BLOOMED DECAY #2

This is the counterpart to my wolf skull! Don’t worry, the deer in the last post is not related to this one, despite the similar mushrooms haha. Nature claims more bone on a different, opposite yet alike skull. This one was as much of a blast as the other one, though I will admit that matching some colors to the other one was a little tricky haha. The question is, was this skull close to the wolf skull? Or is this phenomenon happening across great distances of land? Maybe we’ll have to wait and see…

If you don’t know what I mean by the previous wolf skull, feel free to check out the companion piece linked below!! I hope y’all have a great day/night!! ^^

Bloomed Decay #1

[ID: Digital Illustration of a floating jawless deer skull with short horns, covered in various plants and fungi. It faces 3/4 right, and has cool shadows in the crevices of the skull and against the light source. Moss with blooms grows over the brow, hanging off the right eye socket, along with covering the end of the nose, the connecting bone for the jaw, and hanging on the ends of either horn, the closest horn showing the rooted dirt on the opposite side of the moss. Ferns sit in front of and behind the nose, and two, red dandelion-like flowers grow behind the skull. It is unseen, but it is through the left eye socket. Ivy vines crawl out from the right eye, part of the forward nasal cavity, and around both antlers. Disc-like fungi cling to the brain case of the skull, and smaller mushrooms with long stems grow in clumps on the top of the cranium, and on either horn. A drop shadow sits below the floating skull, and soft, glowing light orbs float around it. The deer skull sits on a textured blue background with a white halo sitting behind it.

Image 2: Crop of the deer skull that focuses on the antlers and the plants and fungi. The crop ends at the base of the antlers, cutting off the connection point to the skull. The left quarter of the halo can be seen, along with some of the floating lights.

Image 3: Crop of the skull showcasing the eye socket and the front of the nasal cavity. It’s cropped at the base of the horns, the further one being slightly more visible, at the beginning of the end of the nose, at the top of the red dandelions, and above the molars, which aren’t visible here. The right Half of the halo is seen, cropped slightly at the far end, and no floating lights are visible.

Image 4: Crop showcasing the end of the nose and molars on the skull. It’s cropped before the right eye socket, and halfway up the ferns on the far side. The bottom right half of the halo is visible, and one floating light is seen above the nose. /end ID]

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! #8: “Hamburger” | April 7, 2007 - 11:45PM | S01E08

A serious contender for favorite Awesome Show episode ever, a near-flawless show that is actually weirdly cohesive; almost “one thing”; like Ice Haven by Daniel Clowes or something like that.

The plot of this episode is basically that Tim & Eric haven’t turned the episode of the show in yet, and we’re watching a live feed of them trying to rush the episode to Adult Swim. This begins with a fake bumper. Not since Sealab 2021 have we been treated to the fake bumper shtick. I think. I don’t know how to check this. Sorry. The “live feed” is very obviously not actually live, because we see obvious edits and even a little bit of reversed footage of Neil Hamburger being disgusting.

Neil Hamburger! I love Neil Hamburger so much. I first got into Neil Hamburger… I forget how. I think one of the VERY VERY VERY few cool people in Redding, CA told me about him. I have two of his early albums, and a couple of DVDs of his. I have that first one where he’s not doing the voice. I got to see him live circa 2005 in San Francisco. He told a joke where he exhaustively described Ronald McDonald coming home and murdering his entire family, including his wife, his son, and his dog. Q. Why did Ronald McDonald murder his family [told in lengthy beat-by-beat detail]? A. Because he found some of the Colonel’s secret herbs and spices in his wife’s panties. A pathetic punchline, but the entire room was howling at the set-up for what felt like forever. Maybe the best comedy show I’ve ever been to?

Tim & Eric call a cab, and it’s Neil Hamburger, who is announced with an extended title card during the opening. They must rush to Adult Swim headquarters to deliver their tape. But Neil is surly and uses bad manners on them. There are lots of wonderful moments between them, like when Neil calls them rapists unprompted. When they protest to being called rapists he shoots back “then don’t rape.” I literally think about this maybe once a day in traffic. If I get mad at a fellow driver and I’m feeling jocular, I’ll shout “you rapist!” in a Neil Hamburger voice. But thaaaat’s my life.

