It's true, it's true! Crayon Poetry Corner #4 is up for your enjoyment. Also, I'm trying out a new header graphic on the main page. Eventually I'm planning to draw something for that spot -- either entirely on the PC or by hand and scanned -- but in the meantime this'll do just fine. For the new post, I'm leaning towards all PC graphics, just because they look so odd, though I may make use of some preexisting drawings too (like THE CAT WITH HANDS, even some older childhood works), so we'll see how that turns out. Whenever I get around to it, anyway. For now, you get a bunch of monsters and crap. w00t.

So. Crayon Poetry Corner #4. New main page graphic. Ja for now.

I promised it yesterday, but A Random Lunch #4 is finally up now. By the way, here's how it works -- if I say an article is going up on a specific day (i.e. "today") and it's not up by say 3 or 4 PM, expect it the next day. I try to have new updates ready on the third or fourth (though sometimes it's not until the fifth) day following the last update, so to give me more time I'll try to get 'em out earlier in the day as opposed to later. I haven't done a whole lot of posting articles really early (like at 5 PM on "yesterday") yet, but I don't doubt that I'll do it at some point. Anyway, the latest offering in the Random Lunch series is the best yet in more ways than one. Among other things, it's actually remotely healthy! (more...)

It's a little late, I know, so to make up for it you have my apologies and TWO new pieces -- A Crayon Haiku #14 and... oh bloody hell... a cover review of the September 2003 issue of "O, The Oprah Magazine". Enjoy! If you can.

In other news, Ice Anvil Online is back from its recent hiatus with a review of S.I.C.K. (Serial Insane Clown Killer). Also, Matt of X-Entertainment gives us an update on his fish in the X-E blog. They look like neat little fellers. 🙂

So to reiterate, SC's been updated with A Crayon Haiku #14 and a cover review of "O, The Oprah Magazine", September 2003 issue. Ugh and damnit.

It's a little late, but hopefully it's worth it -- the Madballs once again grace Scary-Crayon with their presence in this review of Madballs: Escape From Orb! Read, laugh, enjoy. And if you're interested in dipping into the archives, check out the Madballs' first appearance on the site in the review of The Madballs History of the World. Freaky fun for everyone! (^O^)

Blog-related stuff: As you may or may not have noticed, I finally got around to adding Sarah and Estella to the links -- I only republished the main page when I did it, so only that and the post pages created since then have those two links, but whenever I do a full republish the rest'll have 'em too, unless I can figure out how to modify archive page templates, in which case none of 'em will have links. And if you happen to be visiting with Mozilla, you might've noticed that the "WES" favicon shows up now for the blog (at least on the main page). w00t.

Oh, and Greg and Brent have posted their answers to the FIVE QUESTIONS, so go have a look. Fun answers all around!

So to recap, Madballs: Escape From Orb! and, um, other stuff. Assuming I don't change my mind out of utter terror, the next SC review will take us back to a very dark place... a place to which I never wanted to return again. Be afraid...

It's been a while since we've had a nice lengthy commentary of sorts, but today's update brings us a rousing examination of some recent advertising trends and examples in an article entitled Stupid Internet Ads! You won't believe who McDonald's got to plug their artery-clogging crap this time around, but as Kurt Angle would say, "It's true, it's true." (more...)
