So It Begins

I finally broke down and joined Netflix.

It's not that I had any particular aversion to the program. It sounded like a wonderful arrangement. What I had a problem with was me...and my issues with delayed gratification.

"I'm not doing Netflix! When I get it in my head to watch a movie, I want to watch it right then, not 2 or 3 days later!" (As if being a member of Netflix somehow invalidated my Blockbuster membership).

But with moving to New York and not finding a video store on every corner, coupled with a Master's Comprehensive Examination Bibliography chock full of hundreds of films I am expected to watch outside of class, I thought it was time to cross over.

You'll have to excuse me now. I had three DVDs in my mailbox and two years worth of anti-social behavior ahead of me.
