WORK IS OVER!
VACATION IS NIGH!
REPENT ALL SINNERS!
(okay, scratch that last one)

Sooooo, I'm home. And there was some smoochery with the Brute. And I had a late lunch. Which, is maybe dinner. And now I am twittering about uselessly because I am going to pick up Amy T's snorkel stuff and assorted beach offerings and then buy some snackses for Petsittin' Pete. And then I will come home and do the things I should be doing now. Namely:

- Tidy up house
- The accursed, Sisyphean laundry
- Recycle
- Pack

None of which I can do right now because my brain, she's all float-y!

I may very possibly just be standing in the middle of my hall with an expression of EEEEEEEE!! until I have to leave.

K's flight gets in around 11, so I'll pick her up and we can EEEEEEEEEE ensemble!

We'll leave the house around 1:30 tomorrow. I just. God. I just can't fucking wait, my peoples.

This gushing is all nice and dandy. But now tell us how you really feel about your upcoming vacation. ;)

Oh, and it's an icon now. Sweet! Can it be borrowed? :)

Well, I'm subtle that way. Like Jean Reno *grin*

And absolutely --help yourself to the icon!

Thanks! Will credit you, of course.

Once you're back I may have to ask you how you're able to cram 20+ pictures into a 25 KB animated icon. Assuming you are coming back, of course. ;)

Oh, let me clarify --I didn't make the icon. I grabbed it from somewhere!

No credit due to me :)

And we'll see about my coming back... ;)

I was wondering that myself!

I'm not really an icon maker but sometimes I try to piece together a couple of screencaps, with limited success because of the 40KB maximum size.
The image information of the Boom-De-Yada frames might be limited but it still boggles my mind how you can put so much into so little "space". Too bad we don't know who made it.

I know --it's kind of amazing, isn't it? :)

I've made a few icons for my own use (nothing terribly fancy), and I've found that with animated gifs, you do run out of space really fast! I suppose the fact that the Boom-De-Yada frames are mostly b&w does help; the more colors you use, the larger the file size seems to be.

Still, it's impressive!
