Life in Austin (Part 1 of ?)
September 16th, 2005 - 2:58 pm
I’m going to say that it is all typed in a stream of consciousness form so I can cleverly hide the fact that I don’t feel like articulating right now.
1 - Job) The job is great, everyone is really cool and relaxed. People seem really active here. There is quite a few people who bike or run to work/on lunch break. There is a shower here so that this is a reasonable proposition. That gets two big thumbs up from me. My officemate, Tom is an avid road and mountain biker.
2 - Apartment) I found one. It’s a pretty sweet loft. I have my own garage. This will work out well if I can ever get some furniture into it.
3 - Capoeira) Went to Capoeira practice last night for the first time. In a word, outstanding. Having a real mestre around sure does rule. My legs are sore, my feet have no skin left on them, and I feel like a million bucks (except when I have to walk, then my feet bring be down to earth some). Practice lasted 3.5 hours and was intense as hell. Met a bunch of cool guys and gals there. I’m looking forward to removing the skin from my feet once again on Tuesday.
4 - Weekend) “Ahhh, It’s time to relax, and you know what that means…” and no its not a glass of wine and your favorite easy chair. Instead, its driving to Houston tonight to meet up with the Hou crew. Tony’s bday is on Saturday night, so party time. Sunday morning I’ll go to visit B and back to Austin Sunday night. This may seem convoluted, but I’m doing it to keep the spirit of Dan and I’s constant roadtrips alive!
Over and out.
capo what?
Remember, music soothes even the savage beast.
To truly keep the spirit of our road trips alive, you know where you must stop for sliders on the way back .. you know, White Castles were only a nickel when I was a kid?

Hey! I said they were only a nickel! Are you listening??
