Yankee doodle going to town, sticking a feather in his a**hat and calling it macaroni

How long would a caricature of the newest dance moves receiving so much attention in the media take me to polish up if I took a sheet of paper and sat myself down at the drafting table? Here's my doodle idea. I won't blame the texture of glass against my drawing tool on the iPad. I know it's bad, yet a bit advanced for a simple doodle.
I couldn't even manage to fix a background setting because it would only bury the focus of the orange taco wiggling to check, or adjust, the butt plug in his ass. I know I'll have unpleasant nightmares about this tonight, but my day was really awful from the start. I began the laundry, spilled water all over the floor, didn't have enough time to dry my clothes in the sun and besides that, because of the washing machine overflowing, I don't think my stuff got a proper rinse.
Never got around to cleaning my house. The cat keeps shitting on my rug in the living room. The house smells. My lunch was leftover chicken and rise with some pasta salad. And I worry whether the cats in the garage are going to freeze their ass off since I didn't have time to warm the house with the fireplace. Maybe these factors helped to put me in the frame of mind to visualize where those dance moves stem from that the media seems okay with broadcasting worldwide on TV.
I won't bore you with the details of my life other than to cast the blame on the slippery glass drawing pad I use to scribble these cartoons out with a digital pencil. It may save time. It may even be more practical. One thing I can say about the app I used and that is it gets me off the couch rotting my brain watching nothing interesting on TV.
Heavy Metal, the movie, broke the mode. But what about songs like the Beachboys in movies?
Dec. 28th, 2025 05:40 amblanketsin_feedI guess, metal, never having been in the mainstream, even when it played on FM radio in the 80's; so there'll never be movies where a single song could possibly instill the emotional feeling when, say, a song plays with a melancholie feel.
This reddit entry says it better than I ever could.
Heavy Metal in the movies : r/MetalForTheMasses Heavy Metal in the movies Hello everyone, I thought I would start a (hopefully) fun discussion. We know that for the most part, Heavy Metal has never been mainstream, so it's always usually a nice surprise when a heavy metal song is featured in a movie or TV show, made even better if it fits the scene. With the fairly recent popularity of Stranger Things, featuring Metallica's Master of Puppets, the question is, what heavy metal tracks have you guys seen pop up in mainstream media over the years? I was re-watching Gremlins 2 recently, and I forgot that Slayer's Angel of Death plays during when one of the gremlins transforms into a spider hybrid. CLICK for more
The Last Exorcist (Last Exorcist 2, the movie) where, in the ending, the background music during the rampage has the audience going along for the ride. I don't know too many songs by SLAYER. Just the mainstream songs, but I wonder if I started reading their lyrics, I might find a song to play around with as the SUBJECT to invite an elevated heartbeat in the audience. To have the audience stand at their seats, like a real live concert.
That is your next PROMPT
Find a good SLAYER song
Of course, the song subject would have to be related to whatever sequence is in the script. That's why I don't think it's gonna be easy to do with a popular SLAYER song and I'd be inclined to use a song that never got into the mainstream.
I've been improving ever since I learned to make Mexican Rice, but still can't avoid stickiness

Add a pinch of salt if desired. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Reduce & Simmer: As soon as it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Cover & Cook: Immediately cover the pot with its tight-fitting lid. Do NOT lift the lid during cooking. Cook for 15-20 minutes for white rice, or 40-45 minutes for brown rice. CLICK for more
Maybe I use too much water. Been calculating home much water to add when I add a tomato puree into the recipe. I make my own broth from concentrated, that's one cup. The tomato puree is probably more than half a cup. Wondering how reducing my broth from one cup to 3/4 cups of water would improve on reducing the clump factor.
Merry x-mas. Here's my Krampus Christmas lullaby. Hope you like it
Dec. 24th, 2025 09:03 pmblanketsin_feedOddly enough, I haven't had to light a fire to warm the house up for several weeks. I thought for sure the next rain would lower temperatures enough and impel a fire in the chimney. Looks like there won't be a yule-tide theme Christmas this year, (although I never really used a yule log in the past.)
The rain coming down today, and every year around this time, always seems manipulated, no doubt something that's corporate sponsored, eager to preserve the integrity of the Pasadena Rose Parade. I guess if the moisture is drained from the atmosphere one week before the event, nothing is left for a natural downpour on New Year's day.
What are your plans for New Year's Eve?
The last time, and probably the first time, I ever celebrated the new year was something like 2007ish when I was dating a co-worker.
Maybe I just feel it's too fucking cold to go out. Plus, there's the traffic factor and the number of crazies out there on NYE, including rogue cops eager to pin you for drinking and driving.
I mean, there's been a few times when I tried to do things solo. Here in downtown, there's no need to drive. That shit blows for introverts, though. Sitting at the bar with nobody to talk to, waiting for midnight. I don't know what could have gotten over me to pull something like that off, other than having grown up and experiencing family celebrations and popping a bunch of balloons filled with bad breath at the stroke of midnight. It would be one thing to have helium filled balloons floating along the ceiling and popping them at midnight, but being the youngest of three, it was my job to huff and puff those balloons into shape and string them along the ceiling.
We had been sneaking around after work going to dinner together and this went on for months as I remember one time we had gone to Saddle Ranch on my birthday to drink AMFs. Adios Mother Fuckers. Then another memory byte that sticks was the Whiskey a go-go on New Year's Eve. The relationship could've lasted somewhere between 9 months or 3 months, depending on what came first, the NYE celebration or my birthday, but since I've never really been able to hold onto a relationship longer than 6 months, my guess is that we celebrated NYE before celebrating my birthday.
A word of advice… doesn't matter how introverted you may be, dating co-workers, especially if you like your job, is a bad bad idea. I don't know how, because my friend with benefits transferred to another location when things got sour, but I had heard she passed away. WHAT-THE-DICK! she was like ten or 15 years younger than me. May she rest in peace, but it would've been nice to learn how it was she departed this place. Makes me feel like I may be poisonous and she died from long exposure to me.
