Harriet and I went on the annual CRW New Year's Day Ride, about 19 miles on the semi-deserted streets of downtown Boston, Charlestown, and Southie. Weather was great for the time of year, close to 50 degrees. I rode my Quickbeam witht he Zzipper fairing on it, and was comfortable in a short sleeved jersey. I would have worn fingerless gloves but I couldn't find 'em.Opera: (DVD) Wagner: Das Rheingold Lothar Zagrosek, 2004
This production from Stuttgart has fine performers, struggling to make sense of a totally idiotic set/concept/costumery. The set looks like the lobby of a mid-20th century Art Deco office building, with a large round fountain in the middle, and a sink on stage right. The fountain is supposed to be the mighty Rhine, I don't know what the sink is supposed to be. The opera opens with the Rhinemaidens flittering around in their pantsuits, pulling golden goblets and platters from the big fountain, bringing them over to the sink, washing and drying them, then putting them back into the fountain. Go figure.The costumes are mostly early-mid 20th century business wear. Wotan is apparently the C.E.O. The Tarnhelm is a mirror in a rectangular wooden frame. The bridge to Valhalla is a stairway going down into a trap door. The whole producion is a total travesty visually, which is a shame because the performers are really quite good, and to the best they can with the trash they're given to work with.
I'd still love to see a production of Der Ring with traditional stagecraft, castles that look like castles, gods that look like gods and the whole panoply of special effects Wagner intended.
Took Tova to the airport back to Santa Cruz. It has been nice to have the whole family together for a few days, we miss her a lot.
eBook: Homeward Bound Harry Turtledove, 2004
This appears to be the concluding volume of the World War series. Humanity has finally gained a technological advantage over the invaders from Tau Ceti, and an uneasy peace prevails.This is my favorite Turtledove series. The concept sounds a bit goofy, but it is so well executed that I found it irresistable. I was sad to come to the end of it.
Opera: (DVD) Le Nozze di Figaro Mozart (Haitink, 1990)
I'm not generally a Mozart fan, but this was pretty good.
Film: (DVD) The Godfather Francis Ford Coppola, 1972
George had never seen this, and I hadn't seen it for many years. A great film, though no longer with quite the impact it had back before The Sopranos.
Clié Disaster
I've lost a number of the applications and other files from the 512 mb Compact Flash card I use in my Sony Clié NZ90. Finally it got so bad I had to re-format the card. This was a huge time sink, as I needed to then reload and re-register a lot of my software, but in the end it is working a lot better than it had been.
Concert: Boston Symphony Orchestra Hindemitn, Mozart, Bolcom. Hans Graf,Êconductor Sir James Galway,Êflute
A new Bolcom piece, "Lyric Concerto for Flute and Orchestra" and a Mozart flute concerto sandwiched in between Hindemitn's Konzertmusik for Strings and Brass and the Mathis der Maler Symphony.I like the Mathis der Maler a lot, this was the high point of the concert for me.
eBook: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams
This may be the funniest book ever written. Not the first time I've read it, I've been a fan since the original radio broadcasts were run on WGBH years back. Indeed, I am fortunate enough to have taped the broadcasts, and have nearly worn out the tapes over the years.Film: (DVD) The Duellists Ridley Scott, 1977
An excellent "costume" film, set in the early part of the 19th century in France. A hussar takes an unreasoning dislike to a colleague, precipitating a series of inconclusive duels over a 30 year period. Great costumes and production values, good acting, good direction. I liked this quite a lot.
A rare foggy day, made me homesick for France.Film: (DVD) I, Robot Alex Proyas, 2004
Well, they bought the title from the estate of Isaac Asimov, and also the Three Laws of Robotics, but that's about it. Good visuals, but lousy writing. Will Smith did the best he could with the dreck he was given.
Film: (DVD) Buffet Froid
I forgot that I had seen this 2 1/2 years ago...Not really worth a second viewing.
eBook: Shadow of Saganami David Weber, 2004
A sequel to the Honor Harrington series only recommended for hard core fans.
Film: (DVD) The Adventures of Pluto Nash Ron Underwood, 2002
Eddie Murphy is the eponymous hero in this science-fiction action/comedy, set on the Moon in 2080. It's fluff, but it's a hoot. I liked it better than I expected to.
Film: (DVD) Cyrano de Bergerac Jean-Paul Rappeneau, 1990
Seeing Buffet Froid made me want to re-view Gerard Depardieu in Cyrano, which I believe I saw dubbed on the big screen when it first came out. It is a very fine film, but I wish it had French subtitles or an English soundtrack. (It only has English and Spanish.) The French is hard to understand, possibly in part due to the Gascon accents. Both the French dialogue and English subtitles are in rhymed couplets. Trying to keep the two simultaneous rhyme schemes in my head at the same time was impossible.
