It's 11:54am Tuesday nite. I just got back from my mom's birthday dinner and am pretty filled up. As usual. I'm not too sure of what to do now except that I just might go and watch Fight Club again. It's a beautifully crafted movie, and while everyone else jumps onto the bandwagon because they think that it's cool, sometimes I think it's just annoying. I really don't know how many people actually understand and feel the emotions in the movie, as well as the inspiration it gives out as well as the perfection of it all; a testament of all the work that has gone into it; if in doubt, get the 2 disc DVD. But then again, a lot of people found the movie inneccesantly boring or just another violent male-targeted flick. Which is good. The less the fans, the more special it is. Oh, there goes another one of my rants that really has not much of a connection of what I planned to write about. Tomorrow is Wednesday, the day after that Thursday. Then it's the weekend all over again. I really can't wait till someone gets me a Honda 900cc crotch rocket. Hell, I don't even know how to ride a bike, and I'm longing for a superbike. Well, I suppose the dreams of free parking and jam-free transportation is very appealing...just who am I trying to kid?? 900ccs of high revving power between your legs that can get you to 60 in less that it takes to say "how fast?" is more like it. Ah well. I really would rather an F360 spider, but really; the odds of that happening is virtually zero. Even if I did find some mad ass way of getting that much funding in 5 years....the bloody car would be so backdated in history that I would rather have the new space age refridgerator out then that can cook, store and drive around. Er....maybe not. But you get the point. So, for all of you out there with 3 mil in the bank, just go spend it on the spider, you'll thank me in 5 years. And oh yeah, don't forget to drive it. fast. Don't be another one of those too worried about getting a ticket, or keeping the car mint. If you have it, flaunt it; and flaunt it to the redline.

It's 2:41am on a rather cold Monday morning. It wasn't even 2am when I decided to read the newly-found "manufacturer-car-spec-list-history" thingy in GT3. I am truly enlightened. By the fact that all Skyline GT-Rs from the GT-R32 had indeedly used the RB26DETT as opposed to my thought that the R32 was RB20DET followed by the RB25DET in the R33. In essence, I was correct; but the fact that that were many variations to the R32 that harboured both a 2 litre turbo, a 2.5 litre NA engine as well as a couple of other GT spec versions, very much below the GT-R specification model. And did it ever occur to you that the Ci (Coupe) model of the current [BMW] E46 (3-series) has only body shared parts of the side indicators and the door handles with the 4-door sedan of the same range? Apparently, the Ci was designed from the ground up, and the light curves, side panels and body have been reworked in full. AMG theory (my theory on german modification of cars, to their sport versions where if at glances you can't really tell the difference between the sport and base models, to which the sport models only look somehow more aggressive, but you wouldn't know why unless compared side to side.). Oh well, I guess I've probably bored you to reading a lot of technical specifications that have no relation to real life, or whatever it's called these days. Right now Travis is repeating on the comp, and I have a presentation due tomorrow, something I haven't prepared for and do not know what to do. Oh well...
