I ride Portland’s buses and our wonderful (if a bit pricey) Tri-met LightRail system. The entire time, I have a smug look of self-satisfaction plastered on my face, because I know I’m totally awesome for ditching my car. Okay, that last part isn’t necessarily true. That look I have on my [...]]]> http://www.sodblog.com/general/work-sod/pet-peeves-about-my-daily-commute/feed/ http://www.sodblog.com/media/movies/the-orphanage/ http://www.sodblog.com/media/movies/the-orphanage/#comments Wed, 07 May 2008 12:47:52 +0000 Ben http://www.sodblog.com/?p=494 Stop me if you’ve heard this one - a hideously deformed outcast child in a setting with other children falls victim to a cruel prank gone wrong, causing his untimely and unintentional demise!

One of them, I’m now convinced, lives in Florida. No, I’m not talking about your Uncle Bernard. I’m talking about the student (or, more frighteningly, students) that turned a substitute teacher in to his supervisor for performing a magic trick in class. Yes, you read that right.

Much like many of the Canadians we meet, it’s nice enough but not exactly memorable.
