Bike back

Finally got my bike back from the shop -- had to wait for a part for a while. It is once again running without steam pouring out from the engine. Yay. Also, now have a throttlemeister throttle-lock installed, so my right-hand will get occasional chances to relax on long trips. :) And it's a beautiful day, too.

Star Wars

I didn't go in with very high expectations. Episode 1 crushed those. I didn't even go in with particular high hopes. Episode 2 crushed those. It was pretty good, actually. I enjoyed it, and I didn't find anything that overwhelming annoyed me -- the Jar-Jar time was kept to an absolute minimum.

Ok, the ability to breathe around all that lava was a bit much for my suspension of disbelief, but it was dramatic looking.
