Everything but genius...

I'm shamelessly stealing a meme from /Faulsey, which is a surprise in and of itself. I tend to loathe memes, but really liked the results of this one so I thought I'd spread it around.

Your Very Own Album Cover

1 - Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random… Read More”
or click Here
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to “Random quotations”
or click Here
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 Here
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.


My results are thus:



It was especially cool that I already knew the quotation I ended up with, which is one of my old favorites from Oscar Wilde:

"The public is wonderfully tolerant; they forgive everythign except genius."

Quite a poignant critique on today's music scene if you ask me.

If anyone's actually stumbled across this place my from comments by now, I'll tag Rilgon and Brajana.

===============================================

As far as the world of Azeroth goes, I've been having a blast getting to see the lion's share of Ulduar 10 with the guild.

We've slain our way through Iron Council and each fight is just so dynamic and such a breath of fresh air compared to the 10-man Heroic they call Naxxramas.

I've snagged my trinket off of Razorscale while our Holy Priest snagged the Spark of Hope off of Kologarn, so I'll have to wait my turn on the final piece of my Trinket Wish list.

Sadly, yesterday the power supply in my desktop decided to give up the ghost. Thus, I find myself limited to my laptop; thereby limited to only the parts of the game that do not involve logging into Dalaran or anything more than a normal five man.

So for a week or two I'll be playing, and hopefully posting more, about my alts and some profession work.

Child's Play Charity Auction @ The Hunting Lodge


I know I haven't managed to be very active here since I created the place, but I wanted to make sure to post about the Child's Play Charity Auction that Brigwyn has going on over at http://www.brigwyn.com/2009/05/childrens-week-childs-play-auction-starts-today/ .

This is a charity by gamers to help provide entertainment and the small joy of play to hospitalized and terminally ill children around the country. Founded by Tycho and Gabe of Penny Arcade, the money donated has increased exponentially every year and they're able to touch thousands of kids around the country.

So go show your support!
