Rules:
1 - Go to "wikipedia" and hit "random" or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to "Random quotations" or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. 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" or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together. Preferably in a square format layout, like a nice old-timey vinyl album cover.
5 - Post it on your blog.
6 - Don't forget to write down the names of your friends that you want to join in!
Så, detta är mitt resultat:
Och i mitt nya band Mandogalup vill jag ha Elin Bryngelson (för att hon kan sjunga, spela trummor och...bas? gitarr? nåt bra är det i alla fall), Adam (för ögongodis, haha) och Cec (för ytterligare sångröst och snygga moves)! Superband!

According to a BBC report this morning, Perth was the hottest city in the world yesterday. At 44.2°C (111°F), apparently we sweltered through our hottest ever December day.
~ now, how's THAT for a Boxing Day to remember?? ~
Of course, hot hot hot weather equals extremely high fire danger, with fires in the northern suburbs on Xmas day (40.7°C) and fires south of the city yesterday. I've been "on call" over the holiday period, which mercifully means no alcohol for this sucker! This has its advantages you know....
Anyhoo.... Luckily, even though "The Hills" area is most *at risk* in this weather (I live in The Hills of Perth, which is why I'm a volunteer bushfire fighter), we've only had one small scrub fire late yesterday, which was contained very quickly. With the temperature expected to only reach 32°C today, some of our stand-by resources have been made available to other brigades. So at 3pm I'm off to the southern-suburbs fire (Mandogalup), and hopefully be home by midnight. Provided the weather doesn't change too much - although, winds WILL swing back around into easterlies during the evening, that much a fire-fighter can be sure of!, we should be able to consolidate containment lines and begin mopping-up the mess left behind from three days of fire.
If it has enough battery, I'll take my camera along and snap some shots.... either way, I'll report in tomorrow.
