Messier than Mine

This car was almost completely full of garbage. There was – literally – a pocket carved out for the driver and that’s all.

Impressive collection in there.

Fantasy Band

Following Eric and Beth, I couldn’t resist this one.

Here are the steps:

• Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random – The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
• Visit http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 – The last four words of the last quote on the page is the title of your album.
• Visit http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ – The third picture on the page is your album cover. (I used http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/by-2.0/ instead to be sure to get photos the photographer was OK with sharing. So sue me. Or don’t, actually…)

I give you, “Do it for me” by Hierocles of Alexandria:

A fine inspiration for a band name. According to Wikipedia, “He seems to have been banished from Alexandria and to have taken up his abode in Constantinople* where he gave such offence by his religious opinions that he was thrown into prison and cruelly flogged.”

(I’ll say that if you wanted album art, you could do much worse than what meesterdickey has in his photostream.)

*not Istanbul.

Britta’s Collision – the Aftermath

As promised threatened, a photo of the results of Britta’s glancing impact with our sliding glass door.

To get a good shot of the gunk, I put a sheet of white posterboard on the deck behind the window. I also took advantage of Fireworks’ “contrast” slider, which helped quite a bit in bringing out the snot, but may have done considerable damage to any sense of what you’re looking at.

Where you see white, imagine the floor of a wooden deck.

As I mentioned in the last post, she was fine. Completely uninjured. Didn’t even stop to shake herself off.
