i performed this in sunglasses at my 80's new wave birthday party & now my friends have requested repeat performances of it at other parties so I guess it is my go-to!!
I also enjoy doing Bring Me To Life by Evanescence because it's hilarious to try to sing both parts. I have to stay away from Rock Lobster because my friend and I yelled it so loud that the cops showed up at my door :/

I love karaoke and have spent years painstakingly crafting and empirically testing a list of perfect tracks. These are those tracks.
EASY (low-effort crowd pleasers):
Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus
Cool by Gwen Stefani
Hand in my Pocket by Alanis Morissette
Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
INTERMEDIATE (either stylistically harder or easy but requires moxie):
Laid by James
I Touch Myself by the Divinyls
Cherry Bomb by the Runaways
Common People by Pulp
HARD (requires moxie and technical skill):
Hook by Blues Traveller
Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind(If you pull off Semi-Charmed Life in a public karaoke setting, you are potentially about to fuck the most bitches that anyone has ever fucked. Personal note: I can run this track start to finish without so much as GLANCING at the lyrics..)
BONUS: I'm So Tired by Fugazi. In my opinion, this is the funniest karaoke track ever. Play it really straight.

I love doing collages, cuz all you really need are magazine cutouts and glue. There's a very low barrier to entry, skill-wise AND supply-wise, unlike painting. Digital collages are fun too, but I try to have less screentime by doing the paper ones. If I want to re-use pieces instead of gluing them down permanently, sometimes I'll just take a picture of the current arrangement to immortalize it, and then start over on a new composition. That way, I don't have to constantly buy new magazines to get new cutouts. This is one of my favorite ones I've done so far:

This is the only thing that keeps me sane at work. It's so slow right now. If anyone is wondering why I've posted like 9 times today.

i always get stuck choosing which stuff to watch/read/get into next when i look at my huge former watchlists & TBR's. a lot of items are things i put on there years ago and never got around to, so usually by the time i check the list again, my tastes have totally changed. i realized it was hard to get myself excited or motivated about half the stuff i put on there anymore, but i felt indebted to knocking it out anyway just because it was on the list. i'd recommend letting your current feelings/impulses take the wheel, and trust that you'll come back around to any of the other options if they're right for you later on.
