I just registered. Wish me luck! With all of this work I'm doing (not to mention updating SC at least once a week), I'll need it. @_@

Oh, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Yes, it did -- with Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #4! Enjoy!

And if you haven't read the previous post yet (in which I actually say something!), please do so and leave a comment. Thanks much!

I sleep now.

With Dawn's ongoing crusade against Planned Parenthood and her recent tirades against Kerry -- particularly with respect to the topic of abortion -- I figured I'd weigh in on the matter. Yep, it's time for another political post.

As could probably be inferred by previous political entries and whatnot, I'm not a fan of the President. Yes, I think he's a moron. His record doesn't impress me in the least. But more than that, I disagree with him on a number of key issues. A while back I touched on the issue of same-sex marriage -- which I am for. I think the decision to go to war with Iraq was a grave mistake. A nation should only go to war as a last resort, and clearly the situation with Iraq had not yet escalated to that point. (Not to mention that there were no weapons of mass destruction to be found.) But today, let's talk about abortion. (more...)

Finally. So in addition to the new layout, we've got A Crayon Haiku #18 and that rant some of you saw here before I decided to redirect it to SC. Now entitled The Happy Shit-Sniffers, it's even got a few illustrations. Given that I'll be stretched for time (what with fucking 60+ hour 7-day work weeks...) and can knock these pieces off pretty quickly as events happen at work (and as work affords me plenty of things to rant about, even more so since I'm a little more irritable due to being so overextended), I'd expect a few more of these. But whenever I find the time, I'd like to get some more Print Reviews and Spectare pieces up. Not to mention all those backlogged articles from NYC and earlier. Sigh.

And now I must sleep so I can wake up in three hours to get ready for work! Ja.   🙁

P.S. I made the text slightly bigger.

Thanks for all of the comments and advice regarding the bipolar girl -- she stopped in on Friday and again today, but not only did she not touch me, she didn't even come near me. I'm thinking it has something to do with my face, since it's badly bruised and bleeding and scabbed up at the moment, which would make touching it quite the no-no. Or maybe she's beginning to get the hint? I dunno. (more...)
