New Year Band Name Game Fun!

Well, am finally back to reality after a rather busy Christmas and New Year - had a good time all in all although still catching up on the sleep I have missed. It would take me too long to recount it all here so think I'll do Christmas and leave the ski trip for another day (although some of you have already seen the photos that I have stuck on facebook already).

Finished work on Christmas eve and drove up to London to pick up my friend Simon who I went ski-ing with, we were then going to go onto Milton Keynes to his sister's for Christmas day, but ended up leaving late as he was completely disorganised and hadn't packed when I arrived, so I ended up doing his ironing and wrapping half his presents for him while he faffed around trying to find things. No comment. Eventually got to Milton Keynes and did a family Christmas with them which was nice (my parents being in Austria at the time), played various games with the kids and ended up doing Singstar on the Playstation which I sucked at to start with due to sheer embarrassment but improved a lot as time went on and now want to give it a proper go on the 90s edition which has all the rubbish pop things that I sing to in the car. Think we're planning a weekend of it sometime soon! Had to leave rather early on Boxing Day to get to the airport for the flight to Romania, but thankfully the budget parking I had booked all went very smoothly so we were there in plenty of time. Will do more about the holiday in the next few days as off to bed now, but in recognition of my Singstar efforts I will leave you with a "fun" game off of Doctors.net. Basically it generates your band name, first album title and album cover, so have a go and see what you get!

1. For your band's name, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random and it is the title of the article generated.

2. The album title is the last four words of the last quotation on http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

3. And your album cover is the photo generated when you click on "explore" on http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

So - I got "Jerry and the Goldfish" for my future band, whose first album is "Thou Appearest Unto Others", the sleeve of which is shown above. I quite like it actually, perhaps a few more goes on Singstar and I will have to start following this alternative career! Feel free to post any good names/abums on the comments bit...
