Band Names from “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”

May 11th, 2008

Some bands have no imagination.

Warning: Half of these will start playing music automatically.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she’s gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies [Album],
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you’re gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

Lyrics from Lyrics Freak.

Early Web Design Experiments

August 4th, 2007

From the earliest of my introduction to HTML and CSS (Thanks to my friend Stephen), I present these attrocities:
I was basically just trying to figure out basic HTML and CSS syntax.

Lovely stuff, eh? The logo on the first page was created with MS Paint, and saved as a gif. *shudder*
