'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
To make up for the irritatingness of school of late (well, for me, at least), today, we are watching The Princess Bride in class. We read the book, so we're doing the comparison thing.
The kids are loving it, both those who have and have not seen it before (How have people not seen it before?)
I am currently using some remote desktop software to control a client's computer in Washington, DC. It's the weirdest feeling - knowing he could be watching everything I do, or not at all, or someplace between those two....
Anyway, not much time to slack at the moment....
That's incredible to hear from the East coast, shrift.
It's been a while since I've taken Amtrak anywhere -- last time I think was to Toronto when I was still in college. What they have listed on their website may not match up with reality, but if I take the train, I will report back!

Exactly. The train from Syracuse to Penn Station takes five hours or something crazy, and you could drive it in three on a good day. And it's over $100, too.
That's incredible to hear from the East coast, shrift. Up and down the northeast corridor, Amtrak is slower than driving and as expensive as flying, for the most part.
Grr. Don't get me started. It's enough to drive one into the arms of Fung Wah! (Although I gather Greyhound has come just as cheap.)
Last time I took Amtrak (granted, six years ago now), the fast train was more expensive than flying and about the same speed, and the slow train was still $100+ round-trip, and took six hours either way.

I'm pretty sure I've never actually seen the whole thing of Princess Bride.
Inconceivable!
Jesse, say it ain't so.
Back to FNL for a sec - Lyla flipping her shit like that didn't actually seem OTT for me. Maybe I have problems with impulsiveness, but her demolition derby was something I could have seen myself doing given her circumstances.
The boys damn near killed me with how awesome they were all together. Riggins getting along with Street AND Smash! Saracen being the junior member and learning from Street, and yet having to lead the entire team next week. And Smash? Call your girlfriend. Tell her you're still processing. Something.
As always, Buddy Garrity can burn in hell.
I'm pretty sure I've never actually seen the whole thing of Princess Bride.
Would you like us to recite it for you?