There are typical Awesome Show skits and bits, but nearly all of them fold back into the ending or set something up that happens later. Example: a promo for the Uncle Muscles Grand Championships is very funny on it’s own (Channel 5 logo in flames with the subtitle “on Five’r” is so hilarious), and it also sets up the ending of the episode.

Tim and Eric wind up caught in a traffic jam, caused by a car crash. Two men argue with each other over who caused the accident, and decide to settle it by having their little pocket monsters fight each other; one has a Tim and one has an Eric, both in red jumpsuits. They have a dance off and Tim is declared the winner (the footage of them dancing in these red jumpsuits is repurposed for the opening of Awesome show). Eric’s male owner punishes Eric by squashing him to death with his foot. Tim is allowed to climb up into his owner’s breast pocket and do an insane dance while making disgusting noises.

Then we cut to Michael Q. Schmidt and his companion (an actor that I don’t think ever recurred on the show, even though he has a great look and voice). Michael Q. is looking through his yoo-hoo stick (or “telescope” to those of you who aren’t stateside) at Tim’s dance. We soon learn through dialogue Michael Q. is dancing in the Uncle Muscles Grand Championships, and may be underprepared. Michael Q. teases that he’s got an idea, heavily implied that he’s going to use Tim’s dance. This bit of set-up completely eluded me in the first few viewings of this episode. I remember exclaiming this revelation to my friend who was watching it with me, as he often did. He too never realized this, and we had ourselves a little mitzvah over it.

Finally Tim & Eric Make it to Adult Swim headquarters (with a very fun miniature or computer-generated building or some combination of) and toss the tape inside. As it slowly makes its way into the tape machine, they lament that they forgot to rewind it. So it plays the ending of the show: the tail end of Casey and his brother performing “Chop Suey” (using footage from an old promo they shot). Uncle Muscles (Weird Al) throws to Michael Q. Schmidt, completely nude, performing “Raise My Roof”, clearly inspired by Tim’s little goblin/pocket dance. Cut to Uncle Muscles, Casey, and his Brother, all speechless. CUE CREDITS: which is inexplicably the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme. I remember crying laughing at this when it happened. I’m a casual admirer of Curb and not quite a devotee, so the fact that they were using Curb-style music cues throughout the whole episode sorta eluded me.

Another great thing worth mentioning is that Tim & Eric’s stupid little songs in this are so fun. They love to take little moments to themselves to celebrate minor accomplishments and it’s very charming. A very good idea for a kind of guy to be. When in a hurry to make a flight or other appointment I’ve been known to keep my spirits up by singing the little “we’re gonna make it” song.

There are roughly three bits in the entire show that don’t really have to do with this throughline, and they are:

A quick “Where’s my Chippy” bit, set at a claw machine being operated by a small boy. This is my favorite one of these, I think. Doug Lussenhop plays the boy and he has a Chippy-esque pube-stache. He’s so weird-looking in this. It’s… unforgettable.

A prank phone call where Tim calls a tech support company because a uke fell on his laptop and now he can’t check his sites. There’s some very funny turns of phrase in this, and the cut away from the animated call to actual camera footage of Tim performing the call is so fun. It is, dare I say it? Irresistible. Tim notes on the commentary (recorded shortly after this season was completed, if memory serves) that this is probably the final prank phone call of the series. This is a good one to go out on. These can be funny, and have funny things in them, but making them be prank phone calls is pointless, because it’s almost never really about the reaction.

