Fortunately, there are quizzes to the rescue – I’m proud to say that I would absolutely suck at being at 1930′s housewife:

23 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

Hilariously, though, as a 1930′s husband…:

116 As a 1930s husband, I am Very Superior Take the test!

I think I’m almost proud of that

1 – Go to Wikipedia’s “random article” link. The first random article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to Random quotations. The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 – Go to flickr’s “explore the last seven days“. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. (I extended mine to be proper album dimensions.)

I swear I didn’t doctor the results to get this – I’m highly amused (and, to be fair, the photo was taken by Federico Ferrari, and it, and all of its derivative works (including this one) are released under this CC license).

Anyway, here’s my apparent new band’s album, which I think I should make just because the name is so awesome:

I totally rock. And now, to go do stuff for my last lesson. Or sleep. Or something.

See?

Thanks, Mrs. Mustard!

In honor of the occasion, I will do two things: one, I will not actually mock the guy at the table next to me who is currently air drumming along to the coffeehouse muzak, even though I really really want to, because it is mean; two, I will pass it on. So to the following folks, I hereby declare you to be nice, even if you think you are not:

• Bridget, queen of Bewildered Art: in addition to my gratitude for cheeseburger donations back in the early days when she was my awesome roomie, Ms. Wilde is an awesome friend. She wins! (Note to B: This means I totally forgive you for the Alice Cooper song ) Also, you should check out her art and buy it. Because she is awesome.
• Caley at Sublime Bedlam for miscellaneous comments and for totally understanding why the Halloween candy thing is so evil.
• Aspen at The Sunroom Sea, who, in addition to being an all-around brilliant person and accomplished, interesting writer, has been one of the best kind of friends – the kind who forgives you for being a total ass over the course of multiple years and is still wonderful to go for coffee with.
• Rob, a.k.a. autographedcat, for sharing his fabulously obscure musical taste, for 14 years of friendship, and for his abortive attempt at felony kidnapping which saved my life. You should totally check out Aphelion Webzine, where Rob is one of the editors, and if you’re lucky you might run into him filking somewhere
• Karen at Faith, Grace, Dignity, Peace, and Justice for, among other things, totally not thinking this song post was about her Also, for thinking I am better than a hotel and for referring to me as a computer genius.

Note that I would also like to give this award to the following people, but I was unsure of how they’d feel about public links – for the record, also deemed worthy are Aiela, Readinfiend, Noghri, Raventhourne, `Net, PC of the Spandex Mohawk (mostly because you’d hate to be called nice, and I know it), Harper, and of course Thesy. If any of you don’t mind being posted about, let me know and I’ll put you into the list above with a link and all (I won’t post any names or info publicly that you don’t post publicly yourself.)

I’m sure I missed some people Sorry!

Oh, and I’d just like to say that I think Mrs. Mustard deserves the award right back You crack me up!

(I admit I’m biased, due to a Thor fetish, but that’s another story )

For those who’ve tried to be the “casual gamer” amongst a group of serious D&D fanatics, this one’s for you. Really funny.
