It's so stifling. I've had serious thoughts about seeing if I could borrow my friends' freezers to make some big blocks of ice and make an igloo. Seriously.<BR/><BR/>Like thinking how many freezers I'd need, how much water, what I could use for containers, whether to use solid ice blocks or shaved ice turned into ice blocks. I don't think I'd actually be able to bring any plan to fruition, but it's fun to think about :DApex Zombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04831580250709824079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-82522607808792436392008-01-18T14:50:00.000+00:002008-01-18T14:50:00.000+00:00You too huh?
