It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
 | I’m A Desperate Superhero Without A Home |
Help me! I was going to, for the sake of a quick break away from political news, go take the Which Superhero Are You Quiz over at Movies.Go.Com.
Now I’m not feeling so super. I was stumped by the very first question. I was supposed to say which kind of home I live in. Here were the choices:
- Your parents’ basement with a 50-inch flat screen and cable
- A dreamy colonial house on a suburban lane filled with desperate housewives
- A fully mobile, super-pimped recreational vehicle
- A killer penthouse apartment with a view of Central Park
- A tricked-out volcanic cave on your own tropical island
But, but, but… I don’t live anywhere like these!
Does this mean I don’t get to be a superhero?

How about a tree house? Can a superhero live in a tree house?

Not according to that quiz. According to that quiz, there are only 5 places that a superhero can live in.
So, what we need is a superhero with the superpower of overcoming quiz binding!

You’re no superhero. Maybe supervillain.. - do they have a quiz for that?

It’s…a fantasy. It’s asking where you’d live in the fantasy.
Mind, I still had trouble with it, because they asked things like “who plays your background music?” (and named 5 groups I’ve never listened to) and “who plays your girlfriend?” (and named 5 actresses I’ve never seen).
Maybe that’s why I wound up as Wonder Woman.
