Me:
Saw the new movie, Batman Begins today. It was good. The fight scenes were fast and frenetic, but seemed well done. It was a much better Batman movie than the last two or three that they've made.

Weather was a pleasant surprise. Mid to high 60's. Great day to ride. Took the motorcycle to the theatre. Pacific Place offers motorcyclists $5 parking, with in & out priveleges all day till midnight. Pretty good deal, especially the in & out. Hung out at Alki for a while. Got some information on some local bike clubs. Will hopefully find some sane and safe people to ride with. I'm not into the zipping in and out of traffic, wheelies, etc. on the highway. It's not safe, and it's not worth my life. Hopefully, tomorrow will be just as nice, and another day to get some more seat time. Did have my first experience today at getting driven off the road. Was heading South on I-5, in the right hand lane, to take the West Seattle bridge exit. This lady, swerved over not one, but two lanes, to then try and take the Spokane St exit. No blinkers, no look behind her, nothing. I had to slam on the brakes and try to steer away from her. She finally saw me there, and tried to just wave. Followed her to the next stop, asked her to be more careful, and told her she should use her blinkers. She nodded and pathetically tried to apologize. As she drove off, she made two more turns without using her blinker! Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive. If I thought it would have done any good, I would have called 911 and given them her license plate number.

Picked up Untold Legends for the PSP yesterday. So far, seems a cool game. Will be a fun Wi-Fi game. Have to still learn all the moves and codes, but it looks like fun. Another game for James to beat me at probably :) but it will be fun to play together.