A very strong, very funny Steve Brule segment where he presents his investigative report about diarrhea. He has a chart showing every day he got the runs, and really says nothing of use about the topic. When Jan and Wayne notice a different color square on one of the days that month, Steve sheepishly admits that it was his birthday. Jan and Wayne rib him for not letting them know it was his birthday and go into a spirited birthday song while steve basks in the love with a dumb little smile. The sketch ends with what’s assumed to be a stock photo that in-universe Channel 5 graphics department scrambled to find: Jan and Wayne holding a birthday cake that has Wayne’s name on it. It’s such a hilarious detail, making this maybe my favorite Awesome Show Brule bit of all time.

I’m almost certain this is my favorite episode of season one. For Goddamn sure.

EPHEMERA CORNER:

Poolside Chats with Neil Hamburger (Interview with Tim & Eric, January 15, 2007)

You remember Tom Green? Ottawa public-access host turned Canadian basic cable host turned MTV host turned filmmaker turned internet television pioneer? His online show was a nightly talk show that broadcast live out of his house, where he’d built a swanky late night set. There we some seriously wonderful and experimental moments on that show, as well as some very memorable trainwrecks. I was really into it for a short period of time, but would check in from time to time after that. Tom would have Neil Hamburger on frequently and eventually gave him his own spin-off show. The first episode, if I remember correctly, was an unmitigated disaster, with Neil breaking character several times.

This episode features Tim & Eric taking calls from racist teens. This is also the first appearance of rascals anywhere, which we’ll see next episode. Great fucking internet television. Needs to be in a museum.

MAIL BAG

Okay, to make up for the fact that by mixing up Tim & Eric episodes I’ve basically weaseled my way into *sorta* taking a night off, I’m gonna just answer every mail I have in my bag. Which may or may not result in a super-sized Mail Bag. I don’t wanna advertise that I’m doing this to the three people who are clearly my friends anonymously sending me stuff to mock me for doing a thing “for readers”, because they might go TOO nuts and make a point to send a lot to punish me.

You wrote Simpsons Night, right? Great blog, sad to see it end so abruptly because you had a fight with Disney+. Anywhoozle, how does your favorite Tim and Eric bit stack up against your favorite Simpsons bit (which I believe from reading the blog you said it was the Robotic Richard Simmons).

Thanks Nick. Anyway: That blog is not quite dead (lol Monty Python so funny... a bit UN-PC THOUGH!!!! AM I RIGHT?????). How dare you. Lotta Christmases have been happening lately so I’ve not had time to luxuriate in my various blogs. I’ll do another Simpsons soon.

I think the sad truth is that The Simpsons’ effects are waning on me, and I tend to see those great, incredible, ingenious jokes as a soothing balm. Tim & Eric are sorta the same way, but I’ve watched these episodes a fraction of the amount of time I’ve watched The Simpsons. But I’ve already begun thinking up more inane “watching the Simpsons” projects. I can’t get enough of those funny families.

I think Tim & Eric taps into a vein of humor that I ultimately prefer, which is stuff that is funny for reasons you can’t fully comprehend at first. You know what I mean? Anyway, my idea is that this time I watch the episodes by production code, but I alphabetize the production codes, so I actually start with season 10

neil hamburger must have freaked some people out in 2007

Okay: see, I already talked about the episode mix-up, otherwise I would have not used this Mail Bag on this post. If I were being truty deceitful, I would have pretended this Mail Bag came in later, and attach it to tomorrow’s post instead. Anyway: I cherish Neil Hamburger and we all should cherish him. Let’s get all his television appearances together in a bittorrent, stat!

Which Jackass parody do you like better: Tim and Eric's Dumbellz or PodcastAboutList's Prankass?

I’m assuming you left out Kenny Rogers’ Jackass because it’s too clear of a winner. Anyway, I know nothing about Prankass and am in fact a very casual fan of those guys. I’ve only heard a couple episodes of that show and watched the Jollibee video a few times. I gotta get with it. Prankass is probably much better.

You couldn't do the jokes Neil Hamburger did today

Yeah you can

What do you think of this: cheese sticks coated in italian breadcrumbs, fried until they are hot and melty on the inside, dunked into your favorite marinara or spaghetti sauce. It's an appetizer. Interested?

