#drawings finished/from today, trying out ideas from Ryan Benjamin.

maybe this is because the song got an okay amount of air time about when I came out but despite how Me'Shell says VERY clearly that she's a woman in the song, I'd assumed "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)" to be about very catty Gay men for the LONGEST time.

IIIIIIIII
CAN'T STAND IT
I KNOW Y'PLANNED IT
I'MA SET STRAIGHT THIS WATERGATE
CAUSE I CAN'T STAND ROCKIN' WHILE I'M IN HEYAH
CAUSE Y'CRYSTAL BALL AIN'T SO CRYSTAL CLEAH
SO WHILE Y'SIT AND WONDER WHY
I GOT THIS FUCKIN' THORN IN MY SIDE
OH MY G-D IT'S A MIRAGE
I'M TELLIN' YOU IT'S SABOTAGE!

SO LISTEN UP CAUSE YOU CAN'T SAY NOTHIN'
I'LL SHUT YOU DOWN WITH A PUSH OF A BUTTON
BUT I'M UP AND I'M GONE
I'M TELLIN' YOU WE KEEP IT ON AND ON!

WHYYYYYYYYYY
OUR BACKS UP AGAINST THE WALL

[can't remember a chunk of it]
CAUSE I CAN'T STAND ROCKIN' WHILE I'M IN THIS PLACE
BECAUSE I FEEL DISGRACE
BECAUSE YOUR ALL IN MY FACE
SO MAKE NO MISTAKES AND SWITCH UP MY CHANNEL
I'M BUDDY RICH WHEN I FLY OFF THE HANDLE

[and that's about where I run out of lyrics memorized]

okay SO the Glenn Miller tune "Pennsylvania 65000" - finally looked it up and it turns out to be the purported oldest still-used phone number in NYC, the Pennsylvania Hotel from 1919. Apparently standardized phone numbers didn't happen till 1947.

The hotel went out of business in 2020 during Covid, and there's now a big hole in the ground where they're going to put up a tower of some sort, so it's good to know Seattle isn't the only city gleefully demolishing stuff to put up new stuff.

Ever kinda want to get cancelled on social media because you spent so much time as the officially bad kid in grade and high school etc being officially the terrible person to ridicule is one of the things you’ve been dreading as inevitable all this time?

should probably NOT express what makes me want to scream wordless anguish THIS time

went to the Asian Family Food Center and among other things got these nice big kohlrabis to roast up for a social thing

my fighter is largely unexceptional, even his highest stat is a 16 STR but I convinced the DM to give him the equivalent of 20 STR PC muscles, and then he saved the entire party from a beholder by

eh, you know, I'm already a shitty person thanks to being the wrong age, wrong marginalized group, the wrong profession, wrong sexuality, wrong whatever

so using the pre-chopped garlic, the cheapest lemon juice and the cheap variety of salt is not really gonna make me THAT much more horrible.

yep that's definitely enough Bluesky for now. Some sore nerves got stepped on with lawn cleats.

mood is really crashy right now

talking about D&D's alignment system revealed any the examples I stated and can think of as Lawful Evil society describe Georgia in the 1980s.

ah yes the video for "I Want to Break Free," the connection between Monty Python's "Most Awful Family in Britain" sketch and "Waiting for the Worms" from Pink Floyd the Wall

Before this morning I had no idea I had opinions about women's studies at all, let alone biased by my incredible bitterness about capitalism.

I apparently have opinions about womens' studies being good and useful, and also how I want to throw heavy objects.

* watching a video about Red Sonja cause the actual movie costs money *

Oh look Frank Cho artwork!

* cue completely inappropriate hero worship *

I hate to be a Greek chorus for this Terribly Funny Internet Cis Male dissing this not very good dinosaur cartoon, and it's weird given I've animated stuff, but I am NOT down with hadrosaur crests that exhibit squash and stretch.

ARGH PTERANODONS ARE NOT DINOSAURS WHY IS THERE A PTERANODON WITH BEDROOM EYES IN A DINOSAUR CARTOON *fumes in taxonomic raaaaaage*

and now drawing a simple human mannequin as a base for your art!

First, draw a sphere to figure out the shape of the head. Add other spheres to figure out positioning for shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee joints.

Then draw EVEN MORE SPHERES! Ia! Ia! You have just drawn YOG SOTHOTH, the OUTER GOD of SPACE and TIME! THE WATCHER AT THE GATE! The five dimensional solids... the colour out of space... heh heh, ever heer tell uv a SHOGGOTH?

So there’s a temporary spending bill thanks to how the house speaker is an unusually vile Nazi, appropriate for how many of my elected officials are basically in an undeclared war on my country. Good to know, NPR.

you could play an uWuarlock, an uWuizard, or a Sowcewuh, but personally I'd go for DruVud, cause that lets you shift into a foxxo or at high levels even an oWolbear like in the movie
