There are times when blogs have no better role than to break you from your daily routine and make you laugh a little. There needs to be no rhyme or reason. The whole purpose is just to release some stress and realize that, no matter how cynical and up tight the world seems, a little wasted time can make you feel just a few steps further away.

I was reading Return to the Center which referred to the Developing Storm, which referenced Don’s Blog, which found invent Y. At the end of the blog chain was a little exercise to “create your own music CD cover“.

The exercise is easy for anyone with a web browser (and since you read my blog, you have that covered in spades).

1. Go to Wikipedia’s random article page
   The first article you get is the name of your band
2. Go to the Random Quotations page
   The last four words of the last quote is the album title
3. Go to Flickr’s Interesting photo page
   Third picture, no matter what it is, is your album cover

I’m not great at doing layout work and I don’t have my usual tools of hte trade so this is a bit rougher than I’d like but I did find it funny at what I got from the rules above.

BTW, just the fact that you went through five blogs to get to the game says you needed this today !
