Netflix saved my life

I can't tell you what a huge movie buff I am. I could literally sit down and do nothing but watch movies all day if life and money didn't get in the way. XD Yes, I'm that lame.

Before my baby was born, it was a ritual to see at least one movie every weekend. Before I was married, I would see at least two a week. My father used to be crazy about going to the theater and thus the curse was passed down to me. I don't think my baby brother is into movies as much as I am. I just love a good story. So, how Netflix saved me... Well, after my baby was born, I used to go bonkers being trapped in my house with limited cable. And I would probably cry a little when I would hear about a movie I really wanted to see was out in the theater and there was nothing I could do about it. Let's just say my parents and his live 4 to 5 hours away and I had no one I could trust taking care of my newborn. Plus, I didn't want to throw my baby on my girlfriend who also was stuck with a newborn and a 4 year-old daughter. She was as tired as I was. So, running to the mailbox to get a red envelope that I knew had a DVD inside of it brought me so much joy in my postpartum. And when I could have it streaming through my PS3! Forget about it!! Complete orgasm. HA! jk With streaming, I've been watching movies that I normally would never pay for, catching me up on oldies. Though, I don't get to see many latest movies, I've been watching movies more than ever and with the selection in my queue, this gives me enough time to wait for the latest to be out on video. Can't say it actually replaces the theater experience, but it'll do until my baby understands you can't be screaming or running in a place like that.

Anyway, I'm done with grad school!! No more tests, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks! ;)
