Okay, so it's not really a legitimate update -- I simply linked the preliminary layout on the main page in a Site Talk blurb all of two or three people will read. And remember all of that bitching I did about the unsightly blank space left when the right and left content columns are uneven? I think I settled on an acceptable "fix" for it -- or at least something that breaks up the monotony of the flat color. Check it out here and here (scroll down). Rockin'.

I think I'll try to watch some of The Butterfly Effect now. Ja!

Yep -- the new Scary-Crayon layout (more/less; I'm not finished with it) can be glimpsed here, so check it out and tell me what you think. Those links beneath the header will be graphics in the final version, and the Section Archives block, of course, will be absent from the sidebar, but other than those (and the fact that not all of the section archive links work; note the strikethroughs) this should give you a pretty good idea of what the final page will look like. Oh, and of course the current text graphics will be replaced with ones that better fit the color scheme. (more...)

NEW ARTICLE!!! As promised, Scary-Crayon presents... He's Not Fucking Into You. Also, as noted in the Site Talk block (which has also been updated), this article is more/less what the updated layout will look like, so enjoy and get used to it. Whenever I get around to updating the main and archive pages, you'll have it to look at, along with a few more hand-drawn pieces for decoration and whatnot. I'm really pleased with how it's turning out.

Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy the new article -- especially you ladies out there. Comment or send an e-mail and let me know what you think of the advice therein! It's better than any of Oprah's bullshit, that's for sure.

Ja ne, minna-san!

First off, thanks to Stefan for donating to the Scary-Crayon cause! I really appreciate the support, especially with the site being about to exceed its bandwidth for the billing period yet again. That TMNT anime review sure is popular. (more...)

Yep! Again, two short pieces as opposed to full articles, but hopefully I'll have time to sit down and work on something this weekend. So first up, we've got Crayon Poetry Corner #7, entitled "Filthy Camels". This is a phenomenon I've noticed quite a bit while waiting for the bus -- at the Metro station, no less -- and it makes me fucking mad every time I see it. And am I the only one who thinks the camel looks like Bill Cosby? I guess it spits pudding. And then we've got a new installment of Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash, this one dedicated to the memory of Rodney Dangerfield, who passed away on Tuesday. This one's for you, Rodney.

That's all I've got for now. I anticipate blogging from work, so stay tuned!
