I was buying a computer desk thingy at Best Buy yesterday, and saw SuSe Linux on sale on an end cap. That’s right, you can pick up Linux at your local best buy. It just doesn’t seem right.

I very rarely post anything terribly personal in here, but occasionally matters of significance need announcement. One of my very best friends, Brian aka lordbrand is getting married. Certainly to me this is among the most paramount in matters of significance. Congrats to you, Bri. Typically there’s a lot of joking amongst guys when one is tying the knot. Lots of “ball and chain” humor. That hardly seems appropriate with you guys, you’re so very good together. I knew this would be coming sooner or later so I can’t say I’m surprised, but that’s a good thing isn’t it? I think 25’s a good age. Plenty of time behind you, and even more ahead.

Congrats and congrats again. Best wishes to both of you.

Moved into the new place. Rocks. Very happy with it. Pics and description to come.

BUT!!!1one

No intarwebnet connection till next tuesday. No, seriously. damn. what to do with myself till then… Tried jacking free wireless, but looks like nobody in our building has a wireless router. oh wells. I’ll have to rough it for a few days.

On the plus side, my roommate and I weasled in an extra parking spot each. This means I can keep the CRX for commuting and racing duty. 36mpg with regular gas is much easier on the wallet than the 20mpg with premium gas that the SVX takes.

that’s my story.

Just got done watching F1 live from France.

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.
