Gunslingers and GladstoneWarning, Spoilers Ahead for Gunslinger Girl - Il Teriano
Anyway, Gunslinger Girl... it needs more montage. Seriously, when Triela was gearing up to take on Pino the second time around there should have been a montage
That said: great series. The first season was probably the better in terms of atmosphere etc, but the second got extra points for the excess of Classic Italian Metal charging around the screen. The 101 series Gulietta Spider (appeared in the first series too I think) and 1750 GTV used by Franco and Fancesca were particularly cool, with the 'Grale coming a close second.
Speaking of Italian metal, spent the last few days getting the Alfetta prepped for her trip north [link] . It's just the general maintinence stuff that needed doing, but it was nice to get back into the garage again. Plugs and points (well, plugs, the Alfetta's distributor's breakerless), oil changes, find that GODDAMN RATTLE. Stuff that needed doing before driving to Gladstone on friday. Also, at the parents' bidding, got a new set of tyres. Switched from the Yoko C.Drives (mildly performance tyre) to A.Drives (stock road tyre), simply because the C.Drive doesn't come in the right sizing for the car. Experience says the reduction in rolling radius is just enough to take the ride height from "impractical" to "annoying impractical". So it's back to 195/65/R14s, besides, they fill out the wheel arches more and look more period for the car. So far, wet grip's back up (understandable, I have tread again), but dry grip is defs down.
Anyway, all that's left to do now is wash, wax and polish.
In other news, I'm trying to work out if it's worth renewing my sub or not.
There was something else I was going to say, but I've forgotten what it was.
Tired
Cheers mate!

A wise soul holds onto their dreams in a struggle.
A foolish one only dwells on burying them with it.
They needed to: show lots of things / happening at once / reminding everyone of what's going on / and with every shot / show a little improvement / to show it all would take too long, aye?

So if you can afford it, do it! I personally think it's worth it. Journals are sooooo unattractive without it.

Ok, so actually I just find montages entertaining.