The idea of dipping these guys in marinara has never appealed to me. I have a weird thing against mixing tomato and cheese. Something about it seems sinful. I avoid pizza for this reason. Denny’s cheese sticks are perfect, and their chicken fingers used to be perfect, but then they changed them, and they are merely “alright”. I can’t find anything that compares.

Will we ever have another funny comedy duo like Tim and Eric again? Hayes and Sean? Those two guys who fucked off to work for Jimmy Fallon? Jeremy and Rajat? Daniels? Please don't say Daniels I hate that fucking movie.

I remember one time, Jimmy Kimmel had on a duo named like Ant and Dek, and I was like “huh, okay, who are theeeeeese guys” (getting ready to laugh because duos are tried and true) and then they get to talkin’, right, and it turns out they were just like normal-ass British television presenters that are hugely famous in England but not here, and Jimmy kept having to remind the audience that they were big stars, and they didn’t say anything funny because they weren’t really comedians at all. (not sure what my point was so...) anyway, all that stuff I said should be illegal.

Sims Flashback Challenge

Rules: “There isn’t any rules, just snap a photo of two sims, one recent and one of the oldest you can find and post it! Tag it #simsflashbackchallenge and @lovelysimies so I can see your progress!”

Tagged by @myralovesmercy thanks :)

I don’t save my photos after posting them and although I was able to find my previous simblr (circa 2016) on the way back machine none of the pictures were working. I did remember one other sims project I posted and was surprised to see that googling its name turned up a result, seems somebody reposted 2 chapters of it since I’m pretty sure I had wiped my account on the site I used and the one I found this on isn’t familiar to me.

Anyways the date on that site says this was posted August 04, 2015. I apologize for the terrible quality I cropped it off a slideshow. I was going through a Hetalia phase and decided to take some sims and pair them off until I got to one sim who had all the original sims as an ancestor as a type of weird reverse legacy situation. I think that’s Taiwan holding the smart bottle, her daughter Miku giving a thumbs up and Miku’s daughter Lara. I didn’t actually remember any of that it was on the slideshow.

And here’s a photo of Frances J. Worthington III from my most recent Uberhood play session 2 days ago on March 09, 2021.

I’m tagging @phoebe-twiddle, @frottana-sims​, @mikexx2​ but don’t feel obligated if you don’t want to or if you already did it and I missed it.

Reposted from @bombazodanceco Today March 22nd 2021, we remember El Dia de la Abolicion de la Esclavitud in Puerto Rico!!! While the abolition of slavery in the US was ratified on December 6th, 1865....in Puerto Rico it was not until March 22nd ,1873!!!! That our ancestors were given their freedom!!!! "The abolition of slavery was one of the greatest rights requested by the revolutionaries in 1868. Betances from 1858 began a strong call but it was not until March 22, 1873 that it was achieved. In 1874 a group of citizens in Ponce built a small monument in memory of this historical moment, and in 1880, the first park in the Caribbean was created commemorating the abolition of slavery. Since then, the park has been located on Avenida Hostos, between Calle Salud and Marina in Ponce, in front of the Aurora Lodge."-islacaribe.

Sarah Jessica Parker Just “Unearthed” A Memorable Pair Of SATC Manolo Blahniks

Despite the fact that her on-screen persona begged Aidan (John Corbett) to hide the damage his dog did to her beloved Manolo Blahnik shoes, Sex and the City‘s Sarah Jessica Parker (who played Carrie on the show) held onto the mangled sandals for a long time — 23 years to be exact. On Monday, Parker, who’s in the process of filming the show’s reboot for HBO Max, posted a photo of the sandals that were chewed to bits by Pete in Season 4 Episode 13, to her Instagram. “Unearthed,” she captioned the photo, tagging @justlikethatmax, the reboot’s Instagram page. 

The turquoise sandals, which have a brown heel and straps and white buttons, got destroyed when Aidan’s Brittany spaniel dragged them into Carrie’s bathroom and began gnawing on them. “That dog owes me $380,” Carrie yelled after the heels were finally torn from the jaws of Pete. “You can’t buy [them], they’re circa 1996!” (That’s roughly $645 in 2021 money.)

