Three weeks ago, it was 109 degrees inside my house. Right now I'm huddled under blankets and the roof is leaking winter rain. So much for summer.

It's not all bad, though. Autumn and Winter bring LA's only rain. Unlike the rest of the universe, LA comes alive in October and dies in May. I'm not all that different. Maybe it's the school year routine I haven't quite shaken, but the Fall has always been a good time for me to get things going. Not one to break a streak, I've signed on for yet another improv class at ACME, as well as their sketch writing lab. Both very interesting, and tremendously different. Couldn't be any less alike, in fact. Even my JOUST! posse is split down the middle. Ah, well. We'll always have movie nights and the Mexico party house, kiddos....

So classes are tiring but good, with shows a few months down the line, and while I'm on the self-improvement kick, it's time to get back into physical shape, too. First order of business: reining in the diet. According to our good friends at Apex fitness, makers of the world's bomb-assiest (that means "good") vitamins, I get to eat about 2400 calories and still lose weight. Sometimes, being a guy is great. Actually, being a guy is usually great. We pay for a lot more dates, but in the end, I think we still get the good end of the deal, so I shan't complain. Unless I find a better log, I'll probably use Fitday again, because free is good, and I can always plug in info from Calorie King.
