I must be feeling guilty for not keeping in touch with my friends. When Chris asked me where I've been she got this:
"Finishing writing my book, finishing editing the panhandling documentary, shitting blood, working 40 hours a week, getting ready to host the sammies, putting together a one man show based on the book I'm finishing, squeezing in some time to spend with my sweetie, talking about planning a wedding, thinking about planning a wedding, keeping up my five gazillion blogs, hatching sea monkeys, reading about and experimenting with diets that might help me to not shit blood, skateboarding, limping (after skateboarding), watching The Simpsons, dressing like a mime and cruising around in a limo (for $55 an hour!!!), planning a stunt called Nascar Drive-Thru with my friend Rob for his website; cockeyed.com.
I'm sure I left some thing out. And hey, in the name of multi-tasking, I think this may be my next blog entry.
What are you up to?"
So, what are you up to.

Yet another blog
Coming Soon: No... Wait.
Maybe Coming Soon is too ambitions. Ahem...
Coming Some Day:
All My Kisses
In the style of All My Jobs I will detail every heartbreak, every kiss, every bumbling goofy thing I've done in the name of love.

I've been keeping track of my dreams, with some gaps when they escape my memory before I get to the computer. Check it out at http://kljdreams.blogspot.com/

My Space
Hey, you can be my myspace friend. Click Here. Oh it'll be great. We'll share our most secret secrets, and we'll have sleepovers and play truth or dare and we'll have special nicknames for each other. This is going to be totally awesome.
In other news, today I'm a mime. See www.rockass.net/allmyjobs for details.
My sea monkeys seem to be doing well. I'm airating their tank a couple times a day. I've got at least a dozen of the little boogers probably more.
That's it for now.

Sea Monkey Good News!
The tank now has more little monkey's del mar. I guess the thicker eggs are hatching now. I just saw about five or six little guys swimming around. Cool.
Sea Monkeys Part II
UPDATE: I decided I had enough to say about Sea Monkeys to give them a blog of their own. Please visit www.SeaMonkeyGeek.com.
Click for Sea Monkeys part 1
After rinsing out the tank and filling it with bottled water, I emptied the contents of Packet 1-Water Prufier into the water. I used the the "Aqua leash" to stir. The aqual leash is like a small turkey baster.
I let my pretty pink Sea Monkey tank sit for the required 24 hours, and then some. I waited a week. I was really hoping to get the cool USB microsope back so I could get some images of the itty bitty baby sea monkeys, but it aint happening.
I ran out of patience yesterday and dumped in Packet 2- INSTANT LIFE! ! !
I've done this a million times, and I've kept all manner of aquaria, but it still amazes me everytime. I dump in this packet and within seconds little critters have hatched and are swimming around looking for food. It blows me away. They really tiny. You have to stare for awhile to see them. Once you see one you can find the others. I have a small batch this time. I only see three where as past batches have started with dozens. I'm not off to a good start for trying to make this batch last a whole year.
I sit and watch my three sea monkeys as the swim in gracefull little loops and arcs around their world. It's meditative for me. I moved them into a sun beam for a few minutes. They go crazy in the sunlight, swimming in wild little loops. They seek out light. If you use a flashlight in a dark room you can get them all to crowd into one corner of the tank, and then they'll follow the light across the tank. Man, being a geek is sure fun.
I start feeding them on day five (we're on day two now.) I found this Helpful Hints page at www.seamonkeys.com. I'm following his directions pretty closely.
I found my Sea Monkeys On The Moon set up. I bought it months ago and it disappeared. My girlfriend had decided that since it was a toy it belonged in my Barbie display case. !?!? And then she forgot. It works out alright though. I'll save the on the moon kit until I have the microscope. It's a better shaped tank as the larger surface area on a shallower, wider tank allows for more gas exchange.
I'll keep working on that microscope, while keeping you informed on how the pink tank progresses.
Here's the pink tank on my night stand. You can click to enlarge the picture and check out my reading list. Those books are there to make me look smart. The comic books (what really smart people read) are in the drawer.
Click to enlarge this, and you won't see any sea monkeys. They're too small. But you will see my girlfriends face distorted by the tank. And for fun, see how many SNL cast members you can find in this picture.
Click to enlarge this X-TREME close up, it's totally X-TREME! And if you look really close you'll see RED HOT NAKED SEX PORN GIRLS. You won't really, but a-lot of folks google search for that kinda stuff.
HEY KIDS (and naked sex porn girls) Buy your own sea monkeys, and do the experiment with me!

Well heck, for $55 an hour wouldn't you be?I'm being hired by the same folks who paid me to be Will Ferrell. I've also been The 40 Year Old Virgin for them, which I should write about at some point.
The good thing is the next time someone asks me how much my diginity is worth I'll have an answer. It's worth $55 an hour.

Skating, X-Men III, The End Of The World
Well, here it is, 6-6-06. Nice knowing you all. The fire and brimstone should be an insteresting show. Will we all grab lawn chairs and sit outside our houses watching like on fourth of July, the dogs hiding under the bed? Dogs are smart that way.
Always try to believe it's the end of the world. The biblical prophesy speaks of "coming like a thief in the night." implying an unexpected happening, so if we just expect everything, always watching for the axe to fall, it never will, right? So you see, if not for those crazy "The End Is Near" guys the whole big ball would've been up in flames years ago.
As for the real world, went skating Saturday with my buddy Paul. There's a great park in Natomas though the lack of shade and the presence of many kiddlings who wanted to run across the half pipe while we were skating it were definite draw backs. After we skated we went to see X-Men III. I didn't like the first two so I didn't expect much of this one, but it was quite enjoyable, despite being at Downtown Plaza. I had to tell the kid seated next to me to go take his cell phone call outside! What the hell? Then there was the crying baby whose parents figured they should stay put in the theatre so we could all enjoy their bundle of noise. I love kids, I really do, but I can't stand parents who let their kids drive everyone else crazy.
The last couple of days have been rough. My stomach's acting up in the mornings. My job is pretty understanding of me coming in late. What can they say when you tell 'em, "Sorry I'm late, couldn't stop shitting."? There's just no arguing with that. I missed the reading in SF on Saturday because of my stomach but I felt fine on Sunday so I was really hoping this flare up had passed. Oh well. Speaking of work, I better get to it. Hasta tardes.

Venus Envy
I Am A Geek!
If there was room for doubt before, it is scientific fact now. Its geeky enough to have a billion and one blogs, but now I've done it, I've gone and gotten myself addicted to a web comic.
Being addicted to a comic is one thing, and I've certainly been there; Love and Rockets, Scud!-The Disposable Assasin, Elf Quest, Sandman, Crumb, American Splendor, Ed The Happy Clown, Jeffrey Brown's graphic novels, crap, I didn't realize the list would keep going when I started it. But now, a web comic, that's the pinacle of geekdom. And the culprit is Venus Envy. VE (apparently us geeks like anagrams, I'm done fighting it) is the story of a transgender teen dealing with the soap opera of high school life, with the added trials and tribulations of being a girl with a penis.
My own quest for identity is quite different from that of VE's protagonist Zoe but there are difficultities with finding and being yourself that are universal and I found myself really relating. It's interesting to see the art evolve as the story line progresses. The artist, Erin Lindsey is transgender herself, and she has a great outlook that gives a backstory and some sympathy to most of her characters, even the few villains she's allowed herself.
Erin is not putting up new strips at the moment thanks to scanner problems and a hectic school schedule, but judging from her past down times she should be uploading again any day now. It would be a good time to hit the archives, catch up on the story, and send the artist a buck or two. http://venusenvy.comicgenesis.com/
