The Good
WFMU's blog post today. I downloaded two albums from Silvester Anfang and Hellvete and they've been ideal soundtracks to studying supersonic flow. I wouldn't extend the label of black metal to these guys, but they certainly pick up on and gloriously manipulate the open, icy, near-death tones of folky Scandinavian music. The International Harvester comparison is dead on. Great stuff.
Training with the Renegades. I played in the B-side match over the weekend against a very weak team from Chattanooga. We won 34-0, and it was the first time I've played a game where I've really understood the progression of plays, and was thus able to take my mind off strategy long enough to talk shit and play dirty. Hopefully I'll be moving up to a sub on the A-side in a few weeks and really step up my game.
Mountain Dew and Grov Snus.
The Bad
My roomates playing Nirvana's "In Bloom" in the game Rock Band is a fucking sacrilege. Kurt Cobain is turning in his grave. What a stupid fucking game.
Georgia Tech parking. The next parking truck I come across is getting at least one flat tire. I parked in a lot next to a restaurant off-campus for one hour and I get a $60 ticket. I wouldn't be surprised if the meter maids goose-step in and out of their trucks.
The Ugly
What BMW-williams might be running this year:
BMW has always been innovative, but two sets of viking horns is too much. The smaller pair looks like they just might be vortex generators setting up a low-pressure jet into the mirrors. They also look to direct more flow down into the sidepods. Who knows. They've been a solid #3 team behind Ferrari and Mclaren for years, so I should expect nothing less with the design this year.
