free movies

Tufts' Fall 2011 Film Series schedule is up. [More info here.]

Anyone wanna go to any of these with me?

Edit: And while we're on the subject, free outdoor live performance of Shakespeare's As You Like It this coming weekend. (Not my favorite play, but if anyone wanted to go...)

bicycle.

After morning church today, I went to Wheelworks and acquired myself a bike (and a lock; I'd already gotten a helmet before SANS -- though I think I may return the cable&combo lock I bought for a U-bolt /paranoid).

It's been about a decade since I last rode, and in trying out bikes today, at first there was an unexpected period of not feeling sure what I was doing (hello, doing things that scare you), but I got the hang of it.

Having purchased a bike, I was gonna just walk my bike home, since I'd left my helmet at home, but I was nearly at Davis when I decided to just ride.

The hardest thing is telling myself to own the lanes -- my instinct is to ride close to the right, to stay out of the way of vehicular traffic, even though intellectually I know that's more dangerous.

Dealing with traffic is also difficult/scary. I am proud of myself for biking the Powder House Rotary (I considered getting off my bike and walking it through umpteen crosswalks).
