As an actor Austin tells stories through his actions.
As a writer Austin tells stories through his words.
As a director Austin tells tells stories through his images.
And to be successful, all multifaceted, layered and complex.
Like why did Austin pick a peacock? Because they like peace and harmony? Is he saying during the mating season he makes that very loud high pitched cry like a peacock? That he was chosen by his mate for the size, color, and quality of his outrageous feather?
Is he thinking of Greco-Roman mythology when the goddess Hera /Juno is symbolized by the peacock. "The eyes upon the peacock's tail comes from Argus whose hundred eyes were placed upon the peacock's feathers by the goddess in memory of his role as the guard of Io, a lover of Zeus that Hera had punished. The eyes are said to symbolize the vault of heaven and the "eyes" of the stars." Hmmmmm who's eyes could those be?
Or maybe a Hindu connection, where the peacock is associated with Lakshmi who is a deity representing benevolence, patience, kindness, compassion and good luck.
Or maybe how the peacock is associated with Kwan-yin in Asian spirituality. Kwan-yin (or Quan Yin) is also an emblem of love, compassionate watchfulness, good-will, nurturing, and kind-heartedness.
In Persia, the peacock is seen as a guardian to royalty, and is often seen in engravings upon the thrones of royalty. Hmmmm Persian Royalty .... like a Prince?... a Prince of Persia?
Maybe he just likes NBC's Thursday night comedies, or just proud as a peacock about something or someone(s) else and it's the only way to say it at the moment?
And then later last night Austin put up this tweet and this picture:
I rode all over Austin, Texas today. Make sure yall get on the bike tomorrow for #twowheeltuesday. http://twitpic.com/42fekj
Austin on a bike, so what.
Blow it up and look again. How do you take a picture of yourself from the left side of the bike with your foot still in the clips on the right pedal.
Austin's tall but.... who knew he is more flexible than Gumby to pull off that move of bending basically back and to the left with both hands off the bike, taking a picture, keeping the balance of the bike AND still having his right foot in the pedal. Damn boy what kind of working out are you doing? Some Bikram yoga? Tracy Anderson workouts? Pilates? Prince of Persia workouts? Jake just rubbing off on you?
And for that matter - how is here no shadow of him on the cement?
Tonight on the Crazy Tree:
BrookeDavis(TM) and her supportive wonderJBra as moving full steam ahead to adopt. Three weeks into the marriage the honeymoon's over ... BrookeDavis(TM) needs a baby damnit and she's going to get one. (You know if they did a Raising Arizona thing - it has a chance of being somewhat good- Austin would be awesome as H.I. [who thinks he's thought about a diaper run like that] - but the Crazy Tree won't so don't get your hopes up) And of course it being OTH there will be someone that they suddenly meet who wants to give up their baby and they will have a brand new perfect infant after 3 weeks of being married and before they are 30. Ohhhh yeah that's based on reality for sure. And because it's not AllaboutBrooke, The Crazy Tree girls throw a baby shower for The Real Housewife of Tree Hill, while the guys bond over Jamie tries out for baseball, and Mouth helps Millie get ready for her first day at a new job. (Maybe he will get her one of the nifty lunch boxes like Harrison Ford did for Melanie Griffith in Working Girl)
Here's our Two Wheel Tuesday.

Man, I am sorry but I just cannot take another episode of that show. Last week's sent me over the edge of human tolerance. I'll DVR it just in case but OverTheHill is not worthy of Real Time viewing, in my humble estimation.
I look forward to the day that Austin is off of that show and on to his next project, whatever that may be.
After he gives Jake some relief time. I know Jake isn't working right now but man, the guy still deserves some kind of medal for diaper/Pull-Up/tantrum duty.
Makes a troll wonder, doesn't it, what indeed Jake is doing with his time? Like today? How about yesterday?
Twiddling thumbs, whistling Pop Goes the Weasel, whiling the time away, eh?
All right, back to work. Looks like it's pretty quiet in the neighborhood. Just finished some yogurt with Flax Seed for good measure, some nuts. A miniscule Cascadian Farm Organic Peanut Butter, chocolate chip snack bar.
80 calories. And what do you get for 80 calories? Like two bites, that's what. Oh yeah, I'm all about that.
NOT!!
And my new thing - Celestial Seasonings Tropical Fruit Cold Brew Tea. I have about 4 boxes of various Celestial Seasonings teas in my food cube under my desk. They're not all cold brews - the others are hot brews. Man, are they good.
I follow Taste of Home on Twitter and they're always asking "What's for dinner?" or "What's for lunch?" or "What's for breakfast"? I should answer sometime and let them Jessica Fletcher shake their head at me.
LOL.
Love the two-wheel dolly, Special! Ugh - those things only remind me of one thing. Moving.
Okay, well, back to the grindstone. **sigh**, it's only Tuesday, too. What a drag!
I agree about OTH PG, I've taken to watching it on the internet so I can watch Glee. The only episode I'll watch on TV is the one Austin directs.
Holy crap. They had a big reorganization at work. Laid off a bunch of people by phone over the weekend including my boss, who I am sure never saw it coming. By some miracle I am still here and employed, at least for now. They eliminated a layer of management and my new boss is a gentleman that I cannot stand. We are like oil and water. In fact very few people like or respect him. It's going to be interesting these next couple of weeks. Pretty cold laying people off by phone. I guess that's better than a text message. Some of them were on holiday for the long weekend when they got the call.
Oh gosh, m, how stressful. I'm sorry to hear about all of that - also for your boss.
Business is cold. I've seen some pretty harsh stuff in my day.
Here's celebrating your still having a job though!
Jake on Just Jared. Whew - looking rough, too, lol.

