I always wanted a Tickle Trunk of my own. Though not, perhaps, by that name.

Anyway, thanks to Craig Ferguson, I now know that Eric McCormack's son is named Finnegan. And I can't help but think it takes a brave Canadian to name his kid Finnegan. Well done, sir! Somewhere in Sock Heaven, that little pup is smiling down at you. But imagine the decision-making stress, in the event that the McCormacks someday have another son- should they name him Casey and go for the set, or branch out into new territory, with, say, Jerome or Rusty?


Also, I never really appreciated how many ugly, gaudy, fussy, cluttery, pink-and-purpley, tacky, blurry, unattractive icons there were in the world until I branched out from my usual haunts and trusted artists in search of filler for my then-54 empty slots. I'm up to 56 filled spaces now, but only three of those are actually new-new. The others are all returning faves or ones that have been waiting patiently for their turn. Originally I'd planned to do a multi-GIP of the newbies tonight, but eh, too much coding for 3AM. They'll keep. Which leaves this post with even less than the "very little" content I had planned. Oh well. I have a question I want to put to you wise folks, so maybe I'll do a poll tomorrow. That's sort of content-ish, right?

That is some serious bravery. Go Eric.

Seriously. The kid's probably lucky he's growing up in LA, 'cause that's just goofy.

No text or animation, but if anything here () catches your eye (excepting the "Other" gallery, which is gifts given and received), feel free.

And television-free me has been shown both (most of) Firefly and the BGS mini, and will start watching Season 1 tonight. My god, currency!

See, now your icons are the sort I go for. No little sparkly things, no pretentious lyrics that are barely readable (or unreadable), no messy mauve haze over everything, turning the image into goo... just attractive, interesting images. It's so refreshing! And so pretty. I'm rushing out the door to see The Brothers Grimm, but I'll definitely have to spend some time looking when I get back. Thank you so much!

And yaaaay, you've seen Firefly! Did you like it? I haven't seen BSG yet myself, but it's on my wishlist. I've certainly heard enough good things.

Hee. Here's one of those pinkie-purple icons I couldn't resist. And yay! for an upcoming poll. I must be frighteningly egocentric, because I love giving my opinion in polls and surveys.

Ack! So pink! And so... emo! Dude, that's hilarious. Okay, that's the sort of pink icon I can appreciate (from a distance. My eyes! snicker).

I can never resist a poll, either, but this one's not as fun as some of the wacky ones out there. I was just really curious. Hopefully the lure of ticky boxes will prove strong. *g*

I ticked the appropriate ticky boxes. It was interesting trying (and I hope succeeding) to remember when I read some of those authors, often in both hs and college.

PS - Had to use this icon. *g*
