Mario and Luigi are doing what they can

I started playing Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, and it's been pretty fun so far. You get to see Mario come out of the shower in his underwear, which is...well, pretty weird. So far, Mario and Luigi have teamed up with Bowser Koopa to try to get Princess Peach's voice back (the Mario Brothers because they want to help her, and Bowser because he can't kidnap her with her new destructive voice). It seems to be pretty much par for the course that Mario and Bowser make a reluctant alliance in the Mario RPGs. The original Super Mario RPG actually let you control the Koopa King, which was pretty cool. He's the main bad guy in Paper Mario, but I think he might help out in Paper Mario 2. I could be wrong, in which case it would just be the two non-Paper Mario RPGs that have Bowser as an ally. Anyway, I've made it to Hoohoo Mountain, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to reach the summit. In addition to the battles, which have been pretty easy so far, there have been some challenges, like jumping a rope and using a spin jump to gather Hoohoo Spirits between ledges. These are probably harder for me than they should be, but I eventually did both of them.

I'm thinking it's about time to get a new icon, but I'm not sure what to go with. I'm thinking maybe something else Mario-related. Something related to They Might Be Giants might be nice, but I'd want something that hadn't been done twenty thousand million times (See? It's a TMBG reference! {g}) before, so it doesn't just end up being a situation like, "OMG, im using teh THEY scul or teh snoman w/teh money!!!!11" I wonder if the picture from the flying carpet T-shirt has been used. It's kind of hard for me to come up with ideas, yet I also would kind of like to have MORE icons, so I didn't have to get rid of my old ones. I don't want that enough to actually pay money to livejournal, though.

For some reason, Hotmail has decided to reorganize my contacts in order by last name, rather than first. The thing is, some of my contacts didn't really have last names, so I just separated a description into two parts. This means that some of my contacts now show up as things like "Mailing List, They Might Be Giants" and "Reference Center, New Jersey Statewide."

COMING SOON (PROBABLY): A review of Bed, Bed, Bed (as if anyone really cares about it at this point).
