Netflix's = The Devil

I realized last night that there are so many things I wanna do when I get home at night but I usually don't get them done due to my Netflix's movies. Sure willpower may have something to do with it, but when you got movies just sitting there waiting to be watched...and you WANNA see them, and you WANNA see the upcoming ones in your cue you feel obligated to watch em when you get'm.

Last night I wanted to start reading some of these books I've been dying to read ever since I bought them but I kept putting them off because I was doing demo reel stuff when I got home after work. Now that I have a job where I don't have to go home at night and do extra animation or demo reel related stuff I should have time to read these books and do other things I want to do right.....wrooooong. I always fell I gotta watch these dam movies. Sure it's a personal problem but I'm starting to think that Netflix is the devil for me. It does come in a red package....it does contain things that will make me sit on my couch and waste away for hours at a time. Then there is their website...you gotta go rate these movies, only to warn your friends or others what you thought was a shitty movie....or what was an awwwesome movie. It's a viscious cycle.

Now I know what your thinking...'idiot...just devote a few hours or specific nights where you'll watch your movies or read or do something else productive like paint beanhole and get new beanbags, or further your guitar playing education"....but it's not that easy. Something always comes up. BAH!

What a stupid rant this is but I'm take'n a break at work and thought about this last night, or maybe it's a subconscious cry for help. Who knows. Thanks for listening. HA.

I hear ya. Their website sucked me in for weeks. Just go check how many movies i've rated. Disgusting. I don't have such a hard time with the movies though... I just rip em and send them back, so they just get stuck on a spool of DVD's that I get to when I get to.

Speaking of demo reel... I never got to see your final cut... I wanna see!

You know, I'm pissed that Netflix sent us The Wire where there were only 2 stinkin' episodes. What the hell is that? 2 freakin' episodes on a honkin' DVD? Ridiculous! Sopranos kicks it's ass with like a gojillion episodes. GRRRRR...now we gotta wait for the next episodes in the que...Netflix is a wicked mistress.

Wicked mistress.... nice.

The problem with netflix is the same as I have with "open bars", or "buffet lunches".. how much can I cram in my piehole to make it seem worthwile. It is the glutton in me I guess. But yeah brett, it is starting to piss me off too.

i read that last line as "brett is starting to piss me off too." thought you were airing some dirty laundry there germie...perhaps inciting a blog-war.

i'll take your words for it. i'm ig'nant in the ways of net-flix.

I have also fallen prey to this conundrum. Since Kurt moved to Atlanta, I have not maximized the Netflix return on investment the way I used to. I have had two DVD sitting around my house for 2 weeks.

I have just decided to let it go and not worry about it. Netflix is now truly making some money off of me. But I guess I would rather pay them and do nothing than pay the YMCA and not go.
