Adventures in used American Vehicles
(11:21:26 PM) Dexter: mmm
(11:21:31 PM) Dexter: I smell like burnt car
(11:21:47 PM) Aaron: that's kind of what happens when your car catches on fire
(11:21:50 PM) Dexter: yeah
(11:21:58 PM) Dexter: I hear that this smell is hard to get out
'Nuff said.

Nocturnal?
This weekend has had me with the most fucked up sleep schedule ever. Despite that, I feel like I came out better than I went in.
Formal was Saturday night. I had a lot of fun, and was very glad I went, despite the angst that front-loaded the process.
For that and other reasons, I was up until 4 last night, slept two hours before buggy, then went back to bed at 10am and woke up around 4:30pm. Hence the post name. Going to bed tonight may be very difficult...but after suffering through tomorrow, I think I'll be back on track. At least until buggy next week.
Other things...
Saw Fast and Furious with Dexter. There were some entertaining bits, and some very pretty cars. Don't get me wrong, though: the movie was terrible.
Started rereading Neuromancer for my 'hardboiled' English class. Reading it again, with a better critical eye and more patience than my 9th grade self has led me to the conclusion that the novel is indeed brilliant, and deserving of all the praise it got. Damn Gibson needed to learn how to write scene transitions, but if you give it the patience it needs, the story and the twists and the characters are all sublime.

The weekend
So, I went to a rally this weekend. You know, the kind of rally for cars.
It was sick.
Dexter and I competed in his Buick Roadmaster, an ungainly station wagon with terrible brakes and no muffler. Due to an accurate digital speedometer in the center console, we were able to place 5th in our category, which had a field of 14 competitors. Had we not been stuck behind another team with a not-so-accurate speedometer in two out of the four stages, we probably would have even done better.
The roads we took were amazing, twisting through mountains in Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands. This, for the most part, was lost on us, because navigating the huge car down these roads was an exercise in terror and mechanical strain. Trying to keep the speed down to the instructed pace was so tough that Dexter cooked his week-old brake pads down to the wear indicators in one day. Next time I'm doing this, I'm bringing a more well-suited car.
All in all, it was a fun weekend, and we got to see a lot of really cool cars. For more on that, I have photos on Facebook.

Should have saved the onomatopoeia for this week
In summary:
I want to hit something really hard with something really hard. I am very, very, very frustrated right now.
But, on the sane half of my brain:
So, I sent out an email, and am actually going to start a campaign sometime soon. I've done some very interesting planning, and already have four responses from interested people. I'll probably send them out more detailed instructions regarding character creation at the end of the weekend
Speaking of weekend, I'm being Dexter's navigator for a road rally this weekend, going from Uniontown PA back to Pittsburgh. It should be a lot of fun, especially if I have some wheel time, as driving is one way I can take out my frustration.
Well, that was ADD all over. I'll try to be coherent next week.

Home
Well, I'm home, and already doing productive things. Today I went to a junkyard with my brother, and we picked up a door for the Celica. Now, it can be repaired, and my brother will have a car. I'm so selfless.
I leave for Chicago on Sunday. Let's see what other productive things can be done in that time.
