i'm rather fond of this

though I'm not entirely sure I'm going to keep the title or if I'm going to give myself a band name or not (probably not, but maybe) but I am rather fond of the cover photography (it still needs tweaking).

i think i've done this before

but i did it again anyway.

To do this:
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 or similar to put it all together.

do you dailybooth? i do.

as you may know by now, I really like any sort of site that lets you socialize and (essentially) pimp yourself out to other people (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. Et cetera). Recently, I really like dailybooth.com. The homepage of the site explains it best: "Your picture, your face, every day for years. Beautiful, right? Not only that, get your own gorgeous widgets and fleet of social features - free." So you take a picture of yourself every day (or, since I usually forget, ALMOST everyday) for a year and then you can see your evolution. Cool, right? And then you can follow your favorite people (for me, YouTubers).

Here's my widget. I suggest that you check out this social site. It's pretty cool.

twitter: none of you have any friends!

"It seems like Twittering is just randomly bragging about your unexceptional life." Yup, that sounds about right.

strangely creative things

Going to a school where there's a really good arts program means that you often run into a lot of weirdly creative things while on campus. Here are two that I ran into yesterday.

1) This thing, in one of the University buildings, was made out of toilet paper, and were hanging in the hallway. It was weird, and people had ripped part of it down (thanks, jerks) because when I had passed it earlier, it wasn't drooping quite as much, but it still looks kind of cool. I don't know why it was there.
2) This is weird and creepy and could have been done by someone at my college or the university where my college is because it was in the one building that both schools share. I'd like to think this was the doing of my school since it was in the building where the animation school is located. Anyway, this was in a stairwell, and I thought it was strangely creative.

creative wrapping

If I do say so myself, this is one of my cleverer ideas. A gift for one of my friends from the theater where I used to work, the wrapping paper is made of a left-over roll of ticket paper that I nicked a while ago and used a name tag as the gift tag.
