I have to get rid of my computer.
I’m not going to do that.
The internet, then. Save me some money.
Not going to happen.
No, I will keep my computer and my broadband and I will continue to waste time watching movies and bad t.v. shows and then watching them all again.
Yes, I finally got Netflix, and in the week and a-half I’ve had it I’ve watched 2 DVDs and a lot of streaming movies and t.v. shows.
A lot.
Now, I did learn one thing: I am over Law & Order. I watched an episode of L&O:SVU from their tenth season and just thought Blegggh—really?
And even tho’ I can watch CSI on CBS, my interest lags there, as well. Yes, there are still tw0-ish other shows I still tune in, but, mostly, I’m done with the whole t.v. thing.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that there are all these movies which I can watch at the click of the mouse.
This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem, save for my inability to close out the Netflix window after finishing a movie. Nope, time for another.
Pitiful. There’s reading and writing and Oh! Going outside!
Not happening.
This will fade, I know. I’ll get sick of myself doing nothing but sitting in front of my (um, new [it was on sale!], larger, external) monitor watching explosions and tears and drinking and running and people doing all the things I could be doing were not I sitting in front of my new, larger, external monitor.
But in the meantime, what’s that crappy movie I won’t admit to liking even as a guilty pleasure which I’ve seen 18 kajillion times. . . ?
Lord. Pitiful.
What I love about Netflix is I can get all the documentaries that the local chain video store would NEVER stock in a million years…
I actually turned my parents on to Netflix before I joined—largely because they couldn’t find movies they wanted to watch at the local vid store.
And yeah, I like Netflix for precisely the reason you mention: access to films that aren’t usually stocked.
