I liked your icon much better than mine (it's the BuffyBot)

Thanks! I wasn't very satisfied with my own icon though; it was really bland compared to the others. (And yes, it was deliberately blurry, but I should have been more subtle about applying the blur.) I much preferred yours. I loved the text and the background in combination with the perky Buffybot.

I completely agree with what you say about nitpicking / looking for faults. I am also having a really difficult time selecting two icons to vote out.
