Looks like she's getting demoted to bedroom for xfactor :P
What? You let her out of the kitchen??
I allow her to watch mind numbing programs to keep her under the secret mind control
Absolutely - that's Good Husbandry 101. Mine is currently watching Vampire Diaries. It's okay; she's finished the dishes.
At the airport, on my way to Austin (via Minneapolis and San Antonio)!
Indeed - jealous and pleased for you in equal measure Ben!

Have fun and enjoy!

Where are you sitting at just for curiosity sake?
Sorry I couldn't have joined you Ben! Have fun.

General admission, so... all over.
The more I think about it, the more I feel like we need Vettel to have a mechanical failure or accident if Alonso is going to win the title.
Well, that was pretty cool.
Are they really sliding as much as they say?
1:39:6 for Hamilton, Vettel does a 1:38.1? Jeez...
well it was only the first practice, pretty sure lap times will change a lot from that
Fuuu.... Someone should throw nails and needles onto the track just before Vettel's fast lap.
Quote from Rappa Z :Are they really sliding as much as they say?

Yeah, there was a lot of sliding.
Sliding can be expected on harder tires and new pavement. . I continue to be impressed by the race track's shape though

Hope there won't be a domination Sunday
