Brandi and I caught the noon matinee of “V for Vendetta” today.

It was awesome. There’s nothing I love more than a highly literate, highly articulate demented avenger, and Hugo Weaving did a hell of a job, considering that he was behind a rigid mask the whole time.

I give it 4 jihadis out of 5.

When we got home from the movies, there was a package on my porch! My moustache bars are here! Woo!

I got them installed in a ramshackle sort of way. The brake cables could still do with some tidying up, but it’s ridable.

First Impressions:

• They feel wierd. They bend you over a good bit more than drops do given the same stem configuration.
• They seem a bit smaller than I expected. I’m not sure why I expected them to be bigger. I suppose I usually see them depicted on bikes smaller than mine.
• So far, I like them. I’ve only had a quick spin around the neighborhood, so we’ll see how well they hold up to a longer ride.
