tap... tap... tap... is this thing on?

Yes... I'm still alive. No... I didn't end up in Mimi's dungeon. I've run away and joined a rock band named GLIDER and I've been recording an album with them in Marakesh. ok..ok.. Truth is, I was tagged my Mimi, The Queen of Memes with The Band Meme and I hate the dungeon. The trolls keep losing the "guests'" luggage (well, that's what they say but I just think they steal our shoes and prance around in them) and I'm quite fond of my luggage (and shoes). I heard of unspeakable things they've done to previous "guests" as well. Besides, the dampness of the dungeon makes my hair frizz and I look horrendous wearing rollers, so... I decided to play along. If you want to play this and Mimi hasn't already tagged you... I doubt that's possible - she went tag nuts err.. I mean, she generously shared the assignment with everyone she could think of. Here's how it works: The Band Meme The premise is that you're about to release an album cause you're in a Rock'n'Roll band and in order to come up with your CD cover you go to: 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first article title on the page is the name of your band. 2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album. 3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Then... 4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result on your blog and leave a link to it in the comments of this post. I had fun fiddling with this stuff... The full quote I ended up with was: You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?" - George Bernard Shaw I like this quote. I've done one for Chicklet who has been, for the last 2 days, fiddling with the keyboard she got for Christmas. (You see, when I was a kid, I wanted a keyboard and I ended up with a Hammond organ... sheesh! So, I gave Chicklet a keyboard for Christmas.) What came out was ominous... I see a punk band in her future... Monothematic Delusions is a solid punk rock band name... don't you agree? You better... or she'll find you and do unspeakable things to your most prized possessions with glitter and hot pink paint. So, where have I really been since the 28th of December? I spent the last days of 2007 and the first days of 2008 with 'the one'. And I hunted for lizards for a boy who has captured my heart. On my return flight, my luggage took a trip of it's own and it lead me to meet the luggage fairy (don't ask, but he -yes he- did explain a few things). And since going back to work, I've been having computer difficulties which has limited my access to the net, and, to borrow an expression from my friend Meri, that "sucks donkey dong". Most of the time I have had online has been used to check on e-mails and donate rice... Yup.. it's still going strong at 14,056,707,390 grains of rice so far. I hope your New Year brings you what your heart desires, and the motivation to reach for your dreams. Dream of things that never were... Go for it! I'll try and catch up soon. Now you'll have to excuse me... I'm off to install a troll detection system in my shoe closet. Love you all more than my luggage! Hugs, smooches and gropes!
