What have I done today? Not much. I got up at 3am to watch the Australian Grand Prix. I saw the important parts, I think. I always think that I can just rest my eyes and listen to Martin Brundle and his Norfolk accent (especially the way he pronounces "here"), but then I drift off and wake up and find all sorts of things have happened. :)

Seriously, I was awake for most of it. Especially the end where my friend David Coulthard won. Okay, so he only won because other people made mistakes or broke down, but he didn't make any mistakes. So good for him. :D

Let's see... Rubens crashed into the wall. Ralph Firman (looks a bit like Pierce Brosnan - it's the eyes I think) went off in the same place. Mark Webber's (looks a bit like George Lazenby - think it's the chin and he is Australian) suspension broke. Poor man was peering at the car trying to see what'd happened... Michael Schumacher went off and damaged his undertray (don't remember him going off, but I do remember him pitting and the whole "they might have to cut bits of aerodynamic stuff off" debate). Kimi Raikkonen... don't know what happened to him. *reads the ITV website* Ah, he sped in the pitlane. Don't remember that at all! Ah well. And Montoya span. I do remember that, vaguely. Another accident blamed on traction control going wrong. You'd think they'd be happy to get rid of that, come July and Silverstone. :p

Quite exciting. Things could have been disasterous, what with it being damp and them not being able to change the way the car's set up. I can't really see why they shouldn't be able to change the aerodynamics if it's raining. Seems daft. If it rains a lot they'll all crash within a few laps. :(

I was excited by the pace of the Saubers, too. Really, I was excited. And I was yelling (sotto voce) for the BAR's at one point. I'll cheer for most people. Except the Ferraris. It's not like they need cheering. (BOO!)

I'll have to work out my Fantasy F1 team soon. Ooer.

What else have I done? Printed off the GIS essay - I figure if it's not ready now it never will be.

And wrote a fic for a character that I've been doing roleplay with. It's Daisy's fault.

Aaargh...!!!
