It's funny when where you want to be isn't a location.

April 16th came and went, and it was good. Built my day around the movie (and as expected), ran into logistics issues. It was well worth it, but only got to watch it twice. Now, it's the day after; and the after-effects are yet to set in proper. The soundtrack has been on loop for the past week or so (Blanco!) and yes, as Sal pointed out so blatantly, this is the first time I've watched a F&F movie without any sort of automobile sat in the garage. I thought I would have gone a bit madder than this. But it's a sad realization that I might have accepted the facts, and that's worrying simply because; I never accept the facts.
As far as I can see, the movie did have some direct effects: the return to modding culture has been re-sparked, and as long as I keep myself in line, that's a good thing. It was also surprisingly well made (I'm biased on this) and a nice reunion with characters that I have grown to adore 8 or so years ago.

Need to head out to work again, so have to leave this as it is. And yes, it's this stark contrast with reality that will drive me mad.
