Mom and Dad are coming!



The problem with me and blogs is the fact that I never feel that my life is interesting enough to put down on the internet. Well it is interesting in some obvious Hollywood ways but I never want to risk my job by putting stories on a public blog.

I'm excited this week though because my parents are coming out to NYC for a long weekend. I haven't seen them for several months so that will be great. Not sure what we will do yet, as weird as that sounds being NYC, but I'm sure we will find something fun to do.

Our new apartment is coming along great. We have filled it with ikea furniture that I'm sure will at least last 2 years.

Recently Laura and I were able to escape the city for a little hiking trip in upstate new york. Since we don't have a car we have recently subscribed to a service call zipcar. It is a type of rental car service but cheap to just run around town. You get up to 180 miles in free gas so we went just far enough away to use the full 180 miles round trip. Mouth, our mini cooper, led us there in 90 minutes and it was a beautiful trip. We went to New Palz which is just on the border of the Catskills. After a short afternoon of hiking and getting lost and coming across old nudist men we ventured home but unfortunately hit the rush hour and it took a whopping 4 1/2 hours to get back. Mouth was a great car though...I often think about how he is doing...I hope I get to drive him again soon.

In other news I got to meet Stephen Colbert recently. I bought his new book 2 weeks ago and the seller at Barnes and Noble told me about him coming last week. Thankfully he was coming on one of my days off so I ventured to Union Square. I got there about 2 hours early and got the last seat in the last row of seats, I kid you not. So with about 2 hundred people in front of me and a massive line of roughly 600 behind me I was able to hear him speak for about 5 minutes from his book and then sign for us. I got one signed for me and one for my best friend Travis for his birthday.


Well that all for now, I will add pictures below. Take care everyone.

I had to keep going back up to the top of your blog to make sure I was on the right page. A new post! I think your life is probably more exciting than you realize. Sounds like you are having a great time, and you got to drive a mini! Who wouldn't be jealous of that?
