what else is there to do?

We dropped Netflix last year. I’d like to say it was because of the whole Quikster nonsense and the price gauging, but really it was that we finally realized we weren’t using it. Perhaps having a movie on the DVD player for eight months was a good indicator, lol.

We haven’t missed it – we have cable, HBO and a baby – but recently we’ve started renting from Redbox. Between the hiatus and the debates, a lot of our regular shows are on repeat and since we work until midnight most nights, we need the entertainment. It’s a good deal – new movies for a $1 – and we have three boxes within eight minutes of the house.

We watched 50/50 tonight – which made me cry like a baby (kids – yes a 20ish guy is a kid – getting cancer = sobs) – and it was excellent.
