Personal cover art
I don’t usually like to do the meme thing, but Cynthia Closkey recently posted a pretty cool idea on her site, and I liked its simplicity and visual outcome. It goes like this:
The CD Cover Meme group has only three rules: (1) The first article title on this random wiki page is the name of your band, (2) the last four words of the very last quote on this random quote page is the title of your album, and (3) the third picture here, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
My band name was, obviously, Cave Swallow, and when I clicked over to scan for the last random quote, I thought it was an odd coincidence that I get this one by, who else, Heather Armstrong:
“Keep writing. Keep doing it and doing it. Even in the moments when it’s so hurtful to think about writing.”
And that’s my Saturday. If this becomes your Saturday (or Sunday, or future…), leave me a comment. They’re fun to look at.

Ali – Memes are usually just little questionnaires that get passed around from blog to blog, where people take the same base questions (or, in this case, directions) and substitute their own answers.
I love this meme. I finally have to submit and do it!

I like everything but the picture. But a band called Casino Royale would be pertty BA.
I did mine in a snap.
