F1 - Malaysian Sepang GP & Fandom Meme
WOOOT! ALONSO won the race and Hamilton was second!
First McLaren one-two since... well, I don't know! Best result ever :D. Alonso's now leading the Drivers Champ Points and McLaren the Constructors!
F1 - Malaysian Sepang GP
- Okay, in the grand scheme of things, it was an uneventful race, BUT... I was holding my breath throughout. If you'd seen how shocking McLaren was last year (how much DNFs they got), you'd be constantly anxious about their reliability too. I was seriously chanting, "PleaseLetThemFinish.PleaseLetThemFinish.PleaseLetThemFinish," throughout the race. Nevertheless, Alonso ran the PERFECT race, except for being radio-less prior to the first pit stop, something that also happened to Kimi when he won the race in Melbourne, which, as Alonso pointed out, might actually be lucky, heh ;). Well done Alonso :D.
- I know I was a bit short when the commentators over-hyped Hamilton in the last race, but boy did he not absolutely EARN it, and even maybe more, in this one! That start was FANTASTIC when he overtook both Ferraris. Then he actually held them off despite the fact that they were faster! And when Massa tried to overtake, he actually overtook back (something you don't see very often with the Ferraris), eventually forcing that error on Massa's part. IMPRESSIVE! And I was surprised by how tough he thought the race was, both concerning the heat (wait 'til he try Bahrain next week, in the middle of the bloody desert!) and the pressure from the Ferraris. But he held them off, which was what mattered. VERY well done, Hamilton!
- I was surprised that Kimi made up all that time to Hamilton at the end, considering he was more than ten seconds behind him at one point.
- Massa's mistake showed echoes from his past clumsiness, which is a shame, but I'm sure won't be a consistent problem.
- Yay for the Renaults! Both finishing in the points, even though Heikki got in due to Rosberg's engine/hydraulic (?) failure. Poor Rosberg btw. And poor Kubica too. The last two races haven't been kind to him, though BMW's obviously doing well, currently third in the championship points (huh, guess my 'underdog' team isn't so underdog after all!). Well done Heidfeld for holding off Massa and finishing fourth! :D.
Can't wait for BAHRAIN NEXT WEEK! Yay, not a long wait til the next GP!!! Hee, it's gonna be a super-HOT one and, hopefully, some rain? Gah, I've been waiting for rain in every GP...

Because I don't want to finish this post yet, here's a fandom meme stolen from miss_atom:
Name your top six TV shows right now, before reading the questions.
1. Supernatural
2. Heroes
3. House M.D.
4. Grey's Anatomy
5. CSI
6. CSI:Miami
Hmmm, there are other tv shows I like better than #4-6, but since the meme mentions "right now" (as in ones I'm watching RIGHT NOW) and implies 'fictional' TV (as in, no Colbert or Celebrity Poker), I'll go with those three.
01. Who is your favorite character from #2?
Heroes... Hmmm, tough choice between Claire, Hiro, and now Nathan, but I'm gonna have to go with CLAIRE. She's such a fascinating, powerful, surprisingly complex character played brilliantly by Hayden Panettierre, who manages to still come across as a teen without being irritatingly whiny about her gift.
02. Who is your least favorite character from #4?
Grey's Anatomy, huh? Okay, the ever consistent answer would be MEREDITH, but she hasn't been irritating me as much since she finally snagged McDREAMY, who similarly hasn't been as annoying as before. On the other hand, thanks to Isaiah Washington, I'm turned off by BURKE, and ever since Denny, IZZIE has been on a downward spiral for me. GEORGE has also been acting like a complete moron by sleeping with Izzie. Hmmm, tough. Any of those five, I suppose.
03. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
Supernatural and CSI. Heh, easy. The Winchesters investigated a scene of a particularly grizzly crime in Vegas, OF COURSE neglecting to wear gloves and leaving perfectly good DNA evidence all over the place. The CSIs came in with their super-zoom-able eyes, picked up all the goodies, ran them, and found records for Dean and the 'Bonnie-to-his-Clyde' Sam, which included murder, bank robbery, grave desecration and the likes. The CSIs got close to nailing the brothers before the Winchesters lost them and hightailed it out of town. Because the CSIs always solve everything, they found out it wasn't the Winchesters after all who committed the crime, and the Winchesters realized that the weird case wasn't supernatural but that most of the Vegas cases were funky and odd anyway.
04. Who is your favourite ship from #6?
CSI:Miami... Easy, CALLEIGH/RYAN. Used to be Calleigh/Eric, but Boa Vista turned me off Eric big time and, despite the moments we got when Eric was shot in this season, I still go for Calleigh/Ryan. They have many cute moments together, they have a great chemistry, and I actually like that Calleigh's older and superior to Ryan (I just think she's such a tough, yet graceful, character that she suits a younger man to keep her strength).
05. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
House & CSI:Miami... Hmmm, Calleigh doesn't suit anyone from House and I like all the male characters from House too much to set them up with Boa Vista. I don't know... CAMERON and ERIC (DELKO, not Foreman, obviously), just because it'll be hot?
06. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
Grey's? ADDISON of course! I'll be happy just to follow her around and bask in her beauty, heh. Nah, I'll be interested to find out everything she can tell me about her field. Besides cardio, I find her specialty the most fascinating.
07. If you could change one thing about #2's plot line, what would you change?
Heroes has been perfect so far. I don't know what I'd change... Hmmm, maybe keep ZACH by CLAIRE's side always?
08. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them.
CSI... I'd say NICK/SOFIA because that's my primary ship, but there doesn't seem to be much evidence of a relationship on-screen that I can elaborate upon, so I'd go with GRISSOM/CATHERINE. Romantic/non-romantic, I'm so fascinated by this relationship, which I assume is Grissom's longest with a woman. I want to know how they started to know each other, their history, basically through Eddie and everything else. I like how they're very different, but they understand and balance each other. And I like how they've had tensions in the past, as people would realistically do. Despite Grissom/Sara being cannon, I still think Grissom's relationship with Catherine as the more significant one.
09. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
Supernatural and House. Who'd be the lead in Supernatural? SAM because Jared's name comes up first? Hmmm, I guess I'd have to say Sam because Dean'll die without him and House probably doesn't want to be saved anyway. Though, Sam has less chance of drowning since he's younger, stronger, and doesn't have a bum leg like House... Still, I'd say SAM ;).
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose?
Grey's? Heh, obvious. I'll change to title to ADDISON's Anatomy (never mind it will no longer have the reference to the Gray's Anatomy book), put Kate Walsh's name first and then Chandra Wilson, Justin Chambers, Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight, Sara Ramirez, Eric Dane, The Chief (forgot his real name!), Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, and Isaiah Washington. I'm cruel that way ;).
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6, what would the character be like, and what would their role be?
CSI:Miami... A Megan Donner character to balance Horatio because currently he's just too much. This new character will have to be smart, strong, influential, and can hold her own against Horatio. Yes, very much a Catherine to Grissom and a Stella to Mac.
12. What happens in your favorite episode of show #2?
Heroes? I don't really have a favorite yet (since all the episodes flow) and I don't want to spoil the Brits in my flist, so I'll just say the one where my favorite character meets their blood relative(s).
13. If you could kill off one of the characters in #1, who would it be and how would you do it?
Supernatural? DEAN OR SAM?!?!?! Are you freakin' kidding me? NEVER EVER NEVER!!! I'm pretty glad John Winchester is dead though, as cruel as that may sound... I like my show just with the two brothers.
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
House or CSI? Hmmm, probably House though I got no special interest in either.
15. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Dean or Sam Winchester would be on top of that list ;D, but realistically, considering what they do, I might have to go with Greg Sanders or Alex Karev or Ryan Wolfe *shrug*. I'll probably get along the best with Greg, to be honest, though physically, I'm attracted to Dean and Ryan the most :D.
Time for bed for me...
