Weekly Review

What a week.  No really it's been a crazy week both here and around the world. While my week wasn't bad I was definitely glued to the news as one of the largest natural disasters hit Japan over the week and things have not been getting better as their nuclear power generators are having some serious issues.  I've already blogged about all of that already so that I can focus the weekly review on my week instead.

I've been reading updates about things happening in Japan and it looks like the first round of the Super GT is still at the moment set to start on the first weekend of April.  This might change though but at the moment I'm still happy to see that the disaster hasn't affected to much stuff other than a few events that are happening his week.

On this side of the ocean my roommate and I went to the 39th Annual Boise Roadster Show on Friday and I had the pictures uploaded by Saturday.  You can read about both the Roadster Show and the Miss Roadster Show on my car blog.

The rest of Saturday was spent watching the news and going to MoNAC which was a great way to get my mind off the tragedy that was unfolding in Japan.  Since I traded Friday for Sunday I pretty much wasted Sunday having to head back to work.  So Honestly at the moment I'm just a bit out of  place especially since it was also daylight Saving on Saturday.

So now I'm at Monday morning and as soon as I'm finished with this post and the Miss Roadster Show post I'll be heading out looking at purchasing a new to me car.  We went to the public auction on Friday to check out the inventory for Saturday's auction and didn't find anything there that I was interested in so it looks like I'll be picking up that white VW Jetta that I looked at on Monday last week.

I did find some nice videos this week as well

So how do you kick off the new year of autoshows and motorsports events in Idaho? Well you start off with the Boise Roadster show. Since it's in March and it's rather cold how do you heat up the night? Well with the Miss Roadster show of course. This is the second year I've filmed the Miss Roadster Show and had to drag along a friend to take pictures.

The 2010 Miss Roadster Show was a bit smaller this year with only 15 entrants instead of last years 20+ entrants. There were a few repeat entrants this year and aside from the winner the runner ups were repeats from last year as well. I did like that there was a cute Asian lady just to bad she decided use hunting boots instead of camo high heels or something.

I'll admit that some of the girls are not the type that you would consider hotties but hey you still gotta give them props for getting half naked and on a stage in front of drooling boys. I'd dare you to do the same thing. Hey at least this year a girl didn't think it would be a great time to self pierce her belly button and bleed all over the place before the contest.

Since I dragged along a friend to take pictures it freed me up to take film of the girls. It was a bit hard considering we had a tall hottie sitting in front of us so I was constantly trying to film over her head but I got all the girls on their own video and then filmed the group and the winners. You can find all the videos on my YouTube page and the pictures of the show can be found on Flickr. I might go back and see if I can't work on some more but I'm right in the middle of doing all the car show pictures and the autocross pictures.

What a week. This was a busy and fun week with lots of fun stuff a lot of work and a 13hr nappy time on Sunday which is why the Weekly Review is a day late. Since I have lots of pictures you'd think I'd use one for this post but no those are for their respective blog posts so it's even more lovely Race Queen goodness instead. I'm sure you don't mind.

So the beginning of the week was pretty no nonsense it wasn't until about Friday that everything got all sorts of a busy. First up was the 38th annual Boise ID Roadster Show. I dragged one of my friends along with so that he could take pictures of the Bikini Show while I filmed it. That was pretty interesting but had a smaller number of contestants than last year. I'll post more about that tomorrow. The Roadster show it self was smaller than last year as well and I don't think it was nearly as good but there was the Porsche 911 GT3 so I has happy about that. I'm still working on those pictures.

Saturday was supposed to be a yard work day but holy hell it snowed a pretty good amount on Saturday morning and stuck around until about midday. After that some friends came over and we all played a board game while a former roommate's girlfriend and mom came over to move out the rest of his stuff. After the game I got ready and headed out to the Saturday night MoNAC anime club meetup which was alright and it's good that we are sticking to our schedule which is nice.

Sunday was a blast minus the daylight savings time which sucks when you have to get up an hour earlier than you'd normally do. All for some home brewed motorsports in the form of Autocross. Even though it was cold it was nice and sunny and for the first event there was a huge turn out with some 80 odd cars and I did a lot of filming and photographing and I'll get to blogging about that probably on Wednesday. Mostly because it'll take me that long to get everything uploaded.

When we got home it was about 7pm and after watching The Simpsons I simply passed out and didn't wake up until this morning after a good 13hrs of glorious sleep. Which will suck when it comes to work tonight as I wont be tired again for some time. Anyways after posting this it'll be photo editing time so I'll have to leave you with something interesting to watch...
