Tonight's one of those nights on which I'd like to hang myself and talk to the jellyfish. One of those nights on which I'd just like to go to sleep, yes, and not wake up in the morning, or ever again. Tonight is filled with envy for the dead. (more...)

If you click the link above (and have been to the site since Thursday), you'll notice that there are no new articles on Scary-Crayon. So what could it be? Notice anything different at all? Hmmmmmmm???

Yeah, new main page layout. It's a temporary thing, mind you, but the final layout won't be too much different. The section links will probably be text links (perhaps flanked by Madballs images or something :D), and the section indices will probably look more like the main page, with the sidebar and such. There'll be a new site header graphic. That's about it. (more...)

So I finally got around to making these. Here, have a look see. (more...)

On her blog, Val posts her own Friday Five questions, which are a lot more interesting than the ones on the "official" Friday Five site. So I'm gonna answer 'em. 🙂

1. At what age did you start realizing how weird the concept of the Easter Bunny really is?

I'm not sure the concept of the Easter Bunny is all that weird, given some of the other holiday concepts we've got going on. I mean, yeah, he/she is a bunny that hops around handing out glitter-painted hard-boiled eggs and chocolates to good little children, but we've also got a fat guy who consumes billions of cookies in one night while traveling 'round the world delivering toys in a sleigh pulled by eight (or nine) flying reindeer. We've got naked babies with wings who go around shooting people in the asses with poison-tipped arrows that make them fall in love with the first person they see. We've got a holiday on which children dress up as fantasy characters and rotting corpses and go door-to-door threatening mischief and violence unless their demands for candy are met. And we've got a holiday that serves no purpose other than to indulge the gluttonous American spirit, to justify the murder of hordes of turkeys, and to facilitate the sale of plus-sized winter clothing. Suddenly the Easter Bunny doesn't seem so strange, and I never really thought much about him/her at all, really. The Cadbury Bunny was always an interesting character, though. He sounded like a chicken. (more...)

Yep, comments are fixed and active and all of that. I was having some problems with the script, but then I e-mailed Jesse (the creator of Reblogger, which is what I'm using) with a few questions, and then I started tinkering with the script myself (though lacking knowledge of Perl...) to see if I could figure anything out. The changes I made to the script seemed to work pretty well...and then just as I finished I heard back from Jesse. That's pretty quick tech support for a free program made by one guy, I'll say. I really appreciate his efforts -- and I'm sure the version on the site will be updated with the fixes -- but I think I'm gonna stick with my changes for now, just so I can feel special and stuff. If I get terribly bored someday, maybe I'll even try to add smileys. 😉 (more...)
