The Ramblings of Austgen

Ok, so this may not be funny….more really odd. So, this past weekend was HOMECOMING…and after a great football game and a decent nap, I went downtown to meet some of the med school folk. Jon Haffner, MD, calls me up and directs me to Quinton’s…which was the only about a 20 minutes wait to get it (and Shiloh’s was maddness). Luckly, we moved to Teller’s, where there was not wait and it wasn’t 100 degrees. Having a good time when a group of girls walk in. I would describe these females as “artsy” folk…some by there dress, but more that you wouldn’t expect to see them at quater draw night at Harpo’s. Anyways (the description is bad), after looking in there direction, cause they’re women, one of them, a wee indian type, comes up to me and asks…more threatens “are you stareing at something????” I answer with a meger “no,” cause I have no clue what the hell is going on. Sure, I was sizing them up, but I wasn’t taking measurements or anything. The girls move to a back corner, and after a bit, I think I figured out why I was accused. Among the women is a 40 year old dude that is not doing a good job of hiding the change in apperance. I figure that’s what’s going down, that little miss inquisitor is “protecting” her friend from the evil frat boy looking dude (me). After confering with Morgan, who knows these folk, I was absolved of all wrong doing….Finally, I was innocent…for once. That doesn’t happen to often.

Also, an elderly women, who I believe was the mother of one of the bartenders, collapsed. Some say it was a heart attack, while Dr. Jon says it was a “vaso-vagal” thingy….I say it was “orthostatic hypostensive episode.” What I do know is that EMS was there in about 3 minutes…now that’s good response time. But, I think that I may have to drink more at Teller’s. This type of stuff doesn’t happen to me at other bars (well, I dance with random chicks at the Vu, but that happens to everyone…)

Also, I’m on facebook…..woooooo

So many things to say, so little drive to do it. I think that if I were to just sit at the computer in my room more often, I would write more often. But yesterday was the first time I turned it on in a long time. Now since its on, I’ll write out what’s going down.

Went on “AWAKENINGS” a few weekends ago…I don’t normally go on retreats…ok, ever. but I had a lot of fun on this one. I did meet more people, and become a bit closer to those I did know. And, for a while, I became a bit more pius in my thinking….which lasted about a week. Still there, but not so much as before…

Which is do (due??) to science. Actually going to get a few abstracts done for this meeting, maybe get one done up for something at the med school next month….will really get the department folk of my ass. That and my proposal is starting to come together….I think….but, that’s November.

Otherwise, things have been pretty lame. I need to find someone, or get them back….I don’t know. I’m beginning to hear things about me, that maybe it’s starting to be time for me to move on……….there’s nothing that I hate more then being where I’m not wanted. Only with the research, I’m here for at least another calender year. Maybe I’ll just stop talking….unlikely, but worth a shot.
