Once I become deceased I am thinking of having myself plastinated. Why the hell would I be interested in that? Well, if you haven't figured it out already, I am rather unusual on the outside, the inside, and believe it or not, in psyche as well. I have long thought of ways to preserve myself as the ancients did.. Their mummies either in Egypt (being the most famous) or the south-west or even the Chinese or the folks of the Aleutian islands.. Or even buried in ice as Oetzi was. To be found hundreds or thousands of years later, examined by future medicine.. WHo knows what comments might be made. What stories about my life might be made up. "We can tell by the multiple fractures & this metal implant that this individual was a Great Warrior..." Or whatever they come up with. Surely the body art will have a religious significance, as that seems to be the explanation all "unexplained" things are given.

IN other news, Mom wants to make this place into a book. I'm working (very slowly) on it, but as usual if I make any money from it, OWCP will take it. I'm trying to figure ways around that, as I'm not interested in being stuck at $1,845 a month for the rest of your life. If you need more money, you can work more, or sell something. I cannot work more, and if I sell something & they find out, POOF away those dollars go.

I'm updating the plant pictures as I take more & get time. Go have a look if you wish.

My powerbook has died. Well, it's not technicly dead.. but the screen is. $1,100 to fix it. That sounds like a bran-spankin' new laptoop to me.. 'Cource I don't want to spend more than about $400 on another. Laptops seem to havea rather short life around me.. S'pecially "titanium" colored oneswhich are really made from a very fragile form of glass... I spent almost $4,000 on that thing new, and almost $1,000 a year in repairs. Not worth it any longer. So... I'm busy sniping E-Bay, but I keep getting outbid. Oh well.. Eventually I'll have a new-to-me laptop. Eventually I'll attempt to wake it one more time, hooked to my desk monitor or something in an attempt to get all the data off.. But I fear I may not be successfull. Then I may part it out, or sell the whole thing on E-Bay, I don't know.

I've managed to cross passiflora(s) Caerulea & Lady Margaret, margaret is forming seeds as I type. If the seeds are viable & the seedlings grow & flower (a process that can take up to 2 years) that will be a *new* hybrid & I'll get to name it. I have also been (apparently- fruits are forming) successful in crossing Lavender Lady & Caerulea. This one is already named however.. What I don't remember, but it's written down around here somewhere. Anyway those seeds will (should?) be worth a little more than the average. We'll see.

Other than that, Sweatin' my ass off.. Summers here Suck.

Will it be as long untill I write again? Who knows.

Oh yeah.. Still waiting for OWCP to get off their asses with test authorisations. I'm still twitching, hurting & having that sensory change. Same as I did at X-Mas. Gee, good thing it's not something emergent huh? It's even gotten to the point where I'm now used to it.

Oh yeah.. I found that piece of paper. Passiflora Caerulea X 'Lavender Lady' has been named 'Blue Bouquet'. There aren't very many pictures of it yet, but soon I hope to have several thousand seeds. So we'll see.
