I saw this at PJ’s. I figure I’d give it a try, and if it didn’t suck too bad, I’d post it. Hey it didn’t suck that bad!

First, the rules:

Let’s Make a Band:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

You then take the pic and add your band name and the album title to it, then post your pic.

Here are my results:

1. Clinical Decision Support System
2. “It Every Six Months” (“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months” — Oscar Wilde)
3. The photo

Mathman has tapped me to do a lying meme, which, if my backtracking through the blog swamp proves correct, is a variation on a lying meme I kicked at a few people’s heads here.

The catch here is that one of the lies will actually be a truth.

Okay, so here we go. I’ll make my lies less outlandish than the last time, to better hide the truth.

1. I started this blog in Feburary of 2007.
2. Bun E. Carlos, the drummer for Cheap Trick, is my second cousin, and I see him occasionally at family functions.
3. I have a tattoo of Jonny Quest on my left shoulder.
4. I am afraid of squirrels.
5. One winter, my brother and I built a snow fort in our front yard that was so large and elaborate it was photographed for the front page of the State Journal Register newspaper.
6. I verbally insulted Steven Seagal on a hotel elevator after he drunkenly stumbled into me without apologizing.
7. I am looking forward to a relaxing meme-free February.

FranIAm a-tagged me with this, a new year’s resolution of sorts.

Try to think of one way you and your family can lessen your environmental impact in 2008. You could consider doing something relatively easy–like giving up paper plates and napkins (yup, more dishes and laundry, but oh so worth it at trash-time)–or more difficult–like trying to carpool more (which can be a pain, but saves a ton in gas money, not to mention in saved emissions). It doesn’t have to be hard–it could be something as simple as trying one of those new fluorescent bulbs in your desk lamp. How about it?

Being in a family with three younguns, I often feel like we are an unstoppable garbage-producing monster.

We’re slowly replacing the tungsten bulbs in the house with energysaver ones. We recycle plastic, paper and metal already. I take the train to work. We keep the thermostat at reasonable temps in the summer and winter. I am an empty-room electricity hardass; I’m always turning lights off when a room is unoccupied.

I don’t know what the hell I can do. I guess the best thing I could do is to really make an attempt at learning about other ways to conserve energy and resources besides the small steps we have been routinely doing for years — something I have never heard of or tried.

When will I be able to purchase a hybrid minivan dagnabit?
