This Week in Motorsport
Formula Fun!
My Formula One season hasn't made a good start. Watching the opening round, the Australian Grand Prix went well, but I was on the road during the next two grands prix, master debating in Ohio during the Malaysian Grand Prix & master debating in Oregon during last weekend's Chinese Grand Prix. I was home during both of the weekends 'twixt Malaysia & China, but of course those Sundays were Palm Sunday & Easter Sunday, & not even the F1 circus is going to travel then. My plan for this afternoon was to watch yesterday's qualifying session & then this morning's controversial Bahrain Grand Prix, but an unexpected battle with the hydra that is our house's sump pump & sundry pipes eighty-sixed those plans. When will I find the time to watch Bahrain? Sooner rather than later, I hope.

Postscript (11:26 P.M.): I watched qualifying after this evening's new episode of MythBusters. Vettel's on the pole! Woot! I should have the time to watch the grand prix itself on Tuesday. The worst part about missing a race is having to avoid the F1 websites—part of my normal online routine—, so as not to learn the outcome.

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: SKApril
The Planet Smashers, "Romeo" from Attack of The Planet Smashers (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: The Planet Smashers are Canadians. Given how far behind the eight-ball that puts them, they aren't so bad.

Bonus S.O.T.D.!
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Not to Me on That Night" from Pin Points and Gin Points (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: We're had two bonus S.O.T.D. during SKApril, both by The Bosstones & both from their first post-hiatus album, Pin Points and Gin Joints. Amidst the Blue Tree Whackers I'm alone in revering T.M.M.B. alongside the likes of Less Than Jake & the Reel Big Fish, but that isolation doesn't diminish my love for their music. Ska is my favorite music & The Mighty Mighty Bosstones might be my favorite ska band.
