2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. The third picture, no matter what, is your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.

Mantra for this week

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class 'Plain Insanity' Campaign

Some of the funniest radio copy ever.... (Thanks Jo for sharing them with me)

FERRET:
I had seen him at supermarket the week before. He had been walking a blue iguana past the cleaning products. With sunglasses on. Today was a ferret. I made up my mind to speak to him and approached with caution, having seen a documentary on ferrets the night before. “Is it acceptable to put salt on your cornflakes?” I asked the pale man. He removed his sunglasses and winked at me, with his good eye. “I thought so,” I said. The ferret looked me up and down and I could tell he was drunk. The pale man then spoke slowly in a Northern Spangalese accent. “I recently returned from London,” he said. “I flew first class for a business class fare,” he said. “Virgin Atlantic Upper Class,” he said. He was plainly insane, so I smiled and gave the ferret my business card.

DANCER:
I don’t often eat caviar for breakfast. Perhaps as rarely as twice a week. But it was only Wednesday. Or Dorisday. The lady in the tutu interrupted me mid-bite. She was licking a breakfast dog. “I was born to dance,” she sang as ketchup dribbled down her chin. Her wooden leg betrayed her. I quickly changed the subject to geography. “What’s the lay of the land?” I asked. She tapped her wooden leg with the heel of her red stiletto three times. Her balance was uncanny. “I landed this evening,” she said. “First class amenities for a business class fare,” she said. “Virgin Atlantic Upper Class,” she screamed, as if she had won at bingo. It was plain insanity. So I stared at her leg. Teak. Or maybe mahogany.

DOG:
A dog followed me home from the supermarket eight and three quarter days ago. Not a big dog. But not a small one either. I let it in and made a pot of tea. It didn’t care for the tea, but it ate all the digestives. I drew a picture of the dog in purple crayon and placed it at the supermarket. We watched the news every night and I became quite fond of him. I called him Derrick, after a bully in my school. Yesterday there was a knock at the door.“I’m here,” the woman said. “But where have you been?” I asked. “I’m sorry, I’m married,” she said. “My husband is in London,” she said. “He flew first class for a business class fare. Virgin Atlantic Upper Class,” she whispered.She was plainly insane. So I gave her the dog.

Talking dirty

In your absence I lost my mind. While you were gone I went into the dirt.

Betty Draper forever.

I just watched The Bang Bang Club

Not the greatest film ever made, not exactly historically accurate. Especially the depiction of Kevin Carter and the issues surrounding his Pulitzer prize-winning photograph of the Sudanese child and the vulture BUT I think Neels van Jaarsveld and Frank Rautenbach were incredible.Oh, and Ryan Phillippe is, like, quite gorgeus and not too bad an actor, either. Nice. Drool.
