Thus revealed, the creature buried its nose in the tire-tilled soil...

Yesteday, among a couple of other dvds, I picked up a used copy of Johnny Suede. Given Johnny's wacky hairdo and the description on the back of the box, I was expecting something along the lines of a live-action "Johnny Bravo" cartoon, but it turned out to be a lot less strange -- better in some ways, though not quite far-out wacky enough to work for a full review on Scary-Crayon (which admittedly was my main motivation for picking up the film). But it was an interesting film to watch, since it's a lot like the kind of movie I'd write (and have written part of, in a screenwriting class back at Yale), especially with characters named "Flip Doubt" and "Freak Storm". And whaddya know, Freak Storm was played by none other than Nick Cave (of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds)! Dunno if you're reading, Hannah, but you'd love this movie. 😉 (more...)

Ask me two questions!
Category: Miscellany

Just finished writing up the latest Scary-Crayon feature -- I think I'll upload it sometime this evening. Maybe a little earlier. Who knows. You'll enjoy it, I think. If you can bear to read through it all, that is. It has words. Lots of them.

Right now it is hot as low draggin' balls in this house. Per some of the recent posts, if I must go to hell, I hope I get an ice hell. I can't take this heat. Bloody hell. It's sweltering and I'm melting. Like the witch when Dorothy poured water on her. Except I wish someone would pour water on me. Cold water. It would feel so nice. I need an ice bath. (more...)

Cereal Killers HEROES!!!!

Still working on a response to Mac's three posts (one-two-three) that addressed my previous entry entitled "Why I am not a Christian (in part)". From the part that I've written so far, it's shaping up to be a lengthy amalgamation of my thoughts on the matter rather than a sustained and pointed reply, but it should be a good read for those of you interested in the subject. I should get it up tomorrow, but if not, Sunday for sure. In the meantime...

Fruity Pebbles, SUPERMAN, and Cocoa Pebbles!!!

Yep. Totally awesome. The Man of Steel sandwiched in between two boxes of the greatest cereals ever -- Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. I'm stoked and quite pleased, too. (more...)

Intermission. Birds... Stuff! Cookies?
Category: Miscellany

First off, thanks to all who commented and e-mailed me in response to the recent posts regarding Christianity. Mac, by the way, has written two additional posts in response to that other one and some of the comments that I've posted here and on his site, so give those a look if you're interested in the discussion. I plan to respond to both of those (and a number of the comments therein) in one more big post to cap off this present discussion, but not tonight. I was thinking I would, but I'm exhausted. Maybe tomorrow. And then we'll go back to the wacky and the usual exploits of my life for a while. I was digging through some of my old blog entries -- like, way before Scary-Crayon and this current blog -- and there's a lot of stuff in there I'd like to post again for the current audience. Like really freaky dreams and stuff.

Anyway. Tonight, a few brief notes on stuff. (more...)

More links!
Category: Miscellany

Just a quick post to clear some windows I've been keeping open on the desktop since who bloody knows when. A lot of them were linked in blog entries from some of the people in my links (I don't remember who linked what), so you may have seen some of them before. But if you haven't, they're kind of interesting. So check 'em out! (more...)
