Watching F1 is pretty sick in the first place. I mean, those cars just screw. I have to remind myself sometimes that the footage is in real time, and not sped up somehow. the way they take corners is just insane.
BUT… what F1 is to automotive racing, Schumacher is to F1. The guy is absolutely insane. Champion for 6 straight years among other records. holds the record for most wins at several tracks. Often regarded as “the best ever” in F1 racing by many authorities. watchin the man in action, there’s no denying it. He’s got to be a robot.
This last race, he’s just barely holding onto the ass end of the guy leading the race. some laps in, he gets in front of the guy. he starts kicking ass, laying down screaming lap times. it looks like he’ll need to take one more pit stop than everyone else. “very well.. I will just have to be more perfect.” he starts laying down even faster times, and wins the race by a huge margin. AFTER taking one more pitstop than everyone else. 4 full pit stops. everyone else only took 3.
They seriously need to invent a new form of car racing, where only Schumacher and clones of Schumacher can compete. Either that, or make him race in a 1988 escort.
just for reference, he has 1000-something points. His closest rival has ~400. I’m telling you, the man is sick.

Outstanding.
It’s so nice to have my computer up and running again. At this apartment, I had to work pff the one “resident” computer here. There’s only 1 IP on the account, and I couldn’t get my firewall working. I finally got it running and doing DHCP, so now I have a “proper” box to work with. It’s amazing how foreign someone else’s computer can feel.
I’m looking at an apartment on Monday. One of the guys I know from the club (Dano) has been looking for a place for a while, but hasn’t had any prospective roommates. I’m glad to be rooming with someone I know rather than some random roommates.com person. The place is really nice too. ~1100sqft to split, 2 bed, 2 bath, in-room washer, central air, etc. There’s also a clubhouse with a 24/7 fitness center, a pool, and even a movie theatre you can reserve time in. you can hook up a computer and whatnot. see also: rally vids. It’s right at the intersection of 290 and 495. like literally right there. Locals will know this as a very good location for getting anywhere in the meaningful sections of MA (anything east of Worcester =P).
getting pretty psyched. this could be a kickass place.
LJ stats thingy. because everyone else is doing it. That and I have no material of value to post. Thank all your lucky stars there are car clubs to contain my various automotive ramblings :p
anyways…

Unusually productive weekend… Installed stainless brake lines in the SVX, changed the oil over to mobil 1, and prepped the car to install the ECU chip & shift kit. Changed the brake pads and rotors on my brother’s Acura to boot. didn’t do any pushups, but did a larger than normal amount of physical activity. and htat always feels nice.
once I get this chip and shift kit installed, t3h svx will be fast4R

…best sign I’ve ever gotten to clean my room…
So I got “Fluffy the One Lipped Vagina” (have no idea where the title came from) in the DVD player and am going at it. Before I finnish I realize that I had not arranged something to aim at/in to keep things clean…but there’s an old bag across the room, in which I had brought home two bottles of V8 splash for vodka mixing (promptly tossing on the floor upon emptying).
So I wait til the last second before I try to lunge across the room to make it to the bag so as not to make a mess. Upon standing I step on an empty V8 splash bottle and my left leg promptly leaves the area. I’m sent, twisted and obviously hurt, back into the wall where I bang my head on a piece of thread bar I had hanging up for some unknown reason.
My head is aching…my left ankle is quite twisted and is hurting a great deal…it’s amazing that during the mishap I mahaged to hang onto “myself” and not lose concentration on the task at hand…set back a bit but still going. I push off the wall and start hobbling towards the empty paper bag once again…and, once again, I manage to step on the SAME V8 Splash bottle, only this time my leg zips back behind me and I land nose first on the other V8 Splash bottle which sent a nice array of blood and snot in various directions. I then jizzed all over myself.
I think god wants me to stop masturbating…

I finally got myself a Subaru SVX. I posted about 2 years ago about this neat-o car I was looking into getting to replace the Impreza. I didn’t get one then, and I’ve come very close to getting one 2 times since. it’s always been just out of my grasp. For those who don’t know, they’re a very rare breed of Subaru, only around 15,000 or so made it to the states. It’s a “performance/luxury” coupe that was very poorly timed as far as the car market goes, and was too expensive for the Subaru badge it was sold under. It’s a fairly big 2-door car with all-wheel-drive and a 4-cam 6-cylinder “boxer” engine pushing about 230 hp and 225 lbft of torque. I’ve never driven a car that’s felt as nice as this.
They’re hard to come by, and very hard to find in good condition. This one was owned by n ASE certified “master technician” whatever that means. He went to town on this car. everything is new. the struts/springs/tophats, brake rotors/calipers/pads, transmission (10k miles), tie rods, etc. tons of interior bits have been replaced. The head unit is a $500 pioneer dealie that doesn’t have all the “stereo bling” that you have to deal with in most newer car stereos. The leather isn’t worn like I’m used to seeing. the car “feels new”. It definitely feels newer than a ’94. And it REALLY feels nicer than $6000 should have bought me =D.
So I’m back at camp Subaru. Anyone wanna buy a CRX =P

OUTNUMBERED British soldiers killed 35 Iraqi attackers in the Army’s first bayonet charge since the Falklands War 22 years ago. The fearless Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders stormed rebel positions after being ambushed and pinned down. Despite being outnumbered five to one, they suffered only three minor wounds in the hand-to-hand fighting near the city of Amara. The battle erupted after Land Rovers carrying 20 Argylls came under attack on a highway. After radioing for back-up, they fixed bayonets and charged at 100 rebels using tactics learned in drills.
If that doesn’t downright define badass…..
