netflix

How many movies do you have in your Netflix queue?

If I’ve learned anything over the last several months, it’s that clutter slows you me down.

I was listening to the radio and Guy came on; he wraps it up and sticks a bow on it:

Too much walkin’ll wear your shoes out
Too much juice’ll blow your fuse out
Too much time’ll fill your hands up
Too much speed’ll wire the band up
Too much chip’ll bruise your shoulder
Too much birthday’ll make you older
Too much map has always lost me
Too much fun has always cost me

Beyond the usual places I find clutter (my desk, my closet, my garage, my car), I’ve found another one - my Netflix queue.

If I watch three movies a week, and don’t add any more to the queue, it will still take well over two years to watch them all. Something has to go.

Too much just ain’t enough
Too much ain’t near enough
Breathin’s bout the only thing
I do too much of ain’t enough

I’m watching Stop Making Sense on Netflix on the computer. Yes, I don’t even have to wait for the freakin’ mail anymore. (sucks that I have to use IE, instead of my beloved Opera, but hopefully that’s temporary)

Grammy doesn’t care much for the Talking Heads, though

I’ve got free stuff! Sorta.

Of course I can send you a gmail invite (I don’t think anyone cares about them anymore, though). And for a week or so I can send you a free month of Netflix. Sure, anybody can get two weeks by going to their website, but this is a free month! That’s like twice as free. Or, something.

If you want some, leave a comment or whatever.

I think every blog is legally entitled to a bullet point entry at least once per week:

• I didn’t watch a movie last night. I put in ‘Secret Things. It’s about an erotic dancer and female bartender who try to sleep their way to the top of the corporate world, and it’s foreign. What’s not to like? Subtitles. I didn’t think I could read a movie for two hours and stay awake, so I’ve put it off. Don’t cry for me, Argentina, I’ll be fine. But I gotta tell you the opening scene is an eyecatcher (it’s “NR” for a good reason)
• I found out something I did at work was mostly right the first time. Go me.
• The good folks at One More Mile are having a sale on their long sleeve wicking shirts. Not as cheap as Wal-Mart’s cheapest, but having bought both I can tell you these are much, much better.
• You’d think I work for One More Mile or get a kickback or something, but I don’t - just a happy customer. And when I buy stuff they send me a magnet with their logo, and I need magnets so I can hang artwork here at work on my overhead. And they have a new shirt (not on the website yet, but I’m gonna order one when I lose ten more pounds): Running is Cheaper than Therapy
• Speaking of movies (I was, at some point), Netflix sent me some doo-dad where I can give one month free to somebody. I think they want an e-mail address, not sure. If you want a free month (and don’t have netflix, I’m pretty sure it’s just new customers) lemme know.

Okay, enough of that. Have a great morning, y’all.
