Boston or LA?
San Francisco.
Boston or LA?
I've never been to Boston, but with all those intelligent well-read college girls walking around, surely it beats LA, which I don't like at all.
The original, or a clear improvement on the original? Show your work.
The original version of a movie (usually--Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was improved by the added scene of the liberation of the Island of Misfit toys, but that was an exception); but there's nothing wrong with digitally remastering a recording or technically restoring a film. No "coloration" though.
The better villain: Scrooge or Fagin?
Fagin is surely better at villainy.

Port wine. Any port in a storm, though.
And welcome to the site, North Star.
Saunas or volcanic springs?
Hello, Lykren, and same to you.
prose or poetry?
I usually prefer reading prose (or epic poetry), but I like both; and some literary forms combine the two.
Metrical or free verse?
Free, I'm just more accustomed to it I think. Of course I'll fall for Keats's flexible meters, Wordsworth and Frost's blank verse is splendid for sure. I'm not so well read in poetry
Backpack or briefcase?
Backpack
coffee or tea?
Coffee by a mile.
Pine or tropical forest?

Tea, I've never ventured into coffee. Backpack for me too.
Ode to a Nightingale or a Grecian Urn?
edit: pine
Meh, Nightingale I guess, I'm not the biggest Keats fan.
Yeats or Keats?

Yeats I suppose. Wonder if that's cause he's closer to the modern sensibility? Though Keats had better technique I do believe.
Same question.
Yeats, I like Yeats much more.
Sylvia Plath or Ted Hughes?

Ted Hughes
Auden or Larkin?
Plath! Way more exciting. Edit: oops. Auden.
continuing with poets...
Eliot (TS) or Stevens (Wallace)?
Eliot beats practically anyone for me. And I agree with North about Hughes, Plath has only a few poems I like, though I like them a fair bit.
Vancouver or Seattle?
