Quick post. So I started job #2 yesterday -- in case I didn't mention it before, I'm going to be filling an administrative clerk position at the local community college while another employee is out on extended sick leave. There wasn't a lot I could do on my first day, what with me not having the requisite keys and computer passwords to do what I'll eventually be doing, so I was mostly running errands and xeroxing forms and whatnot. It's a fulltime position (temporary, though, so no benefits), and with me keeping the bookstore job, for at least the next month I'll be working seven days a week. That is, I'm going to be swamped, but hopefully I'll find time to update Scary-Crayon at least once a week. As always, though I'll shoot for two updates. (more...)

YEP! I'm about ready to pass out, but I couldn't crash before finishing Leatherhead and Don's Netiquette Special!!! It's more of a rant on my part than anything else, with Super Don and Leatherhead as mouthpieces (though there is some "witty" banter in there, because there always is), but hopefully it'll open a few eyes or something. And I'm trying a new image referral script out, so if you notice any cow anuses popping up around the site, shoot me an e-mail and I'll try to fix it. It should only show up for foreign referrals, but then again I don't exactly know what I'm doing here... Anyway, hope you enjoy the piece. (more...)

Hello furenzu! No Scary-Crayon updates today (either tomorrow or Friday, I'm thinking, and not the Hellraiser piece, but another one I need to photograph, and thanks, Dave, for your question -- I intend to answer it in the article itself, in the analytical musings that follow the description of the dream!), but I do have some drawings to share. Also, I got a call yesterday about a month-long temp job at the county community college, which I've accepted, but I have yet to be called back and told about the specifics of it. Suffice it to say that since I'm still going to be working part-time at the bookstore (a few closing shifts a week), I'll be pretty busy for the next month or so. Hopefully I'll still have time to update SC at least once a week, even if it's short pieces like installments of Crayon Poetry Corner and A Crayon Haiku. Or dream things. I don't imagine that piece will be terribly long either. Long enough, though.

So, drawings! This first one should appeal to Bob, Chris, and De (and hopefully others), so do let me know what you think, guys. It's...

the BATMAN!!!

Yep. (more...)

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck I just had a really scary dream. I'd started to write a long blog post detailing it, but hell I think I'm going to actually include the images -- yes... it will have images, because fuck man when I woke up I was seeing dripping entrails and Pinhead's face in all sorts of objects in my room -- and some screencaps from Hellraiser I and post it as a bonus Scary-Crayon entry. Heh... that ought to help make up for the recent lack of updates... (more...)

There's still more time in between updates than I'd like, but hopefully I'll get back into something resembling a rhythm soon. Even two irregular updates a week would be nice. Anyway, here's A Random Lunch #7! Perceptive visitors to the site might notice that there hasn't yet been A Random Lunch #6... #5 was posted a couple of months ago, but nothing since then. That's intentional. I have my reasons, but really, do I need them? The segment's called A Random Lunch, after all... and given the element of randomness present, there's no reason why I should be bound to posting them in order. So nyah. Anyway, enjoy!

I'm opening in the morning at the bookstore (ugh), so I guess I should be heading off to bed. But at least I've got a few days off following that. Then more closing fun! Yay! No, those aren't celebratory fireworks... that's the sound of me shooting myself multiple times. BECAUSE IT'S THE FUNNEST!!! Bonus points for anyone who can name the source (more/less) of the italicized line.

Aaaand I'm out. Ja for now, minna-san.
