Last night I went to a DC goth club with an old friend and had a pretty good time! We pretty much sat at the bar and talked while I got really drunk and kissed her hand at one point and made the occasional slurred attempt to not-quite-seriously-but-still hit on her -- which she deftly parried; touche, mes ami! -- but I'm sober now and it's all good, I think. Silly drunken Wes! It's not totally my fault, though -- she was hot on that dance floor! The enthusiasm about the candy dish was adorable, too. Also, she kinda saved the night, because if she hadn't written down the address to the place we would've looked for it all night or eventually gone somewhere else. Seriously -- I showed up to the area early to see if I could find the place and wandered unsuccessfully for about 45 mins! Good looking out there, Sheriff. 😉 (more...)

Okay. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- what's with all the dating anxiety?

Seriously. The Anonymous Blogger is whining about his lack of a relationship. Dawn's upset because God hasn't sent her an angel in the flesh. All The Anonymous Blogette ever writes about is dating. WHO BLOODY CARES ABOUT DATING? They do, obviously. But why? (more...)

Again, two quick pieces -- A Crayon Haiku #24 and Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #24! I know I promised an AMAZING article this week, but it'll have to wait until at least next week, since I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to post it. I've since made a decision, however, and I think I'm going to release it in two parts, so look for part one soon. I also got pretty caught up with Hot Flashes this week -- I've already done the next four of them and the ideas just keep coming. And the new "template" guarantees EVEN MORE Hot Flashes to come, though of course I won't stop drawing new ones to keep you smilin'. Anyway, enjoy! 😀

It's time once again for Crayon Poetry Corner! In this latest installment, we see how one might go about soliciting a photograph from a beautiful stranger. Dedicated to all of the beautiful people out there who add a little light to my dark, dark days simply by catching my eye.

Seems like I meant to write something else tonight, but I can't really remember what it was. Oh well! Ja. 🙂

Man, lots of updates these past few days! Two more pieces tonight -- a sad Crayon Haiku farewell to the rodent Sake and a review of Constantine: The Hellblazer Collection. And also, as noted in the topic, SC received a donation! Thanks a lot, Molly! 🙂

By the way, here's a question regarding donations. I've been considering putting up some kind of page on the site to display/thank contributors, but I've been hesitant to do so because I don't want people to donate for the sole purpose of getting on the list and having their names showcased on the site -- I want them to donate because they actually like our content! That's also the reason I'm not sending out little doodles and personalized Hot Flash-type thank you cards and stuff, though I've considered that too. And in some cases I've avoided naming names to protect the innocent. But what do y'all think? Voice your opinion! 😀

By the way, tonight I fucked up and ended up gluing my fingers together again. If I keep this up, I'll have no fingerprints! Hmmm...
