Superbored

So frickin' sleepy.

I came home today to find that slow-as-shit Netflix finally delivered one of those "unlimited" discs. Knowing that if I didn't get it in the mail tomorrow, I would have to wait another freakin' week to get them to send another one out. Anyway.

So, I'm on the sofa, watching Jesus Christ Superstar, and what do I do? Sleep through it. I won't be trying to watch that later, either. That movie bored me to tears. I literally pulled the blanket over my head and turned my back to it.

Y'all know I'm a big fan of musicals and rock operas, but this one blows goats. It was just...nuh uh. I have to confess that I was going to talk some serious smack about Godspell's whole trying-to-be Hair (although the movie version predates Hair by a few years) but even in that movie I had momentary urges to get up and shake the booty a bit. Not so much with JCSS.

I'm not even going to bother picking it apart and discussing the thematic blah blahisms. I feel like I wasted a Netflix week (those slow fuckers).

Every season change I get this huge wave of delirium-laced sleepiness. I can't wait for fall to settle in good so I can keep my eyes open longer than 8 pm.

Netflix just got a warehouse in our town. They are super fast now. You must live a ways from a warehouse.

JCSS - Gotta agree - boringest movie ever, although it DOES have slightly more action than watching roadkill decompose.

Slightly.

We're about to cancel out NetFlix account, we just don't watch the movies very quickly at all and its stupid to pay $18 a month if the movies never get watched.

What are the unlimited discs?

mace: the closest Netflix processing facility is about 40 miles away. They just sit on our discs so long that the service becomes pack-mule slow.

J.H.: the "unlimited" discs are the discs we're not getting on our two-out-at-a-time/uncapped plan. I log how any discs we get each billing period. Last month we had 10 or eleven. This billing period, which ends tomorrow, we've had five. Even if we did take a week's vacation this period, it seems to me like they're pitifully erratic about getting those movies out. I wish there was a solution that didn't involve me going to Blockbuster twice per week.

I guess I should be happy with Mace that my Netflix warehouse isn't crazy slow like that. Man, that sucks.

Now I've got "Day by Day" stuck in my head. I might just have to go watch Godspell later.
