Thursday #2

Alright, even though its technically past Thursday (for those readers on this side of the ocean) I've be coherced into posting.

I had an eventful day at The Argus and after arriving home I find Tino awake, but not in Pink's Room. I do a quick check and nada, he hasn't been in the room yet. He's doing stuff, normal Tino stuff, like taking a Tino and whatnot. Oh, and laundry. Big roadtrip this weekend, stuff's gotta be washed. So I go about my business making dinner and reading and I hear Tino leave his den and walk over to Pink's room. I then hear some puttering around and the banging of hammers. This is a good sign. But alas, I kid you not, 15 minutes later it all goes quiet. Tino's in the kitchen, making dinner and, you guessed it, settling in for a few races of F1. He's quite good, you know.

The F1

As I'm eating my dinner, I'm watching Tino race and am carrying on a conversation with him. Picture this. Tino in full Argus gear, driving an F1 car with one hand, the other munching on fish sticks, all while talking to me. Suddenly, Tino starts swearing, "Shit! Shit!" He missed a pit and although he didn't come right out and say it, I'm quite sure I'm to blame. This is not going to be good for his newfound career. Half a lap later he's DQ'd cause he's outta gas. He is not pleased. So his "team", Minardi, sends him an "email" and they are obviously not pleased - I'm not sure what it said as it was in Deutsch - but I know it wasn't good because Tino says, "Fuck you, Minardi." And with that, he grabs his dinner and dissapears into the den, I'm sure retiring for the night.

And I did go back into Pink's Room and I may have found some evidence of work having been done. The plaster was still wet therefore leading me to believe that soem plaster was applied today. Maybe you want to sort through some older photos and decide for yourself. It's become a bit of a mystery to me, but if its that hard to tell if actual work has been done, can we really say any progress has been made? I didn't think so.

Also, it should be noted that today is an anniversary of sorts. A week ago today, last Thursday January 11, 2007, was the day Tino initially proclaimed the day that the room would be ready. So we're on 7 days (not to mention the 90 days Pink has already spent living in a living room) and counting.

Cheers.
