Itty-bitty Energizer Bunny from Hell!
So I am not dead. Hooray! Actually, it went far better than I was expecting it to! Also, I was given a really nice letter after the meeting that was supposed to have been mailed but obviously never was. It's been a while since I've received a real letter, and this one was really... heartfelt, I guess.
It was fairly touching, but at the same time, a bit upsetting. A lot of it was apologies for behavior from three years ago, and none of it was even anything I'd held a grudge against. It is a very... strange situation, but not one I can be at all upset about. I suspect at least one person would be upset at me, knowing I was associating with her again, but honestly I'd be hard pressed to care less. It was also a bit disconcerting to discover she seemed to have been under the impression that I may have been angry with her (similar to what I'd been thinking in regards to her).
My brother likes to play Grand Theft Auto. He also likes to mod his games, and in one of them - San Andreas, perhaps - he's started to go in and replace all the old and boring cars he never uses with sports cars and super cars. He's thrown in, among other things, some model of Porsche (he couldn't remember what) and the Lamborghini Gallardo (and perhaps the Murciélago? Maybe he only considered that one). He's also got the Toyota Supra in there. He has also modified those mods.
Mostly the Lambo, though. He wanted faster, so he went in and changed the top speed to 2000 kph with 150 acceleration. He then went to take it to the airport to test it out, but discovered that the car couldn't keep up with the acceleration. So then he altered the traction - only in the wrong direction! So the car barely moved at all.
Because obviously the solution to too much acceleration is not to cut the acceleration but to boost the traction.
He got it right eventually, with maxed out traction... and so of course he then bumped the acceleration up to 300 because obviously what else would you do? He went on about the insane speed and power he had in that car, and I told him he was starting to remind me a bit of Jeremy Clarkson and asked him if he'd considered getting a Ford GT mod, or perhaps a Bugatti Veyron.
Saw Transformers again this evening while Dad went to the new Harry Potter (he was unimpressed). I hadn't noticed before, but when Jazz goes to revert to vehicle mode, it struck me as another G1 throwback, with him diving at the pavement and folding his arms under. Not sure, though, might've been making it up in my head. Also, I am still oddly enamoured with the little whirly-clicky sound Ratchet makes as he transformers. I couldn't tell you why even if my life depended on it.
