So i've decided to chuck it all and pursue my REAL lifelong dream: to play the air guitar PROFESSIONALLY. No more of this amateur, not gonna get paid for a gig crap. I'm goin' Big Time now baby. In order to make this dream a reality i'm prepared to: stay hydrated, take my vitamins, say my prayers, and then get my Ph.D. in air guitar like this chick did (she's my hero). After i study all of the aspects that make up the art/discipline of the air guitar, i should be ready to take on the world. I'm gonna be SO famous!

I'm leaving right now to go to Capitol Park...you know, the one outside the Capitol. It's very nice and pretty and people usually leave me alone there (as opposed to Cesar Chavez, where everyone there is suddenly your best friend if you decide to sit down for a minute).
I usually sit under a tree or on a bench (or both) on the east side of the Capitol, before you get to 13th street.

Kat: Yeah, I got your message. I will see you there. After work, I mean. I probably won't see you at lunch. At which park will you be hanging out, though? Because that sounds like more fun than eating my sandwich in a cubicle (even if it is a giant cubicle that Dan and I made with all the forethought and glee of assembling a fort out of couch cushions) under light that I swear is spceifically designed to make me need Starbucks.
Keri: Bandsaw! Yeah, we can do that. I probably won't be taking any sort of interesting bike ride today, so I'll be home at a normal time.
It's a shame, really, that the muscles of the heart and the cerebral cortex don't regenerate like the other cells in the uhman body. That just sucks, to be honest. I guess we can always "correct" this mistake through some sort of biological editing, or attempt to replace the cells as needed by harvesting the sweet, sweet stem cells of babies (and I mean babies, not embryos. If at all possible, I'd like to take the cells from babies. Preferably by eating them. Hell, forget stem cells). But anyway - doesn't that all seem like a mistake? Almost everything can regenerate, it just stops after a while. I know that biologists say that we have to die, otherwise there would be too much competition with following generations, and they therefore would be deprived the chance to let their genetic uniqueness play a dominant role in the evolution of the species. But speaking as someone is isn't particularly interested in letting the following generation push me aside to rape the planet as they see fit, I'd much rather my brain didn't degenerate bit-by-bit and my heart didn't stop working just because I got old. Where are the fucking Bene Tleilax when you need 'em?

Ryan,
Don't forget you're meeting my bosses and me tonight to go over web site design. Also, I'll be eating lunch in Capitol Park shortly if you want to eat with me while I read Harry Potter.

| Your body is younger than you think | |
| | 10:45 - 8/2/2005 |
This was a really interesting article in the New York Times today, but since you need a password to read it, I'll just post the most interesting paragraphs here:
"Although people may think of their body as a fairly permanent structure, most of it is in a state of constant flux as old cells are discarded and new ones generated in their place. Each kind of tissue has its own turnover time, depending in part on the workload endured by its cells. The cells lining the stomach, as mentioned, last only five days. The red blood cells, bruised and battered after traveling nearly 1,000 miles through the maze of the body's circulatory system, last only 120 days or so on average before being dispatched to their graveyard in the spleen.
The epidermis, or surface layer of the skin, is recycled every two weeks or so. The reason for the quick replacement is that "this is the body's saran wrap, and it can be easily damaged by scratching, solvents, wear and tear," said Elaine Fuchs, an expert on the skin's stem cells at the Rockefeller University.
As for the liver, the detoxifier of all the natural plant poisons and drugs that pass a person's lips, its life on the chemical-warfare front is quite short. An adult human liver probably has a turnover time of 300 to 500 days, said Markus Grompe, an expert on the liver's stem cells at the Oregon Health & Science University.
Other tissues have lifetimes measured in years, not days, but are still far from permanent. Even the bones endure nonstop makeover. The entire human skeleton is thought to be replaced every 10 years or so in adults, as twin construction crews of bone-dissolving and bone-rebuilding cells combine to remodel it.
About the only pieces of the body that last a lifetime, on present evidence, seem to be the neurons of the cerebral cortex, the inner lens cells of the eye and perhaps the muscle cells of the heart. The inner lens cells form in the embryo and then lapse into such inertness for the rest of their owner's lifetime that they dispense altogether with their nucleus and other cellular organelles. "
Cool, eh?

