Procrastination

If you have something really important to do, why not put it off for a little bit longer and create an album cover for your imaginary band? (Thank you Facebook). Here's how you do it...

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit "random"
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on "explore the last seven days"
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop/paintbox or similar to put it all together.

Here's one I made earlier:



Have fun...

The Youth of Today

How's your day been? Mine was spent at Mount Hawke skate park with my son, Oscar and his mates. I lay on the big comfy sofas in the rec room reading, but mostly I just listened in on the conversations going on around the pool table. The coin mechanism was broken so all games were free. A tournament ensued. Here is a sample of the boy-talk I was particularly taken with:

1st boy: Is it true you keep a photo of your mom, naked, in your locker?

Chorus: Snigger

1st boy: Cos I heard you keep a photo of your mom, naked, in your locker. Is that true?

2nd boy: No... f**k-off! As if I do!!

Chorus: Snigger louder

1st boy: Oh right. It's just that that was what someone told me. You know. That you keep a photo of your mom, naked, in your locker.

Chorus: More sniggering.

2nd boy: No - I keep a photo of YOUR mom in my locker, and she's naked and bending over my bike!

Chorus: Fall About in Hysterics

1st boy: F**k off!!

You can see why I want to work with the little cherubs can't you?
