To Sean and Megan:
(If either of you ever come across this)
Here’s a fake album cover for the fake band Quantum Rapture that we created in the car.
Yay.
Anyway.
Presidential Pickup Lines. These are like the best things ever. Favorites:
I made the mistake of drinking water while coming across this one. My water shot out of my nose.
Joyous day.
Just when you thought the album covers had ceased…THEY JUST KEEP GETTING DORKIER!
Idea that came to me from several random pieces. Awhile ago I was thinking what an awesome band name Cellophane would be. Yesterday I was messing around with Wikipedia’s “random article” generator and came across the “Cello” page. I thought to myself, “hmm, I wonder what I could do with those f-holes?” (get your minds out of the gutter!). Then late tonight came the revelation of “holy crap, I could use an f-hole as an “f” in a band name!”
Then, “Dang, too bad “Cellophane” doesn’t have an “f” in it.”
Then, “But it does have an “f” sound…maybe I could spell it “Cellofane.”
And, “Holy crap, it would be a PERFECT name for a cello group, ‘cause it’s CELLOfane!!!”
And this was produced (yes, I know, the instrument pictured in it is a violin. Shut up.)
Like it? Isn’t “String Theory” the BEST name for an album for a string group?
Blogs reflect life
That’s why these have been so crappy lately.
That good old after-semester let-down.
If Plato and Bishop Berkeley had released albums…
This is what they would look like.
Yes, I’m that geeky.
Claudia can’t do math, but she sure can make stupid album covers. Useful talent right there.
Berkeley was the one who said “existence is perception,” and Plato, of course, had his famous Allegory of the Cave.
I have the feeling that this is going to be the summer of the album covers, I’m saying that right now.
Halfway through, still holding strong…
HA! Spring Break, baby! I didn’t think I was going to make it past this week…Monday-Thursday was incredibly stressful. But here I am, at the midpoint of a semester of 25 credits, and holding a 4.0 so far (with 4 out of 9 classes reporting). And the real surprising thing is the fact that I’m holding up surprisingly well. Haven’t crumpled under the stress yet (though I was close on Tuesday, not going to lie). I think I’ve hit my stride with this workload. Unfortunately, I’m very tempted to increase my credit load in the fall to something like 27, but I won’t do that. It’s silly and unnecessary, especially if 6 of my credits next semester are going to be coming from graduate-level statistics classes (which, if they’re both offered, will be the case). I just hope the 4.0 can last until the end of the semester…please, oh please…
Hmm…what else was I going to say in this thing today…
Oh yes! I was going to give you guys an example of a formal proof. This was one of our practice problems, one full of those delicious things we call subproofs! Observe (oh, and the little carat (^) is read as “and,” the little v is read as “or,” that little tilde-like thing at the beginning of the first premise is read as “not,” and _|_ is the symbol for a contradiction. Like that will help at all, but just thought you should know):
Oh, and the goal is to prove R.
This was done in Fitch, the program we use. It’s picky as hell. “Fitch” does not rhyme with “bitch” for no reason, as one person pointed out in our recitation session.
Oh, and an album cover! I like putting wings on things. I’d show you the original, but I’ve lost it (not it it, the picture, it…aw, nevermind).
Your Blogs Suck, Mine are Better!
You know I’m kidding, of course. I seriously want to avoid alienating you people, cause if I do that, then who will come to my philosophy party?
HOLY CRAP…there are several full episodes of Chicago Hope uploaded onto MySpace! HOLY CRAP!
Life is really, really, really good. Plus, it helps that I have spaghetti and Mr. B’s Lost Shorts from MST3K in my DVD player (not spaghetti and the DVD in the DVD player, I have spaghetti in a bowl. The DVD is in the DVD player. Just thought a clarification was needed there), AND I’m planning an epic Flash.
Plus, one more album cover! I was trying for simplicity on these. And I’ve resorted to actually looking up cool-sounding names and subsequent matching/cool-looking pictures. No more randomness, sorry, I could only take it for so long!
A Blog in Its Purest Form
I broke down and downloaded the Sousa march we’re playing in concert band today. I couldn’t freaking take it anymore. I’d promised myself, “no more Sousa marches! You have like ten of them!” But NO, my weakness prevailed and I’ve added yet another Sousa march to my iTunes library.
I also broke down and did three more albums. Observe!
Yeah, I totally photoshopped (well, altered in Flash) this one, too. Put the clock hands on the moon. Also, isn’t the font that the words “Disjoint” and “Don’t Panic” are in awesome? It’s called “astigma” and it’s from fonts.com.
Actually, I think that’s the only thing I like about this design. The clock hands are kinda cool, though.
Forget Physician, Heal Thyself, I’m calling my hypothetical band Schadenfreude. This cover, if I do say so myself, owns.
Okay, I’ll admit it, I purposely sought this picture out. It does fit quite wonderfully, though, doesn’t it? And I like how I made the wording colored so closely to the sky that it makes your eyes hurt. A band called Cloudbuster would totally want that.
Also, I’ve discovered a few new songs that I will recommend for you good readers. Yes indeed, you read my blogs and are therefore subject to my preferences regarding music. Isn’t life grand?!
1: Breathe (LMC Extended Club Mix) by Erasure. Electronica at it’s finest, my friends. This now tops my “play count” on iTunes.
2: Hide & Seek (DJ Russ Harris Extended Mix) by Imogen Heap. If you’ve listened to Hide and Seek the regular version, this is even cooler in it’s own special way.
3: Dreaming of You by The Coral. This is totally different than the first two songs. For one, it’s not techno (I know, shocking!).
Okay I’m done.