A post shared by SJP (@sarahjessicaparker)

“Donate them to the Smithsonian,” wrote @everyoutfitonsatc, a popular Instagram account dedicated to looks from the show, in response to SJP’s post. (The account went on to repost Parker’s photo, captioning it: “Now THIS is why you don’t get back together with Aidan!”) “Pete! circa! Rogaine! speedstick! CARRIE’S OUTFIT AND HAIR!!!!!! ICONIC,” commented New York Post deputy fashion editor Anahita Moussavian.

Parker joined in on the fun, adding comments of her own. “You guys are sooooooo good!” she wrote, followed by, “PS they have been in archive all these past years.” And: “I just cannot get over how much everyone knows and recalls… It astounds and touches me.” 

Of course, how could we forget such an important scene? It was, after all, the beginning of the end of Carrie and Aidan, who called off their engagement just three episodes later. Let Aidan’s mistake be a lesson for all: Don’t mess with a girl’s shoes.

2021... and I’m back on Tumblr. It’s been so long that my phone autocorrected Tumblr to tumble.

This used to be one of my favorite apps circa 2008 maybe. Before Instagram had made its appearance, Tumblr was the place to be at.

A majority of my posts were “reposts”, posts of someone else’s posts, pictures, songs, videos, to depict my thoughts and feelings. Sometimes I like to revisit them to reminisce being young and naive. They bring back memories that I’ve forgotten — some I wanted to forget at one time, and some I’m happy to remember.

I’ve since then abandoned Tumblr and Facebook and my focus has primarily been on Instagram as a form of expression. But lately, I’ve even strayed away from that. I tried to dabble on Wordpress — the website/app for blogging. I found it was too complex for me to get my mind around. I just wanted it to look pretty and be able to jot down my thoughts, and I couldn’t get past the first step. Maybe it was the millennial in me, but I haven’t went back to it since. And here I am... back on Tumblr, good ole tumblr.

A part of me is scared that someone that knows me will find this virtual diary. Maybe I secretly want it found? I do have a hard time opening up in general. Most everyone that knows me will think of me as bubbly and cheerful, which is true. But if only they knew the thoughts that go deep down inside into my complex and wild emotions, revealing the layers i so hate to reveal.

Well. Here goes the first post!

🍄Overgrowth🍄

Here’s my third artober gold ink piece!! I decided to change up the layout and angles for this little deer, who seems to have a slight problem with his horns. Or maybe it’s a bonus, depending on how you look at it. I’ve been getting used to liquid ink, it’s been nice doing some complete pieces traditionally again, and also working with a new-ish medium has been a lot of fun. Hope y’all have a great day/night!

[ID: Ink illustration of a stag with mushrooms and moss on its horns, a gold circle behind his head. It is in a leather sketchbook that sits on a bed of moss with fallen leaves scattered around it. The deer is a bust that faces forward, the page taller than wide. It’s fuzzy, and has vacant, light eyes. Everything is in black and white except the gold circle and the red growth on the horns. There are four clumps of small mushrooms with long stems, and two long clumps of moss hanging from either antler. The antlers themselves have the same number of branches, but are slightly asymmetrical. The neck of the deer fades out onto the page. The deer and gold circle are on a white background.

Image 2: Illustration of the stag with the red plants and fungi on his horns with the sketchbook and mossy ground cropped out. The crop goes to each end of the page.

Image 3: Close up on the left side of the stag’s head, keeping the antlers in the crop. It makes the details on the fur, horns, and fungi clearer. The crop ends midway on the face, and at the beginning of the other eye. Some of the white background is visible, especially at the top, but most of the page is the gold circle. The antler is cropped at the tip.

Image 4: Close up on the right side of the stag’s head and antler, showing details in the fur, antlers, moss, and mushrooms. The crop ends midway on the stag’s face, both horizontally and vertically. Most of the background is gold, but some white can be seen on the left of the page, and the top.

