Well, I was definitely surprised at how much I enjoyed myself at that reunion. I pretty much expected to be sitting on a stool with my back to the bar, watching all of the people who actually knew and remembered each other mingling and having a good time while I drank away my sorrows and hummed Billy Joel's "Pianoman" to myself, but to my surprise people not only recognized and remembered me but actually seemed glad to catch up with me (and in direct violation of the "I hate everyone" rule, the reverse was true as well). So yeah, it was great. In the coming days I'll probably post a few more pics from the event (or not; we'll see), but in the meantime here are a couple... (more...)

So. Friday the 13th feast o' fright has come and gone, but if you haven't checked out that special Scary-Crayon update (or if you want to read those pieces again; they'll be there as long as the site is), you can still enjoy our spooky leftovers. And do leave comments on the previous entry! Or send an e-mail. But gimme feedback! (more...)

Yes, it did! In addition to a new background, we've got two new dishes for you to try in today's FRIDAY THE 13TH fright feast. Yum! For an appetizer, there's A Crayon Haiku: FRIDAY the 13th Edition. And then there's the main course -- a full and lengthy review of Campfire Stories! I literally stayed up allllll night long working on these things, so I hope you enjoy them. And do leave comments! I like comments.

It's funny that I used a food analogy for an update that has no food articles at all! Actually, no it's not. Not really. But I'm so tired that it's funny to me. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I'm thinking if I try to get a nap in there's no way I'll be able to wake up for work at 5, so I'll probably just end up watching more Cutey Honey and trying not to pass out. Anyway, ja.

I'm still awake. From yesterday. Soon I will sleep.

But first:

Friday's horrific Scary-Crayon film review is coming along nicely. I've still got nearly 300 screencaps to wade through (ugh), but in the process of taking all those shots I penned about half of the summary, so that's good. Also, the new background is ready. It'll go up tomorrow as well. Hurrah!

This has been a pretty slow week for e-mails. And hey, people I owe e-mails, I haven't forgotten about you. Just so you know. Ok? (more...)

So I've been watching more of Cutey Honey, which I've discovered is actually the New Cutey Honey. It says it right on there, but I apparently wasn't looking very closely and wouldn't have noticed if there hadn't been a few flashbacks containing stuff I haven't seen. But as I was watching, I was thinking, "Man, this animation is incredible for a 1970s cartoon!" Now it makes a little more sense, but still, those flashbacks are pretty well animated too. Or maybe they updated the flashbacks? I dunno. Either way, I'm interested in checking out the original Cutey Honey episodes (not sure where I'd get any, but I'll look into it), since I'm enjoying this new series so far. It's fun action with a bit o' chesecake. I like cheesecake. Three episodes in, I highly recommend it. (more...)
