Okay, should have another Scary-Crayon article for you sometime later today, and believe me when I tell you that it's shaping up to be really scary stuff. But to temper the horror, I'll probably throw up another Crayon Haiku as well.

So, how 'bout them dreams? I just had a rather strange one. (more...)

So I'm having a bit of a problem with the computer right now. Tried to run the virus scanner but after the thing ran for about an hour and a half (no viruses found thus far) and had still gone almost nowhere I opened up the window to find that it had wasted most of that time scanning some temporary internet files, yet these files didn't go away when I cleared the IE cache. Grrr! So I stopped the virus scanner to go get rid of these -- apparently I'm supposed to run Disk Cleanup to get rid of them -- and Disk Cleanup won't run. It starts, but then it hangs while scanning old files for compression purposes so that it can tell me how much space I'd stand to gain by letting it do its cleaning work. I DON'T CARE; I JUST WANT THE FILES GONE! So yeah, it's pissing me off. (more...)

It's time for another quiz!

Take the quiz: "Which type of pie are you?"

Uh...? You are HUMBLE PIE!

Dark, shady, depressed, all qualities of either someone with low esteem,
or someone who just ate an anchovy pizza before taking this quiz.
No one quite understands you, which give you a maniac GENIUS aura.
You have more hidden talents than the world around you, or so it seems.
Flaunt your talents to get the appreciation that you deserve.

Well alrighty then. (more...)

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...

Nothing new tonight, but since Tina commented on the "Angel" finale entry and wanted to know the extent of my grievances with the "Buffy" series finale, I popped over to a Buffy board on which I've been posting for some time and looked up my old comments on it. In case it doesn't come out as well in these older reviews (though I think it does), I'll preface these remarks by noting that my dislike of the series finale was the logical end of my immense disappointment with the final season as a whole. And, of course, I'd been upset with the series since the beginning of Season 6, since I felt then and still feel to this day that Buffy should've ended with Season 5. In addition to Buffy's ultimate sacrifice and the rather triumphant ending despite her death, it was pretty much driven home that while there might have been fun from time to time, the life of the Slayer must ultimately be an unpleasant one, fraught with conflict... and that the Slayer's fight never really ends until she's dead.
