too many 5am wakeups

I was on a train back and forth to Boston from NYC for a total of maybe 9+ hours today.

On the trip out I slept.

On the trip back I attempted to converse with people with my spotty cell phone reception and I watched the movie "Domino" on my laptop. Keira Knightly is for the most part utterly unconvincing as the socialite, model turned knife throwing bounty hunter. Then again, I don't run with that crowd so how could I possibly know. I do wish that I had less of a fear of death and more of a propensity towards violence cause she was really cool and I wish I could be cool like that.

All that time on a train ... leads me to think that the Agatha Christie novel "Murder on the Orient Express" was pretty brilliant. I can see how the train totally lends itself towards murder plots as compared with other modes of transport.

    yeah, but i bet she was pretty convincing as the hot british girl cast for her looks. but ergie, you are waaaaaay cooler than her!

    also, im going to take a stab (heheeee) at the theme of the train before i look at your myspace to see if you posted one. i'll go with "i wanted to strangle someone for the last 8 hrs of the ride"....If that's right, then i win and you have to stay in nyk.

    Yeah... a murder plot set in a minivan doesn't leave a whole lot of room for intrigue and suspense.

    But Snakes on a d Plane comes in pretty close, right?
    =P

    ldbug: I'm not plottin'. I'm just sayin' - using the buddy system on a train might be wise.

    kenyc: She certainly does deliver in the hot british girl capacity. C'mon yo, you and I both know that I am waaaay dorkier by any measure. The crazy thing about Domino is that there is actually a real chick who was a socialite-model turned bounty hunter.

    No train themes from me of late. I must get on that. I'd love to stay in NY. It's really growing on me.

    patrick: Exactly! Ah yes, how could I forget "Snakes on a Plane."

    Y'know ... Snakes in a Minivan could make for a scary youtube movie.
