A triumph of form over substance. The Animatrix is nine animated short stories based in The Matrix universe. The selections are very uneven, but I supposed that’s to be expected when there are nine different directors. Several of the stories are written by the Wachowski Brothers, but the credits at the end are in [...]
Went to the Schlitz and Giggles thing at Blackstone Square for a bit yesterday. It was definitely a courier event and I felt quite out of place, so I didn’t stay. Besides, the race didn’t close until 7:00 and there’s no way I was going to stick around that long. It started at 2:00 and [...]
Got the thing together and took it out for a maiden voyage. Almost didn’t make it back in one piece, but we’ll save that for later.
Spent a few hours last night putting it together and trying to get everything adjusted. I can say right now that I do not like V-brakes. They’re next to impossible [...]

Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is released from jail and plans his next caper: rob a vault holding the deposits of three Las Vegas casinos. Enter the ten other co-culprits. An excellent caper movie. Not quite on par with, say, Rififi, it was top quality. Just enough goes wrong to keep you interested if not [...]

There’s been a secret war between cats and dogs waging for centuries. The latest battle in the war involves a scientist (Jeff Goldblum) who is working on a vaccine to prevent dog allergies. The cats must stop this at all costs because it would give the edge in the war to the dogs. Hilarity [...]

The title says it all. Two stoners get hungry, must have sliders from White Castle, so they hit the road. Hilarity ensues. Or not. A stinker. I suppose one or two fo the jokes were funny, but this was so formulaic that you could just pick scenes and tell what the original movie was. [...]
Took the train to Southborough for a meeting with the NEC folks in Marlborough. (10 miles from the station). Got there a few minutes late, but earlier than some others. Meeting lasted about 90 minutes, then rode home. Regret not getting to talk to Jim B., that was one of the main reasons I went.
It [...]

Couldn’t get things done in time, so I didn’t get out of the house until 2:30, so the longest ride I could manage was West Newton. Spectacular day, almost 60. Roads are kind of a mess with all the melting snow but… 60 degrees!!! In February!!!
Stopped at Harris Cyclery while there and oogled at the [...]
chainwheel tattoo project
I have one bike tattoo, but not a chainwheel. (That’s it over there-> ) I’m not sure I’d want a bunch of little chainwheels everywhere. I think that would look like an spirograph. But one would be cool.

Ooh! An event in my neighborhood!
Feb 25, 1pm, Blackstone Park. I doubt I’ll have my new bike by then, though.
OLN slates spring TV schedule
Hmm… I wonder of Comcast offer a la carte yet?

Lots of snow, but it’s poofy stuff and I’ve seen worse.
Rating: Meh.
I got out today, but it was really cold and I could never get warmed up, so I cut it short. Taking a wrong turn didn’t really help either! I was planning to head up to the Concord/Acton area, but got halfway down the Esplanade and realized that wasn’t going to happen. I decided to [...]
Hamilton loses appeal
Can’t say it’s surprising, really.
A brand-spankin’ new Rob Roy will be on its way to me within a couple of weeks. Wait forever to order, now I can’t wait for it to get here.
