Suppose it's a good time to be writing about the week that just ended.  After all it is Monday and I am finished with everything that I was working on so why not.  And I was going to look for some Race Queen content but Ameblo decided that it needed to take a maintenance break for the rest of the day.  And here I was hoping to have some new Race Queen content since the seventh round of the the Super GT was also ran this last weekend. 

But before we get to the weekend we need to hear what happened during the week after all.  And no surprise here but it was the same old same old in regards to work.  Although I found out that they are planning on once again repainting the hotel which I had to laugh at, as all I see is just more complaining from guests for the next couple weeks yet again.  FYI if you don't remember they already repainted the hotel not more than 2 months ago.  Seriously this new management company is just a giant lame ass company. 


That aside I didn't have anything else to do during the week.  The weekend came and went in a flash as I spent most of the time digging up stuff from the couple of events that took place in Japan over the weekend.  First up was the 7th round of the Super GT race series.  I haven't had time to watch any of it by I did find out that the Subura claimed another win in GT300 and the points challenge for the title leaves my favorite team GoodSmile Racing 3 points behind Team Jim Gainer again going into the last pointed race in two weeks.  On the GT500 side well I don't really care at the moment.

Actually after taking a look it looks like the new Team MOLA is way out in the points lead in GT500 with an additional 14pts over 2nd place Team Nismo.  That is really impressive for a GT500 rookie team.  

The second big thing that went on in Japan was the mega epic Hellaflush X Japan car show that enveloped Fuji Speedway with a massive amount of Japanese tuned cars and at the center of it all were 6 RAUH-Welt Begriff cars which is why I was interested in the show in the first place.  I wrote up an equally epic blog post over on the car blog that you'll need to check out.  Hey they even had Itasha cars show up as well.  You can check that out here -- Hellaflush X Japan

While I was waiting for more Hellaflush content to pop up on the internet I took some time to go outside and do some yard work on the front yard.  Mowed the grass, trimmed up the stupid vine that goes crazy and picked up all the crap from under the tree out front.  I actually filled the garbage can with all the stuff that I picked up. 

Now I'm done with the weekend and just updating some other stuff and calling the week done but of course I also took some time this week to look at some cool videos on the internet to share. 

Nakai-san finished the first UK RWB car this week as well


Looks like another interesting anime coming out later -- Accel World


Internet Memes+Thundercats=busting a gut.


And finally the most epic thing I saw this week.... Melanie Iglesias

The week has come and gone and it hasn't been such a bad week.  I got a three day weekend that was a great way to relax after several weeks of insanity at work.  I didn't do much on my little break but clean the house, sleep and chill out.  Work had an interesting week.  I finally got my car blog stickers and they didn't look half bad.  Checked out a bunch of Race Queen stuff but still haven't gotten around to blogging about any of the new teams or watching the races.

So the very interesting part about work this week is that the temp manager that we've had for the past month up and decided to call it quits and headed back home to Cali and left us without management for a couple days.  We then got another temp manager who didn't have any idea what the hell was going on and didn't do anything but sit in the office and have the front desk manager do a bunch of stuff.  They then interviewed one yes one person for the permanent manager position and hired him.  So yeah it'll be interesting when I got back to the work tonight and see how everything is going.

After that interesting week at work getting the whole weekend off was great.  Over the weekend I just relaxed, slept and cleaned the house for the roommate's little (well not so little) Magic the Gathering event on Saturday.  I missed that and when I woke up I found four flies and couldn't figure out where the hell they came from.  Killed three of them and went back to my room.  The only problem is that when I came back out in the morning there were four more flies again, killed them again and I thought I found out where the flies were coming from as the only thing that had changed over the day was that the outdoor chairs came inside.  Took them back outside but damn there are still more flies.  Hopefully I'll kill them all and the fly issue will be taken care of soon.

Earlier this week I finally got the stickers that I ordered to send off to Japan and they looked pretty good and stuck one on the back of the Jetta and spent a good hour at the post office getting them sent off to Japan.  I just hope they get to Japan in time for the next Idler's Games event.  I also got the blog post about the Porsche Hillcross event posted up on the car blog as well. 

This week I did find a few more videos that need to be shared.

It's been a long week and finishing up autocross stuff has found me doing the Weekly Review on Tuesday yet again.  I'll have to get the blog up about on the new car blog soon as well.  The rest of the week was pretty normal though.  Nothing to exciting to mention on my side. Checking out some new Race Queens from after this last round.  Not a lot of outfit changes but some new teams showed up.

So yeah work is still moving along.  Still have water issues, no food issues and of course upper management running around not knowing what to do.  They did just find out about the family who have living there since November of last year and haven't paid but a few hundred dollars on their $20k+ bill.  Don't know how that's going to be resolved but personally I'm happy to have them gone.

This week my grandma decided that she was going to move into an assisted living facility where she knows some people and plays bridge.  So this was more than likely my last week to drive her around and take her grocery shopping even though I was getting used to it at had her little routine pretty much worked out.

Of course my sister offered to buy grandma's car and while I don't entirely mind (not like I have the money to buy it) I really don't want to see my sister trash the shit out of a pretty damn nice car with only 36k miles on it.  Still it's going to be an interesting thing seeing where things end up going or being sold to.  I'll have to call and see if my dad and uncle need any help with anything.

So yeah the weekend rolled around and I did the autocross thing on Sunday in some damn hot weather.  I'm just happy that I had the shade to use and there was an occasional cool breeze to help.  That and lots of water even if a lot of it ended up on my head.  I've finished editing the pictures and uploading the videos but haven't written the blog.  I'll do that after I get done with this one.   From that hot Sunday it looks like it might be cooling down finally.

In any case I did see some cool videos this week (and impressive anime Mardock Scramble whoohoo) and here are the videos worth mentioning.

Race Queens are always worthwhile


Drag Racing RWB's finally on Youtube

This looks like an interesting wire-fu movie


And Mardock Scramble...watched it, it was awesome...damn cliffhanger
