I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox

Happy holidays for those of you who actually visit my blog. I haven't had much the chance to post anything worthwhile as of recent. I plan on changing that, however.

Actually.. I stand correct. I can recount the stories from Candy's craft fair funtimes!

It was located in Ludlow, Mass. A terribly boring drive to the west! All in all, the experience was not lacking in any remote sense of the word. Plenty of people watching to be had for those who are not strict enjoyers of the craft. There were so many different types of things going on, being presented, and sold. We spent the better part of our day there and driving. Candy faired pretty well, sold a decent amount of her line and also made a few trades.

This is a picture from later into the day. Our (her) table and the two of us. I was just gearing up to brace myself against the harsh elements that seemingly came out of nowhere! I was on my way to the bagel shop down the road from the hall which held the craft fair when I ran into my mother. She was hours late and I had started to worry. I attempted several times to call her but to no avail. At this point I was hoping good bagels and coffee would set my mind at ease. Ultimately, with luck, I had no need to resort to food and caffeine to rest my worries, and now only needed them out of sheer habit and addiction. My mother took me right over to the bagel shop (and I thank God as it was pretty cold and her car was warmed from her travels). We got back and surprised Candy and Beth with treats and then my mom took a tour of the fair.

That more or less sums up the day without boring you with other details.

I soon will be ordering my block internals and looking into getting my block machined. I was considering sending it to Fast Eddies in New Jersey because of their prolific history and overwhelming reputation. I was quoted nearly $5k. No thanks. A Sterling reputation does not a deal make for me when it comes to that kind of money. Granted, I can't argue with their testimonials and the services they perform.. I'm just not up to spending that kind of money. So I will undoubtedly stay local.

Also, recently I have been looking into body kits and despite arguments against Chaser, I think for economic purposes I will going with their product. I am going to be drifting. Damaged bodies are a slight bit more appealing when your aero costs significantly less than $1200.00. I think for the vert I am much more likely to invest in high quality..but why break the bank over something I plan on getting mangled on more than one occasion?

I will be giving Leon a spare block and head for his build. He seems pretty gungho about doing it. Why not, right?

At any rate.. it is 1:00AM and Christmas Day (or morning if you want to be technical) and Candy has just finished watching 'Gone With The Wind' which probably means we will be going to bed shortly. Stay safe, happy holidays.

Wacky Holidays

So.. I've done a little bit of Christmas shopping. A little..

Picked up some pretty neat stuff for a cerstain someone. It's been a pretty busy season so far.. lot going on at work, and planning, etc. Candy has the Craft fair this weekend so that has consumed a lot of her time.

I have slowed down with the cars. That's not good. I suspect I will get back to it post Christmas. Here's hoping.

Although, tonight.. I did swap the tach from the dohc cluster to the HUD instrument panel. So..I guess every little bit counts.

I also wanted to display my not so flush stance. It really needs work. I definitely need a new suspension set up. I don't want to remove the collars on my coilovers. I haven't been disappointed with the ride, I just don't appreciate the look as much. I also don't think they are that great for lady drift. So here they are:

This definitely could use a smaller tire. I would also like to dial the wheel in a bit and tuck. I've been considering the koni+ground control set up, but I think I will be exploring that option with the vert. For this hatch I just want rigid and driftness with capability to slam for hella sexiness!

This is the second post I've made about the stance. So you know I am concerned

Now I wanted to add a few picutres that were random..but have relevance to this most recent week.

Dickroll anyone? Yep, that's right.. we went to my mom's place the other night for dinner. She was making a pan asian kind of meal. It was delicious (needless to say). One of the eggrolls bear an uncanny resemblance to a mandick. Or..Wongburger. You choose!

Also.. a visit from one of the girls outside. She wanted to check out our tree I suspect. Video included!!

Moooooooooooooooooooo:

Rough Cut Video From The Cruise

So..here is another example of how I sit on things forever. Some footage from the Kanc Cruise this summer with the boys from 240sxONE. The majority of the filming was extremely subpar. I think we should have brought people with experience in filming and really put something nice together.

But the facts are I had to weed through hours of shit, and then good footage that was really just boring.

I still have not invested in better editing software yet. I thought it came with the upgrade for the OS that I bought...but I guess not.

So I apologize for the lack of cleaning up, editing, music, etc. I had big plans, but I dunno when I will actually get around to it..

P.S. the quality is really bad.. If I ever finish editing..I will upload it to vimeo or something.
