I saw "huluplus" and thought, for a moment, "it IS lupus!".
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Looks like the cost for HuluPlus and Amazon Prime are less than what I had been paying for Netflix, monthly. I know, I'd have to pay Amazon Prime for the full annual amount together. But the other benefits of Prime sound pretty good too.

Is there an easy way to have last.fm remove an artist from my library? It keeps giving me Weird Al because I like Jonathan Coulton.

Yeah, hope I didn't mislead. Prime is worth it for me for other reasons; I don't rely on unboxed free very much. But I do order movies occasionally (and pay).
But the price of DVDs has come down SO much from when I joined Netflix in 2000, that these days I'll just buy the DVD if I really want to see something. My neighbors and I have huge collections between us, so lending them out is nice, too.

It turns out that wen we move to Cincinnati we'll be able to get over the air TV again. I had sort of forgotten about that, since we get none here! We're talking about replacing our 20+ year old big square TV with one of these newfangled ones. I'll look up Consumer Reports, but any suggestions? We don't need gigantic or HD, but not randomly breaking for no reason would be good.

I'm not sure it's possible to buy an SD TV anymore. And most new TVs will probably support 3D as well, since it's so cheap to build in the capability.
That said, I love my Samsung. When we were upgrading a few years ago, they were far and away the best-reviewed brand out there.

We get about 8-10 PBS stations, and I do not lie. (We are non-cable-having people.)

Nature shows! Nature shows for everyone!
Why on earth anyone would want 3D tv is beyond me. Even for nature shows.