Four more years. Ugh!Film: (DVD) Égaré ("Strayed") André Téchiné, 2004
Based on a novel by Gilles Perrault, this is the story of a young war widow who flees the German advance on Paris in 1940 with her 13 year old son and 9 year old daughter. Their car gets strafed and bombed, so the family runs off the road, through the woods and finds an unoccupied house. The three of them, plus an illiterate 17 year old reform-school fugitive set up houskeeping... I liked this film very much, and recommend it highly.
Concert: Boston Symphony Orchestra Ullmann, Shostakovich; James Conlon & Garrick Ohlsson
We picked this one because it featured the Shostakovich "Leningrad" Symphony (#7). We were 4 for this concert, because we had given a pair of tickets to George for Christmas. He brought a friend from Brandeis.A major blizzard was in progress, so we left early to be on the safe side, and went to an Indian restaurant for a pre-concert dinner. I liked it better than I had expected. George became something of an expert on Indian food while he was in Bristol, so we let him be our guide.
The Shostakovich was just fine, but the big surprise was the 1940 Viktor Ullmann Piano Concerto. None of us had ever heard of Ullmann before, and the Concerto was a knocout, somewhat influenced by Janacek. It turns out that Ullman was one of the victims of Theresienstadt and Auschwitz, a great loss.
The concert was very sparsey attended on account of the blizzard, and we moved down from the second balcony to the floor at the intermission. Got to sit on the cross aisle, with 15 feet of leg room, near the center...the seats I've always coveted.
The drive back, dropping George and his friend at Brandeis and then back home to Newton was somewhat challenging due to the snow conditions. Fortunately, there were very few other vehicles on the road. I must admit to taking particular pride, even to the point of vanity, in my snow driving skills. Had no problems as a result, hardly ever even engaged the ABS system.
Film: (DVD) The Godfather Part 2
Film: (DVD) Troy Wolfgang Petersen, 2004
I found this rather monotonous, may have been as much Homer's fault as Petersen's.
Somebody bought a very bad list of phone numbers. I got a call today from the Republicn National Campaign Committee, asking for a $1000 contribution and permission to use my name in a newspaper advert! As if!Film: (DVD) The Godfather Part 3
eBook: Emerald Sea John Ringo, 2004
This is part of a series that attempts to bridge the gap between the "sword & sorcery" and "hard science fiction" genres. It is set in a distant future Earth where nanotechnology has permitted people to turn themselves into dragons or merfolk or orcs for recreational purposes. The planet is governed by "Mother" a sentient computer network that evolved from the Internet.As the result of a catastrophic war, the population has been drastically reduced, and electric power is now in crucially short supply, all controlled by "Mother." People who were in "dragon" or "mer" or other alternate physical form are now stuck in that mode. "Mother" has decreed that no form of explosives may be used, so swords, spears and arrows are the hot ticket. Low pressure steam engines are permissible, but only of limited utility, and difficult to produce because the whole infrastructure of industry had been allowed to wither away when power was cheap, and "replicators" could produce desired devices.
This is a nautical tale, involving a sailing ship which is a sort of aircraft carrier for dragons. I liked it quite a bit better than I had expected to when I saw the dragon on the cover (I'm a hard core "hard SF" fan, and get quite turned off when magic is invoked.)
Film: (DVD) Being John Malkovich Spike Jonze, 1999
I've seen this before, but worth seeing again...what a hoot! Very highly recommended.
Film: (DVD) Ivanhoe Richard Thorpe, 1952
I've been eagerly awaiting the DVD release of this film for quite a while. I saw it in the theatre during the first run, when I was 8 or 9, and it made a big impression on me at the time. Most particularly, I was infatuated with Elizabeth Taylor, who was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.I do remember that this was the first that I had ever heard of Saxons or Normans, and that I found it very exciting.
The film looks pretty silly to my adult eyes, especially after reading the book and listening to an audiobook reading of it at a later date. Nevertheless, viewed on its own terms as a hollywood epic, it was fun to watch.
Looks as if the extras budget was a bit skimpy for this film, the crowd scenes look rather fakey.
