I need a new default icon. I've had this one since like 2005 and it's about to be 2007 in a few weeks.

I suck at graphics. Which you can see from the icon itself, because that's not exactly quality workmanship or anything but the best I can do. I have almost zip artistic ability.

Could someone really good at graphics design me a great icon?

Also, dry ice is so fun to play with. It came with the big box of dead, vaccum packed mice that we feed to Nippy the Wonder Snake. Nothing like seeing dead rodents when you go get a lean pocket.

Still, dry ice is cool. The Boy knows all sort of geek tricks to do cool things with it.

I know that they warn you on the packages of sugarfree things that "excess consumption may have a laxative effect", but I don't think that's sufficient enough.

I think they should be saying: "excess consumption won't just give you the runs, it'll give you a Boston Marathon in your bowels that gurgles like boiling swamp water and will have you howling for your mother or a priest and you will DIE ON THE POTTY. Like Elvis."

Also, I realized that one of the things my mother and I bickered about when I was younger was not actually anyone's fault.

My mom used to get on my case a lot because I didn't brush my hair. I did brush my hair. But I have very thick, long hair and when you're in the South (aka Humidityland) you can brush your hair 'til you can make your very own hair!sherpa, and it's gonna look like you let a pair of mating swallows do your hair that morning. You either gotta get some gel or live with it, and being all of eight I hadn't discovered the magic of Frizz-ease. So it wasn't my fault, but it wasn't hers, either.

I realized this when I brushed my hair in the mirror this morning and realized that I'd been brushing it out for like, five minutes, and it still looked like a mess.
