	Alas, poor Yorick, spring has come at late last.  Old murals 
ripped down, and new ones up.  (The one behind Tower Video (and the garden 
shop) got rid of that neat grotesque and replaced with a bland skyline.  I 
wonder if it will change any more?).  Old restaurants renovating, new 
places opening up.  Got a Japanese-style karaoke bar opening up...Can't 
figure out what they're building in the ex-parking lot around the corner. 
 
Karaoke is okeydokey by me.... 
 
	I intended to get some real studying done this week, but I am too 
distracted by thoughts of Kanki, and Bali Hai, and the Melting Pot, oh my! 
Fondue...  Been looking for wedding dresses, but just can't find anything 
in Stuart's size.....I'll wait til I get home. 
 
	Guliassini has gone too far now...banning food vendors from 
certain areas.  Oh yes, there has been another collapse -- ramp to 
boardwalk at Coney Island.  New York is dissolving... no need to plant 
bombs anywhere, this place will fall apart on its own accord. 
 
	Trying to think up businesses for myself.  What would a free lance 
mathematician do?  Maybe I'll run math summer camps.  I have to think on 
this. 
 
	I had a diatribe for today, but I can't possibly remember what it 
was about. Guns? Clothes? Literature? Pronunciation of latin? (I was 
right! I was right!) Maybe about the destruction necessary before new 
creation is possible... in a place like Manhattan.  I'm thinking of taking 
a writing course, so possibly I will become more lucid. 
 
	And then, perhaps I will take over the world.
