This is my new album cover! Well, actually it’s a cool thing I saw on a blog while stumble-ing today. It involves visiting sites and using what you get in Photoshop or similar paint program. The game goes like this…
(you may want to middle click these to open them in new tabs)

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
   The first article title on this page will be the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
   The last four words of the last quote on the page will be the name of your album
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
   The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. http://www.livejournal.com/random.bml
   Click on the users info link and look for the italic subtitle below the bold blog name. That will be your first hit single.
5. Use a graphics program to put them all together like I did above and share it here..

For completeness, here are all the urls that came up for me..
1 2 3 4

Lets see what you get….

Here’s a couple more that I made (no refreshes allowed, you have to choose whatever comes up (even russian tag lines!) )

I saw a post over at Pelf-ism..about her 5 meme, it looks quite interesting and she quotes at the end, “Seriously, I think tags that are sent my way will most probably end with me. I don’t know how you will react to being tagged, so yeah, if you feel like sharing your “five” with me (and other people), let me know (by sending me a trackback)!”

I don’t really know enough people to tag with this so I’ll add my own list to the ‘orphan 5 meme’!

5 things found in my room (I’m at work now so I’ll use here)

This is where I’m supposed to tag 5 people but I just can’t bring myself to do it! what if they don’t do it? what if they ignore it? oh no! the fear, the trepidation…. the easy get out clause – I don’t know enough people that do tags so I’ll publish this one and pretend I didn’t know.

I have seen people playing photohunt games and it looks like fun so, with the help of Vegan Momma and Lalla-Mira I can announce a little photoshow game. I thought of taking pictures of things that were within 100 meters of your home. Here are mine…

10 meters away

20 meters away

50 meters away

100 meters away

Here’s how to play:

1. Take 4 photos within 100 meters of where you live, they can be of anything so long as it’s within 100 meters of your front door.
2. Add your name to this list with a link to your 100 meters post and display it on your blog
3. Tag two or more of your friends to participate and get them to do the same.

here’s the list at the start:

Andy Bailey – 100 meters (only me!!)

and here’s my tags

Lalla-Mira of Lalla-Mira.com
Vegan Momma of VeganMomma.com
Pelf of Pelf-ism is contagious

do we need a deadline? let’s see if more people do it this week….
