Since his “incident”, Leonard (Guy Pearce) is unable to form new memories. Everything fades in a matter of minutes. To cope with this problem, he’s taken to the habit of taking snapshots of everything and writing notes on them as a sort of “photographic memory”. For very important things, he tattoos himself with [...]

A biopic about Ed Wood, often voted the worst director evar. Director of Plan 9 from Outer Space, and Glen or Glenda?
Johnny Depp does a fantastic job as Wood, in fact, most of the cast are fantastic. Martin Landau’s performance as the drug addled Bela Lugosi really did deserve the Oscar he won. Sarah [...]
Car trouble? To the rescue, here come the bike guys - The Boston Globe
Too bad their prices keep going up and up. Faster even than the T, I think. I expect another increase momentarily.
Reactions to the cycling law article. They speak volumes.

Cyclist peddles a dream: Boston-S.F. path - The Boston Globe
Clearly, this guy doesn’t know our mayor. If he contributed substatially to the mayor’s compaign fund, he might have a chance. Otherwise, forget it. Unless, of course, he could make this path about 35 stories high.
Monday was the Marathon. I got a sort of late start, and didn’t leave the finish line until 7:15. I made to the starting line in Hopkinton just about two hours later. It was quite cold. Had to wear my early spring jersey, gloves, and shoe covers. There were a lot of bikes out on [...]
Yesterday, I took a ride downtown to do an errand and it was such a nice day that I didn’t want to come back home, so I rode around town to see what’s changed.
Verdict: a lot.
I rode out to the Seaport or Waterfront or whatever it’s called today and the amount of building is astounding. [...]
I have converted my convertible pants to shorts.
That is all.
The girl woman upstairs was given a bike by a friend of hers. She’s a runner, but was talked into trying a triathlon. Her friend was, apparently, very tall and the bike was too small, so he gave it to her. Nice deal. It’s a 53cm Giant of some kind. I adjusted the saddle and [...]

I’ve seen this guy around Boston a lot, although not recently. I’m not sure what the Gallway connection is.

An extraordinary film from the City of Copenhagen. Sane traffic planning. If only Boston could have as much foresight. But then Mayor Menino is only capable of explaining why things can’t be done.
It took the Danes 30 years. I say we get started now.

Finally put on the new mustache handlebars on the IRO last night. Easy enough job, but I just hate wrapping bars. Plus, the Nashbar cork tape smells pretty bad. They should put some airholes in that bag. Phew.
I think I got them lined up okay but I might have to shorten the brake cable housings. [...]
I got the brochure for the TFCE (The Flattest Century in the East) in the mail yesterday. That raises a puzzlement. It’s on Sept 10, the day after the NVP Century. Last year, I skipped the NVP to go to the TFCE. I went the night before and stayed with Mr. Misfit and his good [...]

Dr. Cooper develops a drug to cure depression. The drug company he works for wants to market it without proper testing. The drug turns out to have unfortunate side effects. Hilarity ostensibly ensues.
Rarely have I been so dissapointed by a film I really wanted to like. The Kids in the Hall are one of [...]

A bunch of people who hate each other are on a boat travelling the Nile. Five get killed. Poirot calls them all together to announce the murderer. The end.
Granted, no one will equal David Suchet’s Poirot, just like no one will equal Jeremy Brett’s Sherlock Holmes. But even granting that will never happen, this [...]
