The Ramblings of Austgen

This is for the folk that aren’t at Mizzou no mo’….the girl and I went to the rec center this night…and man!!!…it is fancy. The weight room is huge, with new everything…there’s plasma screen everywhere, showing music videos from ZouTV or something…and not your typical, MTV crapola….I walk in to Harvey Danger on one channel, and listened to the end of a dishwalla tune on another…yet another showed DMB soon after…and if you’re lucky, you get one of so many eliptical machines, tredmills, or bikes that has it OWN tv…with a DVD PLAYER!!!! Nucking Futs, I tell ya. Also, there is a seperate weight room that has only a few tv’s, but no music blasting. This is all the second floor of the new south addition (the south wall is where those stairmasters were). There is also a climbing wall intergrated…more just a big piece of fake rock three stories high…and not with those panzy hand holds…this is just a rock, with some divits here and there…if I ever get my arms in shape, I’m there….As for the rest of the place, the old weight area is all aerobics (that whole section is three of them)..and that’s all I looked at…go there to late to gawk. The pool is still being tiled, and is due to be finished by May. I’m not sure it was worth the money, but the wait maybe…and finally, you can get a decent workout in.

Little else is to be said…busy busy busy am I.

My knee is hurting again…and I’ve been told to start wearing my brace while i’m moving around…so, is the brace making my knee hurt, or the time out of the brace. Something for you all to chew on. Two days into rehersal, and have about no clue. I am, as of yet, not in the opening dance extaviganza…which is good, cause most of it is going to cause me great pain. But, on the lighter side…I have 13 lines, most of which are less than seven words…the rest my involve some ad libing and much hamming (swineing, if you will)…so no sweat. And for my one solo…oh, it’s gonna be wicked.

I just remebered that I hate talking to uber-christians online………..I’ve only done it once, and well, she pissed me off, and needed to get shiz-maked.

Roomie Prime showed me the new Mac stuff that came out today….that minimac is out of this world….and I think he’s going to buy one….to use at a TiVo…i think I’m going to counter him by buying a recliner….from goodwill (not much of a good counter…kinda a lob to the net)

So….I said that I would posting more often…….yep, I lied. I wanted to, really I did, but every time I sat in front of my computer, pondering what hint of wisdom or wit that I should pass on to the masses….I went to ESPN or MSNBC, then picked my book back up. Which means…I suck. But it is the New Year (plus 9) and the new leaf shall be turned. As of this moment, I will be more on task in all things….school, the girl, ROOMIE PRIME….all things….

Or…maybe not…but, I shall try…on to the highlights O’December..Christmas was cold…so cold. But it was relaxing, and presents were cool….digged the 2×3 inch digital camera that my sister got me…now I need to get it to work. New Year’s was a gas, and got to see a side of the girl that I have not before….see, she was drinking vino, and having, what I thought, a grand old time…..then, she did an “Irish Car Bomb”, in accordance to her love for all things of the Irish nature…and the ICB and vino mixed in her gullet…and it was on….I can only say that her gullet lost, and there were many deaths. Let this be a lesson to all those who hear these words…wine and guiness/baileys/whisky=BAD MEDICINE

<got to sit in the high and mighty seats at the men’s BB game vs. Iowa St. Man, there was cushions on the seats, and I haven’t been that close to the players since high school………and they look really, really tall….and we won, once they got their heads out there asses and started playing at the college level…You see. If all would just keep their heads from there backsides, the world would be a nice place…we hope.

Newman play practice starts tomorrow…four weeks til I become an actor…save us all…/p>
