What is “me”, Alex.
I had every intention of trying to do a century last Saturday, but I couldn’t get my act together. Even after joining the UMCA year-round challenge thing. And it was 50 degrees. In January. How many times does that happen? Yeah, I was a little tired after Friday, but not that tired. [...]

Turns out a good looking video, too.

Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx) takes over as head of Freedonia. Hilarity ensues. Mostly. I find this to be weaker than either /Day at the Races/ or /Night at the Opera/. Songs have no real purpose, and the jokes are there as jokes only and not to advance the story in any way. Don’t [...]

William Stryker (Brian Cox) is on a mission to destroy all mutants and co-opts the president into authorizing a “special ops” to do it. Professior Xavier and the X-Men, -Women, -Boys and -Girls have to band together to stop him. This is better than the first X-Men, I think because it doesn’t have to [...]

Met (finally) bikenerd Knox and went for a ride northwest of town. Brrr. C-c-c-cold.
Met up at the Eliot Bridge and headed to Cambridge for coffee at Carberry’s. Good coffee, but a bit slow on the service. Welcome, all the same. From there, out Mass Ave to Lexington, along Old Mass Ave, through Minuteman Park, [...]

A Republic Studios 12-part serial from 1941. I was pleasantly surprized. The story is good, if somewhat repetitious when watching all episodes in a row. They were meant to be viewed once a week over a three-month period, after all, so there was a bit of recapping at the beginning of each episode. And [...]
Went to the ADA reception in Newton last night. It’s tough getting there. You have to take the Green Line all the way to Riverside then call the hotel for a shuttle. The problem is the station is in a little ravene and there’s no cell service. Luckily there’s also a bus depot there with [...]

I’m still hoping for a channel tunnel TTT.

Queen Victoria is distraught for years following the death of Prince Albert from Typhoid. Enter Mr. Brown, a highlander who, through various touchy-feely stuff, gets her back to her old self. I’m not big on chick flicks, generally, and while this was a good movie, it’s not one I’d make a real point to [...]

Brake cable to replace the one snapped in yesterday’s storm: $3.15 from LBS.
I think I’ve said it before, but my client has the unnatural ability for scheduling meetings during spectacularly bad weather. Sometimes she schedules these weeks in advance. If you want to know whether there will be a blizzard or tornado, ask me when our next meeting is.
Take today for example.
Guess what time the meeting was [...]
I saw these somewhere yesterday (sorry, forgot where). I’ve been looking for something like these too.
Continental Ultra Sport Home Trainer Tire
I’ve been using ultra cheap tires on the trainer, but they’re so cheap they melt and leave a mess. But since these can’t be used outside at all, it really means having two back [...]
Bar Hopper Drink Holder
Something long, long overdue. Nice, simple, to the point without a lot of overengineering and pointless flash. Now I just have to find where they sell them.

The Bride continues on her path of revenge. Having dispatched O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) and Vernita Green (Vivica Fox) in Vol. 1, The Bride, whose name we learn about halfway through for no apparent reason, sets out to get Budd (Michael Madsen), Elle (Daryl Hannah), and Bill (David Carradine). She does. No surprise there. [...]

A movie adaptation of the Hellboy comic. Nazis (of course) have Rasputin (naturally) conjure up a portal to another dimension (or something) in order to summon $something to help them win the war. Baby Hellboy makes it through the portal before it’s destroyed and grows up to be Ron Perlman (who else?) under the [...]

Yesterday was such a nice day that I decided to play hookie¹ and go for a ride. Whoa. There is no doubt that I haven’t been out for a real ride in two months. And to think I was actually contemplating getting up early and trying for 100 miles. No. Way. I did 55 and [...]
