Best and worst type articles are admittedly pretty common, but we’ve never done one here at Scary-Crayon before now — so I’m especially glad that my pals Greg of Pop Arena and Molly of Alligator Juice were willing to play along and participate in this triple-team-up feature. I’m really pleased with how diverse the lists turned out, too. Greg’s article draws upon his experiences as a Target employee, Molly’s selections are influenced by her status as a card-carrying televisiophile, and our own contribution is pretty long-winded and all over the place… just like much of the site. 😛
I’ve also tried to practice some of my new image editing techniques in this one, so hopefully you’ll be seeing more of the same in 2007. I’m particularly pleased with the way the Dalek came out — the pic in the article is a photo of the actual bath and shower gel container. (I used an orange background to make it easier to isolate the dome lights and the discs on the eyestalk; you can sort of see the color reflected on the Dalek’s base.) You might be able to get a better deal on eBay (I did), but you can also order your own Dalek bath and shower gel at Who North America. Personally — although it would hurt me to drop the $50; you can kinda tell how frugal/cheap I am from reading this article — I’m now leaning towards purchasing this Dalek. This one is also pretty neat, though. And of course there are the micro Daleks. I sure like Daleks.
All for now, then — thanks for reading, and do check out Molly and Greg’s pieces as well. Again, we wish you all the best in 2007… whatever you are. That’s a Count Duckula reference, btw.
P.S. Scary-Crayon’s three-year anniversary is just ten days away! I may not have anything fantastic to post on it, but still. Mark your calendars! Donate generous sums of money! Or just keep reading and making the occasional comment that doesn’t make my head hurt. No matter which avenue you choose, your support will be greatly appreciated. 🙂
This update was a lot of fun! I learned many thing. I also didn’t realize, until this very moment, how many of my choices WERE TV-related. Odd!
