Things haven't been quite the same since Midnite died. And I was feelin pretty bummed at one point, though this was months ago. Anyways, so we still have approximately 1.3 metric tons of dry cat food left since he passed, and it just sits there in our garage.
So lately, I've been feeding one of our neighbor's cats with our leftovers. She seems to like it, and I've named her Slutty Cat.
Why? Well first off, she gets around. Seriously, our neighbor says she's less than 8 years, but she's had 4 litters of kittens, and 2 litters were within the span of a year or so. So yes, she is a slut.
She has the ugliest caterwaul which I'm guessing, somehow attracts the throngs of male cats to ravage her. And she never stops! She's constantly in heat. You slut!
Anyways, she's using me now. I totally see how she works it. Here's the routine:
1.) I come home from work and park on the driveway
2.) She trots over to the driverside of my car while I get out. She begins to *meow*
2a.) Translated she's actually saying "It's about time you got home bitch, now feed my skank ass with some kibbles!"
3.) I give her some food
4.) She eats the food like it's her last day on earth
5.) I try to give her some sort of affectionate petting
6.) She recoils
7.) I leave, feeling dejected and used
8.) Finishing her snack, she smokes a cigarette
9.) I cry myself to sleep
Slutty Cat, why do you haunt me?!? Leave a nice guy alone...

(racing cont.)
Aside from the on/off again A's (currently 'On' and holding the pennant) it's been a pretty sad year for norcal sports. Luckily, automotive racing continues to surge in popularity, and so last weekend I went to the IRL Grand Prix at Infineon Raceway.
Overall, it lacked the festive atmosphere of downtown San Jose's GP, but the race itself completely blew San Jose out of the water. This was the first time I've seen Infineon (GT4 does not count) and I was impressed that you could see virtually 80% of the track at any spot around it. I got a grandstand seat behind the pit this time, more expensive, but worth more by the fact that we got to sit in the shade; shielded from the hot Sonoma summer sun. Will defintely return next season, and I wouldn't even mind watching next year's NASCAR run here, too.
Next up: American Le Mans at Mazda Speedway - Laguna Seca in October.
Presenting: The Black Chainlink Fence at Infineon Raceway - Sonoma
Green flag and the rolling start.
Down the 'S's - drivers averaged about 150 mph on this stretch.
Last chicane before Turn 10.
Turn 8 - AJ Foyt leading Tomas Scheckter.
Turn 1 - Where it starts to get tricky...
Scott Sharp going outside towards Turn 2.
Turn 2 - It's hard to tell from the photo, but it actually banks towards the outside. You have to watch your speed coming up this hill.
Giorgio Pantano watching his speed while I watch the plumes of dirt as he completely screws up his exit out of Turn 1.
Emergency crews got there FAST.
Overall it was a very tight race with not much passing. Drivers were forced to rely on fuel and pit strategies. And the winner is...
...Tony Kanaan! Patient driving pays off as the top field pretty much eliminated (crashed) themsevles little by little throughout the race.
The Winner's Circle is actually is more like a square.
