My perpetual cold is making a resurgance at the moment so I feel like crap. This isn’t helped by the fact the heating in the office is broken so it’s a bit chilly here at the moment.
I should really just have stayed in bed today.
The Blu-ray version is fantastic, especially the IMAX-sourced parts which you didn’t get to see at a “normal” cinema. I still think they wasted an excellent opportunity to use the line “Gordon’s Alive“.
Our second subtitled foreign-language film, and one that was far more amusing than I was expecting, especially considering the subject matter of the latter half.
Pinched from Boing Boing
A lazy Sunday afternoon of films today, Hancock, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, and now The Matrix on Blu-Ray.
Another 20 mile ride along the canal and back tonight. I was somewhat overdressed for the weather but at least wasn’t as cold as last week. I’ve still got numb toes though, I probably need to invest in overshoes or something similar.
It’s a Pixar movie, what could possibly be wrong with it? In fact it’s possibly one of their best so far.
The rear of the 69er now has a 10mm RWS skewer instead of a normal sized one which should hopefully cure or reduce the creaking. The Bontrager branded DT Swiss hubs obviously aren’t exactly the same as the DT Swiss 240s as I had to grind one of the spacers down slightly for it to fit properly. Test ride later, maybe.
Tonight was the first ride with my new lights, and I’m very impressed. By turning them on in "race mode" a quick press of the button flicks the light between high (700 lumens) and low (175 lumens). Low is more than adequate when there are other sources of light such as street lights, and high is just superb when it gets darker. Hopefully they’ll prove to be more reliable than my previous lights.
One downside is that it interferes with my cordless computer and stops it working, hopefully it won’t affect the GPS when I get around to fitting that as a replacement.
