crash happy

Highlights from my part-time gig. High school science students who write about "PRETATOR and prey relationships".
Which got me doodling.

Also from that page, Jill Scott.

Wonder why... certainly wasn't listening to her. Got Gnarls Barkley "Crazy" on loop (youtube'd video).

World's smallest sketchcrawl

SOOOOO Miss Mickey and I could not get our collective sh!t together. Actually, that's not true. I stayed up too late last night, and woke up groggy as crap and therefore we couldn't make it down to the SF sketchcrawl in time (11am).

So I schleped to the local university's Earth Day celebration and saw the world's happiest aikido instructor (grinning as he danced and dropped his partner), vaguely goth bellydancers (say what?) and a local capoeira grupo. Their maestro might be holding some batucada workshops in the future.

Oh, the scanned sketches. Btw, a big girl doing capoeira is pretty awesome.



ETA: This reminds me, I was trolling telefutura, milking my three years of spanish for what it's worth, and caught this cheesy Marc Decascos movie (redundant much?), Only The Strong. Mr. D sporting that 90's mushroom hairstyle that 90% of my brown brothas had (you know the one), shirtless, doing capoeira to the goofy strains of what up to that point was The Mazda song, but turns out the full chorus is "zoom zoom zoom ohh capoeira". Gaaawwwd. That scene! Everyone's so fricking happy-- like beach blanket bingo only with martial arts and no girls. To quote the simpsons, it's horrible... horribly entertaining. I can't fricking see another mazda commericial without thinking of of Mr. Iron Chef America. Decascosssss!

Since this past monday was Tax Day, a little Marvin G.:

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it

Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', This ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no

Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die

Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes

Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands

Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
