Tina posted today with a link to oneword, a site that presents one with a word and then gives the person 60 seconds to write about it, so I decided to pop over and give it a try. Today's secret word was "worth"! For the rest of the day, whenever anyone says the secret word, SCREAM REAL LOUD! Okay? Let's try it! Here's what I wrote, with the secret word boldfaced:

A penny is worth a thousand thoughts. But what is a nickel worth? The answer is not as simple as you would think. And hey, why are a thousand thoughts worth so little? This is bullshit, and reading this isn't worth your time. So don't! Stop right now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

P.S. Looking over what other folks wrote, it's kind of interesting that most of the responses make some kind of mention of money (sadly, mine included). Tina's doesn't, though. Self-centered lass. ;P

So it's 2005 -- best wishes for everyone in the new year. Of course, soon enough I'll have my depressing recap of the past year and my even more depressing projections for the coming year (coupled with my annual hope/wish/plea/prayer that this year is my last), but in the meantime here are a few pics to help you usher in the new year in your own homes. (more...)

So I almost went with sadwes.com, but then it dawned on me that if I ever stopped being sad -- which I don't anticipate happening anytime soon, or ever, really, until my inevitable death, anyway, but still -- I'd have to change the URL and that would be more trouble than it's worth.

Presently I'm leaning towards wesuri.com, but other possibilities include sickwes.com and westuary.com, the latter of which I think is really clever and somewhat appropriate but is also somehow slightly off. And then there are things like caveofwes.com and hauntofwes.com and such.

But that's what I'm about to do! Even though I don't feel quite up to it yet. Ugh.

By the way -- the buttons have been pressed, and very soon Scary-Crayon will be coming to you live from a new hosting plan with lots more stuff (including a 100GB monthly bandwidth cap)! I doubt you'll notice too much of a difference, though, save my complaining about the monthly fee and shouting, "HEY, CRAYON FANS! PLZ DONATE."

One thing that will be different, though, is that my personal stuff will no longer be relegated to a subdomain of SC! That's right; I'll soon be blogging to you from my own domain. Any suggestions for what I should call it? At the moment, wes-sama.com, wesland.com, bluewes.com, and hailwes.com are all viable possibilities. Or maybe wezuri.com? Suggestions please!

I hope everyone out there is doing well.
