Pedro’s urging, he was trying out his “skills”.

You are Trisha.

Which Napoleon Dynamite character are you?

Napoleon Dynamite: I spent like three hours doing shading the upper lip. It’s probably the best drawing I’ve ever done.
Trisha: Yeah… it’s really… neat.

Mark also took the quiz and got this character:

You are Pedro Sanchez and love holy chips.
