The *Insert Glyph Here*s

I was reading a book on the history of Google when the author mentioned a cog in Google's system. When they disregarded the word "the" in searches, the author lamented the loss of information about the 80's alternative rock band "The The". This was hilarious to me as I thought of other band names that would be unsearchable:

The *s
The 7s
The Music
The Songs   < Try to search this one, I dare you
The XXX    <DO NOT TRY THIS ONE!

This fits well into the hipster ideal: If only you know about it it is awesome, if no one knows...even better.
I will bet that some kids have purposely tried to make up band names that were so alternative and hipster-esque that they became completely ridiculous just like "The The".

In unrelated news, my attempts to download movies are limited by the release of titles such as "The Movie" and "Great Film"

Update: I AM THE ONLY BLOG WITH THE TAG "the the"...I AM A 2ND PLACE HIPSTER!

1 Broke Girl

I worked full time last year with a full course load so I could spend the summer in Europe...I think my budgeting forgot to include the fact that I wouldn't be able to get my job back when I returned. It is October now and I still have not found a job. I am running out of gas money to get to classes, and my car insurance is due in two weeks. I will probably get hired soon somewhere because of the Christmas rush, but what to do until that first paycheck? Answer: Rewatch Korean dramas until 1 in the morning.    :D

3 Horses 2 Locks

In the car today my mom decided to tell me the story of how three horses died. My mom said that before she knew my stepdad and was his groom, there was a groom that got fired. The groom was drinking after a polo game and when he loaded the horses into the trailer he forgot to lock the back latch keeping the doors closed. My mom then said that as he turned into the road my mom lives on now the back doors came open and three of the horses closest to the back ended up being dragged behind the trailer. I am sitting staring at her in disbelief when she proceeds to fuel all of my future nightmares. She said the horses were dragged along behind the trailer until all of their legs were reduced to "bloody stumps leaving a trail of blood all the way down the road", and the groom had no idea what was happening. At this point I am so horrified that I can't find words to express it. I keep thinking to myself, "horses scream, they must have been screaming the entire time and the groom heard nothing, omg!". What made the story even worse, if that is possible, is that my mom and I were currently pulling a horse trailer. I kept looking at the mirrors, convinced that it was happening again. When we were shutting the horses back into the trailer later that day and locking the back doors my mom said cheerfully, "That's why I got a trailer with two locks in the back!".