Image 5: Close up of the bottom of the stag’s head and neck, showing details in the nose and fur. The crop starts at the top of the brow, and ends before the neck fades out. The background is 2/3 gold at the top, and white on either side of the neck. /end ID]

🦇🎃WITCH’S FAMILIAR🎃🦇

Happy Halloween!! On this spooky night, I bring you a witch’s familiar, a Calico cat with magic crackling around him! Be careful around those stars, they’re better viewed from a distance; who knows what wild magic that cat has concocted! I worked a bit more with water on this one, and it was fun seeing they way the ink took to the page. I hope y’all have a happy Halloween, creep it real!! :D

[ID: Black and white Ink illustration of a calico cat bust with red four pointed stars and an iridescent gold circle behind them. It’s in a leather bound sketchbook that is sitting on mossy ground, leaves surrounding it in the corners. The cat has a white stripe going down its nose to the top of its neck, with lighter grey spots on its eyes, part of its cheek, and lower jaw. Its neck fades out into a cloud on the bottom of the page. Five red, four pointed stars surround the cat, four framing its head in a diagonal rhombus, and one in the top left corner. The gold circle sits behind its head and shoulders, and all sit on a white background.

Image 2: Crop of the cat, the mossy ground, sketchbook edges, and leaves no longer visible. The crop goes to each end of the page.

Image 3: Crop showing the details on the upper half of the cat. The crop on either side cuts part of its ears, and the bottom crop ends just after the nose. The top crop cuts off the tip of one of the stars, the only one visible. The background only shows the gold of the background.

Image 4: Crop showing the details of the bottom half of the cat. The top crop e]starts halfway up the bridge of the nose, and the bottom crops part of the fade on the neck. The left side shows some of the gold, but the right side is completely obscured. Parts of the gold and white background can be seen. /end ID]

ROARING RUST

A familiar face! I drew this little dragon for a test post on my Instagram last last month, but I’ve refreshed it a bit! originally the left side was cropped, and there was some writing to the right, but I added the left side past the old crop, deleted the type, and changed the background around! It was a little tricky making sure the lines and shading lined up with the old parts, but I think it worked out! Throughout my life of learning art and drawing, digital art had never been my strong suit, but I’m really proud of the growth I’ve had in this medium ^^ (I posted this super late, my bad y’all)

[ID: Digital Illustration of a dragon bust on a green and off white background. The dragon faces 3/4 right, its mouth open and six off white lines radiating out from its mouth and snout, alluding to sound. The dragon is a rust red with a darker snout, cow-like ears, and a grey mane. It also has spiky scales on its cheek, mammal-like molars, and two small horns going straight back with small spikes coming up from the beginning and top of them. The scales by the base of the horns are also dark like the snout. The dragon glances up with yellow eyes, only one of them visible. It also has yellow highlights over its body. The dragon sits on a textured off-white background with that fades into a textured green background, left to right. The green background is lined at the edges with the off-white. Around the shape of the dragon is a white outline that is fuzzy at the edges. In the bottom left corner, a watermark logo reads “LEAVES AND INKS”, in stacked text.

Image 2: Crop showcasing the dragon’s face and details in the skin. The crop reaches to the edges of the snout, and only the beginnings of the bottom three lines extending in front of it are in frame. It crops at the beginnings of the horns on both the top and left side. On the bottom, only the base of the neck is in frame. The only visible background on the right hand side is green.

Image 3: Crop showing the ear and right, frontmost horn. The left horn is out of frame, and the tips of the mane at the top and left sides are out of frame. The furthest most point of the eye is visible and the tips of the spiky scales on the cheek are slightly out of frame. The only visible background is on the left hand side, and is off white.

Image 4: Crop showcasing the edge of the mane and fur details. On the right, the highlights are just beginning, while on the left, deep shadows are in the crevices of the fur. The bottom left edge is in frame, and the fade between the off-white and green background is at the bottom of the frame./end ID]
