EDIT I misspelled Danica -- no wonder I couldn't find any pages on her. Plus I found her homepage.
Danica Patrick nearly won the damn race.
I can't believe it.
Ok, a guilty pleasure -- I am a bit of a race fan, of the old-time variety, meaning I don't get NASCAR.
I have been to the Indy 500, but not for a few years now. I tuned in to see how this Danika chick would do, having heard a little. But I saw her save a sliding car from hitting the wall in qualifying, and she qualified fourth despite that.
She pulled a boner when she stalled it during a pit stop, and nearly knocked herself out of the race when she spun.
But she was leading near the end, and even though she got passed, she passed back to retake the lead very late.
To this point, a woman had never led the race, and she did, for real -- not just some yellow-lap lead. My hat is off to her.
To say she upstaged the winner is an understatement -- she was interviewed first, and I don't remember just who in the hell did win.
Wow. I'm all dorked-out excited about this.

I don't like it because it doesn't look like me. The light falls weird on my eyebrows and I look much older than I actually am. And my hair is falling weird on my face.
Maybe you are a virus. Maybe the human race is the planet's cancer.
It's too late for me to make much sense. Too weird a day for me to care that I don't.
Thank you
