I am Woman, See Me Blog!

by JHSEsq

There is a meme that is going around the blo­gos­phere that goes by a vari­ety of names. We called it The CD/BAND Meme when we did it. It’s a fun exer­cise and you can see the rules and such here. Why we bring this up at all is that the point of the meme is to put together a ran­dom photo, a ran­dom band name with a ran­dom album title. The writer chooses none of the ele­ments, since they are ran­domly selected by fol­low­ing the meme’s instructions.

Why Lizza’s exe­cu­tion of the meme is so strik­ing is that after she put the ran­dom ele­ments together as seen here:

She went on to research the words used and the his­tory of the pho­to­graph that appeared when she com­pleted her task. Her band name came up as “Nau­til­dus” so she explains the word’s mean­ing, “Nau­tilidus, or the nau­tilus shell as I recall, is an embod­i­ment of the golden mean num­ber, which in turn rep­re­sents nature’s intrin­sic beauty. That’s math, so I don’t fully under­stand what it means (num­bers and I don’t get along). But I do recall that the golden mean num­ber occurs nat­u­rally else­where in nature and in works of art and archi­tec­ture.” Her expla­na­tion of the photo and CD’s title are equally as inter­est­ing. Lizza’s blog is called I am Woman See Me Blog! And she won our very first award here at The Ris­ing Blog­ger. She is an incred­i­bly gifted writer and a true friend to blog­gers who are for­tu­nate enough to be blog­ging buds with Lizza. The post is titled Inner Music a.k.a. Band Meme. Even if you didn’t like the CD/Band Meme, we think you will love her post. For the sec­ond time con­grat­u­la­tions Lizza, you have writ­ten our Post of the Day.

Thank you for your kind words about the post, Bud! It was a fun meme to do and I’m so glad you liked it.

Thanks also to Judd and the rest of the Rising Blogger crew for the work you guys do here.

As I mentioned on Lizza’s blog, some real bands should use this meme to find their names and their albums. There might be greater coherence.