Film: (TV) Jet Pilot
A Cold War camp classic, with John Wayne as a U.S. fighter pilot and Joan Fontayne as a Soviet fighter pilot/spy posing as a defector. The plot is as silly as you might expect, but there's lots of cool footage of F86 Sabre jets doing their thing. The F86 was the hot fighter when I was a child, and during the Korean War, I still recall hearing the John Cameron Swayze doing the nightly news on TV. My favorite part was always when he'd give the day's score: "We lost 3 F86 Sabre Jets over Korea today, but our pilots shot down 12 MiG 15s." To me the F86 is still the most beautiful of airplanes.
Went in to The Computer Loft in Allston to order a new computer. I'll be getting one of the new G5 iMacs with a 20 inch screen, 250 gb drive, 1.25 gb memory and wireless bluetooth keyboard. I'm psyched! Should arrive within a couple of weeks.The weather finally broke, today was sunny an in the 40s. The snow is melting, though there's lots left over from the blizzard, but I got to take the transmogrified IRO out for 26 miles, heading out through Weston, over Glezen Lane and along Water Row, my favorite local road.
The IRO was great, I was surprised at how much of the time I was spending in the top 3 gears (87, 100 7 115 inches!)
Mostly listened to Shostakovich on my iPod.
Concert: Boston Symphony Orchestra Brahms, Rafæl Frühbeck de Burgos.
This concert featured three Brahms choral works: Nänie, Gesang der Parzen and Shicksalied. After the intermission it was the Symphony #1.Unfortunately, we forgot we had tickets to this one, but Harriet's PDA reminded her about quarter to eight. We rushed over to Symphony Hall, but the garage we usually park at was full. Wound up going to the Prudential Center garage, probably half a mile away, so we missed the whole first half of the concert. Did get to hear the Symphony #1. A fine, lively performance of a work I've heard too many times.
Fortunately, my PowerBook taped the concert, so I got to hear the 3 choral works, and they're now ensconced in my iPod.
Another nice day, still a LOT of snow to melt though. I took the IRO for another 26 miler, this time down through Needham and Dover. Got lost a couple of times, but that's always fun. Everything looks different when the trees are bare and the ground all covered with snow.
eBook: The Last Kingdom Bernard Cornwell, 2005
This is the start of a new projected series of historical novels from the author of the Sharpe's Rifles series. Set in the late 9th century, in an England almost completely conquered by Danish vikings, this series will follow the career of Alfred the Great, through the eyes of a fictional Earl named Uhtred. I liked this book very much and can hardly wait for the sequels.Bikers' Banquet at Redbones
This annual gathering of folks in the greater Boston bike biz is organized by Scott Chamberlain. This is the first year it has been at Redbones (previously at a Waltham taqueria) and it was, if anything too successful...they had to turn away latecomers, and it was very crowded. Nevertheless, a Good Time Was Had By All.

eBook: Double Star Robert Heinlein, 1956
I'm not sure how many times I've read this book, but it is among my top ten favorite books of all time, and this probably won't be the last time I'll re-read it.eBook: A Drift from Redwood Camp Bret Harte
A tale of the California Gold Rush.
Harriet and I went to dinner at Sol Azteca in Newton Centre, nice to get out on a "date."Film: (DVD) Royal Wedding 1951
A Fred Astaire musical, mostly quite forgettable, except for his dance with a hat rack in a gym on an ocean liner. There's a major special-effects sequence on a rotating set where he dances up the walls and onto the ceiling of a hotel room.Lousy script, lousy acting but some very fine dancing.
Re-dyed hair and beard.
Film: (DVD) Cloak and Dagger Fritz Lang, 1946
Gary Cooper as a nuclear physicist turned O.S.S. spy to try to keep the Nazis from developing The Bomb.
Indianapolis
Flew out to Indianapolis to speak to the Central Indiana Bicycling Association. The event was in a library, quite a good crowd, probably about 130 people.I spoke for about two hours on a variety of topics, then repaired to a nice local brew pub for a couple of I.P.A.s. Glad I wasn't driving...it is somewhat surprising how tipsy I can get on a couple of pints, since I have stopped drinking on a regular basis. Anyway, the talk was quite well received, and a good time was had by all.
My hosts were very pleasant and hospitable.

Film: (DVD) King Arthur Antoine Fuqua 2004
An interesting romanesque take on the Arthurian legend. No less plausible than other versions. Battle scenes got kinda boring as they went on too long.February 20, 2005
I finally got Harriet's aluminum bike together. This was the frame she built when she was at M.I.T. in the early 1970s, but it had never been completed as a ridable bicycle. It has been hanging on the wall in our living room for many years, ever since we got it back from the lawyers (it was an exhibit in the lawsuit between Klein and Cannondale.)February 26, 2005
