so after 4 years or so, i cancelled my netflix subscription the other day…it was a tough decision, and i’m having anxiety over it. no really, it’s lame but i am. thing is, though–we never watch the movies. they just sit and sit and sit, meanwhile netflix is gettng my money–even though i downgraded to the 12 buck ‘you can only watch 4 a month’ (not that it was ever an issue) plan, it was still a total waste…to make matters worse, either my crappy dvd player or the quality of the discs they’re sending out has dramatically plummeted…most of the time we couldn’t get through the damn movie anyway. there’s a blockbuster up the street so i suppose i could rock it old school and go there for movies..but man, i can’t tell you how many times i’ve said "you know it’s be x years since i had to go into a block buster"–not to mention that they never have anything interesting or in stock..ho hum…maybe i’ll sign back up in a week. i feel alone, ALONE with out the little red envelope next to the TV–just sitting there, laughing at me…’you’re wasting money, you’re wasting money". this should be liberating…but it’s not. god i’m lame.
in other big big news, i’ve been doing some rearranging of the home office…i mounted my phone on the wall right next to my desk, thus liberating oh i dunno about 8 square inches. fucking earthshattering, isn’t it? i’m going to get a piece of plywood to put over the top of henry’s crate to expand my desktop space…i already have papers and folders and shit all over it anyway. i know, i’m crazy like that. really.
we’re going out for sushi with some of natty’s nursing student friends and their significant others, should be fun..naturally it will take 3 mins for the groups to break off, women taking about nursing, men talking about er, trucks or something, ok we’ll talk about computers or something nerdy.
ah friday, all that means to me now is that tomrrow i get to sleep an extra hour, why just an hour? b/c that’s all the animals will let me have–but what a sweet sweet hour it will be. yes that is all i have to look forward to.

Now that you’ve gotten rid of netflix, you can surf the softcore porn section over at Blockbuster. Who doesn’t say to themselves: “Hmmmm . . . why not Shannon Tweed tonight in “Dangerous Lies”"? Why not indeed. (btw-I haven’t been to Blockbuster in 7 years. Top that, Jefke)
Also, you do have cable in demand. PPV . .. get with the program, Jefke.

Let me see if I can get you to sign up with blockbuster online so I can get mega referrals.

I love me some Netflix. We do about 12 a month, at least. Burn-and-return for most of them, but we DO watch about a third. We lost one, though, so our supply chain has been cut by a third….

I love me some burn and return. The wife says “Why are you burning that?” I say, “because blank DVDs are about 50 cents!” Why the hell wouldn’t you burn it? I have like 250+ DVDs or something. Not all are dupes, some I have purchased.
