So I ran out the door without getting any food (I never eat breakfast, but I'll usually shove a cereal bar or a Star Crunch in my bag for later consumption) and now I am bloody starving! I did pack a lunch today -- a french fry and onion ring sandwich -- but I can't eat that now, because then I will be starving when I take my lunch in an hour or so! MADNESS, I TELL YOU!

And speaking of appetites... no, I'm not going to say anything. Another HGWA stopped into the office earlier today, though, and "droolworthy" is today's secret word! Actually, it's odd -- she was wearing pretty much the exact same thing that the one who works here is wearing today. Maybe it's just their clothes that I want! Clothes and accents. Yes.

Also, 20 Questions rocks! It's more fun to win with things that are in its database, since then you can see where your answers differed from what's in its databank. It has Godzilla in there! Later, gators!

Okay, so I was in the process of writing a post and suddenly it occurred to me that with an illustration and a few line breaks it could serve as an installment of Crayon Poetry Corner, so look for that around Friday. Actually, maybe I'll post it tonight. I should have another Scary-Crayon film review ready soon -- I was thinking I'd do that tonight -- but maybe I'll post that one on Friday so that it'll be the top article on the site going into the weekend. (more...)

Okay, so I just went into the bathroom here at work and saw a handful of Fruity Pebbles in the sink! They were way too intact to have been regurgitated, meaning that some fool actually meant to waste Fruity Pebbles by throwing them into the sink! WHY?!?! Everyone likes Fruity Pebbles. 'Cause they're delicious.

Speaking of cereal, I ate cereal for dinner last night and woke up thinner! Yes! I think I will eat cereal again tonight. Also, I will write a short poem about it:

If you eat cereal for dinner,
you could wake up thinner!
I did, you see --
thinner is me.

Hurrah!

I think I've seen a total of two movies in the theater this year, both of which I watched during the past few weeks. So here are brief reviews of them!

Sin City: I really wanted to like this one. Before I saw the movie, I checked out and read four of the original Frank Miller graphic novels (only one of which was used in the film, but that was all we had at the bookstore). I read up on the genre of film noir and rewatched D.O.A. and watched The World Gone Mad and The Amazing Mr. X (which has been described as film noir by some, though it lacks the familiar pre-1960s criminal underground connection). I can't remember whether I watched Mulholland Falls (another noish film) before or after I saw Sin City -- I'm thinking after -- but the point is that I was preparing myself for this film. I'd heard so many good things about it, read so many rave reviews from film critics whose opinions I respect, seen the trailers and comic comparisons -- it looked bloody amazing -- I was expecting to flat out love this movie.

Rejoice! A Crayon Haiku #29 is now online. Enjoy, minna-san!
