I�m sitting in Central Park on one of those green benches around the loop of the Great Lawn. I�ve become one of those people who take their laptops out to Central Park, which, I guess I is better than one of those people who take their laptops out to Starbucks, but in all honesty, I once was one of those people as well. I�m guessing that it�s about 80 degrees outside, and there is barely a cloud in the sky � by far the nicest day of the year so far. Actually, it�s so sunny that I can�t even see the computer screen at all, so I�m guessing there will be plenty of typos in here, but I have spell check on this computer � pretty fancy, huh?

Looks like I finally found an apartment the other day. A little 2 bedroom on Amsterdam and 83rd. Its pretty small, but brand new inside, and the price, 1650 per month for a 2 bedroom, is pretty damn good in this city. My roommate Mike is finishing up the paperwork as I write this. People are always doing paperwork. I don�t think I�ve ever done paperwork, nor do I ever want to do paperwork. At my last office job I spent most of the days shifting papers around the desk to look busy, but somehow I don�t think that�s what people mean when they talk about paperwork. Either way, paperwork just isn�t for me.

ComedyWorks is still going great. As of this week we have added a 2nd show to Wednesdays as well, which now brings us up to 10 shows per week. I�m getting on stage and doing more time than I ever have, and am feeling quite hilarious in the process. I�m working on this new bit about how when I am with my extended family I like to look around and see who did what psychological damage to who, and how that affects everyone else in the family. As I�ve done that more and more I�ve been able to take it up generation after generation and as I see it, everyone is messed up because 2 monkeys weren�t sharing a banana way back when.

Our basketball team won again last night and are now on a season long 4 game winning streak. With 2 games to play we�re looking pretty good for the playoffs barring major disaster. Blake turned his ankle yesterday, though some team insiders claim played it up just for the camera.

I bought new sneakers a couple days ago in my first purchase of anything besides shoes in probably about a year. I went with Blue Pumas after a very intense five minutes of deliberating at the local Athlete�s Foot.

My second purchase was a 6 dollar shirt that I bought at the Salvation Army while with Bob Jergins, Bob has mastered the art of shopping at the Salvation Army and was thrilled to bring me into his little world. I do like the shirt, I just hope I don�t start smelling like old man stink now.

I wonder how long a laptop can be out in the sun before it melts.
