BOOYAH! Scary-Crayon is updated! In addition to those two pieces I gave blog readers a sneak-preview of this morning -- A Crayon Haiku #16 and Crayon Poetry Corner: Resident Evil 2 Edition -- you can now satisfy your weird food cravings with two new Foodstuffs selections -- THE SANDWICH THAT PETRIFIES THE GODS and Turtle Spew. The former is by far the most fearsome, though I have a feeling that many folks will go for the latter, especially with the TMNT tie-in. Oh, and Caren should like Turtle Spew as well. It's got oatmeal in it. 🙂

Hopefully those will keep folks entertained for the next week, since I leave for NYC early in the morning! I'm not sure if I'll be able to update the blog or answer e-mail and such, but we'll see. And I plan on getting in one more post before I shut down the PC, so I'll see you then. Ja!

Okay, with the exception of the modifications to the main and archive pages, everything's all set for today's massive Scary-Crayon update. Unfortunately, I've got to get ready and hurry off to work, so I won't be able to update until I get back, but we're definitely on track to have that up around 6 or 7-ish. (more...)

Yep, another for the pile -- this one for my short piece entitled "Mold Country". It's funny how these fiction rejections tend to come back within days of each other, whether I sent them out at the same time or not -- it's like the editors of various rags conspire to make sure I get my rejections right together in order to discourage me from wasting their time with further short story submissions. I fully expect to have that third one in my possession before I leave for NYC. Hell, there's the mailman... maybe it's out there RIGHT NOW! We'll find out in a bit.

Ja for now.

Okay, I decided to go ahead and post that piece now, just to give people something to tide them over until Friday's more substantial update. So here it is -- A Crayon Haiku: Resident Evil 2 Edition. The images are from an old demo version of Resident Evil 2 for the PC that I apparently took a bunch of screencaps from five or so years ago, so upon digging them up I just took a handful of the buggers and wrote haikus about each. Enjoy!

So after closing those five nights in a row, I've got a couple of days to rest and get ready for that trip before going back in on Friday. Ugh. I might post again today with more HORROR FROM THE BOOKSTORE!!!! Might not. We'll see. Until next time... ja.