Let there be cockroaches the size of buick skylarks in the land of penury and big hats. And it was texas, and it wasn't good.
So god having infinite time (waiting for Deadwood season 3) tried again. He made a filthy little troll to watch over the blighted land, and that was good.
Until the troll won the presidential election and used gods name in vain. And god was angry, very angry so he wrought unto the world Toby Keith to punish the wicked.
All the while the land of wanton effluvia (thanks ryan), the loathsome, er lone star state begot this tripe...

Best birthday ever! I highly recommend Wench Creek. I know Chateau would love it. About 10 people showed up.
Every day we swam (a lot), drank beer and ate excellent food for 5 days! (thanks Sofia for the banana boat recipe) I brought the Harry Potter book but didn't read much of it because we were too busy. I hope that I will finish it soon.
Our site was next to the water but still in the forest.
On my birthday we stuck bottles of beer into a raft and swam to "Jedi Island" and drank (the swim back was a little rough but defiantly earned us Jedi points)
The water and weather were beyond incredible and I saw 5 shooting stars on my birthday. 
See the water in the background.
Drinking on Jedi Island
Thanks for the cake Susan. Also note I'm wearing my camping outfit.
Oh yea HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!

But I can totally get all these other ones, if you want. Nathan, Kat and I watched "Teenagers from Outer Space" on Saturday, and it was keen. Don't ever watch more than one episode in a row, though, it kinda fucks with your brain.
And Happy Birthday to the Birthday People
Here, for you, is a picture I found on the internet of a birthday cake with Totoro on it:

Did someone say MST3K? Alien from LA, can you hook me up?! Do you also by chance have Manos:Hands of Fate? That would be brilliant.

So this is probably not going to overjoy anyone but myself, but it turns out the weird intern kid at work has (in addition to 100s of gigs of music) about thirty-five full-length MST3K episodes, most of them Joel. I'm super stoked about that. I'm bringing home Alien from LA and Secret Agent Super Dragon. If anyone (mainly Nathan and posibly Kevin) have any requests of ones they liked, let me know.
Sweet.

Folks: For those of you planning to camp this weekend at Wench Creek (ask me if I like this name), Sherrie & co. have snagged a really great private campsite right on the lake, which is Campsite #71.
Let me know who's going!

it sounds like working for the county is similar to working for the state, but i was wondering if you have to deal with this crap too: the constant talk about being old and in pain. i swear that i have to listen to a conversation at least 2 or 3 times a day that goes something like this:
Woman 1: God, my body's aching.
Woman 2: Oh, I know. It's terrible isn't it.
Woman 1: I swear, I can't even walk ten feet without my knees creaking.
Woman 2: Once you get to a certain age...
Woman 1: Well, here I go back to my desk. I hope the sound of my old, dried-up bones don't distract you from your work. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Woman 2: That's good. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Woman 1: That noise isn't bothering you is it, Kevin?
Me: Huh?
Woman 1: The sound of my old, creaking bones isn't bothering you is it?
Me: Oh... (forcing a smile)... no, you're fine.
Woman 1: It's only a matter of time for you, kid! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Woman 2: Pretty soon you'll have old, dried-up bones like us. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Woman 1: Hope that creaking doesn't bother you! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Woman 2: The creaking of our old dried-up bones! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Me: (still barely able to maintain a polite smile)...
Woman 1 and 2: Ha ha ha ha ha!
--God, let me please never hear another conversation like this! You probably wouldn't feel so bad at 50 if you hadn't sat on the couch and ate McDonalds for the last 20 years! Argghhh!
