Rant via the day
Republicans did exactly what Republicans do best; ignore anything like a warning because their agenda is about getting tax cuts for their cronies, and then when it gets Americans killed, it’s an excuse for dumping money at something they want, in this case a couple of wars (different for Katrina and Covid).
Meanwhile as always the loudest conservative voices about this stuff are people who HATE New Yorkers and describe the city as everything they oppose, so fuck that hypocrisy.
So in OTHER news about NYC, they finally named the Lower East Side street corner featured on cover of Paul’s Boutique, after the Beasties. This means it’s time to be insufferable about the album.
Cash flow gettin’ low so I had to pull a job!
I found a nice place t’visit but a better place to rob! #SongLyrics
Also remembering that without the aspect of stress/anxiety attack, waking up in the middle of the night moves from "I can't sleep" to "I don't want to sleep because this is interesting/I hope fun stuff happens/and being at work tomorrow is the opposite of fun stuff happening." It's been so long since I had insomnia without stress/anxiety attack that I kinda forgot that was a thing.
Here's the extended version of "To the Shock of Miss Louise," the merry-go-round song from the BEST VAMPIRE MOVIE EVER IMHO, in case you didn't know there was an extended version.
Today I put flat colors on 8 inked drawings, figuring I can go back and finish them with cut-and-grad coloring later. Most of them were pretty elaborate, this is a lot of color in one day and I used to hate flatting as kinda grindy, but it’s a good exercise in thinking through color. But I stopped at a good point, since I was no longer feeling as conscious about those choices.
coyote sing along hour, Weird Al/Nirvana
what is this song all about
can't figure any lyrics out
she's over-bored and self assured
I know, I know, I know a dirty word
dunno dunno dunno oh no
now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin
and I don't know what I'm singin'
I feel stupid and contageous
here we are now entertain us
we're so loud and incoherent
boy this oughta bug your parents YEAH
I'm worst at what I do best
and for this gift I feel blessed
it's hard to bar gargle zouf
with all these marbles in my mouth
coyote sing along hour
nowwwwww here's a little story I got to tell
about three bad brothers y'know so well
it started way back in history
with me (MCA) and me (Mike D!)
I had a little horsie named Paul Revere
me and my horsie and a quart of beer
ridin' cross the land
kickin' up sand
sherriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demand
one lone Beastie I be
all by myself without nobody
the sun is beatin' down on my baseball hat
the air is gettin' warm, the beer is gettin' flat
lookin' for a girl I ran into a guy
his name is MCA, he said "Howdy!" I said "hi!"
I finally scanned/stitched/cleaned up 15 drawings from February to July sketchbooks. While pulling those I found a batch more drawings which earlier me, correctly, didn't find good enough to ink/scan/color, but which had characters or ideas that are definitely worth using. So I'm gonna redraw this stuff/use the characters in other stuff.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
