Limitations of nothingness.....

The Ionia autocross was a blast! One of the funnest yet. The course was wide open and quite fast. It also had a cool elevation change in one part that we had to run both directions on and was a lot of fun to handle. On the return you'd have to turn as you got to the top of a rise and my car would get kinda squirly at that point. The track did have a lot of grit on it and it was old pavement to boot. This adds up to poor grip. Take a fast course, add my aggressive driving, a car making 427 ft lbs at the wheels, mix with dirty, old pavement and the outcome is one hell of a good time. I tried to make some good, clean runs, but as usual when I try I end up screwing up some part of the run, which kills my time. After I gave up wasting runs trying to log a fast run, I let it rip on the last two and had some fun. I nailed it pretty good on the last run, but there's this part going from the straight behind the granstands to a sweeper that drops down a bit and kept missing the drift around that corner. My initiation was clean, but I misjudged the cars slide and the rear end came around on me. Coming up the rise to the turn by the start, I nailed the slide perfectly and laid down a nice drift in front of the crowd. It's at the end of the sixth run on the video (at 5:53.00). Oh, look! Here it is!:


I'm closing in on my fourth week of the current semester(fuck yeah!, I'm a quarter of the way done already!) and everything is going spectacular. The Machine Control class, which I thought was going to be challenging is going smoothly(so far....) as are the other two classes.

I heard my former employer is looking for a driver, because their outside sales guy is going to Afganistan(he's a Marine.), so the manager is going out on the road and the dude I never liked is going to be the manager, aparently. If they had called me back, which means they'd have to pay more than what the driver job pays as well as covering the medical, so I know they won't because of that, I'd be tempted to tell them,

Of course, I can't do that if they were to call me back. I'd have to go, but it's cool since I know they never would. They better not!

Strike Witches Two is down to its last episode and this bums me out like mad crazy. I'm going to miss this show a lot. On a related note, Highschool of the dead is winding down as well. Just so you know, these two are the best of the season, and maybe the whole year. Luckily Witches has been picked up by Funi and is supposed to be released sometime in '11. Because of its popularity, I'm sure HOTD will be licensed soon. For your enjoyment, Saeko Busjima cosplay,

To wrap things up, some random catgirl cuteness,
