Reality Must.

I haven't updated in a couple of weeks now, but that's okay as you've probably enjoyed your break from the inanity.

Things I've done recently:

Saw Cars. Pixar once again demonstrates why Steve Jobs was given a whole shitload of money by Disney. Which he then used to buy a large chunk of...Disney! He's the kind of weirdly obsessive personality that is actually probably exactly what Disney needs to once again be the company Walt founded. In any event, I liked this movie. A lot. A whole lot. When can I give someone money for the DVD, damnit? Hurry up! I want it noooooooooow. Okay, I'll quit impersonating Veruca Salt now.

Then I went and grilled up some steaks that were fucking amazing. Fear me, for I am Grill Man!

I turned 36 on Sunday. I'm pretty sure this means I'm officially dead or something.

In any event, my lovely wife, robeli, picked up Koyaanisqatsi for me, which is a sort of precursor to Baraka. Ron Fricke, who was the man behind Baraka was the cinematographer on Koyaanisqatsi. I see on IMDB that he's got a sequel to Baraka in production right now (Samsara, which is another sufi word if I had to guess). This is a good thing. Koyaanisqatsi doesn't work as well for me as Baraka, but it's still good and I'm glad she picked it up. This is the first of three documentaries, and I'll have to check the other two out at some point as well.

Evan also picked something up for me. One of the greatest movies ever, UHF. Weird Al is awesome. Thanks kiddo!

I had asked for a Ferrari F1 race car, but apparently you have to be a Ferrari sponsored race team or something to get one, so she got me an Enzo instead. How cool is that? I'll have to post pics at some point.

We went and watched the rockets red (and blue, and green, and purple, and yellow...) glare for the Fourth at Lake Fairfax to finish off the long weekend.

Reality Must.

If anyone ever offers...

To give you a German sports car, just say yes.

We went for a drive through Great Falls over the weekend, just because the weather was nice. There were all sorts of caution signs all over the place, for what reason I can't tell, but lulled in to a false sense that they were planted at random, I found one that wasn't. They meant 15mph. I was doing 40 going in to that curve, although calling it a curve is being nice. It was a hundred twenty degree hairpin on a two lane road with no shoulder.

The tires never even made a threatening noise. I was a bit worried, since there was no room to maneuver if traction broke, but I had downshifted and the engine was slowing us down nicely, and it never became an issue.

I highly recommend a 49:51 front to rear weight distribution, low center of gravity, wide wheelbase, and 18"x[8F/8.5R]" wheels with Seriously Low Profile Tires. Couple this with plenty of engine, more brake than a car twice as heavy would need, a really well done suspension, and call it a recipe for fun. The retractible roof is optional, but a damn nice feature.
