I'm a 6.7 on the Richter Scale.

I spent the morning at a pedestrian area called the 3rd St. Promenade.

The high population density here allows for a ridiculous level of specialization in the shops. Such as a shop called Kid Robot that sells nothing but PVC "urban toys" that are not for playing, just for looking. It's really stupid...















And I had a really hard time leaving without getting something.

From the promenade I walked down to Santa Monica Beach. This is where they filmed Baywatch. There are pale blue lifeguard towers every few hundred feet.















The weather today was sunny and 21.1 C but the beaches were empty. People rode by on bicycles with gloves and hats and scarves.

I don't understand how anyone could find this weather cold. I sometimes think Angelinos would set the air temperature to match their body temperature if they could.

Venice beach is just south of Santa Monica beach. It has an outdoor gym called muscle beach where the current governor used to work out at daily.















It also has crazy white-toga-guy who for years has been roller-blading around playing his guitar...an electric guitar...he carries his own batteries and a transformer.

You'd think for a guy to go to that much trouble he must be an amazing guitar player. You'd be wrong.

I don't know what's going on here but I think I should talk to the person in charge of container stacking...















Well at least they never have any earth quakes here so I guess it's safe.

Wow, I didn't know enough people read this for it to be censored.

I just wish I could censor my real life. Go back and delete something I said in the past, that's a super-power I could really use...

See the thing is I don't know who's reading my blog. I mean it's been on the net for like three days now, there could be millions, nay billions of people who read it. I have a responsibility to the fans. I'm a role model for a whole new generation.

Like if Jesus had a website.

Ride out the fame for a little while longer, I'm about to auction off a tuft of your hair on Ebay.

It's weird, though. Your hair really doesn't look this curly normally.
