Meanwhile, over at the Dizzy Rooster, Wes and Wren were starring in their own documentary, which I like to call Dizzy!, in honor of our favorite equilibrium-impaired cock bar. Anyway, we learned the secret to Wren's reticence: she was camera-shy. Whoa! A groupie afraid of the camera? This was a little weird. The last time any girl feared showing her face in front of the Real World crew was when Landon's pudgy friend threw up all over a boat on Philly. Oh, and there was also that girl who had the one-night-stand with Adam on Paris. Two good excuses for keeping anonymity, I say.

Back at the Austin Film Society, the five roomies who did attend the screening met with the director, Ondi, and flattered her with compliments. And because either she wanted more praise or maybe just wanted to give more visibility to her documentary, Ondi even agreed to come over the next day and check out the group's burgeoning film. Ondi LOVES being on The Real World!

Ondi!

Later, we found Wes, Danny, and Nehemiah lounging on some couches, and guess what? They were talking about Wren. Again. "Wren and I were progressing in our relationship so hardcore," Wes explained, "and then all of a sudden, we just hit this plateau where nothing changed." Yes, I believe that plateau was the moment Wren realized, "Wow, Wes is pretty lame." Oh, poor Wes. The hamster in his brain seems to be running so hard, but the bulb is still flickering. What, pray tell, will he do with this most insignificant of dilemmas?

Well, the next day, Ondi came over and watched the rooomies's rough cut. I couldn't tell if she was impressed or not, but since the only compliment pertained to Nehemiah's t-shirt, I would have to say she was less than enthused. Still, Ondi was a solid gold champ as she offered advice in a non-condescending way, and later, she and Neh even talked shop for a little bit. Why, she even offered him a position at her company. Ondi LOVES Nehemiah! As she left, she advised him, however, to get a sidekick in the editing room, just to keep the energy up. It's never good to be alone with an Avid machine. Alas, despite these words of wisdom, the only sidekick Nehemiah seemed to have was his trusty STA Travel trucker hat. And for some hipsters, that's more than enough.

Since he and his hat had been doing so much work, Nehemiah later sat outside with Wes to shoot the shit. And by "shoot the shit," I mean "talk about Wren some more." Wes babbled on about what it's like to hang out with her, saying, "Every time that I hang out with her, it's a whole lot of fun. It's like an automatic 8." Funny, every time you talk about her, it's like an automatic -3 for the rest of us.

Enter Johanna. "Wes is a fun person to flirt with. We get along great. He's uncomplicated," she told us in an interview. Just about the only complicated thing about Wes is why he hasn't been able to get one halfway decent haircut in all his time in Texas. Anyway, we then headed back to the Dizzy Rooster, and with Wren and Johanna and the whole gang there, we had a feeling something was gonna go down. The incessant MTV promos sort of helped too. Yes, because he wasn't gettin' none from that biatch Wren, Wes hit the dancefloor with Johanna, and uh oh! They began making out! Smell ya later, Wren!

The brief hookup ended quickly, however, when Johanna asked, "Is Wren here?" Kind of a dumb question considering she had just hugged her about five minutes prior. Believe it or not, Wren handled this situation pretty well. She didn't get mad. She didn't storm out. Instead, she simply channeled her jealousy into a flirtatious desire to bed Wes, which, by the way, was his original intention all along. I give Wes a lot of shit, but he sure did play her like a fiddle. Indeed, the two headed off to Wren's palace of desire (her apartment) and boinked. Yay! NOW SHUT UP.

Don't think this episode was over though. There was still plenty of drama to be had. You see, Nehemiah had gotten burned out with the documentary because since he was the only one working on the damn thing, he also had to shoulder the burden of this task. Even though there was work to be done, Neh took a break to refuel. Well, Lacey would not have any of that. Hellll to the NO! She was pissed because she and Rachel had organized all the subclips, and all Nehemiah had to do was put them together. Well, student advisor David dropped by to check in on the progress of the cut, and let's just say he's no Ondi. He was disappointed and warned that he was gonna come by the next day, and there had better be more work done! Okay, Neh, time to buckle down and... go to the bars? Yup, the future Steven Spielberg opted to hit the Austin nightlife instead, and you just know that sent Lacey to the phone, squawking off about the situation to Ryan for three hours.

Out on the town, Wes bragged happily about his latest sexual conquest with Wren, and when it was time for everyone to leave, Nehemiah announced that he would be staying behind and would catch up. But Neh! What would Ondi say?

Apprently, it's Dress-Like-The-Lithuanian-Flag-Day
