you know, Benni's latest set is giving me a serious case of Momento flashback.

Autocross sunday. Got a new set of tires that are extremely reluctant to break loose, this is a good thing. With any luck they'll carry me to better placement and more fun.

mmmmph.

Artemis called yesterday. She couldn't go to the concert at all. Furthmore, the folks from work who were going to go, and spurred me to go, all canceled as well. Feeling lazy I decided to laze about instead of going to the concert.

mmmmph would be the resigned sigh of frustration I elicited from her last night. mmph would be the resigned sigh of...

It was the best of times.

It was the worst of times.

Artemis is going to the TMBG concert with me on Saturday.

Unfortunately she lives in Towson, I live in Reston, and she decided she wanted to try and bring along a guest of the male persuasion as her means of transportation.



With any luck, he'll be busy. Without it, I might have to...

Clay bar to the rescue!!!!

Like I suspected it was mostly a scuff. Washed up the door and then applied magic clay bar goodness to it. No more scuffs!

Got some sap/tar/bug remover and took off a bunch of wads of sap sitting on the hood too.

I didn't wash up all that thoroughly as I was more interested in taking the contaminants off the...

Someone dinged the door on my car.

Given my prediliction for personifying my vehicles, this makes me quite upset. I'm hoping it will buff out (it wasn't serious). Still I'm really unhappy that someone hurt my baby.

I'm beat.

Today was so oppressively hot; I thought my head was going to explode at points. It was hot and sunny and we were on black pavement with no shade what so ever.

Anyone who was not thoroughly enamored with the idea of tossing their car around at the limits of it's lateral grip would have had a miserable time there. Fortunately I like...

Am I tired...

Today, I woke up, exermacised fairly thoroughly (slacked a bit on doing crunches) finally closed out my college bank account, and then went up to Maryland to go sailing with my uncle Chris.

Chris has a Tartan 27, and I think he feels very much the same about his car as I do about my little S4. We went out sailing to...

Today is yet another strange day, making for two in a row.

Mike Melvill flew into outer space today and experienced 3 minutes of weightlessness. This makes him the first individual to reach outer space without exhausting billions of tax payer dollars. I personally think this is the start of a new era of human history, one where people start to leave this poor beleaguered...

Today was strange.

I was greeted in the morning by Artemis, and she was friendly. And inquisitive. In my nature, I told her I'd spill my guts if she'd agree to see me in person, and got no objections.

Furthermore she agreed to meet with me today. I drove up to her house, met her, and after running a few errands we went down to...
