Do yourselves a favor and go pick up the six episode BBC miniseries State of Play rather than-- or before-- seeing the Russell Crowe version that came out today.  I have heard mostly good things about the film, and that's fine and all, but I guarantee you will find the miniseries MUCH more satisfying.

First warm day we've had this year, so I got a chance to bike in just shorts and a T-shirt instead of that plus pants and a jacket.  It was nice.  Oh, except for the part where a truck cut me off on the way to a red light.  Riiight over the handlebars.  My own fault, really.  My brakes need work, meaning the front tire stops more efficiently than the back tire, which is only really a problem when I have to stop suddenly.  Like, you know, when a truck cuts me off.  Everything's fine, just a little road burn on my shoulder.
