Hell is Full of Musical Amateurs

This, according to whoever came up with the idea, is what my album would look like were I in a band. I am pretty happy with the result. My band would be called the Gateau Affairs and the album would be titled "When I am Filled with Music." I inverted the colors on my cover and really liked it. The original colors are shown below. Click on the pictures to see them more clearly, since my layout makes it difficult to see them. I spent way too much time on this. If you want to play, here are the instructions:

1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random which will produce a random Wikipedia article. The name of the article that appears is the name of your band.
2. Go to http://www.quotationspage.com and select "Random Quotes." The last four or so words appearing in the last quote on the page make up the title of your album.
3. Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days which will produce a random collection of interesting pictures from the last 7 days. The third picture listed is your album cover.

P.S. "Hell is full of musical amateurs." -George Bernard Shaw

Say What You Need to Say

Below is a conversation I had yesterday with my 5 year-old cousin, Evan. We were having a sort of tug of war and began discussing possibile candidates for strongest people ever. As you'll see, my choice for strongest man ever is Superman. Read what Evan thinks.


E: Are you as strong as Superman?
D: No, I don't think so. I think Superman is probably a little bit stronger than me.

E: Do you think the Hulk is stronger than Superman?
D: That's a real close call. What do you think?

E: I think Superman is stronger.
D: Yeah, I agree. I don't think anyone is stronger than Superman.

-Long Pause-

E: What about Jesus?

I stand corrected. Evan also has plans to practice jumping for 500 years so he can eventually jump as high as heaven. But Jesus won't let him go in the gates because he's not dead yet. So, he'll jump up through the floor and skip the gates altogether.
