I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's why I put my account on hold for a while.

Is there actually a hold option? We were talking about it, and husband thought he'd seen it, but we could only find information about canceling.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

But Hustle & Flow is fun. Gritty, but fun. With good music.

Love that movie. Much more than I thought I would.

I'm on the 3-disc plan on Netflix, but I use one of the spots for various workout DVDs.

Yes, there is. It's not one of the free trial options. All the plans are listed near the bottom third of this page: [link]

Oh okay, I thought I had seen that somewhere when I upgraded from 3 to 4.

My Netflix guilt is that my upgrade was only supposed to be for the duration of my film class, but the semester ended 2 months ago.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

my workdays are averaging 10 hours/day right now and often involve 6am starts, my free time has been occupied with home improvement work and beauraucratic running arounds. SO basically the wait is because of other priorities. I don't think I've watched more than an hour of tv on more than a handful of days in the last 2 months.

I also had a completely different Netflix guilt over the 4th of JJuly holiday, because I had nothing to watch the whole weekend, and broke down and went to Blackbuster and got 6 movies (I don't have cable, so there is often nothing on). I felt like I was cheating on Netflix.

It was nice, though, to have movies instead of TV shows. I haven't had a movie out from Netflix in years, as there is so much TV I need to watch. Currently, I am working my way through Popular (love it), Undeclared (Like it) and MI-5 (only saw ones I had already seen). I just finished Freaks and Geeks and Dead Like Me.

Because books.

You all just inspired me to finally sign up for Netflix.

I see. I was just wondering because I only Netflixed it myself because it was part of my Oscar blitz. It sat around a bit because I thought it was going to be a downer, but I found it really inspiring and wound up liking it a lot more than I thought.

I made my students sign up this past semester. (They didn't have any books to buy and it was just easier to coordinate viewing that way.) Within weeks, they admitted they weren't always using it for class, but they were all extremely grateful that I had introduced them to Netflix.

I don't know why I've been waiting. And we're always racking up late fees, blah blah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I downgraded Netflix to 2 at a time, but I think I'm going to upgrade back to 3. With only 2, I end up some nights movieless. (The horror.) I kept 24 Days Later for four months (so, more like 120 Days Later) , but I feel no guilt.
