planes, trains, and nancy botwin.

i like train travel. sure, it takes longer and sometimes your space gets invaded when the person sitting next to you falls asleep and subsequently, falls over your "ridge." for those of you scratching your heads right about now, a "ridge" is a term i've recently become familiar with. according to my friend, matt, the "ridge" is the raised portion of a seat on a subway train that divides a person's designated seat. i suppose this applies to regular train travel, too. whatever. the "ridge" is not the point (and i'm secretly cringing at the fact that i keep calling it a "ridge." oh god, it's like i can't stop.)

anyway, despite all these things, i still prefer train travel to flying. here's why. a) flying sucks. b) i was able to enjoy season two of weeds on my last journey. ooh la la. three cheers for nancy botwin and her agrestic posse. apparently, they provide power outlets on trains (yay yay yay), so all you need is a laptop, and a boxed set of your favorite series or films, and you're all set. just sit back, relax, and enjoy the time to yourself. no hassel. no worries. until your space gets invaded by the woman sleeping next to you, but that's another story.

i still can't believe they killed peter. he was creepy, but death? so unecessary.
