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...)

And it's about damned time, too. So today (or whenever), we cordially invite you to take a look at the Scary-Crayon review of Red Lobster's Hidden Treasure Pack! Hope you have as much fun reading this article as I did writing it. I think it turned out pretty well, too! For some reason, these late-night articles always strike me as much more entertaining than the ones I write during daylight hours. But maybe that's just me. 🙂

Who knows when I'll have the next piece up, but I'm hoping to have a spooky film review ready (not exactly sure which one it'll be yet, but I've narrowed it down to two or possibly four choices...) for the upcoming Friday the 13th. No promises, though.

Anyway, ja!

No, I don't have the latest Scary-Crayon piece for you yet -- I was planning to write it tonight (like, right about now), but I'd thought that I was closing tomorrow instead of working from 11-6, which is apparently what I'm scheduled for. Sorry 'bout that. For Monday, then. I promise.

Maybe. :/ (more...)

Just finished penning the first draft (i.e., the hard, handwritten copy) of a new short story. I don't think it's all that great, but hell, it's done, and it's the first handwritten story I've finished in a while, so hopefully it'll be the start of me finishing even more in the weeks to come. I'm always having ideas for new stories -- so many that I don't even remember most of them, being left with only that feeling that I've forgotten something great and cursing myself for not writing it down, but even without these I've still got way more story ideas than I have time to actually write -- so the hardest part will be figuring out which story I should work on next. And I've got a bunch of older, unfinished stories too... so much to do. (more...)

So today I took a moment to drop in on some blogs that I haven't had much time to visit lately, what with the job and Scary-Crayon and my other pursuits (in the past few days I've finished reading The Zombie Survival Guide, read a few short stories, most of which sucked, and started writing another short story that I hope to finish either tonight or tomorrow). During the past few days, Caren wrote a lot more than she usually does, which is cool, since Caren and her musings are both pretty interesting. Kitzi's posting regularly again (told you you wouldn't be gone long :P). She apparently also liked Barack Obama's speech, which I thought was kinda lame, but then I think all political speeches are lame because they're aiming at a common denominator which (if I may say so myself) is decidedly beneath me. Why are you talking so slowly? Did you know that the entire time you spoke, the networks were flashing text beneath you that earmarked you as "the first black" this or your grandfather as "the first black" that, etc., etc.? Why are you talking about there being one America when during the majority of your speech you've been referring to people not by their names, but with emphasis on where they came from or the color of their skin and not who they are? Suck off, 'bama. Anon did a brief roundup of the blogs he reads. And (among others; hello to those of you I didn't mention!) Wendy outed herself as a survivor of sexual violence. (more...)