Does Jake take out all the car seats when he valets his SUV? He valets it often.

Hell, he's like those awful parents that leave the kids in the car when they go and gamble at the casino. He just leaves the BT bunch in there while he goes on his merry way. Jake hasn't worked in a while so he's gotta save every penny, so no babysitters for these rugrats!
Looks like Austin gave us another picture for Two Wheel Tuesday.
#twowheeltuesday ride a bike somewhere today. http://twitpic.com/42nuy2 about 7 hours ago via Twitpic
Getting better Mr N, you are on the bike and showing off the Mellow Johnny's bike gear quite well. Are you trying to drive home the Austin TX location? Someone might think you are trying to pull a fast one over on people. ; )
Looks like you had a friend take the picture for you today. Hope you didn't pull something taking that picture yesterday.
Jake looks like a little sleepy this morning in LA. But a good kind of sleepy, with a touch of bedhead. Wonder if there was someone (tall or small) who caused him to have a late night.
LOL!! - Austin has a tan line on his wrist. I've seen tan lines at the ankles but never on a wrist. That looks kinda funny. lol
Other than that, quite the fine figure. Although I would like to tell the guy, Austin you better watch that splinter bikeseat back there. That kind of thing looks like it could disappear in places.

Maybe that's why Jake has TWO Audi Q7s? Ever thought of that?
Not only is his hand pale, but that looks like really quite the yellowed, healing bruise on his hand.
I'm catching grief for my avatar. Somebody doesn't like my little Jimmy's Egg logo.
I suppose it should be changed since I'm no longer in the Big W. Awwwww. Maybe tomorrow! LOL
prairiegirl has turned out to be quite a competent troll. Prophecy girl knows all about that.
Maybe that's why Jake has TWO Audi Q7s? Ever thought of that?
No he doesn't. Where did you get that from? Oh you mean the silver dealer rental he was driving around? When his own SUV was being serviced? But back to his black SUV for a minute...this is the vehicle he takes to the pretend pediatrician in BH according to you lot. And if you have kids or friends with kids you know the carseat(s) never comes out of the car. So...you'd think one of the many valets he leaves his car with wouldn't mind making a few extra bob by taking a photo or three of the carseat(s). And yet. . .
Well the jokes on you. It's well known Jake has the 2 cars.
Been on the phone most of the day commiserating with people. Also the laptop is acting up so it's hard to maneuver.
Sorry, but you would be wrong. Jake has a history of two cars. He own two Camrys and two Prii so buying two Audis would not be out of character. Black and grey are is favorite combo. One for him, one for the Goose.

Um Sk, Sophia was in Texas with Austin over the weekend, I saw fan pics of her at some cafe and there were several tweets of them there. So I wuold assume Sophia or maybe his sister or brother in law took the pic, mystery solved!
They were there to visit his parents and his sister, brother in law and their 3 kids, they had their 3rd child last year.
they had their 3rd child last year.
Since you are apparently such an expert on the Nichols clan and so incrediby well informed, please provide a believable source for when Ashley had her baby last year. And, I don't mean fangirls vaguely talking about the topic. I mean an actual primary source. I'm curious.
Sophia has played this game before about TX. Tweeting and talking and drawing attention to what she is doing and that she with Austin in Austin. Case in point: Last October she posted a picture of her and bike gear standing in front of a bike, and commenting about going for a bike ride on Sunday morning in Austin.
Too Tall Bike
Good luck riding that bike. If you look closely the bike she said wants you to believe she rode is actually Austin's. When you look at the new pictures that Austin tweets of the bike that past few days you can see it is the same bike. Notice how high the handlebar is and the length of the bike?
Standing in front of the bike seat to hide how tall it was, was too obvious. And when most people stand with their bike, they stand behind the bike, not lean against it.
Who's to say that Jake wasn't in TX before we saw him pop back out in LA.
That boy is tired. T-I-R-E-D. And while Sophia might have been there for one day, who's to say she was there the whole time, just because she said so Monday and Tues. She may have headed out to LA. She's got to get out the and do the rounds, pilot season is coming and she wants to get something lined up before OTH wraps, just like last year.
((M)), so sorry to hear you're going to have a bad boss, but glad you survived the cuts. I have never ever heard of people being laid off by telephone, and over the weekend to boot.
It's pretty clear Sophia only stayed a day or two in Texas and left without Austin; on the 21st she tweeted about having been on a plane with some very noisy talkers.
Thanks Destiny. Yeah, by telephone is the first for me too. We got an email Friday AM saying everyone could go home at 3:00 for the long weekend as we were closed Monday. A nice surprise. I realize now it was to clear out the office so the phone calls could begin. They were made to home phones and cellphones. Weird too as those laid off still have to come in to retrieve personal belongings. Not sure I understand the strategy but c'est la vie.
