Amtrak To Offer Free Rides To Writers

Amtrak will soon begin offering "writers’ residencies" to writers, essentially. What does that mean? Basically it'll be free, roundtrip rides aboard Amtrak trains dedicated solely for the purpose of writing. 

Obviously this seems entirely insane and great, so I'll believe it when it actually happens. You can read more of the details about it here.

How To Properly Cough

We all know this already, right? Apparently not. I counted literally over ten people today NOT adhering to these polices. Come on, people. We're adults. We should know better.

New York, you're great.

The Lego Movie

I'm not calling this a review because I'm not going to give you specific, listed points as to why YOU SHOULD GO SEE THIS MOVIE. 

I can't tell you what a good time it was. Really. I knew nothing about it beforehand (which is usually the best way to be pleasantly surprised by a good movie, I find) and it was fantastic and really funny at times. It's so easy to mess up a movie that's intended for kids these days, in my opinion, and this one was just great.

GO SEE! 

Everything Is Awesome

I'm hoping it isn't abnormal how quickly I loved this song after hearing it only one time. I realize how terrible it is - I really do, it's only the chorus I can't stop loving.

Coupon Advice

“Most stores have reward programs. Being a member gets you coupons. Sometimes you don’t use those coupons. Idea? Cut out any coupons (the ones you won’t use) and tape the coupons ABOVE the product that it could be used for. I’d be psyched to find a coupon above something I needed to buy.”

Hitchcock at Film Forum in NYC

Film Forum in New York is showing a crazy amount of Hitchcock films from Friday, February 21st through to Thursday, March 27th, which is all well and good, yes. But tonight, for their showings of North By Northwest and Blackmail - there's going to be "live piano accompaniment".

And I'm sorry, but does that not sound incredible? Such a neat idea. Definitely going. Tickets are $13. The full schedule can be found on their website.
