So, I've been back from Chicago. I think I've recovered. I learned many amusing and useful things while there, like to stay away from the Travelodge on Harrison, and that the Museum of Science and Industry has kickass vending, and that the stores of Chicago are no more likely to carry James Spader movies than the stores of Louisville. ALSO, I survived the plane! I'm happy to report that there were no snakes.
In other news, Buddy, formerly my grandmother's dog, has moved in. He's doing rather well. He mostly sleeps on the floor. Shelby seems alright, she mostly avoids him. I get the feeling most of their conversations go like this...
Buddy: Hi Shelby!
Shelby: I hate you.
Buddy: Beautiful weather, isn't it?
Shelby: Move, I want to sleep on the couch.
I have this really fantastic new program, Gimp, that's a photoshop thing and was totally free. I <3 Apple for X11. This doesn't mean my icons will suck any less, well, maybe it does. You tell me. I made these last night because I am slowly going more X-Men crazy. Seriously, Beth, my dad came out of the basement last week with a stack of X-Men comics from '79 and said "You have a week to read these." HELL YEAH. Anyway, icons...
