CA's railway tracks beggar belief - which is to say, do actual trains use those tracks while they are in that condition? Because quite honestly i find that highly difficult to imagine being the case.
Yes, they do! Isn't it crazy?
There are a few videos of it on YouTube...it's almost painful to watch.
The Maumee & Western was infamous for its poor track upkeep...thankfully, they got bought out by Pioneer in 2012 and the new railroad (Napoleon, Defiance & Western) is planning to invest in some much-needed repairs.
Instead of the book he’s meant to write, Rudolph, a Viennese musicologist, produces this dark and grotesquely funny account of small woes writ large, of profound horrors detailed and rehearsed to the point of distraction. We learn of Rudolph’s sister, whose help he invites, then reviles as malevolent meddling; his ‘really marvelous’ house, which he hates; the suspicious illness he carefully nurses; his ten-year-long attempt to write the perfect opening sentence; and, finally, his escape to the island of Majorca, which turns out to be the site of someone else’s very real horror story.
A brilliant and haunting tale of procrastination, failure, and despair, Concrete is a perfect example of why Thomas Bernhard is remembered as “one of the masters of contemporary European fiction” (George Steiner).

sounds nifty.
I read a good chunk of his first novel, Frost. It is absolutely hilarious.
Bernhard has a knack for that sort of thing. The mad artist in Frost makes all of these utterly terrible yet delightfully pithy observations about everything that dance along the line between brilliant and utterly ludicrous. It makes you feel for the protagonist, who is clearly slipping into La-La Land because of this entertaining wingnut's influence.

It understands what it's adapting better than perhaps any of its toy-based peers in Hollywood these days, despite (or maybe because of!) its broad premise
Surreal moment today: During a briefing on biological weapons, there was a slide showing a timeline of bio weapon attacks. The speaker noted how their frequency increased over the decades. Then he joked that there weren't more attacks in the 70s because the music was better back then.
I do want to see the Lego Movie, but I worry that it will crush Mr. Peabody and Sherman
I want those characters to be relevant again, even if their DreamWorks-ified forms may make me nerd rage
Peabody & Sherman's trailer looked hella, I'm sort of hoping to catch that one later on
and HTTYD 2, though the trailers are going to spoil everything so I'm only going to be able to operate on the idea that it exists and most of the first movie's crew are working on it

More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
Because a male doing something vaguely effeminate (i.e. carrying a zebra-striped purse) is stepping outside the bounds of his proper place and disturbing the order, which also means he is gay.

And because Jerry Falwell was basically a crackhead without the excuse that actual crackheads have of being on crack.
^^ ...OK, yeah, Pat Robertson was/is crazier, but Falwell was all too eager to jump on that bandwagon.

It's certainly well-written, but I can't say I'm enjoying it. It's very suffocating.
