somehow I went from My Sharona to songs about toilets

HERE IT COMES BABY I'M DROPPIN' MAH LOAD!
AH'M NOT JUST UP ON IT, AH *AM* THE COMMODE!
THE POWER OF THE TOILET MUST NEVER BE ABUSED
HE MUST BE SPONGED HE MUST BE PLUNGED OR CARNAGE WILL ENSUE!
IF A DEAD SHEEP WERE TO CLOG HIM, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD ARISE?
MAYBE HE'D CALL THE MASTER. WOULDN'T *THAT* BE A SURPRISE?

I wanna flush like a toilet to the sea
Flush like a toilet let my spirit carry me
I wanna flush like a toilet till I'm free
whoooaaaa there's a solution

AND NOW it's the My Sharona Hour! A solid hour of nothing but My Sharona covers!

"It's like they took this heteronormative anthem and made it so grunge it's practically about going to the Federal Way Fred Meyers in an old van, at 2 AM, to buy cigarettes, during a torrential downpour."

McCaig talks about designing Padme; about writing a story by "flipping it" like artwork, and gives the example of making a woman the main character because it's done less often; and he talks about trying to make narrative drawings based on Lucas' really sketchy initial suggestions and guesswork.

I put all this together to get; with no actual script to work with, McCaig makes some educated guesses, and "flips it," so Padme is his protagonist - which is why he focuses on designing her.

So I just realized something about the Star Wars prequels.

I’ve watched a lot of interviews with Iain McCaig, he’s one of my favorite artists and basically behind Padme’s design as well as a lot of storyboarding.

Reminded of my Grampa's story about bodily throwing a German-American Bund member out of a train onto the platform WHILE IN UNIFORM, sometime during the lead in to WWII. I have no clue how he didn't get some sort of reprimand for this. No indication of any regrets or doubts. This is the same grandfather who got teary-eyed telling me about the time he was by all rights supposed to shoot someone and he just couldn't do it. That's how badly they pissed him off.

been a while and even if I'm not at work...

OH YEAAAAHHHHHH *cranks Khachaturian's "Adagio" from Gayaneh, jogs, throws punches in the air *

I feel really dumb now that I've successfully installed Telegram on a laptop, transferred an album to my phone and figured out how to block a phone number.

Something that really bothers me;

I'm poor so donating any amount of money to anything is *probably* too much, even if it's just giving a homeless person an entire dollar. Giving to anything is a choice; do I help someone asking for help with medical expenses online? Which means I'm not helping someone else with rent or contributing to a big group like NRDC or NARAL.

Meanwhile it seems like rich people can just throw money at anything and frequently it's meaner.

crying jags to the Jurassic Park soundtrack are just one of the many services we provide!

Obviously I'd prefer this to "great" means somehow "absurdly racist, our agriculture and fisheries are going away, and a lot of our coastline will be underwater in 10-30 years, but tbh, the above is a pretty capitalistic fantasy, which is kinda rank in a lot of ways, and most issues which could be seen as "social" only have a huge economic impact.

In some alternate universe "Make America Great Again" was the slogan for bypassing (perceived) social issues by focusing on economics, specifically "make America have a viable MANUFACTURING BASE again," acknowledging a need for job alternatives to expensive nigh-mandated college educations and that a country with a strong alternative energy game might really dominate markets. (I'd like to hope this AU has more focus on unions, public transit and working class home ownership.)

The other #painting from this morning was some really lurid porn I drew and scanned back in December last year. There's a pen0r so it is really, REALLY not work safe!

One of two #paintings from this morning, a WEMPIRE! buahahah.

"Why can't you date that nice General Riekan?"
"He's dead, Dad."
"Well what about the Calrissian boy, he's handsome, he's a professional, he's kind..."
"DAD! He's canonically ROBOSEXUAL!"

The Empire Strikes Back remade as a romcom in which Darth Vader, facing a middle-age crisis, desperately tries to exert control over his kids' life decisions to become a doo-gooder Unitarian clergyman and date someone he doesn't like, respectively.

DARKNESS! IMPRISONING ME! ALL THAT I SEE! ABSOLUTE HORROR!
I CANNOT LIVE! I CANNOT DIE! WHHAAAAAAGHHHHH
