http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:42:23 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I made my semesterly run up to campus today and into Brady Commons.  There are times that I miss the walking between classes and such (at Augie, campus wasn't much bigger that walking from Brady to Jesse, so much better there)...not when it's cold.  Then to hell with that.  Granted, ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2008/12/02/odds-and-ends/ Much has occured since we last spoke.  I gotten a house, dog, PhD, and wife, in that order.  And, since my credit seems to have survived this wave of uncertainty and doom, I'm doing much better than that "FreeCreditReport.com" jackass.  So now I toil away in wedded bliss, into the ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2008/11/26/so-anyways/ So, in a odd turn, our hero (me) decided that being just a boyfriend was not all that it was cracked up to be.   He demanded more.  So, I proposed to Kati...and, thank the maker, she said yes.  And, with the house buying done, I have offically become domestic.  ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2007/05/15/and-now-for-something-unexpected/ So, yet again, I've lied...I didn't keep up with my writing.   One thing is that I can never seem to remember how to get the site that allows me to right.  But, I've told ROOMIE PRIME about it, so maybe I can get the old format back.  However, it's ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2007/05/11/long-time-running/ Ok, so I haven't written since the summer....it happens.  Here's what I've been doing since then.  Research, the musical, football, baseball, softball, choir, Warcraft.  Perhaps not all in that order, but something like that.  Now, not knowing HOW to update has also been an issue, as ROOMIE PRIME kepts changing ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2007/02/07/wasting-time/ OK, so here’s something I haven’t complained about (no, seriously).  So, this past weekend, I headed up to Chi-town to pick up Kati and see the kin.  Well, tooth started hurting.  Ya see, I only have the two “wisdom” teeth on the top.  The one on the right has been ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2006/08/03/ouchagain/ Final entry...made it home alive...but oh so tired. First, the good stuff. Sunday went to Mass at the Cathedral down town. Real pretty place...paintings of various Saints behind the alter, two organs, decent pews. The bishop didn't preside (the rector did), and since it was the ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2006/07/05/pac-nw-field-journal/ Update 2...so the weather here isn't what it's suppose to be. Friday, for instance, the high was 90ish....the normal was 75. Yep...suck. But, Friday checked out Oregon St. University. Nice place...lots of engineering buildings. The campus is pretty, with really old trees everywhere. Dorms ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2006/07/02/pac-nw-field-journal-2/ Update 1...so far, I've survived. Wednesday was spent mostly in the stratosphere. Cramped planes, as usual. Kati's bag that she had in DC managed to stay in Charlotte instead of coming to StL, so started the trip as a bummer. But, once we got to San ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2006/06/30/pac-nw-field-journal-3/ I have freckles....that pretty much it for the title. So, been working on a grant here...and for some reason (which I can't figure), I'm actually looking forward to finding and reading various papers that are needed (or not) for this grant. Does this mean that i'm actually pressing forward with ... http://austgen.poetshome.com/blog/2006/06/26/freckles/
